Food is always delicious, the service is great and ambience is very welcoming. So Super sad to see another family owned restaurant close its doors because of high rent. This should be outlawed to raise the rent to a business that serves and brings together a community. I will hate to see them so. A HUGE THANK YOU LUCABELLA FOR ALL THE YEARS OF WONDERFUL FOOD! read more

We've lived in the area walking distance to LucaBella for almost 2 years and I've passed by countless times walking my dog. I've enjoyed seeing diners enjoying some delicious looking meals countless times so we finally made it a point stop in. We had an amazing experience from when we were seated until the end of our meal . The decor was very warm and inviting. It's nice to have a fancy restaurant in the area. Chad , our server was very personable and attentive. He gave some very constructive opinions on the wines and food options. I opted for the chicken parmagiana which was an excellent choice . The portion was large, our food came out piping hot and every bite was delicious. My partner enjoyed the special which was a spicy seafood pasta. At first bite , he actually exclaimed, "wow." After our meal , we spoke with the owner and were so sad to find out they're closing at the end of February. We will make it a couple times before then. Our best to the owners- Glendora is losing a wonderful restaurant . read more

We went here for Sunday brunch at 9:30am and it was not busy at all. We made reservations just in case, but it isn't necessary as even by 11am when we left, there were still lots of tables. This is a welcoming breath of fresh air when a lot of brunch spots have hours long waitlists or need to book reservations weeks in advance. This brunch spot features large portions at good prices, though now it is okay prices given they surcharge extra 40 cents per egg so each dish will cost $1-2 more so it can add up. We got the breakfast burrito, pork belly sandwich, pork belly hash, and steak and potato. The breakfast burrito is pretty large and hearty, with a good amount of eggs and potatoes. The pork belly sandwich has lots of sauce but the pork belly is still fairly crispy and hearty. The salad on the side was okay. The pork belly hash features crispy pork belly with a boat load of potatoes, along with spinach, caramelized onions, and roasted bell peppers. There was probably 8 pieces of pork belly so it is okay portions compared to a very hefty amount of potatoes. I love the flavor of the pork belly and how nice they made the egg over easy. The steak and potato was okay. Steak was overcooked though it was still tender. Yet again there was a hefty amount of potatoes. We also got nutella bomboloni which is a fried donut. They do it differently as the nutella is placed on top. The bombolonis I am familiar with have stuffing inside and optionally sugar outside. This was a bit sweet but it was fairly low commitment as it was $3.50. Service is decent as they check up on you a few times. I wished they gave less ice for water as the water refills were iced water too, so each refill you get less and less of actual water as ice accumulates in the cup. Food-wise, if you like the greasy spoon type of brunch spots here, then you will like it. I am more a quality over quantity person, so this was just okay of an experience for me. They just stuff lots of breakfast potatoes to make the dish filling, but in itself you are not getting that much more value than any other sit-down restaurants. read more

My best friend visited from out of town for a week & we ate at LucaBella twice in that timeframe because we loved it so much. The buccatini pesto with burrata is fantastic! I also love the eggplant. My best friend got the bucatini with meatballs & has already mentioned multiple times that we'll be going to LucaBella the next time she's in town. Our server was great & remembered us the next time we came in (it was only a few days later- but still!) We sat on the patio & it was very nice when the sun went down- Glendora village is quiet at the north end, so it was relaxing. We'll definitely be back read more

The food is delicious! You could have 1/2 sandwich with a choice of salad sea - salad, soup or fries. I had 1/2 the Kitchen Sink sandwich - turkey, roasted bell peppers, herb goat cheese and arugula. The fries were some of the best I've ever had. My husband a Nick's Chopped salad and he said it was fresh and perfectly dressed. The butter cake was rich and gooey, the vanilla ice cream was the perfect topping. read more

Went there for dinner. I was disappointed because I had heard rave reviews of this place and it turned out to be incorrect. The chicken parm was very dry and no real flavor to it. read more

Flavor 3.5/5 - I've been here a few times, and the dishes are pretty good. Nothing stood out to me to bump it up to 4 stars, but I wasn't disappointed either. Price 3.5/5 - The prices are pretty fair, considering the higher-end nature of the restaurant and the portion size. Quality 3.5/5 - Some items are listed as organic, and their recipes are pretty good. The quality of the cooking oil is unknown. Service 3.5/5 - The service is standard for a higher-end restaurant. Ambiance - Business casual, clean, Italian. read more

EVERYTHING about this restaurant is superb. The food is exquisite, the service is superior. We all feel like family when we're eating there. It is RARE that my husband and I go anywhere else when we dine out. Glendora is blessed to have this eatery. It's like Cheers, only with fabulous food. I really don't know what we'd do without our frequent visits to this home away from home. Glad I don't have to worry about that, Cheri Ballesteros, customer 626-252-5144 read more

Food was great, service solid, ambiance was nice. I believe this place is closing down which is sad, because it was honestly good.

