A nice restaurant option added to the Stove house area. Kids are welcome but it's really catering to adult patrons. Good service. Kitchen was very quick. Calamari appetizer was good, especially the dipping sauce. Entrees are reasonably portioned. Even though every Italian place serves Tiramisu, theirs is excellent and well presented. However, the 'famous' cheesecake was disappointing. Plating looked simplistic and accents tasted like CoolWhip.

We started with the fried zucchini sticks and flatbread. Both were really good. Our entrees were the bolognese and the angel hair oglio y olio. These dishes were ok, but were severely under seasoned. Our server, Christian, was very cordial and checked on us frequently. For the price I was hoping for tastier food.

Ate lunch here today and thoroughly enjoyed everything about the experience. The location adjacent to Stovehouse is so convenient, there is ample parking in front of and to the east of the building, and the wonderful covered outside patio is always a plus for me. I had a cranberry/pecan salad and Margarita pizza. It was very good and the pizza is an authentic Italian style. Our server was very knowledgeable about the food, very friendly, and the perfect level of attentive. Highly recommend and will definitely be back.

i am gluten free and struggle finding restaurants that i can feel satisfied at. this was not one of those times. there are an unbelievable amount of gf options and everything for people with allergens are listed clearly. kevin our server was super helpful and attentive, so ask for him if you can! the drinks were amazinggggg. the only gripe i have isn’t with the actual restaurant but there were a million 15 year olds there for home coming. they were pretty respectful but just loud, like kids are but no biggie at all. i’m from out of town but if i could eat at this restaurant everyday i would. (the pics are of the gluten free pasta and bread i got!)

Good music and very good service It really is an European restaurant, meaning tables are very close to one another and crowded which made it very loud. We were eight people and they put us on a table for max 5-6 people. The wine we had was amazing, very light and easy. The calamari are very tasty. I had the lasagna but it was missing something. The pizza was also not bad, but it was not what it’s supposed to be. Honestly for the price both meals are not worth it, especially the lasagna. The tiramisu however, amazing. Better than any other in town.

Came here for a girls lunch. I was pretty excited because I heard good things about the place. As we walked in it appeared nice and clean. We were immediately seated. As I looked over the menu I didn't see anything that was appealing to me. Eventually I ordered the potato Potato Gnocchi. It was definitely not what I thought it was. So long story short this restaurant is not for me and I will not be returning.

Made a reservation online for two after church and it's our very first visit. As we stepped inside, we were inspired by the warm welcome from their friendly staff. Rebecca, or Becca, was our incredibly sweet and attentive server, always wearing a bright smile as she ensured we received outstanding care. Her vast knowledge of each dish, meal, dessert, and coffee we ordered was truly impressive and uplifting. She was absolutely amazing. Visiting this establishment was a dream come true, reminiscent of authentic Italian cuisine that lifted our spirits. The experience was nothing short of phenomenal, and Becca's exceptional dessert recommendations left us in awe. We highly recommend requesting Rebecca/ Becca for outstanding service when visiting this exquisite restaurant that will leave you feeling inspired. We will definitely return to this establishment again, feeling grateful for the experience.

This place is amazing! Such a much needed bonus to the area! Food was fresh, unique and delicious! Drinks were super refreshing and beautiful. Bartender was very nice and quick. The GM was polished and personable! We had a great conversation. I hear they are even adding a harpist on Wednesdays, which will be super fun! We haven’t seen one of those since Tampa, FL. 5 stars for our group. We will be back!

First time here and it was fabulous! My pizza was unexpected delicious! Decided to go out of the box with a clam and bacon white pizza and it was so yummy! Crust had a nice thin crunch to it. Bacon was crisp! The added pepper flakes were a nice touch! And last but certainly not least.... That tiramisu was the best I've ever had! It is topped with chocolate covered espresso beans and it was the perfect touch considering Thomas my FAV chocolates! The soaked lady fingers and crème were soooo smooth it melts like butter in your mouth! I hope to come back and try some pasta! I tried my fiancée risotto and it was some of the BEST risotto! It has a red base, but it paired perfectly with the chicken! 10/10! Service was great and well educated in menu with wine pairings! Very nice and modern styled restaurant. Love the over fire pizza oven that can be seen from the seating area!

