Luca in Liverpool

We were served to day by a Beautiful young lady in a pretty black dress. The atmosphere was just right and created by this young lady

Brilliant service, great food, great atmosphere ! Thanks to Ali,Vicky and Nathan for a great night !

Great Food. Excellent selection. Truly friendly service. Peter is a professional barman who really knows his job. Can't praise enough.

Superb tapas style meals. Delicious and well presented by Peter and Paul. Highly recommended

A wonderful experience and really accommodating for someone with a gluten free diet requirement. Really tasty and will be back. Spot on!

The la bomba starter was 10/10 stole the show lamb ragu was also very nice

The mozzarella and njuda stater is out of this world 10/10

Went to Luca with a friend, the place is lovely and the menu is great but mildly limited for people with intolerance or allergy to dairy, but that's sort of a given it being an Italian restaurant primarily. The service was great except there's a bit of a need to understand humility and not talk down to someone who has a dairy intolerance! There is a difference between lactose free and dairy free ( might be worth checking facts before telling someone with an intolerance they are wrong), but all in all had a lovely time. The food and drinks are delicious 🤤

I have been to Luca restaurant last night with my family to celebrate my birthday but unfortunately we did not have a nice celebration as the dark hair waitress, with glasses and dark lipstick was very rude and abrupt when we wanted to order our deserts. She told us that it will probably take about 10 minutes to cook and only 5 minutes for us to eat it. Now I understand that we had to give the table back but it was not our fault that 2 dishes from our food order were more than 15 minutes late after everyone finished their food. We never experienced this in a restaurant . Will definitely not going back as that waitress made us feel very uncomfortable.

I went to Luca for lunch with a friend and our two babies. We chose from the lunch menu, with 2 plates for £15.50 which is a bargain for the quality and portion of the food. Everything we had was delicious, and the service from Paul deserves special mention. He rushed to help me with the door as I struggled with the pram and couldn't do enough for us. I would recommend Luca to anyone.

Came in after dining in the restraunt once. On a busy Friday we ordered the Calimari, the Risotto and the Welsh Rump. They told us half an hour as it was busy. We arrived on time and the food was ready for us and packaged perfectly. Well worth the price, highly recommend. However if you want shorter wait times choose a day when it isn't peak busy! Amazing food though you must go! ☆☆☆☆☆

I asked for a ftitto misto to take away, chef put it on a pizza box, poured the sauce on the side as if containers don’t exist in the this country and the portion was so small, had no fish in it which is the main ingredient, definitely not ordering from there again and not recommending it to anyone.

Had a wonderful breakfast here on Tuesday. Service from Sam was fab! Will definitely return 5*

We only had coffee but we looked at the menu and suspect that we will be back soon.

The food was very good and wasn’t expensive.

Food was great and service equally great, will return.

Absolutely delicious food and Paul and Vicky who served us was lovely.

Me and my wife had lovely meal for our anniversary. Paul and the Luca's team were very kind to celebrate our anniversary they gave a lovely card and a treat. We loved so much that we ended up having 6 plates and 1 pudding. Everything was excellent and the atmosphere was so relaxing. Please if you have a special occasion coming up make your way to Luca because is not only the food but the whole experience. Thank you Paul for your care and Peter for the selection of prosseco.

Visited this morning as we were looking for somewhere to have Brunch. We had two English Breakfasts and a 3 egg omelette with spinach and the three of us thoroughly enjoyed the meal. In fact best breakfast/brunch we’ve had for a long time and pretty good value too. Coffee was very good and service was attentive. Shout out especially to Paul who did a cracking job looking after us! We will be back!

Gorgeous lunch. Service by Sam was brilliant. Lovely atmosphere and reasonable prices.

Lovely place good prices got lunch deal of 2 small plate for £15 food was amazing

We visited on Saturday night and were served by a lovely waitress named Anna, she was so friendly and her recommendations were perfect! Can't wait for our next visit!

Second time visiting Luca for Lunch. The food was excellent, fantastic staff who were friendly and attentive. Great place!!! Fran was our server who made us her signature cocktail.....delicious. 100% recommend anything on the menu especially the deep fried cheesecake!!!

Gorgeous food, highly recommended. The carbonara was amazing and the pizza are brilliant. Our server Casey was fantastic.

Thanks so much to Casey brilliant service!

