Had an amazing experience at Cantinetta Luca! The food was absolutely divine – every dish was bursting with authentic Italian flavors. The environment was so vibey, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made the whole meal feel extra special. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
The Bolognese was delicious!! The pasta was slightly more al dente than I prefer, but it didn't detract too much from the dish. The berry tart dessert special was amazingly good. My Coke was flat, but they quickly fixed the machine and brought another one. Unfortunately, they never came back to refill my small $5 Coke until it was time to order dessert. Highly recommend.
The carbonara and bolangnese pasta were underdone and lacked flavor. Neither crushed black pepper nor chili flakes were offered. The expensive seafood pasta dish had 4 small clams, and looked dull. The housemade salumi platter was small but exhibited great quality. Service was excellent; wine list average. If I do return, which is unlikely, I'll stick with the pizza selection.
