lucy KemmitzAugust 22, 2013If you enjoy watching the back house action ask for a table with a kitchen view. Food is great. Fresh flavours. Great service. We had the fusilli burrata , gnocchi and prime rib. All were delicious
IS KLEMarch 30, 2015This is a great high end Italian restaurant. Fish dishes are great and so is any Pasta. Marie's light menu is solid choice for quick lunch. This was a chocolate salami dessert. Ridiculous.
- Christopher FlossJune 14, 2015I lived in Rome for 4 years. The menu options at Casa Luca in D.C. remind me so much of Rome!!! A must try if you're in DC and you have a taste for authentic Italian cuisine!
Tammy GordonJuly 6, 2013My faves: fried olives, spreadable sausage, pickled vegetables, meatballs, fried squash blossoms. Entrees: try the daily polenta. Save room for the coffee cake dessert.
Patrick WoodySeptember 9, 2016Great first experience . A pleasant surprise of Italian delight. Dishes truly prepared with "old world" recipes and ingredients YOU KNOW are fresh (by their taste).- Robb FitzsimmonsDecember 22, 2014Washingtonian says don't miss: ’Nduja-sausage spread; crescia flatbread; jamón Ibérico; porchetta tonnato; ravioli; baby monkfish; semifreddo; brioche-and-gelato sandwich; hazelnut coffeecake
John BrettFebruary 14, 2017Wonderful wine selection, incredibly attentive wait staff, and knowledgeable Sommelier. Oh...and the food! Amazing evening.
Rocio del Mar PerezMarch 31, 2014Fantastic service. The bruschetta and the caesar salad were superb. Hazelnut coffee cake was delicious. Will come back for pasta.- Patrick WoodySeptember 9, 2016Bartender Donald knows his stuff. He provides an excellent guide and suggestions to the menu. Smart employee that is Very good at his craft
Linda BAugust 21, 2013Had the burrata tomato salad & gnocchi. Both were amazing!! Also, def save room for dessert :)
David PelkyJune 4, 2015Great place to go with a smaller group for lunch. Food is delicious and all their deserts with gelato are great.
Washington PostOctober 16, 2013Chef Fabio Trabocchi comes from a four-star background -- the late, great Maestro in Tysons Corner -- evinced here by the way he approaches even basic food.
Joanna KimJuly 24, 2013Great short ribs and pastas but be warned- they bring everything you order out at once even when you specify courses. Literally everything.
ArdvaarkDecember 5, 2015Be sure to mention any special events on your reservation; the staff will make sure you're treated to something special!
Sophia HDecember 30, 2016bucatini nero was delicious! very generous amounts of seafood (a bit charred but still good)
Kevin KigerSeptember 1, 2013Casa Luca is one of Washington DC's best new restaurants. The food and service are superlative. We come here every chance we can!
Brian TothOctober 7, 2014Having today's special at the bar- the crepes filled with ricotta, topped with prosciutto, drizzled with hen broth.. Sooo yummy.
Karen KimNovember 19, 20142 Out Of three? Ravioli was good imo. Our bruschetta had plastic wrap in it. Salad of potato not so impressive. Beets were okay. One of their desserts were great. Two other desserts were mediocre.
Ruth KFebruary 22, 2015Foods good. Service and atmosphere is pretentious. Fyi- your bread will be charged.- Washington PostJuly 3, 2013Chef Fabio Trabocchi of Fiola opened this more family-friendly osteria July 5th, 2013. Read more
