About this business
Chef Frank Bonanno's Sicilian upbringing is evident in every aspect of this fashionable restaurant - from the menu to the decor. Named after his son, Luca D'Italia was voted best restaurant in western United States by Zagat. With pastel walls and numerous candles, it's a great pick for a romantic evening out. Savor dishes like Lobster Fra Diavola, Butternut Squash Agnolotti and Pappardelle Bolognese before moving on to Nutella Semi-Freddo or Caramelized Orange and Mascarpone Tart. When you're at the best, you can be assured ... read more

Just a so-so Italian Restaurant – The food was decent and the service was okay. The menu was just odd. The portions were tiny. The waiter we had was the most serious person i have ever met. I really have nothing bad to say but than again nothing really good to say about it either.
Top Italian restaurant in Denver – Okay, it use to be Barolo (still a good choice) but now our favorite Italian restaurant is Luca. This is where we take out of town company. You know the food is good when I recommend that people order the rabbit or the wild boar. Most won't make that choice, so I order it, we pass the plates around and everyone is drooling and eating all of mine! And don't get me started about the fusilli with wild mushrooms or the saltimbocca. Our first try here was during the first 5280 restaurant week. I... read more
I wanted to love it but... – My husband and I booked Luca for our 7th wedding anniversary. I am an Italian from the East Coast and read THIS was the place to get good Italian. I didn't care about the cost. I wanted to love it soooo bad. Well, it was just average. First, was the hostess. Our friend had to join us last minute, so I called ahead and asked if we could squeeze her in. They told us they weren't sure, but we could try it. Our friend arrived first, so the hostess said to her, "Dont you think its weird your eating wi... read more
By far best meal I've had in US – Butternut squash ravioli, crispy eggplant in tomato sauce, roasted beet salad, potato and parmesan encrusted fish, chocolate mousse, grapa...I'll never forget this meal. Lots of vegetarian options! Excellent wait staff. No problem parking. A meal at Luca is not cheap. If you want big portions, go to the Outback. If you really love good food, you won't feel ripped off. You'll recognize the fine ingredients in the food.
Sophisticated food lovers come for another sampling of hospitality and tasty Italian fare from the owners of Mizuna. – In Short Colorful walls and art create an upscale, urban feel. The place is packed on weekends and pleasantly busy during the week. The menu allows diners to have an authentic, multicourse Italian meal without overreaching. Seafood dishes accent the fish's subtle flavors with simple sauces and vegetables. Heavier possibilities include house-made fennel sausage and a tender, Tuscan-rubbed rib eye.

Great dinner – My fiance and I had one of the best meals of our lives here. We opted to do all of the courses, and they were all excellent. Our waiter was helpful and always there when we needed him, the hostess was sweet, and we just had a great time. The wine list was great, too. The experience reminded me of my time in Italy. Great place!
User review by nbird73 – Menu is excellent, service is prompt and knowledgable. The food is outstanding, every flavor was right on, and was well complimented by the wine our server suggested. The ambience is hip without a cheesy feel, and the place was packed, always a good sign. Overall this would have to rate as one of our favorites in town
Good But a bit Frantic – We had an excellent meal and wonderful service mainly from the front person/greeter, Yvetta who is AMAZING - we did not have a reservation so she sent us over to Mizuna (sister restaurant) around the corner to get a glass of wine while she worked something out. She remembered us from a visit MONTHS ago and could not have been more helpful. The butternut squah ravioli looked average but tasted phenomenal - just fantastic. And my Rabbit three ways lived up to its billing. Bread was wonderful as was the... read more
