Reviews for Luca in Stony Brook, NY
This is just a beautiful restaurant. Nicest decor around anywhere. Had a whiskey sour at bar. Perfect. Husband and I really... enjoyed everything with the exception of my entree which was swordfish. It was very dry and uninteresting. I hope they’llreplace it on menu with something else. Husband’s chicken parm was delicious. Good wine list but all extremely expensive. More mid range bottles would be appreciated. Restaurant is brand new and I expect that it will keep getting better. We enjoyedthe evening and will definitely be back. Read more

Tried Luca and was delighted to have this caliber of restaurant mid-island. Luca’s team shows strong efforts in... conceptualizing their cooking, plating and service while taking comfort Italian food to lofty heights. For $85, a four coursetasting menu allows you to choose from several options under the categories: appetizer, pasta, entree and dessert. The interioris contemporary with clean lines all the while capturing a cozy warmth.\n\nI ordered a mezcal margarita that packed a punchwhile remaining balanced in flavor which, surprisingly, is hard to find at many restaurants. Their wine collection isextensive.\n\nNot part of tasting: Prosciutto accompanied with thinly sliced pecorino..a delicious pairing and must order forthe table.\n\nOrganic Romaine aka Caesar Salad: loved the perfect amount of savory dressing and slight seasoning on the cheesethat submits additional crunch. I would order this time and time again. Underrated bonus: the lettuce was actually cold! Itseems some restaurants don’t chill their lettuce and veggies enough for a salad.\n\nAnolini: Deliciously comforting. Thesewere little pasta discs filled with ricotta and served in a balanced sweet and savory honey butter sauce. My first bite made mewish I already had more than they served. I realized towards my last bite that they served the perfect amount of Anolini- nomore, no less. Well executed.\n\nChicken Parm: Crunchy, flaky crust on tender chicken in a really light pomodoro sauce. Iappreciate how light the pomodoro sauce was due to it’s mix of olive oil. The mozzarella melted perfectly atop was easy to cutthrough and didn’t get messy. Blistered tomatoes on vine were a delicious bite.\n\nDessert: Pistachio Gelato is outstanding.The balance between nutty and mildly sweet definitely made me wish I had another heaping scoop. I loved that it was served witha cocoa merengue to offer crunch for a play on textures. A drizzle of chocolate sauce on top.\n\nService was attentive withoutbeing over Read more

Everything was phenomenal! The cocktails to start were delicious, and the bartenders were so friendly, knowledgeable, and... professional. Our server Dakota went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was special, as it was our anniversary.The owner also brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate as well. And if all of that wasn’t enough, the food wasincredible! Everything my husband and I had, were some of the best versions we had ever tasted before. The tuna carpaccio, thepesto, the veal chop, everything was better than the next. Definitely our new favorite spot! Read more

Came for my husbands birthday and had such a memorable experience! For starters, the atmosphere is 5*, it wasn’t too dark or... too loud, 2 things we truly hate at some restaurants. The decor was also so beautiful! More importantly, the food was delicious!Love the idea of getting to choose an app, pasta, entree and dessert all to myself! my husband and I shared everything andeverything was delicious, especially the arugula zeppolis! Portions are also perfect sized. Finally, our waiter Jared made ourdining experience top notch! Very knowledgeable in the menu and so friendly & attentive! Will definitely be back. Read more
