I enjoyed the atmosphere of Italy in London! Lovely staff especially Lucy was a really warm hearted staff. She gave me a very special and sweet treat for welcoming me! Green pesto pasta was very fresh. Cheese sticks were very cheesy and light texture with softness. And they have a very kind and professional bartender too. Recommend to someone who want to enjoy fresh Italian cuisine. I’ll visit again! If I remember the wrong name of the staff gave me welcome treatment, I’m sorry!
Food was good, think the pasta was not as good as I hoped but not bad by any means. Scallops changed my life, I think of them every day and absolutely no notes on them. Vibe of the restaurant was welcoming, cool and fun. Service was less than desired for a Michelin star and for the price we paid. It wasn’t terrible, but felt like service you’d get from the local high street restaurant not a top rated London restaurant. Especially with an automatic 18% tip on the bill for mediocre service.
The food there is amazing but towards the salty side the atmosphere is relatively good towards the end of the night can be a little bit noisy. There are two dining parts one is close to the bar when it’s in the main area. I’d recommend the main area.Food: 4/5
Great choices and super good service. Attentive menus for different allergies and intolerances. Decor is super nice and understated. Scrumptious food and prices to matchFood: 5/5
I was there two times and I can say is an amazing Italian food in London. Detail-oriented, attentive staff, delicious food, deserts and wine list. I live it!Food: 5/5
Lovely restaurant! Delicious food, good service ! The food took a lot of time to get to our table but it was worth it and to be fair they gave us fair warning that it will take atleast 30 -45 minutes to get the food. We were out in the garden and it was a beautiful day !! Loved the rusty decor and would recommend anyone looking for some good italian to enjoy ! Check out photos of the food!
The spacious, soft inviting glow interior of Luca exudes stylish, subtle elegance that's far removed from stuffy formality — setting the backdrop for an enjoyable meal. It’s the kind of spot where you can linger over your food and conversation without feeling rushed. Service was on point, the staff knowledgeable and attentive without being overbearing, ensuring dishes arrived at an ideal pace with the exception of the bill. The evening began with a familiar opening act: bread and olive oil. The bread, still faintly warm from the oven, featured a crusty exterior and a pillowy interior, practically begging to be dipped into the olive oil. A simple combination to start. The parmesan fries were just delightful. Golden, crispy, and generously dusted with parmesan. They danced dangerously between churro and cheesy indulgence. A truly addictive starter. The monkfish crudo, however, was a misstep. The combination of flavors didn’t quite gel, and the monkfish's texture was slightly rubbery, lacking the succulence expected in a crudo. The salad of italian and british seasonal leaves was refreshingly simple yet satisfying, highlighted by fresh and high-quality greens. The rigatoni with pork sausage ragù was a bolder affair. The pasta was cooked al dente, though I did find the ragu to pasta ratio a bit off. Some strands of rigatoni were ragu-less, while others were swimming in it. Nevertheless, the ragù itself was flavorful with a precise balance of meat, tomato, and spice. Then came the off-menu truffle tagliolini cacio e pepe. The moment the waiter uttered "truffle," I was sold and I couldn’t resist. The pasta was cooked to perfection, the cacio rich and creamy, and the truffle shavings truly generous. It transported me straight to the upper echelon of the pasta world. While Luca offers many delights and is undoubtedly a destination for pasta lovers, it's not without a few minor hiccups. But when a dish hits the mark, it truly resonates- you just need to find them.
It was the second Michelin starred restaurant we tried. We went there for lunch, we were a party of 5 for the bar express menu. Keep in mind they only have tables for 4, so we split our reservation into a group of 3 and 2 of us stayed at the bar, the groups of 2 are always seated at the bar. But we kind of enjoyed this vibe. The drinks are very good and nicely presented. We paired a negroni and a spritz with the parmesan fries which are really interesting. We took the 3 course menu. The appetizer with the jersualem artichoke was to die for, an explosion of tastes left you speechless for a couple of seconds while you tried to figure out what is it exactly you ate. For the mains both of them were very nice, the 3 fishes came with a nice bouillabaisse, a bit almondy for my taste but still it paired nicely. The beef was really tasty and tender for a cut of beef that was not ribeye or fillet. The tiramisu was perfectly executed but the star of dessert was the Panna Cotta with rhubarb. Would gladly return here to try the full tasting menu
Had the spring surprise menu - overall, excellent food. Service was friendly but I wouldn’t say professional - numerous waiters would ask for our drinks order even thought we’d ordered, food taken away when wasn’t quite finished. Found the beef disappointing - had asked for medium done, came chewy and well done. Lovely ambience and vibe though.
We went there for lunch and opted for the bar express menu. Even though it was a Michelin starred restaurant, we went there without any expectation as we were opting for the more “quick and budget-friendly” lunch option. The quality of the food was superb considering the price of the 3-course meal £30. The fried Jerusalem artichoke dish was so flavourful and imo the best dish we had that day. The main was slightly underwhelming considering both the starters were great. Bavette steak was quick chewy but I would assume it’s due to the choice of cut as meat was cooked to the perfect medium rare temperature as seen in picture. Service was good - the staff were attentive. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience at Luca.
