Italian-British fusion with handmade pasta & parmesan fries
"Announced as a new One Michelin Star restaurant in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
"Understated elegance makes this one of London’s most attractive dining rooms, where a charming, chatty team serves a mightily appealing menu of expertly executed Italian dishes in generous portions with bold flavours; come at lunchtime for the brilliant value ‘Bar Express’ menu, which offers some of the most affordable MICHELIN-Star dining in London." - Andrew Young
"At Luca, some booths are caramel, some are mint, and all are deliciously stylish places to park a tiny Valentino bag and go on a lobster taglierini spending spree. Our favourites are in the bar area. Get comfy and order with a proud nonna mentality for the best things at this Italian in Clerkenwell—comforting pork sausage ragù rigatoni, warm bread with glugs of olive oil, and one of London’s best tiramisus." - sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"Like Gaga on a campaign trail, Luca is glam. A sophisticated Clerkenwell spot with lots of polished surfaces and dark wooden booths, this place specialises in cooking Italian food using British produce, with elements of British cuisine thrown in. Get a seat at the charming bar with your favourite person, order the outrageous parmesan fries and a bowl of the rigatoni with pork sausage ragu, then ask the barman to make you a gold Negroni." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager
"If you like great pasta, then heaven probably looks a lot like Luca in Clerkenwell. This is a proper restaurant (and as a result has some proper prices), but don’t let that put you off because the pasta is sensational. For a meal that’s lighter on your wallet, head to the classy bar and order the rigatoni with rich pork sausage ragu. It’s been on the menu for many years and we hope it always will be. The parmesan fries and an expertly made Negroni are also essential." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna
