Great italian restaurant. I visited by chance because some other restaurant I was planning to go had 2 hour waitlist, but honestly I’m so glad I found this place. Everything we ordered including the dessert at the end were great, service was very attentive and friendly. Will come back again!
As a local of Carmel, I’ve been fortunate to enjoy Luca since childhood. The service, ambiance, and food here are truly unparalleled. I typically visit once a week with my boyfriend or friends, and we never miss the salumi board, margherita pizza, carbonara, and the bistecca (or one of the fantastic steak specials)! Chef and owner Jason Balestieri is not only an extraordinary chef but also an incredible person who leads a remarkable team. Luca is truly a gem in our community.
I recently dined at Cantinetta Luca, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of cozy and upscale. The wood-fired pizzas were exceptional! Crispy crust with fresh, flavorful toppings. Their pasta dishes are equally impressive, perfectly cooked and full of rich, authentic Italian flavors. The entire dining experience was top-notch, from the friendly service to the charming atmosphere. Whether you’re looking...
