Top notch food and service. They care and it shows. If you are in Lancaster pa or plan to be, make a reservation.

My partner who just moved to PA took me here to dinner on my visit. They hadn’t been to the restaurant before but heard good things about it. We split a tomato/peach/cheese dish and the gnocchi on the current menu (pancetta/corn mixed in). The food was outstanding but our service got worse as the evening progressed, and it didn’t make sense since we went later in the evening and were one of the last tables seated in the restaurant. We didn’t see the server until after the food arrived when we placed the order, and the wait was not short for the food to arrive.

Loud, Loud, Loud. food was very mediocre. veal crepe was so salty we could not eat it. the gnocchi dish was not even warm, much less hot. it must have been sitting around before they served it. won't be going back.

Love this restaurant! Everything was delicious, top to bottom. The pasta was delicate and lovely. The focaccia was fantastic - can recommend the burrata. We tried a wide variety on the menu and found everything delicious. The interior is a pleasant space but can get quite noisy. The outside seating area is lovely and much quieter. This is a wonderful find in Lancaster!

We have enjoyed dining at Luca since they opened several years ago. The food has been consistent and has always been a treat. Recently, I had the Bronzino which was outstanding. This was the best meal ever at Luca. The fish was excellent, the vegetables were fresh, and the sauce was amazing. Well done Luca!! Thank you for a fun evening.

Was not impressed. The drinks were the best part--the Monte Mule was a well-balanced and interesting cocktail that I would order again. Everything else was meh. We ordered the squash blossoms and were served three flavorless, limp, tiny blossoms with two leaves of lettuce. The gnocchi with truffles no longer has visible truffle (despite past pictures). The focaccia bread isnt served with olive oil. Nor is it really focaccia. The service was also slow and subpar. In sum, this place is not worth the price.

We booked Luca for our rehearsal dinner for our wedding, and WOW, did they deliver! From the first interaction, they were quick to respond, professional, and had great attention to detail. They had great menu packages and ways for paying for the bar for different budgets. When we arrived, we had a private room, which was able to be closed off for more privacy. The room had great lighting and was well styled. The table was already set for 3 courses, drinks, and a set menu, which really elevated the dinner and impressed our guests!
We had a number of dietary restrictions and children, and they were able to accommodate these guests amazingly. Our server was extremely attentive and friendly! The courses were timed well.
All of the food that was served was delicious! We had selected a seasonal pasta, which was a surprise when we had it delivered to our table and was well received. The roasted chicken was well seasoned, and guests enjoyed the pairing together. We received nothing but compliments from our guests - even the children wanted to try the adult menu items! Our dinner was family style, and there was more than enough for everyone.
At the end of the night, we received a handwritten note and a container of a house made spice blend as a gift. This really shows how the team at Luca went above and beyond for our event. This kicked our wedding weekend off perfectly! Our guests are still talking about it, with many wanting to return and try the full menu.
I can’t thank Luca enough for such a great event!

What a perfect place to celebrate an anniversary! My partner and I recently visited Luca and had an absolutely incredible evening. From the moment we walked in, the friendly bartender made us feel so welcome, going above and beyond to ensure our night was special.
The food was nothing short of excellent. We were particularly impressed with the early summer menu features, which were fantastic and clearly highlighted the freshness of the season. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Luca was without a doubt one of the best restraint experiences I’ve ever had. From the staff to the food it was nothing less than exceptional. It was well worth the 2-1/2 hour drive and we will be back!!

The plating is fantastic and extremely intentional. True culinary art. The quality is incredible and I sincerely appreciate their emphasis on farm to table, seasonal cuisine. Angie, one of their servers, is the personable and kind. I’d come back just to have her quality service again. The chef came out to see how our meal was, which was a phenomenal touch. I can feel their passion and commitment to quality. I will be back.
