Luca Italian Bistro

Excellent food (and a lot of it - please come with a huge appetite) and I ate every bite of mine. Atmosphere was awesome - small, quaint, perfect for the little town of Hammondsport. I gave the service Five stars because the 'only' server Saturday evening (12/31/2023) literally handled the room by herself. Not one person in there sent back anything, complained about wait times, complained about her service - everyone there was taken care of. She did an absolutely wonderful job! I know the food is good for the next time I go back (and I WILL eat there again) however, I really hope she's there as well. Made the whole experience an A++.

Have eaten here several times..atmosphere is amazing and friendly and knowledgeable staff! The plating and appearance is precise and full of flavor!

We had dinner there not long after they first opened. Things were a little slow, understandably with just opening. The service was very pleasant, the chef made a recommendation to my husband - which he really enjoyed. The atmosphere (we ate at the bar downstairs) was cozy and appealing and the food....oh the food....it was AMAZING!! Nice wine selection as well. Cannot wait to return and wish this restaurant much success!!

The restaurant is new, opened in early summer 2023. The atmosphere was wonderful and the wait staff excellent. My husband ordered the Linguine with Clams Marinara and he always has me try(taste test)…..the clams were huge, I mean so huge that it was not a pleasant experience. The clams were well steamed and served with Linguine and LOTS of garlic.
I ordered the Orecchiette with cherry peppers, greens and garlic. The waitress came back from the kitchen I’m sad the Orecchiette was not available as it wasn’t delivered by the supplier… very disappointed and substituted with Linguine. His dish was good if you salt; way too much for my liking and serve with just the right amount of vegetables. We’ll be back to try other menu items.

Nice place for some casual itian dining. Ordered the appetizer special, cheese stuffed ravioli with lobster and Alfredo sauce, very tasty! For entre had the salmon carbonara, fish was very tasty, sauce and pasta just alright. Friend ordered the shrimp and Italian sausage special, spicy but very good.
