LUKA Delights put me on a Smile Post-breakup!

Hey, foodies! I recently discovered a hidden gem that I just have to share with you all. It's called Ristorante Luka, and trust me, it's a dining experience you won't want to miss! Picture this: a charming restaurant tucked away in a corner, blending the best of Italian and Japanese cuisine. The owners and chefs are Japanese, and rumor has it that their parents own a renowned Italian restaurant in Tokyo. How cool is that?

Now, let's get to the good stuff—the food! Prepare to be dazzled by every single dish they serve. I went with a group of friends and colleagues, and we were all blown away by the flavors and presentation. Seriously, guys, you have to try it for yourselves! The ambiance is cozy and comfortable, and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly.

🍞🍞🍞 I absolutely adore the complimentary bread they serve! The sourdough bread paired with their homemade cream is truly appetizing and delicious.

🐟 Tuna Tartare

I highly recommend this dish! The tender and smooth tuna sashimi, combined with crab meat, avocado, and a unique sauce, is truly appetizing! It's a real delight! 🔥

🍕🍕🍕 Diavola

You can tell that their pizzas are handmade with love. The crust has a satisfying chewiness without being dry. Topped generously with cheese and ham, even four of us couldn't finish one pizza!

🦑🦑🦑 Squid Ink Pasta

This dish is amazing! The pasta is soft, chewy, and cooked just right. It's filled with fresh squid, and the sauce is incredibly special. You can taste the richness of squid ink, cheese, and tomato. It's fragrant and intense. I had no problem finishing a plate on my own!

🍕 Prosciutto E Rucola Burrata

The pizza looks absolutely divine! The crust has a smoky flavor, and it's topped with burrata cheese, arugula, and slices of ham. Every bite is incredibly satisfying.

🍝 Mentaiko Pasta

The mentaiko spaghetti is bursting with flavor! The creamy sauce has a delightful mix of umami from the sea. It's a must-try!

🧆 Meatball

The tomato-based beef meatballs are incredibly satisfying.

🍰 Rhum Baba

The cake is soaked in a generous amount of rum, but I feel like the tiramisu would have been even more delicious.

🍰 Dessert recommendation: Tiramisu!

It's truly delicious! The tiramisu is moist and soft, with a creamy texture that isn't overly sweet. It received unanimous praise from our group!

We also tried the aglio olio and fried calamari, both were prepared to perfection with generous portions.

🍷🍷🍷 They have a wide selection of cocktails and red wines. I highly recommend coming in the evening for Happy Hours. It's a perfect place for a romantic date too!

Soooo! Let's make a date, gather your crew, and head over to Ristorante Luka. Indulge in the harmonious blend of Italian and Japanese flavors, relish the cozy ambiance, and let the attentive staff take care of you. Trust me, it's an experience you'll be talking about for a long time. Bon appétit and happy feasting!
