Description

There’s something about Luca that makes it feel like a proper grown-up restaurant, largely because the relaxed clientele just know they’re going to be well looked after. What brings them all here is the expertly rendered Italian food, which is satisfyingly robust yet effortlessly easy to eat. The pasta course will certainly be a highlight – whether that’s cappelletti of salt-baked potato or tortelli of pumpkin with ricotta – but the other dishes, featuring such quality ingredients as Orkney scallops or Hereford beef, won’t ever disappoint. For great value, choose the Express Lunch menu served

Review summary

Luca holds an average rating of 3.9/5, with polarized feedback. Food quality is mixed; while some praise the authentic Italian cuisine and spectacular meat and seafood, others find the menu unremarkable or note issues with meal pacing. Service varies greatly, ranging from warm and attentive to dismissive and slow, with occasional errors like removing full glasses. The atmosphere features unique interiors and comfortable seating, though loud music detracts from the experience for some. Overall, Luca offers a distinctive setting but inconsistent service, making it suitable for diners who prioritize ambiance and specific dishes over flawless hospitality.
