If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset. Tucked away on Rt. 27 between Princeton and New Brunswick, Luca’s Somerset is an oasis of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Offering modern adaptations of traditional dishes from Ischia, here you can enjoy hand-cut ravioli stuffed with Chef Andrea’s latest mouth-watering combinations, a selection of fish entrees so fresh that they evoke the Mediterranean Sea, or a filet of such quality that it is paralleled only by the accoutrement that accompany it. Our dining room décor is uniquely Ischitana, and goes to show that here at Luca’s Somerset, we understand that the difference is in the details. When you are done with it all, take in the cozy setting with a delicious dessert made from scratch, and the perfect cup of locally micro-roasted espresso or cappuccino. So please, be our guest.

The food here is Amazing. The server Matt was excellent and very attentive. He engaged well too. The setting is Beautiful and all in all we had an excellent Anniversary of 35 years. The price with appetizer and cappuccino was $114. However you get what you pay for and we have dinner for tonight as the portions were excellent. I highly recommend Luca’s and I too am a former Restaurant owner. Thank you, Paulie

Luca's never disappoints!!! The food is fresh, delicious and their menu is fabulous. They are not an every day Italian place. They have traditional Italian selections as well more creative, unique entrees that you won't find anywhere else. The atmosphere is like being is a family restaurant in Ischia Italy, the staff is also super friendly. I highly recommend- I wish I lived a bit closer so I could dine here more often.

This is the first time we’ve been back in years, and it’s only gotten better. It was always good, but now even with the still-generous portions, the food was fresher, brighter, less heavy. Here’s what we had and enjoyed: the pear salad, which was perfect to share, the Jaclyn- broccoli rabe with sausage over orecchiette, the Genovese- short ribs with gnocchi, and the classic chicken parm. The only small disappointment was during dessert. The sorbet selection listed blood orange, which they were out of (and we had an early reservation), instead offering lemon or bubblegum (?!). Same with the gelato- of the three flavors listed, there was only one scoop left of one flavor. We weren’t charged for it, so that was nice. The rest of us ended up with the crème brûlée, and that was wonderful. We won’t wait so long to return. Be sure to make a reservation a week in advance for a Saturday table!

Appetizer bread ,Service, dinner. Ambience wonderful and excellent. My desert Canoli was uninspiring and tiny though. Crème brûlée and Tirimisu was ok not memorable. I will definitely go back but maybe pass on desert.

We love Luca’s, and we eat here often! It’s a hidden gem and feels like a little slice of Italy! The food is incredible, and we have had just about everything on the menu! The pasta is homemade and the seafood (we love the branzino and the salmon) is extremely fresh and delicious! The meatball appetizer, chicken Parmesan and the gnocchi with braised beef and the scallops are soooo good! I also recommend ordering whatever the specials are, as they’re always amazing. Yesterday was my birthday and the staff made my experience extra special, even putting a sparkler on my dessert (you must try the Pompeii and gelato!) Also, a special shout out to Luca for making us feel like VIP at every visit!

The restaurant does what few others do. The ingredients are always fresh and of top quality and excellently prepared. When you meet Luca, you can see his proud Ischian heritage and passion for making the restaurant the very best. The Otto appetizer is amazing, It is difficult to make a good pulpo, but that is not an issue here. The tiramisu was also light and tasty. This was our second time and everything is always consistent. If it doesn't sacrifice quality, it would be nice to see a few more menu options to try different things when you return.

Luca’s Ristorante has become one of my absolute favorite dining locations throughout the years, the food consistently surpasses expectations in both flavor and presentation. The guests couldn’t stop praising the exquisite cuisine, and Luca, along with his exceptional team, went above and beyond to ensure every detail was perfect. Also BYOB. I highly recommend Luca’s.
