Pistachio Cake
Fernanda L.

Bar Luca was an unexpected stop for dinner and now has become one of my favorite spots on the beach. Such a cute little restaurant inside the hotel lobby. Service, atmosphere and food were all great. Complimentary olives to start and with a spicy kick to them. The Burrata salad was perfectly dressed and was pretty big. The bread service was great, by itself or to soak up the salad dressing or olive oil with the olives, bread was fresh and crunchy. The pasta was as good as it gets too, good meat to pasta ratio and flavor on point. The Chianti by the glass paired well with all the above. Heard they have a good happy hour so looking forward to checking that out. Oh, and dessert was delicious, the Pistachio cake reminded me of a cannoli, so good!

Bar Luca you've kinda become a staple to me now. I love your daily happy hours and dinner menu just as much. Great specials and bites! You can't go wrong with the chicken wings, Burrata salad, parpadelle bolognese, and the pistachio cake for dessert. Their pizza is great too if you like the thick crust Detroit style. Always a great time when I come here. Fast, great service, and the food is always served hot. Which is super important to me. And a daily happy hour even on weekends is great! Love it!

As a fan of chef santo since Lucali, he brings his talents to bar Luca. Low key, romantic, and authentic- the best Italian spot in Miami Beach. Inside a hotel the ambience is surprisingly warm and inviting for both locals and tourists. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Apps that can't be missed: burrata, grilled octopus, fried calamari, and bread service which shocked us all by good it was. The pasta is an absolute must. The greatest bolognese with short rib and the spicy rigatoni is literally chefs kiss. Dimly lit with great people watching, bar Luca is an absolute must. My loyalty to chef santo continues he is truly a culinary gem.

Inside
Morgan C.

We had a fantastic lunch at Bar Luca! The food and drinks were fantastic but the interior, ambiance, and cleanliness need a little help to match - otherwise it would have been 5 stars. It doesn't look like much from outside and you may not see it if you're not looking for it as it's inside the little hotel, but there were signs. It was surprisingly empty at lunch time and they were in the middle of stocking the bar. Even being empty service was a little slow. There was also a noticeable musty smell in the restaurant overall and bathrooms were not the cleanest, which did not really fit the restaurant and did not do it justice. That being said, our food and drinks were wonderful. Everything came out incredibly fast and portions were huge for lunch! The food was fresh and the drinks were very well made.

Portobello Caprese Sandwich Brunch

Located inside a hotel with indoor and outdoor seating. Service was excellent. I loved their portabella sandwich with fries.

Great find!!!!

Stopped in for a drink and it was so pleasant we stayed for dinner. Service was excellent, informative and helpful. The outdoor terrace was intimate and subdued, no loud music or crowds, just simply inviting. Our drinks were delicious and dinner was perfectly executed. This one's a keeper!!!!

Bolognese Grilled Cheese Dinner

I can't say enough amazing things about this place! So glad our hotel was next to Bar Luca! The drinks, vibe and service were incredible. We went for happy hour, I ordered the bolognese grilled cheese, it was fabulous. I'm already craving another one. So unique and tasty! We sat at the bar and were greeted right away. We loved this place so much we went again the next day! The Sicilian wedding was probably one of the best drinks I've ever had. Bruschetta and calamari were also very good. My man loved his pasta dish and drinks as well. Thank you for a great time!!

Best pasta ever !!! Wasn't expecting everything to be so good. Service was also amazing

Bolognese Grilled Cheese
Joanna V.

We walked in on a Tuesday night, not knowing what to expect. The restaurant is tucked in past a hotel lobby. It's located inside a hotel and offers both outdoor and indoors eating. After promptly being seated we were offered the menu and Happy Hour menu. We decided to order 4 dishes from the Happy Hoir menu. Everything ordered was delicious. The crispy calamari was super fresh. The chicken skewers had a lovely pesto sauce. the bruschetta was delightful with served with a healthy amount of burrata. But by far my favorite that we ordered was the Bolognese grilled cheese. It was very filling and had a great taste. The service here was also stand out. Every waiter or staff member we encountered was very pleasant and helpful. Overall, this is an amazing choice if you're in the area. And I think by far the best choice for a happy hour in the Miami Beach area. I definitely want to come back and try more dishes off the regular menu.

Baked Chicken Wings Dinner
Evelina K.

Nice chill spot in Miami Beach. Good atmosphere outside and inside. The food is great just like we have come to expect from this chef. This has all the making of a local gem. This place is from the same chef as the famous Lucali which received a Michelin bib gourmand award. My personal favorite was the chicken Alfredo pasta. Absolutely recommend!

Bolognese Grilled Cheese Dinner
Bella M.

They have a great happy hour! We way over ordered in our excitement, and got the bolognese grilled cheese, crispy calamari, and wings from the happy hour menu. We also got the cast iron chicken from the regular menu. Everything was delicious and the portions were generous. I would come here again

We had an exceptional experience hosting a large group dinner here as part of our Sales Kickoff…read more(~250 people). We did a full buyout of the space, and from start to finish everything exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely fabulous, the space was fun and vibrant, and it perfectly captured the local Miami vibe we were hoping to share with our team. The service was truly top-tier -- attentive, organized, and seamless, even with a large group. Our attendees had an amazing time, with plenty of great food, great energy, and lots of pictures and memory-making throughout the evening. It was the perfect way to round out a week of corporate meetings, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend for both group events and special occasions.

This bar is super vibey! Great ambiance. It's located within a hotel. You order a drink at the bar…read morewhich is decorated in a very retro cool way and grab a seat in their outdoor patio. There's everything from a hammock to standard outdoor furniture. We ordered a few drinks throughout the night, thoughts on all: - Breakfast in the Moonlight: delicious, tastes like a tiki drink, easy to drink and balanced -East of Eden: I didn't love this one as much but the bartender recommended it so it must be popular. It gives me cucumber water at the spa vibes but in a cocktail form. -Always Summer Negroni: I absolutely loved this drink! My favorite one of the night. So cool because it's a clear drink. Really nicely balanced cocktail, not too bitter. -La Bamba Colada: Tastes like a piña colada! But not overly sweet. No dairy for my fellow lactose intolerant friends (just coconut milk). At some point we also ordered a salad, the Shaker Salad with mahi mahi - I liked it! Friendly bartender and staff and overall great place to stop in and grab a drink! They have pretty reasonable prices too.
