Read full reviewTried out Luca's in Sunninghill on Friday as part of Restaurant Week. The starter was a Luca Salad with pizza bread (focaccia). The garlic pizza bread was delicious, so was the salad just wish they mentioned that it came with pieces of boiled egg and wished they used mixed lettuce leaves instead of iceberg. For Mains, I had zucchini ricotta ravioli in a truffle cream sauce, very tasty but rich. My friends had the rainbow trout done with a lemon butter sauce, which he said was tasty. For dessert we were meant to have the pomegranate and bubbly sorbet however this did not set, a bit disappointing. We chose off the a la carte menu. I had the cassata which was passable, a little grainy. My friend had the baci (Italian kisses) which he said was good. Overall a lovely evening, the service was excellent. Our waiter Lesvius was brilliant. I would do starters and mains but go somewhere else for dessert. I will go back even if only for the garlic pizza bread. (Rating 3/5)

The owner came around a few times and thanked us for choosing Luca's for Restaurant of the week. He was very down to earth in his cool PINK Gold shirt. The main meals were very interesting and inventive. The desserts were not bad but as expected with a place like this, you do not go there for the desserts.
What an awesome experience! The restaurant week menu was something completely different to their normal menu - Thy should do this more!
OMW the coffee & apricot roast was just to die for!
Went to Luca's last night - were seated promptly and had a very attentive, fun, charming waiter the whole night. The choice of food was good and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Will definitely return here.
Had a lovely meal, the food is delicious & the service was impeccable. Great portion sizes and nice presentation. The starter, main & dessert were all great and went well together.

About Luca's Ristorante
Cuisine: Italian
Luca's Ristorante​
Luca's Ristorante Italiano, established in 1994, captures the essence of the Italian lifestyle –colourful and flavour-filled. Luca Borella, the prolific hands-on owner, honours centuries old traditions essential to authentic Italian cuisine - simplicity and passion (and... don't forget anything Mamma taught you!!!).
Tuscan influences are evident with classic fresh pasta, seafood, meat dishes and exotic delicacies on offer to tantalize your palate! Food is freshly prepared to order and, as far as possible, homemade. The extensive menu goes hand-in-hand with a collection of carefully selected fine South African and Italian wines ( over 200 to choose from!) gathered specifically to complement any choice of meal. A grand wood-burning oven delivers pizzas that delight the gods (the calzone is to die for!) and slow-food specialities, including rabbit casserole served with polenta and lamb pot-roasted in coffee and apricots, will have you coming back for more.
