Wonderful experience at Cafe Luca. The foot was particularly good, especially the seabass with honeyed rice. Service was friendly and took great care of guests' allergies. Top value given the experience. Much recommended.

The BBQ Steak flatbread was fantastic. Great flavour, more spice level than I expected but I’m fine with that, some people might find it too much. My wife had the burger which she also was very happy with, it was a substantial size too

Fantastic, healthy, delicious, different food. My group tried all the vegetarian dishes, each one starter size. Innovative food and delicious. For mains we had the Branzono, a whole fish cooked on the fire, enough for 3 people. Incredibly good. We also had the Pepper Steak, succulent and flavoursome. Unhesitatingly recommend.
