For a quick bite to a long leisurely lunch or dinner - Luca's is the place to be! Luca's pizza, selection of CRAFT beer and specially selected winelist always makes you feel as if you are in food heaven! He is always ready to smile and greet you by name and this should definitely be considered as one of the... More

We recently had a birthday party at Luca's Italian Resturant in Paulshof, Sandton. No effort was spared to accomodate our wishes on food and wine selection for our party selection. Luca himself was on hand with his friendly and attentive staff to ensure our special day went without any problems. Our party really enjoyed the special ambiance and friendly service.... More

Prices might be a little on the high side but I believe this is because they only use the best produce. I would highly recommend... More

Luca's definitely make the best tasting salads in town and COLD beer is served with awesome focaccio-perfect Sunday chill time. We are always greeted warmly regardless of how crowded. One of our favourite places under the trees.

Have been going to Luca's for years - always guaranteed of a good pasta - they serve the best penne arriabata. Their salads are good but it's Lucas special dressing that makes them good. Service can be a bit slow though - but i overlook it as the pasta is so good!

I have visited this place for a few reasons. Firstly with friends and secondly for a year-end function at work. The food was consistent both times however I do find the starters quite small. The melanzane parmigiana for example is an extremely small portion which is overpriced. The vegetarian selection is good though and the meat dishes are supposed to... More
