"This Gables Italian spot is past its days of being considered "hot" and "new." But recently, it has been hard to find a table here on a Saturday night. We get it. Luca still serves outstanding fresh pasta, little fluffy fried potato balls covered in parmigiano fonduta, and has outdoor seating you'll want absolutely nothing to do with for the next four months. So plan ahead and make that reservation for an indoor table in the small dining room. You can also try to walk in for a seat at the bar. It's a great place to have a solo meal with a negroni and some cacio e pepe. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
