Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

This restaurant is excellent. The lobster pasta is by far the best I've had in denver. The carpaccio is made well, very fresh. This dish is simple, however it's basically impossible to find people who can execute it correctly. The service is 100%. The host was incredible. Once again they have given an exceptional experience. It's worth the money. I will be going back soon.

It’s like a little slice of Italy right here in Denver. Fun place to eat and the service is the best. The lamb shank is delicious and enough for two people.

Another awesome night at the Barolo Grill! My wife and split 3 dishes (Antipasti, Primi and Secondi) and all were great. They are very accommodating to Gluten free, and the Gluten Free pasta was nice! Barolo Grill is a great spot for a special occasion or a treat!

This place is outstanding. Crowded but not overwhelming. Menu is limited, in a good way. The restaurant presents a number of simple and complex options, and everything tastes as fresh as can possibly be. We started with dressed oysters, then a kale salad - both dishes perfectly prepared. Then lobster pasta, and salmon, again extremely fresh. The complimentary table rolls are also nostalgically warm, buttery and seasoned with salt and garlic. I'd only been here for lunch, but definitely coming back for dinner soon!
