Very unusual seating area when you first walk in. I wish I could give a higher rating but we were not treated very well. We all felt second-rate and overlooked. It’s too bad. I will never be back.

This restaurant is so beautiful and the food looks like art. I got the Ravioli Salmone and it was so good! It had lobster and caviar, and it was cooked perfectly. The sauce was so light and creamy. My friend got the Carbonara and it was what you dream Carbonara tastes like, It was seasoned perfectly and savory. The pasta had the best bite to it. We shared Calamari (which came with shrimp and different types of Calamari) and a chocolate torte. I ordered a Negroni and it was perfectly blended. Everything was delicious. The restaurant was packed and somehow the reservation I made online didn’t work, but the staff was so kind and they sat us quickly. The service was really kind and professional. I’ll definitely be back!

Went here for the first time and the food was fantastic, and came out fairly quickly, I went Monday night around 4pm and was the only table seated at the time. We got Genovese pizza as an appetizer. Honestly best pizza I’ve had in a long time. For a main course I had the “Chef’s Pasta” which was so good, it had mushroom and ham in it with a white sauce. It was a big dish so I couldn’t finish it and took it home. It did not reheat well so eat it while it’s fresh!

OK, I have been wanting to go here for years and finally it happened. I’ve lived in Salt Lake most of my life and I can say this is the best Italian food I’ve had here. Carbinara and wild boar papardelle were amazing. Reminded us of Tuscany where we first discovered the dish. The Tiramisu was huge and over the top delicious. I can’t believe it took us so long to come here, this will be a recurring place for me and my wife. Highly recommended!!

Unfortunate- we loved this place the last time, but tonight’s showing was just abysmal. Chicken Parmesan was cooked to a burnt crisp and had oil leaking out when pressed. Our Carbonara likewise swam in oil and the noodles were so over cooked they mashed with the slightest pressure from a fork. We ended up tossing our food and will not be back- absolutely not worth the price.

We came here after wedding dress shopping without look at the hours and we ended up being there an hour before they opened. The manager gave permission for them to start serving us. The food was AMAZING and everyone was so friendly. They made a special day even more special

Bravo!!!!! As a personal food critic, this place is sexy, beautiful and the food is marvelous! One of the best lasagna and tiramisu I ever had, and I have had many. Here for 4 days and are there twice. The staff is wonderful, service is 5 star. I give you a 4 star Michelin review, only reason for the 4 is we must leave room to always grow. The only thing missing is the view from the ocean in Venice.

Attended a wine class recently at this place organized by the U’s continuing education department. I ordered the Linguine alle Vongole – the lemon sauce was tasty, the linguine could have done a little less cooking time. The $30 price tag was a little steep.

The chicken parm and Caesar salad were pretty good. Unfortunately, the waiter suggested the Luca pizza and it was just not good. My wife nor I liked it and between the two of us we ate a slice and a half. They waiter asked if we liked it and when we told him we didn’t really like the pizza it got super weird. He immediately said he’d go talk to the owner. We didn’t really expect anything except maybe an offer for something else or maybe they take the pizza off of the bill. The waiter returned after some time (he didn’t mention anything about speaking to the owner) and asked if we would like a box for the pizza… we politely declined because we didn’t like it. He told us he didn’t want us to leave it because they’d just throw it away in the kitchen… at this point we just didn’t know what was going on. He mentioned maybe taking the pizza to give to his dog. We offered it to him but he said he couldn’t take it. I told him he could just take it to the kitchen and we were ready for the check. He brought us the check and it included the pizza. We asked if we could at least get a discount on the pizza since we didn’t eat it and didn’t like it. He hesitantly said he’d ask, but that the owner/manager had gotten mad at him the last time he talked to them about it. After some time a woman came with our check and card and shortly said, “We won’t be giving you a discount for the pizza and we will run the card for the total amount.” She then walked away. My wife and I were both just stunned. The waiter brought back our check for a tip and awkwardly apologized and explained to us that others have always liked the pizza. We just wanted to get out of there. Would not recommend. Will not be returning.
