One waitress for 10 tables, cannot order wine as they lost their license ! 5 of us and bread that came out was enough for maybe 2 people. Chicken Picata consisted of 4 tiny tough crispy edged pieces...weird....and their Alfredo sauce was a joke, kinda runny chicken broth mostly. One of the worst dinners we have had in a long time. Would we go back NO !!!!

The most amazing Carbonara. Easily the best I have had, and that is saying something.

Small neighborhood Italian restaurant. Great place for excellent food in an intimate space.

Hello? Foursquare? Anyway, they have garlic on the wall. It's a classy joint

High on delicious carbs, very low on protein. The food is tasty, but doesn’t offer a decent amount of any protein ordered. Yet, they charge for any protein. Overall, I recommend ordering the tiramisu if you haven’t had a chance to try it.

Luca is my first choice for a delicious Italian dinner in Berkeley. Plus, they make the BEST cappuccino!
I had the insalata mista and the chicken picata with roasted potatoes and kale. The food was delicious, the servers were friendly and helpful, and I really liked the ambience -- authentic without being pretentious. Overall, excellent.

We ran out of the restaurant because we had a tired toddler about to cry and I don’t like disrupting customers, but we took our food to go. I made two stops yet when I got home our pasta was still al dente and warm, my lobster ravioli was decadent. My children devoured the pappardelle alla bolognese and my toddler adored the butter noodles ❤️ the service was great, I was a momma struggling and they were kind and patient. Thank you ?
