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.

    This was the best dining experience in Denver so far after 2 years and visiting all of Denver’s Michelin restaurants. The service created such a personal experience and did an excellent job of providing accurate descriptions and great recommendations. Every dish we tried was superb and the wine pairings were excellent.

    Excellent food, fun service, great atmosphere. I had the fresh oysters which were perfectly cold and salty, followed by the cacio e pepe with shaved black truffles. I would eat everything again.
