Nice local pizzeria…read more Was in the area and decided upon here for dinner. From the outside, it looks like a converted house - but most businesses in the area look the same. Inside was spacious enough to where they were having a birthday celebration in progress on one side, leaving all the tables for other patrons on the other side. The menu selection was decent, but I already had my mind set on garlic bread and the bacon chicken ranch pie - both since it has been a little while since I last had it and because I knew I'd be having the rest of it the next day for lunch. The pie was tasty - so tasty that I forgot to take the picture BEFORE I removed a slice. The garlic bread was okay - I've had better but I've also had worse. Garlic bread is often made differently at establishments and it's a taste and choice for preference. The rest of the pie I didn't finish taster just as good the next day when heated up. Really, if I ever go back I do plan to grab this one again. Staff was very nice. Waitress was friendly. I got to talking to one of the owners and it turns out they were from Brooklyn NY. So any doubt about the quality here should automatically be put to rest. Had I known about it previously, I'd have taken a regular slice too. Owners were friendly and welcoming. I've been in their old neighborhood, so we had a nice conversation about the general area. There is no lot, so parking is street. All in all a nice place and a good option for the area. Good for locals who want a more authentic choice for Italian food and of course pizza/ I'd easily return here if I'm in the general area again.

About 2 hours later I got a call from a staff member who asked more ?'s, and then actually called 2 more times for further clarification. First off the restaurant is lovely! The staff is professional & extremely welcoming. The restaurant is beautiful & charming. They even have a copper pizza oven!! The Chef's wife makes a fresh sourdough bread that is delicious even without the fresh olive oil they normally they serve with it! We started with salads which were delicious & very fresh & crisp!! The chef had prepared us a special meal of fresh vegetables with a light wine sauce with spaghetti. Truly outstanding! We shared a lovely coconut sorbet that was a perfect way to end this amazing dinner! Thank you so much for making my birthday dinner extra special. Should you find yourself in the area you should definitely call for a reservation.

Isaiah, your generosity and hospitality made the night memorable, along with your knowledge and expertise... The "My Chareau-da" (clever) was perfection. And to end the meal with the absolutely perfect sip, Dopo Teatro Vermouth Amaro, made it an extra special ending to our anniversary dinner. Chef and team: How could I forget to mention the food?! The Burrata small plate got us started (so good... we wanted to lick the pesto right off the plate), followed by The Luca Chicken (tasty, though you have to work a bit to get every bit of juicy meat off the bone) and Hanger Steak (medium rare, thank you... perfect), followed by an affogato (so smooth) and the delicious dessert you see in the photo (can't remember what it was called, but they boasted about the Lancaster strawberries). Great from start to finish! Worth noting: We felt GREAT afterward and the next day, a true test of good, real food. No bloating, etc. Last note: It can get loud, but it wasn't over the top. This is the sign of people having a good time!

Luca is definitely a restaurant I would encourage to visit, especially during the summertime. The…read moreplace is pretty spacious and also a cute place that has patio, bar, general seating and an upstairs seating. When the weather is nice they can open up sliding garage type door. The dinner menu is pretty straight forward with small plates, pasta, and wood burning oven dishes. I've been there twice, the first time I tried the BRANZINO that is wood-grilled and roasted, butter sauce, Arbequina olive 'condita' with soft herbs, baby fennel, garlic mustards, earl's spinach. I thought it was a 3 star dish because it was tough with some of the extra bones. The second time I went with the pasta TAGLIATELLE BOLOGNESE hand cut tagliatelle, classic ragù bolognese, grana padano cheese. For sure a 5 star dish. Both times they had a good wine list to choose from. Service was prompt and friendly that made the experience more enjoyable. Luca is definitely a place to visit and I would come back again.

We were here this past weekend. We got there early, absolutely desolate. Absolutely nobody was in…read morethere that we could see. We ordered our drinks and our food. You would think a restaurant would bring the appetizers out first but no that's not what happened they brought the appetizers with the main meal. That was ridiculous and should never have happened. They were not busy whatsoever. Our waitress was also not very good, again no one in there at all that we saw. She seemed more annoyed with having to wait on us. Very disappointed. My sandwich was great. Calamari was just ok! Not horrible just ok. Boneless wings were not good at all, hard and lacked sauce. Cheese steak that my other half order was strange more like chopped burger than steak! Disappointing visit will be quite a while before we return!!!

This was our first visit, and we were surprised by how busy the place was on a Thursday night. The…read moresignage refers to essentially 3 different kinds of restaurants: a dining room, a pizzeria, and a takeout counter. We were in more of a dining room mood but we weren't asked for our opinion and were taken to a high 2-person table in what we assumed was the pizzeria. I have a temperamental back, so these chairs were not going to work for me, so we asked to be relocated to a nicer table. We were shown to another table right away. Both the dining room and pizzeria were nearly full, and hopping with energy! Our expectations were high! Any restaurant that serves Guinness beer on tap earns a bonus star from me! Unfortunately, the flavor was a little off and I get the impression that not too many customers drink the Guinness. It struck me as beer that was a little past its expiration date. Thankfully our food was very good. Everything had a distinctive and agreeable flavor. Even the bread and olive oil had us cutting extra slices. I ordered the quattro formatti pizza and added bacon. It was as unique and tasty as it sounds. If you look closely at the picture you'll see that someone took a bite before I had a chance to photograph it. But apart from that, notice all the different colors and textures, which made for a nice, lively pizza. In the other photo you can see the chicken parmigiana, which they agreed to substitute Alfredo sauce instead of marinara. That was a delicious dish as well! We ended up way too full for dessert!! It's too bad because there were lots of interesting options to choose from. If we ever find ourselves in Mount Joy again we'll surely consider coming here again. The only thing that left a bad taste was the old-tasting beer.

Marco's is head and shoulders above an unusual glut of local pizza options in a small river town…read morelike Marietta, PA. Their pizza has a good crust -- thin enough to fold and eat, but with a good flavor as well. (Sicilian style also is available if you prefer a thicker crust.) Like all good pizza, you don't need to hide this under a pile of toppings. Just the pizza, maybe just add pepporoni or mushrooms or whatever your favorite is. When I was new to Marietta, I tried all the local places and Marco's is #1 for pizza, and also #1 for having a full menu. Marco's also has a meatball sub that would make your Italian grandma blush. Order it with a layer of mozzerella on top and it comes out all toasted and crispy and tasting like childhood in NYC. The menu has other Italian staples like pasta and garlic bread, but it doesn't stop there. If you want some turkey with mashed potatoes and gravy, Marco's has it. Or for lunch, go for the burger special. It's all good, and served with a smile every time!
