Second time here and I love this place! We got the balcony seat with a very pretty view and this…read morerestaurant felt like I was transported to Italy. Ordered the Antipasto and Spicy Crab Vodka. The crab pasta never disappoints!! The Antipasto was a spread of assorted cheese, meat, and vegetables- if you like spreads you should get this. For drinks we got the Mango Picante (subtle mango taste and it wasn't overly sweet) and We Want the Funk- my favorite (had a nice banana flavor to it and it was smooth). Our server was so attentive and helpful- 10/10 for the service. They had live music there as well and all in all I thoroughly enjoyed being here! I highly recommend this place!

Otherwise I loved the flavor and taste. The sauce paired perfectly with the savory beef and onions. It's also fairly priced.

This was a lovely dining experience!…read more The interior is spacious and has tons of natural light. I was genuinely impressed by the decor and layout of the building, despite the opulence of the exterior. Their menu is a bit small, but everything on it is done well. My Buccatini Alla Sciciliana was quite good and the portion was large. My husband's short rib pappardelle was amazing! I was jealous and will be ordering it next time. The cocktails were good, though not particularly unique. I had an Italian Lemonade which was made mostly of limincello, and it hit the spot. The ambiance is good so I'm a fan. I don't think you could go wrong here.

The chicken picatta was so, so good- just the right amount of lemony goodness. The Marsala was my husband's favorite- he's said it's some of the best he's had. My daughter said her veal was delicious. Get the cannoli- even if you don't normally like cannolis. My daughter loved her gooey snickerdoodle butter cake topped with ice cream. The decor and staff are everything you want in a family-owned Italian restaurant. There was Sinatra music playing and My Cousin Vinny on the TV - it was great. There is indoor and outdoor seating. It is a small restaurant with limited seating. If you are pressed, make a reservation. Don't go here, if you want quick, impersonal service. Street parking, just a heads up.

Was curious to try this place when I saw it near American Dough. I like creamy sauces more than…read moretomato and this was the only creamy sauce entree they seem to have without custom ordering. I also like lemony things. So their Cacio E Pepe was a natural choice for me. Gnocchi is not typically my first pasta choice of texture but Luca's makes the gnocchi and sauce blend so well together . I feel like I would love this sauce on fettuccine and I would like that more but I also think it complements the texture of the gnocchi better too. The shrimp accentuates this dish . So hopefully you like shrimp. They peeled off the shells completely which was nice. The bread had tasty herbs and the salad was refreshing. The sfogliatella was crunchy with tasty custard but the winning dessert has to be the pistachio ricotta cake.. The flavor of the cake is a fun experience in one's mouth and I didn't feel it was too cheesy or too sweet etc. The ingredients are just balanced so well together for a "food harmony." Anyone reading this and seeing that made up term wants to make you give this place a try now! Everything tastes like it was made from scratch. The menu may be relatively small, but they are good at what they do. Staff was friendly and they seem to know their regulars and new people. I also might have been the only one ordering on a random Wednesday night. I believe there is a small seating area but I took out.

No bread and when I could not remember the Wine I wanted instead of helping he said I'll stop back. It was not very busy at that time. After our order was placed, we could hear the waitress next to us read specials out to other tables that were not on the Mother's Day list. Our waiter did not read the specials to us or tell us some Dinners were not in writing. So all that being said for 168.00$ for three people 1 glass of wine, to eat dinner No soups and 1 appetizer I want to be pampered. The appetizer was delicious Dates stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped in bacon. We did order 2 dessert crème brûlée and a cannoli they were both delicious.