Thoroughly enjoyed Luca this afternoon. Great food, great atmosphere and the best service from Casey! Thanks we will definitely return ! Really appreciated the nice token for Mum and Dad’s 50th Wedding anniversary !

Great food, nice tunes, lovely place, Excellent service from Casey. Definitely be back soon.

Delightful experience. Food was beautifully prepared and the service was excellent. So pleased to discover this lovely place

Casey was brilliant and food was outstanding. Thank you

Food, service and atmosphere was incredible! Will definitely be returning.

Food was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend the mussels especially. Great service as well

Casey was our waitress and she was absolutely great

Fantastic food, great atmosphere and the service was great. Can't ask for much more.

Incredible food and brilliant service as always in our favourite restaurant in Liverpool. Casey, our waitress was so friendly and accomodating (even spotted i was cold and adjusted the aircon without me asking 😊). Look forward to our next visit!

Food and Mocktails were delicious, lots of choices and good sized portions. Great service and atmosphere - would recommend. Casey was great and very helpful!

Delectable food and great service from Casey! Would definitely return.

One of our favourite places for brunch, staff are all lovely and nice place when we go out with family feels quite private at the back and space for a large(ish) group of 8

Loveley place to Eat, service was fabulous 👌

Absolutely unreal restaurant 1000% recommend Anna was brill

Lovely place, delicious food and friendly staff

Lovely but had to give up the table at 3pm for another group. We still had half a bottle of wine to finish and weren't offered another area to sit except outside which we took but had to sit in the rain which spoilt the afternoon for us. Food and atmosphere inside was good though x Not sure I'd come back

We had a great date there with lovely food and cocktails. Thanks to Clair for great service.

The food here was divine. The service was impeccable. I cannot wait to come back and dine here. This is Liverpool’s greatest hidden gem.

Absolutely amazing food and service! 100% recommend if you want amazingly cooked food and wonderful staff!!!

How could something so simple taste so good? I had only ordered a mere avocado on toast. To my surprise I was presented with a tantalising delight that far exceeded my expectations. So much so, I had forgotten to take a photo. My taste buds were truly treated to a slice of heaven.

Waited quite a bit for every dish staggered tapas basically wasn't that busy food was nice but for the price n atmosphere wouldn't go again

Luca is normally great which is why I’m giving 4 stars, I have been many times and recommend the restaurant often. Sadly last night was a bit of a disappointment, we had a mid week table booked for 6pm, at 7.30pm we were told ‘we are sorry but we need the table back in 15 minutes’ … we had just finished our mains and for this reason I didn’t bother with dessert or another drink. 1.5hrs is really not long enough to have a nice dinning experience. It’s not a cheap restaurant where you just nip in for a quick meal, it’s somewhere you want to enjoy a bottle of wine and relax. As the plates are tapas style its not the type of meal you really want to rush. For that reason I would possibly now choose to dine somewhere else where you do not feel so on the clock. I don’t know any other restaurant that has less than a 2-3 hour slot allocated. Especially with this type of menu and $. I appreciate that the booking explained this but I really do believe you will lose customers because of this.

The lunchtime offer is great value. The food is tasty and the service is good.

Had a lovely lunch with family , food was really tasty and fresh , the lemon dessert was fab and I haven’t had anything like it before , will be going back

Great service from Anna and Fran, and the food created by Waleed was unlike anything I'd eaten before - in the best way.

We had a lovely time at Luca today and can’t recommend this place enough! We went at lunch time and it was quite busy, Hannah & Sam went out their way to make a space for us and couldn’t have been nicer. The food was absolutely lovely and worth every penny! The service was amazing and they couldn’t have been nicer. Really highly recommend this place and the team. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

Amazing food and wine. Very impressive!

Very nice restaurant. Serves Italian Tapas (?!). Lost a star for being a bit overprised.

Came here for dinner on my birthday and the food was exceptional. Hands down best dinner I've had in Liverpool and I eat out more than I should. Vegetarian options are all delicious and the service is excellent. Went back for brunch over the weekend and had the wild mushrooms with poached eggs. Its now my favourite place for brunch too.