I was looking for somewhere new to eat. It had to be close to the Parkway, I had an appointment on Whitesburg, but, it couldn't be downtown - my BFF can't walk distances. I hate to admit that I don't get out much at home - I guess I eat out enough while on the road. I didn't have a clue where to even begin so I looked for recommendations through my ever faithful Yelp. That's how I found Osteria LuCa On the outside corner of Stovehouse, parking was plentiful. However, it really wasn't clear where the entrance to the restaurant was. It was in the middle of the building, but hidden by a tall row of hedges. The entrance to the sidewalk was on either end of the building. It was a bit of a walk (which I was trying to avoid) and even further of a walk if you didn't realize what you were looking for. I heard several people say the same thing. I don't know what the solution is but maybe a sign along the hedgerow? My friend and I arrived at the same time and were seated immediately at a small table for two. I emphasize "small". There wouldn't have been enough room for a shared pizza, an app, our drinks and our plates. If we each had ordered a pizza, we would have been eating on our laps. Regardless, after trying the first bite of our food, all criticism took a back seat. We started with the Siano burrata . Creamy cheese, served with sundried tomatoes, basil and the clincher - prosciutto. Superb. We then shared the wood fired wild mushroom and caramelized onion pizza. Once again, an excellent choice. Chewy, yet a little crisp, the crust was topped with plenty of mushrooms and perfectly melted cheese. We couldn't finish the pizza but I did manage to finish the burrata. My friend ordered the brownie sundae, with two spoons. Vanilla ice cream, warm brownies and whipped cream was too big just for the two of us. I don't know if those words have ever crossed my lips! In addition to the dinner menu, there were several lunch specials offered including a personal sized pizza. The drink menu offered a nice selection of specialty cocktails which I will definitely try on my next visit. Stove house offers a wide range of food and specialty shops. Osteria LuCa is definitely at the top of this list.

First experience. I decided to surprise my friend here for dinner for her birthday. I questioned this decision several times as I am to settle on Italian cuisine dining. The location and building were nice. Interior is airy and spacious. However, the seatings are really close to the next diner's table. There is an enclosed patio available as well. Our server was really nice, but the service was slow. We ordered the Lemoncelli Martini, Potato Gnocchi & Crispy Prosciutto, and a ceasar salad for starters. Complimentary bread is not served here, but the food would've been great with it. There was a really long wait on receiving our Martinis. We'd almost finished our starters before our waiter realized that we still didn't have our drinks. She was very apologetic and spoke with her manager, who comp our appetizer. I ordered the Chicken & Wild Mushroom Fettucine, and my friend had the Eggplant Parmigiana with spaghetti as our main. Both tasted good. I would've enjoyed the Eggplant Parmigiana more if it had a crisper coating/crust. We both agreed that the texture was a bit too soft, but it had a good taste. No complaints on the Fettucine.

I'm not sure how I felt about it overall. My husband didn't have a great experience - he had the calamari and the mushroom and chicken fettuccine with a beer. I had a salad and the garden pizza with limoncello lemon drop martinis (2). I really enjoyed my food. The martinis were exceptionally well made. We were sat outside on the patio which was a bit warm and had quite a few kids which was fine, just a different ambiance. Service was okay - a little slow, but it didn't seem to impact how quickly the food was delivered. Would go for maybe a drink at the bar to hang out!

We stopped by to try this restaurant out located at Stovehouse. I rarely go to Stovehouse because there's a lot of people, cars, and waiting. Reservations are recommended. I was lucky I was able to sit at 2:00. The restaurant was not crowded. My order consisted of calamari, full chopped salad, bacon and clam pizza, spaghetti and meatballs and Tecla Benazolli Rose. The vibe and feel of this restaurant is levels above the "go to" Italian chain restaurant on University Drive. The calamari came out, perfectly fried and seasoned. The rings and tentacles were tender and when dipped in the marinara, the breading did not peel off. 5/5 The full chopped salad was good. I asked for fresh onions to be added. They weren't on my salad and I asked my waiter to get some. 4/5 Spaghetti and meatballs were delicious. The pasta was overcooked to me as I prefer al dente. The sauce was delicious and the meatballs were good. My plate looked funny to me as there were two meatballs. I am used to seeing odd numbered meatballs on pasta for presentation. OG has a special where they serve a tennis ball size meatball, quantity of one. Other places serve three meatballs. Seeing two was a surprise. 4/5 The bacon and clam pizza was good. The first pizza that came to the table was burnt, and when I showed it to the waiter, he agreed that it was burnt and asked that another pizza be sent to the table. Truthfully, there weren't enough clams on there to get a clam taste. It looked more like a bacon pizza and tasted only of bacon. I would not recommend this pizza if you are truly looking for the clam experience. 3/5 The rose was good. 5/5 Overall score is 4/5. They cooked another pizza since the first one was burnt. The soft noodles caused the star drop. Italian restaurants know not to overcook the pasta. Our waiter was great and helpful. We enjoyed our meal and will go back again. My favorite item was the calamari. The calamari was excellent! If you enjoy Italian food, you will enjoy the food here. I did see people wearing jeans too. Please give them a try.

