My wife and I had dinner for the first time at Luca’s. Odalma was our waitress and she did an outstanding job taking care of us. It was my wife’s birthday and she really enjoyed her Mahi Mahi. I have Celiac Disease, but they have many gluten free (GF) menu items, including GF bread for the table. I had a GF pasta dish which was absolutely delicious!
All vegan and sooooo yummy!! Gluten free and vegan pastries and baked goods, the brownie was really good. I've also had an acai bowl, mango pineapple smoothie with plant protein, flat white w oat milk and special of the day- sweet potato black bean quesadilla (no fake cheese, just a delicious cashew "queso" dip, and filled with a ton of yummy veggies, and spiced so well!)- all really good! I don't live here but if I did I would eat here every day! Everyone was so nice and helpful and the service was fast. Cute spot too.
If I can give the servers more than 5 stars I would. So friendly, always happy and upbeat, my water glass never got empty. The manager was walking around mingling. Everyone spoke English and understood my gluten-free needs. I even ordered pasta that was not on their menu directly(cuz i have child like taste), and they accommodated and made it GF.
