Why Travelers Love Casa Luca
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
It is a nice place, atmosphere is great, good music, food is good. For a place like this, I strongly believe personnel should be trained better, only the manager (I think he was the manager) speaks English, fortunately, myself and another friend speaks Spanish and were able to help our other friends to place the order. Service was a little slow. Great place and great food. Courteous employees. In my opinion since last time I visited it has come a little down or today was a bad day. My son and I ordered the main course to go (so we can enjoy desert) and they never brought it back, therefore I forgot. I order a water with gas that never came. And it was not rush time at 4pm. Food was nice, the ceviche and the bass. I didn't realize the bass was ONLY a piece of fish, NO sides :O add a large bottle of sparkling water, an aperol spritz and say goodbye to $100 :O But, I had a not so nice reminder of the ceviche the next day, with terrible diarrhea (rating was 4 stars before this, now downgraded to 2 stars)

The place is beautiful decorated, very detailed and amazing ambience. The tuna tartare with bone marrow melts in your mouth. The takitos of ribeye were very flavourful. We had the chillo and the 32oz ribeye with the rice, both perfectly cooked and the mix of flavours was superb. It is a hidden gem!

We were walking to Plaza Central and I told my husband I wanted a nice restaurant. He found this place which was a 5 min walk. Boujee from the entrance. The restaurant was so beautiful, beautiful is a understatement. Because the service was impeccable. Our waiter was patient and really helpful. The casa Luca cheese bread is a must have. But the food. Omg was like orgasm in your mouth quite literally. I enjoyed everything about this place. I wish I can enjoy more but my time was short in SDQ Definitely recommend. 1000%
