Luca Turci is a small restaurant right off of Park Ave. The dining room is cozy with a relaxing vibe. When we were sat down, bread and water was immediately brought to our table. The service throughout the meal was great. The food, however, was underwhelming. The bread was cold and dry. The bread was served with olive oil and it lacked flavor. We asked for balsamic and salt to add flavor to the oil and bread. For an appetizer, we ordered the classic bruschetta. It was very fresh but it needed salt. For my entree, I ordered the pesto pasta. While the pasta was freshly made, it was overcooked and mushy. The sauce was decent, but there was way too much salt. The pasta was also cold by the time it arrived at our table. The chef did send out complementary cheese with balsamic, which was appreciated. Overall, the food was overrated and it was expensive. I've spoken to friends that have also dined here and they agree. Bar Italia and Prato are much better options for Italian. If it wasn't for the excellent service, the star rating would've been lower. read more

BEE-WARE!! Let's start with the food was good. However this experience really left a bad taste in our mouths. We were scheduled for a 5p Magical Dining experience that was for the outdoor patio and although we asked for indoor we were kindly told no despite the potential for rain in the forecast. They would talk to us if the rain became a problem they said. That was fine and understandable. What was ultimately troubling was the warning that did not come with sitting on the patio. There is clearly a bee problem here as multiple tables had multiple bees flying around them. As someone, as well as someone else in our party, are deathly allergic to bees and it made it very uncomfortable to enjoy our meal. Ultimately we asked for our food to go which the wait staff said they would look into. The wait staff attempted to keep it light hearted with jokes however we were very uncomfortable and could not enjoy anything especially with bees landing on our food and beverages. After a few minutes and some painstakingly moments with bees landing on us, the manager asked if we would like to move inside. We said sure but this should have been offered from the get go as they could clearly tell how uncomfortable we were. We moved inside and frankly we could not truly enjoy our meal after this experience. And to top it off, nothing on the meal was comped (including a soda that had to be replaced not once, not twice, but three times due to bees getting stuck in the soda bottle!). So if you have allergies to bees, BEE prepared and bring an EpiPen and don't expect much from the restaurant to be able to accommodate all of those outside. This was definitely a Nightmare Dining experience and was far from magical. read more

Beautiful location and decor. But please make it make sense that my husband and I went with friends and he ordered a Caesar salad, and fettuccine pasta with some wine and a beer, I didn't eat or drink a thing, and the total was $126 for my husband alone. It is not authentic Italian food, which is fine, but be aware. The table focaccia was dry. The bruschetta was not authentic. The bread was soggy and in our opinion had too much balsamic drizzle. He also got the burrata which was served fried on the outside and came with ground beef in a sauce. The cheese pull was impressive, but again, that is not your authentic burrata. His pasta? He said it felt like the sauce could have been out of a jar. No animal protein either. The tiramisu was not enjoyable. Tiramisu doesn't have chunks of chocolate on top. And they serve it in a terracotta looking plant pot. It made the table question how they must clean them since those are so porous or if they just toss them after single use? They did bring out "tiramisu ice cream" in a martini glass with a candle for our friend since it was her birthday which was a nice gesture. She said it tasted like they called it tiramisu but it was normal Java chip. Yes, we went during magical dining. But the plates and meals were coming out so fast that it was odd. Makes it feel like less of an experience. The waiter, who was also the manager, was not smiling or warm. He was matter of fact and not what would hope for in a server experience. When we engaged with him he opened up a bit but it felt like he was annoyed to be there. We can't believe that we paid $126 for my husbands meal. Yes, the ambiance is lovely, but we certainly won't be back. read more

Came here for magical dining and I'm glad I got to check this place out and I will definitely be back for more!! Ceroni was very good and knowledgeable and helped me pick out a great glass of wine which I fell in love with!!

