Chef Frank Bonanno dug into his Sicilian heritage and east coast roots to create this authentic, rustic Italian eatery. Luca has amazing personal touches from the daily made breads and pastas to the meats and cheeses cured in house, to the charcoal drawing of Bonanno’s son (and the restaurant’s namesake) that hangs in the dining room. Luca is heartwarming and satisfying from the wood-fired pizzas to the hand-rolled pastas to the perfectly seared proteins. It’s not your ordinary pile-of-pasta-and-sauce Italian joint; it’s the real (and tasty) deal.

    Alma Fonda Fina is an absolute standout in Denver! From the moment you step in, the atmosphere is warm and inviting, blending modern elegance with the soul of traditional Mexican cuisine. The menu is a love letter to authentic flavors, elevated with a fresh, innovative twist. Every dish we tried was beautifully plated and packed with flavor—think handmade tortillas, rich and complex moles, and perfectly balanced ceviches. The drinks? Just as impressive. Their cocktails are expertly crafted, offering the perfect sip to complement the meal. Get the avocado Marg!! Service was top-notch, with a team that’s not only knowledgeable but passionate about the food they serve.

    We dined here for the first time. It was a date night, and we couldn’t have been more pleased. The ambiance of the old home was charming. Our server, Charles, was outstanding! He was very attentive, personable, and fun. We will definitely be back, and I would highly recommend!

    Fantastic, as always! Gabby & Travis are phenomenal. Even when we aren’t sitting in their sections, they make a point to come say hello & chat for a minute. The food is absolutely delicious (the wild mushroom fusilli & the shaved Brussels sprouts salad are my top choices). The ambiance is lovely, the wine selection is beautiful (Gabby has the best recommendations), the setting is intimate & the staff does a phenomenal job of creating a warm, welcoming environment. 10/10 recommend. And when you’re finished eating at Luna, pop over to Salita or Vesper Lounge next door for a nightcap or coffee.

    We joined their wine tasting dinner. It was a perfect experience and well worth the price. The winemaker from the piedmont region in Italy introduced us to their wines even with a vertical tasting to enjoy with 4 courses of Olivia’s best dishes to appreciate all the flavors. Looking forward to more delicious meals and amazing service at Olivia’s.
