" So pleased with our experience at Caffe De Luca! I’ve been looking for a good Italian place in the area, and I finally found it. We celebrated my friend's promotion and were treated wonderfully by the staff. We ordered various dishes, and everything was delicious—especially the lasagna and the ricotta cheesecake! The vibe was lively, but the acoustics were good enough to maintain a conversation. Our server made great suggestions and ensured our experience was memorable. I’ll definitely be back for another celebration! " (*Curated Review*)

The staff was stellar, very attentive and informative about the dishes. They made sure we were well taken care of. It’s clear that they value customer satisfaction. I’m already thinking about my next visit. It's a perfect spot for gatherings and celebrations. " (*Curated Review*)

" Caffe De Luca has become one of my favorite restaurants in town! I've visited several times for both lunch and dinner, and I've never been disappointed. The food is authentic and flavorful, and I can never resist trying their daily specials. My favorite has to be the gnocchi—they cook it to perfection every time. The staff is warm and welcoming, always making sure my dining experience is enjoyable. I’ve also hosted a small gathering with friends here, and the staff went above and beyond. Highly recommend!

" I can't rave enough about Caffe De Luca! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance felt welcoming and warm. We were greeted promptly, and our server was extremely friendly. The grilled calamari appetizer was expertly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My partner had the mushroom risotto, and I must say, it was rich and fulfilling—definitely a highlight of our meal. We shared the chocolate mousse for dessert, which was a decadent end to our wonderful date night. Excellent value for the quality of food served; I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" We came to Caffe De Luca for a birthday celebration, and it was a delightful experience overall. The decor and ambiance set a festive mood for the occasion. The appetizer we ordered was the stuffed mushrooms, and they were delectable. For the main course, I went with the shrimp pasta, which was a bit salty for my liking, but my friends raved about their dishes. The service was attentive and quick, which we appreciated. I also enjoyed their wine selection. Overall, it was a nice place to commemorate a special day. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty decent meal at Caffe De Luca last week. The mushroom risotto was cooked well and very filling, but I felt that I could have used a bit more seasoning. The atmosphere was pleasant, making it a nice place to unwind after a long day. Our server was friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a solid place to enjoy Italian food, but I would suggest they step up on flavor a bit more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I’m glad to have tried Caffe De Luca; I’ve always heard great things about this place. The ambiance was nice, providing a lovely dining experience. I opted for a seafood pasta dish, which delivered a fresh taste; unfortunately, I felt the portion was a little small for my appetite. The gelato dessert was very enjoyable, rounding out a pleasant meal. Overall, I appreciated the friendly service and atmosphere, though some dishes might need a little refining. " (*Curated Review*)
