Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

This restaurant is excellent. The lobster pasta is by far the best I've had in denver. The carpaccio is made well, very fresh. This dish is simple, however it's basically impossible to find people who can execute it correctly. The service is 100%. The host was incredible. Once again they have given an exceptional experience. It's worth the money. I will be going back soon.

It’s like a little slice of Italy right here in Denver. Fun place to eat and the service is the best. The lamb shank is delicious and enough for two people.

This is a cute place on the way to a Michelin but the food could have been better and the martini class could have been cold.