The cocktails weren't great. Maybe the bartender's a bit heavy-handed, but the Tiramisu Espresso Martini just tasted like straight-up coffee liqueur. The waitress was nice enough to switch my drink for a sweeter one, but that one still came through as mostly just alcohol with no real flavor to balance it out. The food, on the other hand, was pretty good. The Gulf shrimp dish was the standout--unique and delicious. The fried calamari came with marinara sauce, which was a bit of a surprise. I would've preferred cocktail sauce. The tiramisu was fine, but again, a little too boozy and too moist for my taste. However, I think others might really enjoy it. Overall, it's worth trying for the food and service, but maybe skip the cocktails and go for a wine instead.

Sat at the bar today due to not knowing the attire was quite fancy. Ordered the mussels as an appetizer. Best muscles I've ever had, granted, they are the only ones I've ever had. My brother got the pepperoni pizza, said it was good but didn't eat the crust. It must not have been that good. I got the angel hair pasta, great stuff. Very slurpable.

New Italian restaurant located at Stovehouse. Lovely decor, upscale and mid century modern. Large bar area & lovely covered patio area. Very crowded & loud, which is expected for a new restaurant. They do not serve bread; if you ask for it they can bring you a crostini for a $1 up charge with no butter or oil given after asked. Our sever was fantastic and very attentive despite having many tables. We ordered the calamari appetizer. Crispy lightly breaded. Yum. Chicken Parmesan -- Huge serving; could be for two. Crispy chicken breast, cooked perfect, with melty cheese and served over a bed of spaghetti. Mom gave it a 9/10, prefers her chicken cutlet a little thinner. I ordered the 1/2 roasted chicken with sweet potatoes purée and roasted root veggies. Fantastic! The purée is amazing and goes well with the honey roasted chicken kind of tastes like an upscale rotisserie. Bolognese-- my husband ordered this dish. Fresh made noodles with your classic meat sauce. The noodles were delicious and tasted authentic. Overall, a nice addition to HSV food scene. I'd like to sit on the patio next visit!

A group of us came for lunch on a Friday. We had a reservation for when they opened. Our waitress was awesome. Very attentive. They had great lunch options. I opted for their pizza and salad lunch option. Also got their tiramisu which was fantastic!! Others got pasta and sandwiches and everything looked fantastic! Definitely will come back and it was a great space!

Amazing food and service (& wine). I love the architecture, it's a beautiful establishment. Mike was our server and remember us, incredible. Plus he was the a great conversationalist. I had chicken and mushroom Alfredo - with hot oil on the side. I can't wait to come back and try more of their menu.

This is a really cute date night spot! It is a new business, but they are doing a great job! Our waiter, Christian was super personable and helpful! He gave great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the menu! The manager also accommodated us greatly for an inconvenience during our visit. I really appreciate the amazing service here! The food was also fantastic! For appetizers, we had the flatbread and whipped ricotta. No notes on the flatbread! It was spicy and delicious! The ricotta was good, but it was on the sweet side. I probably wouldn't order it again. For the main courses, we had the bolognese and eggplant parmigiana. We loved them both! Sadly, I did not get a picture because the presentation was pretty standard haha. The tiramisu was fantastic! The portion was very shareable! The cocktails we ordered - guava marg and negroni- were not anything to write home about honestly. I expected better cocktails... but the wine list was extensive! We ordered a cabernet sav and enjoyed it a lot! Overall, this was a great experience! I recommend giving it a try for an upscale date night!

