    Was a birthday dinner. I had branzino and spouse had tagliatelle with shrimp and clams. Could have gotten 1/2 portion of the past but got full portion and took 1/2 home. Both were great. Started by splitting bib lettuce salad with cheese and raspberries. Each 1/2 of split was like having a whole salad. Surprised me with free dessert and hostess took picture and delivered to table in a little “frame” with a Happy Birthday note. Nice touch. Service good. Filleted fish table side. Drinks and wine good. Only downside is you pay 10+2 for valet parking since no place to park near the restaurant. Also, we wanted happy hour at bar but bar packed and a waiting list started. Happy hour all day on Sunday. Good crowd at restaurant and nice views

    The food is absolutely delicious here, always on point. Unfortunately, the restaurant only always one check for parties of 10 or larger. They do not allow checks to be split any which way.

    Everything was good, but not great. Dinner was for a birthday, which was included on our open table booking, and we saw many people with candles in their desserts, but no one said anything to us or asked the occasion. Service was leisurely, which was nice to not be rushed, but soon seemed to be too slow.

    Amber was our server, and she was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! She was attentive, and extremely courteous. You are to be complemented on having such a wonderful member of your staff. The food was incredible. Every member of my group was very pleased with their selections. I had the Saltimbocca, and my mouth is still rejoicing in the awesome flavors that were enjoyed. My ONLY complaint was with your phone system. We were running late, and I could not get anyone on the phone to advise of our delay as I was concerned that because we were late our table might have been given away. Outside of this, I will be recommending Luca's to anyone who might ask for a suggestion and when I return to Cleveland next, this will most definitely be on my list to come again.

    The food was delicious. However, the portions were VERY small and quite pricey. For example, 5 sacchetti for $18. 6 oz halibut with 2tbs broccoli and 2 tbs potatoes for $55. Glad there was a lot of bread to fill up on!

    I've been to Luca many times and have awesome service, food, and ambiance. Tonight I brought some friends with me and horrible service. This is the first time in 5 years that the service wasn't stellar. Our waitress didn't greet us for 5 minutes, the dropped off the menus and after 10 minutes we solicited another server and they brought us bread. After another 5 minutes we solicited another server about a drink order and then our server finally came and took our order. The rest of the night was the same. Great food and ambiance but poor service (just from this one server). Like I said, we have been to Luca over 20 times and have had phenomenal food, ambiance and service. Tonight was bad. The maitre de came over and we explained the poor service and he just said, sorry, and walked away. I didn't want them to give me anything but a sincere apology and inquire why I was not satisfied with the service. But he didn't care.

    Wonderful service with George. Celebrating a birthday and he made it special with a dessert and a photo of our friends. Food is some of the best in the city. Is there a way to keep the noise level down ? Otherwise everything was perfect

    Great food, portion size on the Sacchetti Al Tartufo Bianco could have been larger, my husband shared part of my cavatelli because there were only like 8 very tiny “pillows”. This was the meal version not the appetizer portion…this really could classify as appetizer. But out waiter Ken was fantastic, he was very knowledgeable of the menu and other recommendations. He was very accommodating and while we had to wait even after making a reservation, his service made up for the lack at the hostess counter. Small portions but great food otherwise, nice atmosphere as well but request to be seated inside as there is no view from the outside heated area.

    The whole experience was wonderful, it was my boyfriend's birthday and they surprised us with cake and a picture of us that they framed. The only thing that I could complain about was the heat in the patio area we were sitting in. It got so hot at points that we both became a bit uncomfortable. But it seemed the staff was aware and did their best to fix the situation.

    This was our second visit to this location and there were some lows and highs. First, the lows… Our seating location was terrible. It was at the doorway between the main dining room and the “patio”, so there was a constant traffic flow. I was bumped a number of times by servers as they passed by and there was a significantly high noise level due to the traffic congestion at the doorway. It was very frustrating to say the least. The second issue was that the server assigned to our table never engaged with us. We waited a while until the server who was taking care of the adjacent table, John, stepped in for the missing server. From that point on, (with the exception of the table location), our experience was great. Despite being very busy, John took very good care of us. He handled our orders for drinks, appetizers, the the main course very well and offered helpful suggestions at each step. John’s recommendations for our main course turned out to be excellent. My wife had scallops and I had halibut, both were specials, and they along with the sides were prepared perfectly. Everything was delicious! We finished the meal off with a shared tiramisu and coffee which were also very good. Despite the seating issue and the initial delay in service, this experience at Luca finished very well. We highly recommend it but suggest requesting a table away from the high-traffic areas.