We had the Full English and pancakes. Both were absolutely superb. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Tapas very small not good value for money. Won’t be going back

Sunday 17th March 17:30 Firstly the service is amazing and the staff friendly , however the food we found a little bland, the calamari was definitely frozen and over cooked to become so rubbery, it had also a lingering taste of old cooking oil . The pepperoni pizza priced at £10 is definitely overpriced having hardly any slices of pepperoni topping. Partner had the mussels which she said tasted fine apart from the thick tomato sauce , the meat balls fell apart and lacked texture the accompanying bread with the mussels was so hard it nearly broke her teeth . We only had two courses each and one drink with some free tap water including tip £75:35

Lovely little place. The food was very enjoyable and on point. The service by Dominic was exceptional- he really went the extra mile to make us feel warm and welcome.

It is amazing, the food and the staff. U will definitely love this. ❤❤

Great value for money, amazing food & service. It was a big group meal and the service & food quality remained high. Thank you 🙏🏻

Great place on Allerton Road - large menu, lovely setting. Would definitely recommend the sprouts!!!!

Used to love this place, table was booked for 7pm by 8.30 they were virtually cleaning up around us & brought us bill when we never asked, its supposed to be open till 10 even a monday night at least should be 9.30, it's gone completely overpriced & portions way to small for the price, won't be coming again

Our first time trying Luca, really enjoyed it. Loved the menu & the concept of small Italian plates. Excellent service from Dominic and the rest of the team, would recommend! Thanks for a great evening

The best italian restaurant in town for a local like me!

Can’t recommend Luca enough food is unbelievable especially the wild mushroom sourdough 👌🏼

Came on a Monday night and the atomsphere was great! Food was amazing! Every dish was so tasty! I will definitely be back for them salt n vinegar sprouts😆 Service was exceptional too, very friendly prompt staff. Dominic was lovely and personable. Thank you x

Truly beautiful food! Huge compliments to the chef, very much looking forward to returning with friends and family and trying more of the menu. Lovely atmosphere and wonderful staff. Very reasonably priced, can't praise this restaurant enough.

This was a really difficult review, mainly because the food was fabulous and our waitress was wonderful, friendly and gave great recommendations. However the vibe was ruined by the hostess as soon as we walked in. I called the night before to see if we could add two more people to my booking. The man the answered was really helpful and said yes that wouldn’t be a problem. Turned up after raving to my family how good Luca is, who had come to from down South. However the hostess said to us that we had only booked for two people not four and informed us we would have to sit on the high table with stools. I did go to tell her that I’d called up yesterday but before I had a chance to finish my sentence she abruptly interrupted me and said “yeah well I wasn’t in last night”. I was really shocked at the way I was spoken to and to be honest a little bit embarrassed I was spoken like this in front of my family after singing Luca praises. Later on that night a couple went to come in (Luca were still serving) and the girl in the couple changed her mind and they walked back out. The same hostess turned around and said to another member of staff “it’s like they can tell isn’t it” more or less saying she didn’t want their custom. For me being made to feel welcome somewhere is just as important as the food and the hostess just really made me feel very unwelcome with her attitude from the moment we walked in. I did email Luca about this just to make them aware however I never heard back. Such a shame as the food and waitress was amazing but I don’t think I’ll be returning.

Absolutely fantastic this place gets better and better never fails to disappoint

Great service the girls were welcoming and friendly, food was tasty. Have to mention the risotto it's a must-have. The tiramisu was one of the best we had.

Favourite restaurant in Liverpool, Luca never disappoints!

Lovely afternoon with good food and very pleasant service 😊

Really good and fast service with great food and drinks.

Great food, drinks and service. Reasonably priced. Our waiter, Jason, was great.

First time here amazing food great service the ragu delicious

Superb place. Food is incredible and they catered to a table of eight with four young kids in an attentive and friendly manner. Special mention to Claire who was so good with the kids and actually came out with a little birthday dessert for my partner. Cannot stress how impressed we were with the service and food.

Went for my birthday lunch with my two sisters, l can highly recommend, the food was spot on as was the service. Will definitely be going back again as the whole afternoon was lovely, thank you Luca.

I ate here for the 1st time yesterday. It was really good. Its an Italian tapas and has a wide variety of food. We got 6 plates of tapas between me and my wife. The portions a very generous and very tasty. The servers Caitlin and Aisy were very friendly and gave amazing service. I'll definitely return here!