Was looking to grab a quick bite around the area. I came here for the first time today during lunch. I ordered a burger with the garlic and parmesan fries. I would say it's a 10/10. My sister ordered the turkey sandwich with tomato bisque and it was also amazing. Service was also quick and the food came out fast. I will definitely be coming back. read more

Great salad! The portion size was just right, with a nice balance of balsamic dressing that complemented the fresh leaves under the steaks. The space between tables felt comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed. It wasn't crowded at all when I visited around 11:30 on a Saturday, which made for a really pleasant dining experience. read more

I'm fortunate to live in a suburban community outside of Los Angeles, situated in the foothills of the northern San Gabriel Valley, with a great restaurant just under a mile away -- only minutes from my home. I frequently dine at Luca Bella Fine Foods, which offers an excellent dinner menu. I'm also impressed by the wide array of equally delicious options on their weekday lunch and weekend brunch menu. Let me not forget the front-of-house staff at Luca Bella. They are attentive and make their guests feel welcome and appreciated, which simply elevates one's dining experience. Do yourself a solid and partake in a terrific meal at Luca Bella Fine Foods in Glendora. Drop in or make a reservation on OpenTable. Your taste buds and your belly with thank you!

We chose Luca Bella to celebrate both my cousin's and my birthdays, so I had high hopes that it would satisfy our taste buds, but none of us were impressed. It was disheartening, to say the least. Not to say that the food is bad; it just sort of breathes mediocrity. We got the sausage alfredo and the mushroom alfredo, but the alfredo sauce itself was kinda bland. My cousin and his wife augmented their alfredo with the steamed ham, but that was unremarkable. A couple of us went with the chicken parm, which actually was a solid parm. However, the pasta and tomato sauce that the chicken parm sat on was forgettable. The last dish on our table was the rigatoni bolognese, but my cousin was the only one to eat it. He said, "It was all right." Now, although the food is not something I'd return for, this experience had some positives. The service was fast and friendly, and they even gave us birthday tiramisu to share for the table! It was a sweet gesture! I also love how quaint the area was where Luca Bella was located. You get such a small town feel, seeing all of the local shops and restaurants. Plus, this time of year, the street was decorated so festively! If you're in the area, then come support a small business! It's not my choice for food, but it could be yours! read more

Great service, we came for a baby sprinkle and they put us in a semi private room. It was quiet and easy for conversation. Food was fresh and beautiful presentation. I didn't care for the salad dressing (much too sweet for the balsamic I was expecting) but I liked the variety of textures and combination of flavors! read more

We sat on the patio and enjoyed the sunshine. The tall trees outside the spot are cute to look at as well. We ordered half sandwiches and half side salad the pear berry one. And half garlic fries. We did the kitchen sink sandwich and the pork belly sandwich. Everything was so amazing! Highly recommend and would definitely visit again to try more items. read more

Follow me for a delicious, nutritious, appetizing and cozy dining experience. It is a real treat at Luca Bella, which is a small family-owned restaurant near the foothills of Glendora. I love and simply cannot resist bacon-wrapped dates, which were very delicious and satisfying. I wanted to try the Jalepeno chicken sandwich for lunch, but decided on the Short-rib grilled cheese instead (I can appreciate the time and effort that goes into slow-cooked Short ribs). They did not disappoint, the sourdough bread was toasted and filled with a generous portion of meat, topped with Pico de Gallo, Cheddar Cheese and Chipotle dressing. Even though I had the half-sandwich, with fries (or your choice of soup or salad), there was enough food leftover for a second meal. They do serve beer and wine, but no hard liquor. I love Daou winery and happy to see it on the menu. They are open Tuesday-Saturday for lunch and dinner, and for breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Plan on a visit to Glendora, arrive with an appetite and don't forget to tell 'em Rosemary sent ya! read more

I've been here several times and service is kinda a hit and miss. Has gotten a bit better though. Several times I've had to wait over 5 minute before anyone to came to my table to take a drink order. Food is decent, will miss this place. read more

This has been our favorite restaurant in Glendora since relocating to the area. I haven't been able to visit in the last few months and sadly found that it has closed after driving over this afternoon. What a loss this is for the local community. I do hope that they may find a solution to reopen elsewhere if the reviews are true. Great owner, staff and consistently excellent meals. Shame on the building owner if the true reason was cost of rent. read more

