Luca Ristorante Review

Very fast servers, they make sure you get your order in time

All I can say is EXCELLENT. Loved their pizzas...going back to try everything else...Sangria was lovely :-)

Very pricey... food good, but could be better for the price

Awesome friendly service, great food done the genuine Italian way and yet so reasonably priced. A gem!!!

Great Italian food, definitely worth a visit. Weekends gets rather busy, so reservations are recommended.

Luca is famous for his pizza initially on the site of Morningside shopping centre before it was built, Luca moved here with great success, you have kids play facilities outside as well which makes for a great day out.

Great pasta & pizza. Food came fast. Menu is too large & complex though. Can also improve their drinks. Cocktails were sub-par and beer selection is bad. Maybe a factor of COVID

The look of the place is some what fancy, the feel is a bit boring. It's ideal for quiet dinners. There are TVs for sport. The staff is okay, not very attentive though. Our waiter was serving two other tables while the others were just standing watching the TV, so you tend to feel the wait. The drinks are good though.

Amazing; Credit where credit is due, last night was the 3rd time we've eaten there, and it's been impressive every single time. The pasta was amazing as per usual. I will however suggest, when you order something, don't get rice as a side. The rice was a bit dry, but the service, price, and quality of the pasta's and pizza was incredible. I would definitely suggest you go there.

The restaurant was fairly busy, being month end, we took a chance as we were in the area but had not made a booking. We were fortunate to get a table and our waiter arrived promptly after we were seated by the manager. Great service and both my wife and I chose the Argentinian style rump steak as we both hadn't tried it yet. I must say it was an excellent choice and it was done to perfection. It is a family restaurant so it was a bit rowdy but that did not detract from the good meal and the good service. I had the most divine chocolate truffle cake for dessert. Made with dark chocolate and infused with Jamaican rum, it was delicious. All in all, a great meal, and I would like to go back to try their Italian specialities!

Really disappointed in the meal. Would not recomend this place.

Consistently good food and ever present owner attention

Great selection of pizzas, pastas, calzones and salads! Cannot go wrong with whichever choice you make. Good service too.
Major plus for families with young kids is that there is a cordoned-off kids play area.

Lasagne is out of this world loved it, and the waiters are friendly attentive and very helpfull. Luca is the owner very pleasant person. Definitely the place to stop for a cyclist breakfast or quick bite.

Food always fantastic service excellent and stunning ambience

Luca is a loyal customer of mine and runs one of the best restaurants in Johannesburg!

A real little neighbourhood gem!

Lovely Italian restaurant with great food and great service. Well worth a visit and smokers can sit outside.

Amazing food! Argentinian steak with truffle sauce is a great choice.

It's a place of good food, real good food, you get value for your money and good taste.

An authentic and reasonably priced Italian restaurant.

Amazing staff, excellent authentic Italian from wood fired ovens and extensive wine list. Great playground. Full stars Luca, we will always come back!

Always a great meal. Great service as always . Not to be missed .

Love this restaurant. Sit outside under the trees on a hot summer's evening

Authentic Italian food, every fish we had was really good. Lovely atmosphere

What stunning venue with brilliant and tasty meals full of aroma love and passion in every bite

Hit and miss with our group on the food front. Carbonara was watery and eggs were scrambled. Ravioli was apparently good. Dessert, Italian kisses and gelato, a bit of a let down.

This has to be the best Italian restaurant in Johannesburg. We were a big group and every single person raved about the food. The Italian prosecco and wine are all very well priced (to good to be true) as is the Italian grappa and digestives served by the owner himself. What a gem. Do not miss this

Luca's is a Johannesburg institution. A family friendly restaurant that perfectly balances culinary sophistication with the warmth and comfort of a home cooked meal. Highly recommended.

Your Pasta Alessandro is not only stunning, but seems to improve each time I have it. It worked beautifully with a Guardian Peak Shiraz.

Lovely atmosphere, family restaurant without being a noisy environment. Fabulous menu, service is friendly and efficient. Cosy feel in the evening. Highly recommended.

Absolutely outstanding Italian food, hospitality and ambiance. The dishes at Luca's are unique... such unique dishes include Ravioli Con Salsa al Fungi and a pizza with Lamb and Rocket and also Lamb al Calfe that is evidently made with espresso and peaches.

great Italian Luca is a great host well worth the visit

Awesome family vibe and even better service. Can't wait to go back on a sunny day with the family.

This is our favourite restaurant - we've been going there for 18 years and everything they make is delicious. Service is also fantastic.

Excellent food and always good service. One always feels special. Luca is always accommodating

Pizzas were tasty...service could improve...waiters are rather scarce....acoustic aren't great...cant hear each other talk as the noise level is rather loud...

Its ok a bit on the slow side if you want to enjoy company and have a nice dinner, squid head starters were bland so Id not recommended that however the pizza was devine really great wood fire italian pizza

Food, setting, service, all excellent. My pizza was absolutely delectable and delicious. A very nice place for a professional lunch or regular meal. Top marks for the food.

Always phenomenal, great food, best service and Luca around to say hi! Excellent

Luca's is a very busy place with lots of trendy people. Service is good and the food is fair. You can bring the kids to come play in the provided jungle gym if you like. All round good experience. I would recommend any of the menu options especially the pizza.

Dedicated staff, consistently prepared meals our family loves