Gracious hospitality. Clean venue. A little cramped. The hospitality was nice. Very polite server. The food was tasteful. Food portions were a bite or 2 smaller than I prefer. I will be back to try again.

I had the mussel appetizer for dinner. Amazing and priced right. Other entrees in our group seemed a little steep. But the atmosphere is great. $18 specialty drink. Prices are a touch high, but you pay for the experience. Just know what you're getting. Our server was AMAZING!!!!!!!

I mean... I had really high hopes. It's not a public equity place and the owners have an Italian name. However the food is mid. I had the eggplant parm and that was a lot and pretty good ... so I do recommend that although the sauce is super ... and I mean SUPER bland The beef I have is a. Atmosphere blows. It's not the least bit romantic. From the outside it looks nice! I thought it would be a cool Italian restaurant. Inside... looks stark white... bland as heck, jammed seats on super uncomfortable chairs! Loud as any restaurant I've ever been in. Zero noise abatement. And the service tried to rush you out. Twice we had to stop the waiter from taking our appetizers. Then the third time he took it without asking... we were sharing food on the app plate so we didn't want it taken. Drinks were crazy expensive. 18 for an old fashioned or expresso martini. Wine is ridiculous, low quality wines for high quality prices. Just a very uncomfortable experience designed to change over the seats and optimize money (that's why I thought it was a private equity place). Certainly NOT ITALIAN style restaurant. I would give it one star. But the eggplant was mid. Appetizers... don't get the potato gnocchi with prosciutto. You literally get 6 little tiny gnocchi with perhaps one slice of deli prosciutto chopped up over it for 18 bucks. You get no bread with the meal (like ... you know... any Italian restaurant). You feel cheapened by the experience. Just cattle being overcharged for average at best food.

The good New place new everything The bad Be prepared to freeze in the dining room 96 degrees today and I almost froze The ugly We'll the food is just meh. 24$ for rigatoni dish that was very small to start with, no bread service asked for some and was brought at slice of bread toasted on grill w no butter or olive oil then charged a 1$ Drink prices are out of line with the area as well Good luck to the owners but I'm afraid the building will be another Mexican restaurant in 2-3 years. 2nd visit and last. Go to carrabbas better value and taste in my opinion My meal with tip 45$. Rigatoni,Small salad and iced tea. Me and wife could eat two pasta dishes at carrabbas. NO WAY this place deserves 5 stars Lived here in area for 30 years so take my opinion ownership for what it's worth. Need to lower your prices on everything if you want survive here

My family ate at the Huntsville restaurant this afternoon for lunch. My daughter ordered a pasta dish with a garlic sauce. She also ordered bread, an appetizer, a salad and a dessert (we weren't looking for a free lunch) My wife and I ordered full meals as well. My daughters pasta entree tasted like the garlic had been burnt while making the sauce (which is easy to do). When we told the waitress and manager there was just a sorry we won't do anything. The manager was a complete jerk when we asked him to smell it because you could smell burnt garlic. For a new restaurant in Huntsville it was completely piss poor customer service. I would never want a manager like this to run one of my restaurants. The manager, minimum, should have asked to remake the dish, but most concerned restaurants would have take the meal off or atleast offered a dessert since she couldn't eat her meal because of the taste. Lunch for 3 was $150 and for that, it should be acceptable to the customer to eat. Needless to say we won't be back and will pass along to our friends and family what their feelings are towards their customers. As for the other food, it was ok. Could have gone to Carrabba's and each ordered the extra $10 meal per person and it still wouldn't have cost $150. Thought maybe this was a higher end Italian restaurant but was severely disappointed.

This place is really awesome. Best Margherita Pizza that I have had in a long time. Reminds me of Italy...not kidding. Charred crust, nice balance, buffalo mozzarella, great sauce, fresh basil and olive oil. Maybe some Neapolitan seasoning in there...maybe a hint. I sat at the bar which is nice and Ashley is a great bartender. Great service and wonderful authentic atmosphere. Looking forward to going back.

