    I'll make this quick--everything here is outstanding. From the moment you walk in, you're treated like family. It's the kind of place that if for some reason you wanted something that wasn't on the menu, they'd probably make it for you, no problem. Family-owned and operated, BYOB, and really good food in a relaxed atmosphere; there is nothing to not like about Cafe Venezia.

    When we walked into Luka’s, they immediately seated us and even gave us menus to look at without feeling rushed. The cocktail selection was really cool; the drinks were delicious and looked great. The appetizers were all tasty. The maple-crusted bacon was thick and delicious, the beet salad was refreshing, and the Italian Wedding soup was well seasoned and comforting. The steaks were perfectly seasoned and cooked to our liking. We ordered two fish dishes and they were both cooked to perfection. The desserts were also delicious. The cheesecake was creamy and rich, the banana Foster was warm and gooey, and the bread pudding was warm and comforting. We’ll definitely be back to Luka’s! The only negative comment I have is Luka’s should review their online menu and update their pricing. The online pricing was a bit cheaper than the menus provided in the restaurant.
