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.

    Overall it was another nice evening, and our food was great as usual. Unfortunately, we found the main front desk person to be a bit less welcoming and accommodating than we’re used to at a Bonnano restaurant. The place was busy and we understand tables are not always available at the reservation time, but communication was poor and then we were offered a tightly-spaced table right in front of the door. No thank you. Fortunately our waiter more than made up for the rough start!

    Gabby was an amazing server and did an exceptional job. My only issue was with the forced surcharge of 22%. Not cool.
