What User likes about Luca:
The food was incredibly delicious. We could not sit outside so the ambiance left much to be desired.

Ambiance is outstanding. We loved dining in the courtyard- it felt magical. The service was excellent and food was inventive and very good. Try the octopus!

Ambience is amazing, food was good, hostess and waitresses were absolutely clueless and had no idea what they were doing...

Luca offers a charming ambiance and delightful staff, but service can be hit or miss. While some visitors praise the lovely servers, others express disappointment in long wait times and lack of attention from the staff. The food receives mixed reviews: although some dishes are described as delicious and creative, others fall short in terms of portion size or menu choices. Overall, Luca has a lovely aesthetic and satisfying cuisine, with standout dishes like Brussels sprouts and risotto. However, inconsistent service experiences may deter some patrons from returning.

The decor is stunning both inside and outside, however the inside seating for the restaurant is a little awkward because it is literally the lobby. The staff is...