Good service but horribly overpriced and food questionable. Two bowls of pasta and a sweet tea ~$70. Husband had the bolognese, it was good compared to the Chicken Alfredo. The chicken alfredo literally tasted like it was frozen out of a bag. The chicken looked like the they got it pregrilled cut out of a bag. There is no cream in the Alfredo unless very very little. Pretty much felt like pasta water garlic and parm. There is no medley with the mushrooms, it's just baby bellas. Salt was pretty much non existent. Was very excited about this place and definitely lied to the server when asked how it was. Kinda just nodded and tried to save the broken sauce at the bottom of the bowl. They did send me home with a sweet tea to go ?

The food was amazing! The braised short ribs were the most tender cooked beef I have ever had. The meatballs with the spaghetti were amazing. The service was also amazing. We went in Friday night without a reservation and they got us seated right away. The waiter was great and had some recommendations that we will try next time as we already checked out the menu and had an idea of what we wanted. The placed is well decorated, tons of window seating and not a loud restaurant at all.

Food was all delicious but the pastas were all really overpriced for the dishes and amount of food that you get. They do have some homemade pastas and a long wine list. Highly recommend getting a reservation. We got the whipped ricotta appetizer, loved it. Pappardelle bolognese and rigatoni alla vodka were both great as well. While the food was great it was hard to get past the price of the pasta when other menu items (like the pizzas) were reasonably priced, the atmosphere was fairly loud, and Stovehouse parking on weekends is difficult.

Ambiance and service was great but the food was disappointing especially after great reviews. My pork chop was so tough a d chewy, I didn't finish it even after taking most of it home. The calimari which I was looking forward to was tasteless and whatever the other rings that were included was unidentifiable. I don't leave reviews as a rule but spending 70.00 spurred me to this time. Wish I'd made it on an evening with entertainment so it would not have been a wasted experience.

we so wanted this restaurant to be good. First off, I lived in Europe visited Italy several times. They say Their Restaurant is a slice of Italy, will at this restaurant you pay a $1 a slice for bread, and a $1 for butter or olive oil! Hey, Thats NOT a slice of Italy. ordered the gnocchi as an app. I believe the gnocchi was fresh but it had a weird bitter flavor, not good. Caesar salad was subpar, no anchovies here. My husband ordered The rigatoni with Vodka sauce, $27 I think there were about 12 rigatoni on his plate.I thought the sauce was pretty good. I ordered the bolognese the noodles were fresh, the sauce was lacking, the spices were off, still edible. I rarely right reviews, but I want this restaurant to succeed. It's like no one taste the food before it goes out. paid $100+ with no alcohol. Last word....If you charge the prices you do it better be fantastic!!!

Wonderful restaurant for lunch on Sunday. The service was impeccable. My husband and I shared a salad & main dish; our server thought of everything (an extra dish, etc.) we needed before we asked. The lasagna was delicious! We'll definitely be coming back to this restaurant soon.

Huntsville definitely has a lack of truly great Italian food. This place is okay. I sampled three entrees- all pasta dishes- they were not bad, but they were not great. Given the price point, I I probably would not go again but if I did, it wouldn't be the worst thing to happen. The service was inconsistent- very friendly and well informed but would disappear for long stretches. They definitely could have sold another three drinks and desserts if they had checked back more consistently. I may go back in a few months just to see if the new restaurant bumps smooth out - but only because it is close by.

Kaye B.

Yelp
Great ambiance, food, and service. True Italian flavors like I experienced travelling in Italy. Everything made fresh. For lunch had the whipped ricotta with candied pistachios- light and savory served with toasted crostini, cavatelli with lamb sausage and Rabe, and topped off with a cappuccino. Cavatelli a tad spicy from chili flakes but doable. For mixed cocktail went with a vanilla infused old fashion with orange bitters. Not my typical selection and will try either the espresso martinis or wine. They a great Italian wine selection.

We searched for a new restaurant that we had not been to - there are so many in the greater Huntsville/Madison area. We came upon Osteria Luca in the Stovehouse complex. OH! WOW! We loved the architecture and cool interior design and decor. We LOVED the wine bottle displays on two walls and the exposed heavy beams in the ceiling. The Menu was Killer!! It was hard to decide what to order as EVERYTHING looked fabulous. Our waiter was top drawer - Mike - who we had met in Huntsville a year or so ago - it was great to reconnect with him at Osteria Luca. After deciding on a bottle of wine, Rocca Delle Macie, "Chianti Classico", Sangiovese, Tuscany 2018 (their wine menu is primarily Tuscan, Italian, Piemonte - by the glass or bottle) The Crispy Calamari was a perfect appetizer to start with. My husband had Chicken & Wild Mushroom Fettuccine Alfredo while I opted for the Linguine Vongole - both were cooked to perfection serving portions ample. We felt spoiled, well cared fo,r and happy to find such a cool new place to dine. This is a place where you want to really sit back and take the evening in slowly, like the fine wine we enjoyed.

