If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset.

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.

This was our second time here and it was just as phenomenal. The team at Luca’s do a tremendous job of transporting diners to a beautiful island off Italy. The food is always a hit and the staff and waiters are extremely friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend!

As usual the food and the service was EXCELLENT! MATT took very good care of our table. I had two guests who both ordered the specials and said they were FANTASTIC. I mentioned to them you really cannot go wrong with anything on the menu or the specials. Everything is always delicious.

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.

This is a repeat restaurant. We dine here often and always enjoy ourselves. The food is delicious and the staff welcoming. We will just say it was an off night. Probably due to holiday. Won’t rule out for next time.

Honest review: bottled peach iced tea was phenomenal, Calamari good, bread yummy, chicken parmesan was phenomenal. My husband and I got a ny strip and it was cooked perfectly but definitely not worth $77 dollars. The potatoes that came with it were hard and dry. Canoli was not good at all. Overallsl decent experience. Next time, I'd Pass.

This restaurant has always put forth their best everytime I go there. The food is amazing and authentic. They use fresh vegetables and ingredients which you can tell by their presentation and taste. I was helped by server Damon and he explained everything well and made sure to cater to our needs as our party was vegetarian. Appetizers, entrees, and drinks came out at the perfect time which truly allowed us to enjoy our meal. Definitely recommend this place to anyone that is looking to go on dates with their significant other or just any celebratory event. Thank you so much Luca’s Ristorante. You guys never fail to amaze me.
