"The star of Luca Osteria’s menu is the patate fritte (cripsy potato balls covered in parmigiano fundata), but that doesn’t mean pasta is just a supporting actor. There are eight options on the menu, like chitarra with rock shrimp and pickled garlic white wine butter, or the pappardelle with short rib bolognese in mortadella butter. Their lobster fra diavolo is a spicy mosh pit of spaghetti and calabrian chilis, but it’s not always on the menu (so if you see it, order it). Luca Osteria is also a refreshingly casual spot in a city like Coral Gables, where Italian restaurants love their white tablecloths.
