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.

    Business lunch and great experience! Visited before with my family of 6. Every time service is top-tier, tastes are excellent in every dish we had. I’m fan of seafood they have, seabass and scallops are fantastic. I also love to have pasta al forno and lasagna here. At last visit I could try new dishes from Chef like salad with octopus and new salmon recipe. My wife loves pastas, especially alfredo with chicken, sauce is light and portion is pretty large. Kids get crazy about pizzas - supreme is their favorite. My parents come to try their wines often, new collection is the best they told they tried, Chianti reserva is a heaven gift. Very good and even better with new visit, large selection for all ages and budget. I’m a happy customer and love to spread the word. New owners, great job, please continue your hard work!

    Unique blend of local-meets-city and a terrific location. The staff is friendly and food is better than you would expect from such a small kitchen. Bar Red is the perfect location for parking nearby and walking to Bellco Theater.
