Frank Bonanno's heritage is in this restaurant. Named for his son Luca (whose portrait adorns the dining room), Luca d'Italia pays homage to the kind of food Bonanno grew up with—from the finest restaurants in New York to his mother's home kitchen in New Jersey . Sure, Zagat's rates it the top Italian restaurant in the western United States, and Gabby Gourmet gives it three pigs with a rocket--but to Bonanno, Luca's a valentine—Italian food the way it ought to be, lovingly prepared, thoughtfully served and thoroughly enjoyed.

The words from scratch have never ment more! Everything is made in house, from the cheese to the cured meats... and the pasta the pasta!!! That's made fresh also! You couldn't get a better meal unless you were in Italy!
Frank Bonnano's restaurants are fantastic. I love both Mizuna (my favorite restaurant in Denver - should be under New American versus Romantic) and Luca D'Italia.
Coming from a New Yorker, this is the best Italian I've found in Denver! Where they lack in ambiance, they more than make up for in delicious, mouth-watering food. Order several appetizer sized pastas & share...if you can. The fussili will make you come back again & again!