Absolutely fantastic meal all dishes were amazing first time at the restaurant it won’t be our last thanks service fab food delicious well priced good portion size can’t wait to go back and try more dishes

Great food, reasonably priced and really great staff

The chefs who work here are artists. I've been a chef for 8 years and I can't fault either the friendly service or the food, the brisket was rare the sourdough was crunchy the wine was sweet and sour and dry in perfect amounts. These guys will treat you right when you need it.

Loved the place, atmosphere and food! Had the sweetest waitress who was super helpful when we couldn’t decide what to get. Thank you!

My first visit and I was very impressed. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was great. Parking wasn't great but that was to be expected due to its location.

Stumbled across Luca today, having craved tapas for lunch, and will be returning again! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, friendly service, and great food. My friend and I enjoyed the peppers, truffle fries, fried goats cheese, ragu parpadelle and calamari. All the food was freshly prepared, good sized for cicchetti, and arrived in good time. Along with a glass of wine, a coffee, and a hot chocolate, the bill came to £55. Thanks again!

Lovely atmosphere and food was delicious while worth a visit and I will be back.

Absolute shame that our meal was spoilt by the service at this resturant.The abrupt attitude of the serving staff at the table was rude and brusk and quite frankly confrontational.The rest of our party arrive 15 mins after the table was booked at 6:30.She was advised we only had our table until 8:30..a two hour slot. We were not asked if we would like a coffee after our meal ..when I asked I was frankly told that we only had the table until 8:30 “and I did tell you that earlier” I went on to ask if there was another party waiting after us ? To which she replied yes.When leaving there was no one waiting at the bar or for our table.We left the restaurant rather puzzled as to why the waitress was so off in manner throughout service at our table. We walked down the road and was welcomed warmly by another Italian where we stayed and had coffee.We will be returning there in future.Such a shame …

We came for lunch and chose the 3 small plates option and they were gorgeous. Everything so fresh and made to order and the two waitresses were so lovely

We were welcomed when we came in and served by Caitlin she was very smiley and understood that we wanted to keep some plates to use as dipping sauce 10/10 the girl knows

Excellent food as always, service is always amazing 👏

Food was excellent. Wasn't overpriced and the service was very good. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

Our first time here and absolutely gorgeous and great service...will definitely be back

Food was great! Although not as big as you would expect for the price however, service was brilliant but I'd recommend 4 dishes per person as 3dishes each wasn't enough for our group

I attended this restaurant and was greeted by a man with the frame and proportions of Michelangelo's ‘david’. This gregarious character served me charisma, and then my food. I visited this restaurant for an experience, expecting to learn a little bit about food, but in the company of this bald-by-choice man, I left having learned a little bit more about life. This staff member was so affable I’m considering shaving my head in reflection of his appearance. Would recommend.

The worst restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Abused by the staff for declaring an allergy and told to leave in a rude and aggressive way by a short little man.

The aggressive, rude staff at Luca would do well to remember that ‘it’s not what you say but how you say it’. My friend was verbally abused for declaring an allergy and refused service. No allergen menu was given, just told to leave. There was no apology for having waited 20 minutes to have an order taken only to be told ‘I don’t want to serve you’ by a bald male staff member clearly in need of some retraining.

Came here for lunch with my partner who has a mild nut allergy (traces fine). A man, who I can only hope is a temporary manager, rudely confronted my partner about not carrying an epipen, stating that they had had an issue with a customer the week before who ‘broke out into a rash’ after eating their food. He then stated that it was his ‘liberty to refuse to serve us’ and encouraged us to leave the restaurant which was pretty humiliating. You’d think that after their recent experience of a customer having a reaction that they’d bother to provide allergen menus to customers and introduce thorough training for all staff, instead of having a manager who was so lacking in hospitality that we could have solved the energy crisis by harnessing the colossal amount of angry divorced Dad energy emanating from his head.

Been to this restaurant several times now and it is faultless. Food is always amazing and staff are always super friendly & helpful. Really lovely place which I always recommend!

The clerk’s recommendation is very good👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰

Great little place. Food is delicious. We have ordered 4 plates (for2 girls) / 1 starter and 3 dishes and ended up taking a doggy bag! They say its “tapas style” but portions are generous! Definitely SHARE the dishes so you can enjoy all flavours.

Amazing food amazing staff who couldn't do enough for you,can't wait to go back.
