Fantastic food and service! Italian tapas and big portions so beware how much you order, you can always order more. You will not be disappointed with presentation and flavours.

Went on Friday night and it was empty, food was delicious but not worth the money. Best example is the Pizette which is basically a pizza but smaller and at £12 that's more expensive than a full-sized pizza in some of the excellent Italians in the area. Also as everything basically came out at the same time you had to rush your food before it went cold, I know this is the concept but it doesn't make for an enjoyable culinary experience. Won't go again but if it's this empty every Friday I can't see it lasting. Other small plate restaurants charge about £8 per plate not £10 to £13

We’ve been to Luca a few times now and love the place. Food is amazing and staff very friendly. Our go to restaurant in Ormskirk. Right on Stiles carpark so easy to park and they have great gluten free options. Great place for taking friends everyone are always impressed.

I enjoyed the plates we ordered, especially the meatballs, which were very, very good. I think it's a tad expensive compared to other tapas bars (in Liverpool where it's ultra competitive), so not great value. My classic Negroni was nice, but not served in an Old Fashioned glass. Service was friendly, we did wait a fair while for the remaining 3 plates we ordered (I know tapas plates arrive when they are ready, but it's not usual you finish 3 plates before the other 3 dishes are served). Also we were not told about unavailable dishes until we'd chosen some which were actually unavailable, so that's quite frustrating. A nice meal though, nice servers but maybe a bit too expensive for what you get.

Small plates. Ordered lasagne, stale, dry cardboard like sheets, inedible, got the meatballs and sea bass, also poor. Whole experience unsatisfactory, overpriced, will not be back

Very over priced especially when the food is terrible every dish we ordered had Parmesan granules dumped on top without asking for it the presentation is appalling. There were 4 of us two where sick all night. I wasn’t sick but do feel like being sick when I think of the meal we will never go back. The waiter was lovely and looked embarrassed to be bringing such sub standard meals out.

Sat down in the restaurant service and the food arriving was too quick especially when you are paying between £10-£13 for a small plate. Was in there an hour and ended up spending £300 for 5 of us, extremely expensive for what you get. Decor and staff were nice. Not sure I will be back.

Used to come here 25 years ago (a lot!) and although it's changed (including not having to bend down and give your order to the barman through a low window) it's still a great pub in the heart of Ormskirk. Good selection of beers and wines.

Have been here numerous times for a drink however, the new owners have increased the drinks prices dramatically. The Monday to Friday offer before 5 has gone. We would normally pay £8 for two drinks today £14.80. Bye to the Buck.

To be honest I’m not a massive fan of tapas but thought I’d give it a go. Seated promptly. Drinks ordered was incorrect but no big deal. Food came out incredibly fast for a table having ordered 12 plates. Food was averagely nice. We ordered pudding but had to wait a while as one of the tables pudding didn’t arrive. We alerted the staff who did deduct from the bill. Thought the bill was expensive.

Dropped in on the off chance for Sunday Lunch, absolutely gorgeous food, we all had the Roast beef lunch which was so tasty, service was just right, attentive but not overbearing, Italian style puddings were delicious. A great small plates menu, will definitely be returning to try those, good pricing!

As a group of friends we have been coming to this pub for years to watch the football, casual drinks or birthdays and Christmas. After attending for the football we won’t be returning. I understand the cost of supplies has massive jumped but to be told by a rude member of staff “well we need the money” wasn’t the answer we was looking for when asking why it had risen. Friends had also been told to not put their drinks back on the table after the same member of staff wiped the table down ready to close. Such a shame for such a historic pub to now be turning into a student bar basically.

Awful customer service. Short server with dyed blind hair really rude when simply asked for flavours of frappes. Took an interest while drinking our drinks and she was equally obnoxious with 200% of customers. 50% of tables not cleared and floor littered with discarded tissues. Place half empty on a busy market Saturday. 6 other coffee houses within 100 metres. Clearly people voting with their feet Server in question looked hungover, regularly going into back kitchen for 5 minutes breaks leaving a young server alone to cope. Fortunately, not too many customers to worry about. Starbucks next visit I think...
