Food was delicious! My bolognese was perfectly portioned. We made a reservation and we’re seated on arrival. This is a big space and they use it well. There are a few different seating areas that could suit the ambiance you’re looking for. We had great service and the drinks were strong! For two people we had an appetizer, two cocktails, two entrees and dessert drinks for around $100. It’s a smaller menu, but you’ll still have trouble picking out what you want since everything sounds so tasty. Definitely a great place for a date night or special occasion.

My favorite restaurant in Lancaster. I dine here a few times a month and love it. They specialize in seasonal wood fired cooking. Everything is always fresh and the menu rotates regularly. Reservations are not easy as this is a very popular restaurant. You can try to walk in or call ahead and may be able to get bar seating. They no longer serve pizza here as they opened a sister restaurant LUCA Pizza, but the pizza is not the same as it was. Nathan and his team are very talented chefs.

100% recommend dinning here! The food is like a party for your taste buds. Fresh ingredients and definitely every singer flavor belongs in every dish. 15/10 recommend.

Luca doesn't miss! Been here a handful of times - reservations definitely required - and the food is always top notch. Drinks are incredibly tasty, and I like that they have aperitifs if you're in the mood for something lighter. Even when it's busy, the service is always great, and food comes out quick.

Great Italian restaurant in the city with wonderful cocktails, small plates and entrees. They used to have a sizable pizza menu made in their wood fired oven but that operation is now run out of their Luca Pizzeria location (sans the wood fired oven) on Harrisburg Pike. We ordered the Wagyu Carpaccio as a starter, which was divine. My husband decided on the Wild Boar Lasagna and I had the seared Halibut. For dessert we shared the Butterscotch Budino. Overall, one of the better meals in Lancaster, but reservations are required (yes, even for bar seating).

We went on a Sunday evening it was very busy. The tables are jammed into this place to maximize space so you are surrounded by lots of ongoing conversations next to you. Our server was prompt and knowledgeable and very pleasant. I got the skirt steak it was good, very tender cooked perfectly but the plating was a bit sloppy made it less appealing. Terrific all natural and organic wine menu. Overall I give it 4 stars

I had the most amazing dining experience of my life at Luca! My son took me out for Mother’s Day and what a special gift this restaurant is to Lancaster County!! Please dine here today! Every single dish was so delicious and perfection! The service was better than The London in NYC! Thank you to everyone for such a great time! I will Continue to recommend to everyone I meet!!

Came here on a weekday to find the place packed for dinner. Everything was AWESOME! We had the focaccia and bursts appetizer which was incredibly delish. Definitely enough to share with four people (or two very hungry adults). I had the bolognese and my girlfriend had the pizza which was DELISH! Cocktails were also really good.

Luca is absolutely incredible, for sure the best food in the area! We were lucky enough to be able to have our rehearsal dinner at Luca and we could not have been more thankful. They created a family style pre fixe meal which was absolutely delicious. The service was also incredible, always available for anything we needed. I could not recommend Luca more highly for an event or just for a nice meal with friends or family.

Delicious food and drinks. Definitely try the beef carpaccio. I also like the amaro flight but it's not for everyone. The food and drinks are fairly upscale and pricy, and the portions are on the smaller side, but everything is delicious. Definitely worth it if you know what to expect.

The best pizza and flavors to come out of a wood fired oven. Dough/ crust was incredible. Every wait staff was friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Sat at the chef’s counter and enjoyed seeing them in action. Very professional. Order a couple a pizzas and still be able to enjoy their no traditional spin on gourmet Italian dishes. From drinks to dessert absolutely delicious. Perfect sized menu, a select amount of choices done right. Definitely coming back and bringing friends.

Perfect date night spot, but be sure to make your reservations well in advance. No visible TVs, cool atmosphere, excellent food and service, and yeah, it’s a bit pricey, but it’s fun for a special occasion when you feel like being a little spendy. Not stuffy at all, but still feels a little fancy.

Absolutely wonderfully delicious food and service and atmosphere. The food quality is phenomenal and pretty much everything is locally sourced. The heirloom tomatoes with burrata and focaccia was my favorite dish but everything was so good. Our sweet waitress even gave us a onesie for our little one on the way. I cannot wait to go back again. We had a wonderful experience!

Very good food & excellent service! It was my first time, though I’d always heard great things about the restaurant. It lives up to the positive talk it gets and it deserves it, too. Would recommend definitely. Tastes like good, authentic Italian recipes. Staff is very accommodating. Prices for what you get are not bad, but it is more expensive. Make a reservation, it fills ip quick! Parking to the side of the building - take advantage of that. Atmosphere is very nice, homey even. Come by for a lovely evening!

Incredible experience. The staff are all wonderful and the service is top notch. We each got pasta dishes based on the recommendation of our waitress and we were not disappointed. I got the gnocchi and it was so delicious. You won't be disappointed.

Best restaurant in Lancaster! Warm, welcoming staff 100% of the time! Get a seat at the bar - wonderful hospitality! The food is like being in Italy! This is not a pizzeria place! This is fine dining around the staple of pizza. It is a beautiful dining room that reflects the culture of the place - airy, open, fun and innovative. It is a gem!
