• Italian • Central

Booked 22 times today

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.

We had an outstanding experience, thank you. The personnel and Brett did a great job! Very welcoming and made our birthday experience extra special. One piece of feedback would be the plating of the cavier could have been more refined and thoughtful- specifically the serving spoon was too big and the plate was too big for the proportions of cavier and condiments.

Matsuhisa is a refreshing experience in Denver. Service was fantastic, everyone seemed genuinely excited to meet us and be a part of the team. The food was amazing, and the head waitress did an impeccable job guiding us through the large menu. Little pricey but definitely got more for the price. Can’t wait to go again and give it the highest recommendation!!

Bar and kitchen seemed a little slow. Holiday time can do that to a restaurant- we enjoyed ourselves very much.
