Atmosphere, Food and Service were OUTSTANDING as usual!

Luca’s has been a favorite of ours for years. Every time we are back, we remark that they continually serve some of the most creative and delicious Italian food in NJ, and that’s saying a lot! Their focus on the cuisine of Ischia is unique and wonderful. Lots of great seafood and homemade pastas and other creative offerings. Our salads were so big we brought some home to have the next day, but so good and creative that that was worth the trip. A chicken entree was made very special be the amazing sauce work and my special lamb stuff (large) gnocchi were amazing! Dessert we had was simple but delicious gelato. This was a great way to celebrate our anniversary.

My husband and I had a wonderful dining experience from beginning to end! The staff were very friendly and extremely attentive! To start off, the complimentary bread was the best I’ve ever tasted and I’m a big bread lover who has frequents lot of upscale restaurants, so that’s saying a lot. The calamari for our appetizer was fresh and tasty. I had the crab and shrimp fettuccine that lacked enough sauce but still enjoyable. My husband had the filet mignon, which was out of this world. I’m not a big steak lover at all but next time I will be sure to order it for myself! It was served with a hot Himalayan salt block and their house steak sauce - just yummy! We had the chocolate cake for dessert and ordered to go their delicious chocolate cookies baked right out the oven! Drinks were also very good and the ambience I would describe as very classy vintage! We’ll be back for sure!

Frequent diner at Sophie’s. Escargot is the best, love that they bring extra delicious bread for dipping in garlic!
