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 journey began in defense of the maker, those that bring to light from darkness, an idea. Our inspiration comes from memory, of travels we’ve taken - it is the thread that helps us bind our creation. Wolf’s is the laboratory where inspiration turns to creation, creation is stitched into a form that when examined takes guests on the creators' journey of exploration. But the quest to create comes not for the supplication of an audience, but for the continual introspective pursuit of pushing the boundaries of what we know as possible.

    My experience at Luca has changed the course of history, bent the fabric of space and time, and shifted the paradigm in my favor. After a meal here, I am reminded of life’s beauty and pleasure. The burrata and prosciutto added genomes to my DNA and I am now superior in all aspects of life and the beyond. The Saint Pair cocktail gave me the heavenly visions. The pappardelle bolognese linked my consciousness with the infinite knowledge of all things. 10/10 would return

    We enjoyed a wonderful meal there. Each course was better than the last! Might not have ordered the halibut or the sirloin and instead paid more attention to the smaller bites. The sauces were amazing, the guacamole out of this world! Highly highly recommend! Service was impeccable, friendly, informative, fun. I’m picky about my margaritas and there’s were amazing! We also tried the avocado. Margarita, delicious!

    Mondays because of the special can be vibrant and loud. Food can also come out not too hot, but the volume of business makes that acceptable. Jonathan is the most informed, profession and friendly server you could ask for. This is a must visit!

    I am Mexican, from Jalisco and Michoacán. 100% de Agave has a wonderful menu that satisfies both the Tex-Mex, Mexican American fans, alongside those of us who prefer a menu that reminds of us our mama’s home cooking. Top notch happy hour and service, plus an under-rated brunch.