I love the atmosphere here and the service was good. The in house made pappardelle pasta dish was good. The brussel sprouts appetizer was pretty good, but they are lacking a bread option. I feel like nearly all Italian restaurants have bread, either complimentary or that you can order off the appetizer menu, so this felt lacking to me. The wine was delicious, good pours too. And I enjoyed my tiramisu.

Good ambiance and cleanliness although there was a little splash of dried red sauce on the edge of our table. Our server was pleasant but not terribly helpful: she asked if this was our first time, we said yes, and she offered no introduction of the restaurant or guidance for the menu. While our food was certainly edible, it was not as good as other non-chain Italian restaurants we have visited with similar or even lower prices. My husband's lasagne was good, not great. Most disappointing was my fettuccine Alfredo with chicken and mushrooms. Excessive garlic overwhelmed every other possible flavor, and the amounts of cream and Parmesan were anemic. Our Cacio e Pepe flatbread was definitely not worth the price. Based on our three items, the prices seem to be disconnected from the quality of the dishes.

The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken parmigiana and the margarita pizza and both were fantastic. The breading on the chicken was super flavorful. Our waitress was very kind and could tell she enjoys her job. Quick service as well- everything came out soon after ordering. The ambiance was very nice. We sat at the pizza bar and loved it. We also ordered the brownie sundae which was very delicious- the vanilla gelato is VERY vanillay and yum!

A week ago today, I ordered food for four (and one dessert). Osteria LuCa had become my favorite place to dine-in or order take-out. My oldest daughter had just returned home from being out of the country for 10 months, and I highly suggested we get food from this new restaurant she'd never had. Unfortunately, my salmon had a hair on it - the hair was on the underside of the fish. Thankfully, that bite turned over before I put it in my mouth. I called the restaurant immediately and spoke with Emma. She apologized profusely for the issue and said she'd report it to the kitchen. I asked her to speak with the manager and get back to me. I still haven't heard back from anyone. I spent over $100 for our meals, and we trashed them. My girls didn't want to eat their meals after seeing the hair in my food. They laughed at me, because I had hyped this place so much and we couldn't even eat the food. I'm really surprised that management didn't get back to me.

We ate here and while it was ok, we were not blown away with anything. The food was good, but I can't say it was exceptional and it was no more tasty than the other Italian chains. Probably the most disappointing thing was the cost. The entrees for the most part are a few to several dollars more than comparable ones at other Italian chains. And nothing was included with your entree. We had to pay $2 for some bread. A side salad was not offered. My wife and I split the $13 Caesar salad. When it arrived it had very, very little dressing. We asked for more and were surprised when we were charged $1 for that. No real reason for us to return here.

Don't waste your money! This is easily the most overpriced Italian restaurant in Huntsville. The lunch menu doesn't even include any pasta, just sandwiches and pizza. Although the pasta is advertised as house-made, the spaghetti neither looked nor tasted homemade. The Bolognese sauce was overly salty and had a strange flavor. This place is far from authentic Italian. For $27 a plate, you could make a much better pasta dish at home for a fraction of the cost.

Recommended by a colleague, I couldn't wait to try out this new Italian restaurant... I was not disappointed! First of all, the restaurant is beautiful! The service was amazing! Even better, the food was out of this world! I will definitely be back! We had first rate service from Tawny, she was very attentive and knew the menu inside and out... This first restaurant and I highly recommend you check it out! I will definitely be back again and again!

The food was delicious. Loved the tomato soup. My friend and I were there for lunch and we ordered the lunch special. A cup of soup and a 1/2 grilled cheese sandwich. We will definitely be back! Our waitress was so polite and always had a smile.

I have eaten at Osteria's three times in two weeks, which is an excellent indicator of my feelings. The salads are remarkable, as are the pizzas. The service is excellent. Everything is made from scratch, including pasta. We are lucky to have such a prestige restaurant.
