Luca Cucina Italiana offers delicious, fresh, and well-prepared food in a friendly atmosphere with nice service. This hidden gem in West Berkeley brings a slice of Italy with its unmistakable flavors. Favorites include bruschetta, polenta, pesto with penne pasta, and spaghettini aglio e olio, all made with comfort food-style pasta cooked to a perfect al dente texture. The homemade pasta is the real deal, and the tortellini is absolutely bomb. The lasagna and chicken marsala are also popular choices, celebrated for being classic comfort food done right. While some inconsistency in flavor has been noted, it has been reported that the food is very good, and the restaurant remains a recommended spot for a satisfying Italian meal. The cozy, homey vibe and friendly service make it worth revisiting, although the garlic bread may be a bit saltier than some prefer. For those looking for vegetarian options, it is suggested to ask in advance.
