Reviews for Luca's Ristorante in Somerset, NJ
Inventive, fun, cozy little Italian spot. The food was super good, along with the bread. They have wines available, but I had a... Peaches & Cream Italian Soda that was fantastic. Read more
I drive 1.5 hrs to get here and it's on my list every time I'm in town. They NEVER disappoint. I go in thinking I'm going to... order something different but the short rib, it's unbelievable good. I always get it. My son had the Lucas, WOW what anamazing taste. By the way, those scallops will give you goosebumps how good they are. If you live in the tri state area. Takethe ride, I guarantee you, you will be happy. Read more
Really good authentic Italian restaurant. The food & wine selection has variety and the ambience has a very rustic italian feel.... New favourite of ours. Read more
Hosted a bridal shower at Luca's. It was the perfect space. We were a small group of 16. They were great to work with. Luca... called me personally to ensure I was happy with the agreement. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect for the "Goingfrom Ms. To Mrs." travel theme. Read more
It's been .more than a decade since the last time we dined at Luca's. I would venture to say it may be another decade before we... dine there again. Not much has changed in the 10 year hiatus... the decor, etc. Is the same and its still a BYOB even thoughthey now sell Hopewell Vineyard wines if you forgot. What certainly has changed are the prices. Appetizers are $10-$20 andentrees push $50. Pastas run around $30. We thoroughly enjoyed the bruschetta but found the eggplant unappetizing with toolittle eggplant and way too much ricotta. The poached pear salad was very good with a nice vinaigrette... certainly enough fortwo. Our entrees were disappointing. The chicken parm was tasteless and the red sauce was completely non-discript. Luca'sfrowns upon pasta substitutions so the rigatoni was cold by the time it got to the table. The chicken Bianca was likewiseuninspired. Yes they are two of the more inexpensive meals on the menu but that does not mean you can just phone it in. We didnot try the desserts which range in the $10-12 range. It should be noted that Luca's charges a 3.5% fee for using a creditcard. More and more restaurants are doing this and I think it's a terrible trend. Bring cash or try your debit card whichsupposedly can't be charged the fee. Luca's was pretty busy the Saturday night we were there. Make a reservation and try itout. Hope your experience is better than ours. Read more
We had a wonderful lunch here one afternoon. The decor truly stood out for me. Rustic, cozy, and beautifully Italian with... specific decor to make it outstanding. The bread for appetizers was freshly baked and had to hold ourselves back from asking formore, lest we lose our appetite! The basa was fresh although would have liked it to be a bit crisper. Personal preference. Themain menu was very well prepared but even better was the dessert. They made it fresh and so we had to wait for a while. Also,this place is BYOB. Perfect place for office lunch Read more
Great restaurant. I love the ambiance. Food was great. And service was fantastic. We had appetizers and main. Quantity was big... but flavors were great and it was freshly cooked. Being a BYOB helped with enjoying our own wine. Will be back here soon. Read more
Well worth the drive for excellent food with friendly, professional service. We got four different appetizer choices to share.... Our server Sarah was delightful and gave us extra small plates for sharing our delicious entrees. Large parking lot outside. Webrought wine and they also have a wine list. Read more
