Casa Luca

On our first visit, the service was amazing and the food was great. The staff was very attentive, professional, and welcoming, which is exactly why I was looking forward to coming back. I returned the very next night with high expectations. Unfortunately, the second experience was completely different. The spicy vodka pasta was so salty it was inedible .. genuinely not fit for consumption. I did not eat the dish. What made the situation worse was how it was handled. After speaking with both the waiter and the manager, they still tried to force me to take the dish home and pay for it, despite the fact that it was not consumed and clearly flawed. This restaurant has serious consistency issues, both in the kitchen and in how problems are resolved. I would not recommend.

I had a blast from the experience. I had never been but it was worth every penny. The place looks amazing. They have outdoor seating too. The staff is amazing, very focused on attention and details. Compliments to the manager and the sommelier. Great experience with great food. When in Santo Domingo, this is the place to visit.

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.

My husband and I sat at the bar. We had the ceviche and the octopus salad and split a steak. The food was delicious. Pero the ceviche QUE RICO. Y Ivan, who was our bartender was super sweet and hospitable. He makes an amazing espresso martini too. This will be a staple for us when we visit Santo Domingo. Muchas gracias por todo!

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.

Wao! This place was a total surprise for me, because even with the high expectations that I visited with: it was perfect for a foodie like me!! The recommendations were on point, all I had was well served, good portions and absolute delish food!!! Loved the Fish Papillote and the house ceviche was the best ceviche I’ve had. Totally worth every penny paid. For dinner for 3 with a few cocktails the total was around $3k per person which is not bad at all for such and the incredible experience. The service could have been better from start but luckily our waiter for some reason was switched by the time we had to order our food. The music was on point, lounge like. I wouldn’t say it’s a place for family with kids, it’s more like for friends, couples and basically adults. The deco is fun, loved the art by the walls. Seems like they are for sale or changed once in a while. Would definitely come back to continue trying other plates on the menu.

I think it's just expected here in DR to have a slow prep time for any restaurants. Everywhere i go from the fastfood at the mall to requesting food to my hotel room, everything just seems slow. let's talk about the positive about this restaurant. My appetizer, main entree and desserts were delicious! Clean bathrooms and very friendly employees.

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)
