Tucked away in an unassuming strip mall is one of those places you almost don't want to tell people…read moreabout--because then you'll have a harder time getting a table. Luca's Ristorante is a hidden gem that proves you should never judge a restaurant by its parking lot. Not long after we were seated, we were greeted by Luca -- a Luca and not the Luca. Still he was warm, welcoming, and genuinely passionate about his restaurant, taking the time to walk us through the menu and checking in throughout the meal without ever hovering. Luca's has a partial liquor license, offering a modest wine selection but is otherwise being BYOB. As we were told with a smile, they're much more interested in what's ON your plate than what's IN your glass. We started with two excellent appetizers. The arancini, already a family favorite, were crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and disappeared from the table faster than anyone was willing to admit. The Polpette, Luca's signature meatballs with pine nuts and raisins, certainly earned the praise they've received from NJ.com as some of the best in the state. Even if raisins in meatballs sound unusual, trust the process. The restaurant proudly calls itself "A Taste of Ischia," the beautiful volcanic island in the Bay of Naples, and the seafood absolutely lives up to that promise. My squid ink pasta with octopus (the Polypus) was outstanding, with perfectly tender octopus and beautifully balanced flavors. The scallops were buttery, sweet, and cooked to perfection, while the Ischia -- loaded with mussels, clams, and calamari -- was every seafood lover's dream. The rest of the menu proved just as impressive. The Pappardelle, featuring burrata and a rich Bolognese sauce, was a huge hit, while the Romolo, a comforting combination of chicken, pasta, bacon, and sauce, was another winner that had no leftovers to speak of. If you somehow still have room after dinner, Luca's offers a nice assortment of gelato. But do yourself one favor: don't leave without ordering a cappuccino. Rich, foamy, and expertly made, it's the perfect finale to a memorable meal. If you find yourself in Somerset, just a few turns off Routes 287 or 1, make the stop. You'll be greeted by a wonderful staff, treated to outstanding food, and very likely leave wondering how a restaurant this good has been hiding in a strip mall all along.

It's expensive, and while the food tastes good, I sometimes question the quality of the ingredients, though I'm not entirely sure. Overall, the food is consistently delicious, no matter what you order. The service has been good every time, no complaints there. What brings this down to three stars is the ambiance and the price. The wraps are excellent but overpriced. Plus, the dining area on the other side of the restaurant is apparently closed, so there's no real option to eat in. That's a missed opportunity, it could be a cool, niche spot, but it falls short. If you're grabbing takeout or planning to eat in your car, this place is worth it. But for dining in or a full experience, you're better off going somewhere else or ordering catering.

I called on a Sunday evening and to my surprise...NO WAIT! We arrived around 7:45 pm and had a table immediately. There are lots of tables indoors and also a pretty large outdoor section as well. I peeped a private room as well for events, which is good to know. The inside gives a rustic vibe, but a bit more elevated. We realized that they have Happy Hour all day on Sunday, so I grabbed one of their many beer options and my girlfriend chose their $7 Margarita. We also ordered their handmade mozzarella sticks to start, which were absolutely amazing. Crisped to perfection and a flavorful sauce on the side. For our main meals, I decided on the B2 Wings with Old Bay and she had the fish tacos. The wings came out nice and crispy, so I will definitely have to try their Mojito wings the next time we stop in. The fish tacos were generously portioned and also very fresh and tasty. I can't wait to stop back and try more food! I'll have to remember to plan ahead with a reservation for a Friday or Saturday, haha

They have great happy hour specials, and everything we've ever tried from the main menu has been spot on. The pizzas are wood-fired to perfection, the sandwiches are delicious, and their salads are super fresh. During our most recent visit, the happy hour mozzarella sticks and Old Bay wings were a hit! Crispy and perfectly flavored. They have ample seating in the indoor dining room, and also have a lovely outdoor seating area with a view of Farrington Lake!
