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

Epic every time – This place has quickly turned into a favorite for me. Unbelievably impressive menu and service. I have always been a fan of Mizuna'a and will from now on judge every Italian experience based on this place! If you're not willing to venture out and treat yourself to a fantastic dinner than you're missing out. I have and will always recommend Luca. Keep up the great work Frank!
I still have dreams about my meal at Luca. – What could be better? Absolutely amazing dishes (the gnocchi is a must). No Italian restaurant I have been to in Denver comes close.
Wow – Incredible combination of food, service and wine. Rabbit three ways is to die for. Talking with the staff and somellier added immensely to the overall experience. Highly recommended! Great date night.
Luca this Italian! – No spaghetti and meatballs at this place... instead you'll find exquisite, well presented dishes that will make your palate sing! We started with the Salumi, Calamari, and Duck Liver Ravioli. All were good but I can't say enough about the Ravioli. The balsamic reduction that covered them made this dish incredible! For entrees we tried the Duck Cacciatore, the Grilled Prawns, and the Rabbit Three Ways. Again, all were sensational but I would have the rabbit dish every day, if I could. The wine list featur... read more
Food you can't stop thinking about – From the moment the fusili touched my mouth, I was in heaven. The creamy buttery sauce was extraordinary: just enough to make you savour each bite, but not too much that it's overpowering the delicateness of the fusili itself. Since that dinner, I can't stop thinking about having another bite of that dish.
Incredible! – We use the Gabby Gourmet as a food Bible, and it rated Luca as a TO DIE FOR. Let me tell you, that rating did not do Luca justice. The service was amazing from the hostess and bartender, to the server and chef. The Salumi and vegies were great apps, but the tuna and the Veal en Corroza was out of this world. Best Italian food ever!
impressive – I had the calamari, bresaola, rabbit 3 ways, and the chocolate torte. Absolutely amazing- the freshness and ingredients illuminate the dishes. Waitstaff are attentive and educated in viticulture. Ask for a wine suggestion and get the saltimbocca since I didn't try it on my first visit.
amazing food – We've been going to Luca since the doors opened a year ago. The restaurant has a lively, inviting vibe; the service is flawless, and the food is consistently amazing. Ask for waiters Noel or Brandon and they'll perfectly pair your food and wine. The pastas, the breads, and even the meats are cured in-house--it's just one of those places where unexpected attention to detail abounds. --Especially good for several small courses and trading bites. We leave satiated every time.
Some of the best I've had – I was first introduced to Luca d'Italia while travelling from San Francisco to Denver on business. I was familiar with Mizuna, so naturally had high expectations for Luca. What can I say-they exceeded my expectations on all fronts. It is a nice, contemporary dining room that maintains a level of comfort, the service is professional without being stuffy, and the food is simply some of the best Italian food I've ever had...period. I will definitely stop at Luca d'Italia every time I come to town!
