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.

    Always love this place. Cool ambience though it can be noisy. Love the ricotta and pine nuts. Yummy! Had the tuna appetizer on brunch menu but it needed something to enhance the texture profile- was mushy and needed crackers or some crunch. Flavor was good but the appearance and delivery were lackluster. Had delicious chocolate dessert and tiramisu. Will return for dinner soon!

    The food and atmosphere was amazing as always!!! Unfortunately, this time going in with a reservation, the hostess/lady seating people was extremely rude. I tried to lighten the mood a bit, but she was just incredibly unpleasant. To be honest, if I hadn't been in before, I probably would have walked out due to her off-putting & cold attitude and demeanor (red hair w/ glasses). Hopefully this will be addressed considering the hostess is your very first impression of the service/experience to expect. We also received our salads, apps and entrees all at the same time which was also very disappointing and easily preventable. This is not normal though and our waitress was really great! The food was absolutely delicious!!! I would highly recommend as I've been in many many times and normally every aspect is top notch!

    We celebrated my birthday at Tavernetta and it was delicious. We started with focaccia (good), Capesante scallops (very good), and Argumi citrus salad (good). Next was the seasonal pasta al forno, Semolina cakes with mushroom ragu (very good), and the radiatore boar and black trumpet pasta (amazing!). Then the Rohan duck was also incredible and finished with tiramisu and some sorbet (both were absolutely wonderful). The ambiance and service were excellent and all of the food was fabulous and unique. We had a nice chianti to go with dinner as well. I would definitely return for a special occasion (and go out of the way to have the radiatore and the duck again).

    We had never visited this particular bar in the Hotel Clayton, and we really liked it overall. It offers an excellent selection of well-curated wines and crafted cocktails along with delicious bites to accompany. We ordered the buffalo mozzarella, marinated olives, and focaccia bread, all of which were delicious. Our server was very good - attentive but not intrusive. The place filled up between 5:30PM-7:30PM and offers quite the hot spot for the young and attractive crowd. We loved the decor, and the ambiance was great. The only minor thing had to do with the volume - it got quite loud in there. Since they open at 3PM, I think next time we'll go a bit earlier for a Spring afternoon drink on the patio. Great find. We will be back.

    The food was great. We both did the 4 course option and we could not be happier. Our server, CJ, was incredible. He explained the history and culture of the restaurant, spoke on where all the ingredients came from, how the textures and flavors blended, and gave great recommendations for wines based on what we were eating and what profiles we were in the mood for in our wine. Highly recommend.
