About this restaurant

  • Charming
  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem
If you are seeking not just a great meal, but a great dining experience, you need look no further than Luca’s Ristorante Somerset. Tucked away on Rt. 27 between Princeton and New Brunswick, Luca’s Somerset is an oasis of authentic regional Italian cuisine. Offering modern adaptations of traditional dishes from Ischia, here you can enjoy hand-cut ravioli stuffed with Chef Andrea’s latest mouth-watering combinations, a selection of fish entrees so fresh that they evoke the Mediterranean Sea, or a filet of such quality that it is paralleled only by the accoutrement that accompany it. Our dining room décor is uniquely Ischitana, and goes to show that here at Luca’s Somerset, we understand that the difference is in the details. When you are done with it all, take in the cozy setting with a delicious dessert made from scratch, and the perfect cup of locally micro-roasted espresso or cappuccino. So please, be our guest.

    I like everything about Luca's restaurant. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you're in a family atmosphere. The waiters are professional and very friendly. The food prices are worth it.

    I love this restaurant even though the prices can be a bit steep for some items at times but you do not mind the high prices when the food is exceptional. The ambiance is nothing special so the food and service is expected o be over the top. But, my meal from last night came out at room temperature which was very dissapointing and unacceptable when you are paying $52 for a Pasta Dish Special. There was only 1 server working last night but he obviously needed some assistance since our plates must have been sitting for a while before it was served to our table. I should have sent our food back but it was already 9PM and I didn't want to wait any longer since it was so late at night. Lesson learned...

    Matt and Kevin were great. Got to watch in the back as the chef made a batch of fresh pasta. Food was more than enough.

    Love the flavors here, always unique! I had the Valentino — the pesto was just the right amount of cream and the cavatelli was cooked perfectly. My brother had the cinquanta — I had a bite and the Marsala sauce was heavenly. We finished off with the Pompei dessert which came out piping hot and paired with gelato — ended the dinner perfectly.
