    The food was delicious. What impressed me the most was that their wine pour by the glass was huge, 7-8 oz. Almost no one does that anymore.

    My husband and I dined at Luca when visiting Cleveland for a getaway weekend. I can’t say enough good things about every item I put in my mouth. From the bread, tortellini, the beet salad, everything was SO SO good! Our server (I think he said his name was Charles) was so polite and never left us wanting for a single second. I’d go back in a second. Highly recommend!

    Luca is one of our favorites for a special occasion but we were disappointed this time. Most of the service was unfriendly and rude. Our waitress brought the wrong wine because she only half listened to me when I ordered (and repeated my order since I could tell she didn’t listen). The salad we ordered was also wrong but we just ate it anyway at that point. The pastas (gnocchi and tortellini) were good but the filet was tough and overcooked. I had to saw through it with my steak knife. It was my husband’s birthday so they did bring him free dessert at the end but then wrote “Happy Anniversary” on the picture they took of us. Mistakes happen and food doesn’t always come out perfect but for the price of this meal I’m not sure if we’ll be back. Especially not for the service we had.

    Food was delicious! Just wish you'd get a better portion for the price. For example my pasta dish was mostly sauce, salad was mostly greens. Drinks were pretty good too. We went for our anniversary, they treated us to a free tiramisu and even took a cute little picture of us as a souvenir. Overall it was a great experience and we'll be back again soon!

    This was our first time at Luca, the view from our seat was incredible and we thoroughly enjoyed our evening. My husband is a chef and he always appreciates others craft, our appetizers were amazing (salmon carpaccio and the calamari) his steak special was perfect and my halibut special also delicious. We shared a half order of pappardelle bolognese by recommendation of our server and that really hit the spot. As it was my husband’s birthday they treated us to a dessert and took our picture for a keepsake, elevated service. My only slight criticism was my sides (potatoes and green beans) with the halibut were the same as the steak and lacked character, thought the specials would have more care to detail when pairing the sides and main. Overall a great experience and will be back for another special occasion!

    The service is a bit "old school", but generally good. Food is always flavorful and well-crafted. Prices at Luca have always struck me as being a bit high for what's on the plate, but that's such a subjective opinion that it's not enough of a detractor.

    Luca was always our favorite restaurant in Cleveland. It seems to have slipped a bit. The salad was warm, Osso bucca presentation was sloppy. The veal for saltimbocca was too thick and tough. Should be better for the price.

    Felt very rushed by the manager at the bar, we ordered drinks and before they even arrived we were asked to settle our check. We waited 20 mins for 3 drinks. The restaurant attracts a different crowd now with younger people. It seems that everyone here has an attitude (the staff) ESPECIALLY the two valet boys out front.

    Had reservations for 6, staff would not seat us until the 6th person arrived. Our waiter Bob seemed to not be able to multi task, ignored us quit often. After hunting him down to take our order, he came to our table & said what would you guys like? Without even telling us about the specials like he did with the other tables. Food was not as good as it normally is when I dine here.

    The meat and sauce were like out of a can. The noodles were very gross. The bread was excellent but there was no bread knife that cut it so it was a bit messy. and the oil was good but a little spicy.

    IMHO. Luca's on the Superior Viaduct is the finest Italian restaurant in Greater Cleveland. The meals our party had were all marvelous. Our guests raved about the cuisine. Our waitress was charming, informative, quite knowledgeable about the menu, and, importantly, prompt.

    Always reliably excellent. Our server was great. We had a table of 9 and every order was delivered to the correct person as were the drinks. The valet, Claudio, was so kind and accommodating since we were dining and walking down the hill to a tennis match and then returning for a late night drink. Excellent food, excellent menu and excellent staff.