My friends and I had afternoon plants in Azusa so we decided to stop by LucaBella for brunch. It was a warm day and we sat outside on their patio under a huge umbrella. While service was initially a bit slow to get us seated (despite our reservation), after a short delay, we were all seated. Our waiter came out and took drink orders before bringing out water. Our group ordered a variety of foods including pancakes, French toast, brunch burger, and the fire roasted jalapeño chicken sandwich. Overall, Everyone was satisfied with their foods. I had the blueberry short stack with the the chicken sausage and eggs over easy. The pancakes were very fluffy but the blueberry syrup was the star. The eggs were well cooked and the sausage was decent but also tasted like something you could easily get at the supermarket. My friends commented that the French toast was nice and crispy, the brunch burger was smokey and runny (in a good way), and the sandwich had a good amount of spiciness. In addition to the breakfast food, we also split a flight of brunch beverages (some of the flavors were more successful than others). It was a good brunch and we were glad we checked it out. If you're ever passing through Glendora, you should check ori the brunch. read more

Great little place, we came here on a Saturday for brunch. We made reservations a few days before but like other reviews mentioned, it really wasn't needed as there were plenty of tables. We brought our dog and the restaurant was happy to allow her on the outside seating. The servers were all nice and helpful. Food was good, we got the El rancho and the fire roasted jalapeño chicken sandwich without the jalapeños. Portions were big; I thought the El Rancho needed a bit more salt but overall good. The restaurant is near a lot of local, small shops so there's things to do after you eat. read more

I discovered Luca Bella late, unfortunately. They instantly became my favorite restaurant. I hope they can find a new location and reopen soon. read more

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. the host is rude and ask me if I like a menu because I am just sitting down and I said yes, and came back with a menu and told me that I cannot have a outside food it was just a soda. I'm diabetic and I really needed a sugar. He should've told me from the beginning I sat down and not wait till the second time around to grab a menu and tell me that I can't sit here and my manager will be coming out here and talk to you. How unprofessional is that, you work there and you don't even know the rules. No customer service what so ever. I would not recommended anyone coming here. And then harassed me and follow me into the hair salon next door to talk to me in front of other people. read more

The food was very good! Service was good, sort of a team approach. There's something about the decor and especially the lighting - that needs improvement. It's a big space, and whoever designed the layout did not understand how to create a comfortable space. And with the lighting being less than ideal, I believe this place has way bigger potential. Again, food was really great, and service good. They need a professional to come in and revamp the inside of the restaurant, it would increase their business. read more

The food is really good... the Pork Belly sandwich, LB omelet are very satisfying. The garlic fries and soup will not disappoint you. The only thing though is the length of time for the food to come one. Service is also top of the rating. Brianna served us, and she was very accommodating in our request. She made sure we had all we needed during our lunch. I hope they can improve the turnaround for the orders to come our read more

I brought my stunning, busty Fiancée here for our Thursday night pre-pork dinner. We had the cheese taster and the short rib Ragu, it did NOT disappoint. The food was incredible and just the right size. We actually shared a portion because of our plans for the evening. Best not to get too full before a workout. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a date night or just wanting to treat yourself before some self care and a good sleep. Thanks Lucabella for adding to our great night! read more

So sad they have to move or close this month 2/20206. I will be missed by many. The food is always amazing!

Strolling through old town Glendora, we unexpectedly found this spot for lunch. - Three cheese chicken pasta was very cheesy and delicious! - Avocado toast stood out from what we usually had at other places with a complex flavor profile, comes with arugula and an over-easy egg. - Garlic and Parmesan Cheese is our fav! - Sangria, sweet and fruity, complemented the dishes very well. This place surprised us, great food and service! read more

First went to LucaBella at its previous location, near Ace Hardware. We mostly picked up food for our company lunches but would occasionally eat in. It was always so good and everyone our our lunch guests would compliment the items we brought in. When they moved to the Glendora Village, which was years ago, we were excited for their growth, as we're so many in Glendora and beyond. We frequent LucaBella for... - lunch meeting orders for work - brunch with my wife and friends - date nights out In every case, we love the food and excellent service. It's always consistent and it's always great! Every client comments how much they enjoy our lunch. Every friend we bring as a guest has loved it. And, my wife and I continue to call it a favorite local place. But, when I say local, I don't mean subpar in anyway. LucaBella elevates dining out in our 'small town'. Pictured here is the steak and potatoes served at brunch. It was incredibly good! We also love the pork belly hash brunch dish. For lunch, my faves are typically the Steak Salad or the Med Salad w/ chicken. But, you really can't go wrong with any item on the menu at LucaBella. Plus, for date nights, we enjoy having a drink or wine with dinner as well. The atmosphere is wonderful both inside and out. We enjoy the street side seating for morning brunches and inside for dinners. Def one to add to your list/s - for brunch, lunch, and dinner! read more
