Luca's cuisine consists of pasta and bread - made fresh daily. They always use the freshest local ingredients in keeping with Italian tradition of following the rhythm of the seasons. The daily features are chosen from what is delivered fresh each morning.
Some of the wines are from small certified organic family producers that use sustainable growing practices, no herbicides, pesticides, fungicides or insecticides, and minimal filtration. Those wines are hand picked by Ernest, an Italian Master Sommelier, some specifically for Luca. It is an Italian wine experience like no other.
