If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset. Tucked away on Rt. 27 between Princeton and New Brunswick, Luca’s Somerset is an oasis of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Offering modern adaptations of traditional dishes from Ischia, here you can enjoy hand-cut ravioli stuffed with Chef Andrea’s latest mouth-watering combinations, a selection of fish entrees so fresh that they evoke the Mediterranean Sea, or a filet of such quality that it is paralleled only by the accoutrement that accompany it. Our dining room décor is uniquely Ischitana, and goes to show that here at Luca’s Somerset, we understand that the difference is in the details. When you are done with it all, take in the cozy setting with a delicious dessert made from scratch, and the perfect cup of locally micro-roasted espresso or cappuccino. So please, be our guest.

    We dine out every Friday night as date night. Luca’s is on our rotation for every 6 weeks or so. Service is professional and homie at the same time. Gorgeous interior decoration from chef ‘s hometown. They only use very high quality ingredients. Creative dishes with Italian root. Food quality is always good. We are here probably 100 times, they always deliver. Favorite restaurant in NJ, period.

    Food was outstanding. Best calamari appetizer. Would recommend place highly, more on the expensive side but well worth it. Especially cause can bring in your own wine.

    Octopus appetizer excellent, Fagilio Soup good at times better, Chicken Parm entree took a long time to come out. Matt the waiter drops off side off pasta five minutes before bringing out the chicken parm. Overcooked the chicken parm and not as tasty as usual. I didn’t see Luca, I guess he had the night off and the usually high quality of the food and service suffered. Fourth time there the other three times were amazing last night was a let down.