This is our 2nd time dining at this restaurant. Doesn't matter if it's for business or personal outing to eat - it is an elegant experience. The service is top notch. (Ruan) our waiter had all of the recommendations and helped us pick our wine of the day. We brought our daughter and she enjoyed herself as well. They do not have things to cater to kids but we knew that walking in. The restaurant is definitely geared more towards a date night vibe or lunch. We do not get out to Winter Park as much as we use to but definitely one of our go to places for sure. read more

Went for a bday dinner with a total of 8 people. We were immediately seated with our group, as we had reservations. When we were sat down, bread and water was immediately brought to our table. The service throughout the meal was exceptional, as the waiter was very attentive. The food, however, was underwhelming. The bread was served with just plain olive oil( no herbs or balsamic). The same type bread was used for our bruschetta(not toasted) (it almost looked like sliced sourdough), which made for a soggy appetizer. For my entree, I ordered the mushroom tagliatelle, which was tasty, but not impressive. While the pasta is said to be freshly made, it tasted a bit heavy /mushy. Overall, the ambience is great/intimate/romatic, but the food was underwhelming. Not sure if it was a combination of the wine with the oil and pasta, but both my husband and I had a stomach ache by the time dessert arrived. The dessert was the highlight of the night, as I ordered the Tiramisu, which came in a terracotta pot, with chocolate on top, which was original and very tasty. read more

Went for magical dinning and have a magical experience, Luca Turci is located on Park Ave in Winter Park another italian gem in Orlando own by the same owner of their sister restaurant Turci Pasta.featuring hand made pasta, they offer a unique expanded menu and ambiance with unique italian flavors. For appetizer I got Turci burrata caprese salad. For main course I got the pumpkin ravioli and fot dessert I got the tiramisu. Everything was so fresh and flavorful. They serve great portions as well. Staff is so friendly and welcoming, this place is perfect for any occasion with great vibes. read more

We came in for dinner and had a great experience. The restaurant is so pretty and they have nice outdoor seating. Service was good. They started us off with fresh focaccia bread and olive oil. I had a glass of prosecco. For my entree, I got the mushroom tagliatelle. The sauce was rich and plentiful. The pasta was ultra fresh. The portion size was good. I loved that they had a QR code on the menu so you can see photos of the food. Overall, amazing experience! read more

Luca Turci - Mushroom tagliatelle - Italian Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

Luca Turci absolutely blew me away! Everything was great--you can tell they use quality and fresh ingredients. The outdoor dining area was beautiful, and watching the team make the pasta by hand really showed just how fresh everything is. Highly recommend to make a reservation in advance, it gets busy. My cousin invited me here for a girls' night, and every single dish was so good. They also offer a four-course prix fixe menu for $59! Naturally, we each ordered different items so we could sample as much as possible. It also came paired with a glass of wine with it which was nice! The showstoppers for me were the Burrata Caprese, with that unbelievably fresh pesto, and the Filet Carpaccio--the combination of capers, dressing, and Parmesan practically melted in my mouth. You must get these if you dine here. I loved the Gnocchi Verdi vs the Tagliatelle with mushroom. Both pastas were good, but you can't beat the gnocchi with their three-cheese sauce with prosciutto, walnuts, arugula, and fresh pesto. That combo is absolutely delicious! The tiramisu is not your traditional dish but it had good flavor and of course was so cute looking like a little pot with a plant. I personally preferred the lava cake taste wise. We left with plenty of leftovers so they are generous with their portions. I'll definitely be returning! read more

I went here for my birthday dinner with my family and really enjoyed my experience here. It is on Park Avenue, which was a nice area to be around after dinner especially during the winter time. The service was phenomenal, the server was very attentive and helpful. They also gave us complimentary cheese from the chef which I thought was a nice gesture. In our group we ordered almost every signature item and everyone loved their dishes, with zero complaints. We got the tiramisu at the end which was presented in a whimsical way that my family enjoyed. The atmosphere is very nice, it had a typical fine dining setting. Perfect for a special occasion or date night! I will definitely be coming back. read more

Went here for a celebratory dinner and enjoyed it a lot. We originally accidentally had a reservation for after the restaurant closed and they called us early in the day to inform us and helped us change the reservation to a better time. The restaurant looks gorgeous and the staff were very friendly and attentive. You can even see a chef creating the pasta by the window. The plating of all their food was beautiful as well. We received free focaccia bread w/ olive oil and a plate of cheese as well. I ordered the pumpkin ravioli and it was absolutely delicious! I loved the flavors and the 3 cheese sauce was perfect. I also had the tiramisu for desert and it was different than a traditional tiramisu and served in a fun clay pot. It had a few too many chocolate chips on top for my liking but once I scooped out a few, I loved it. The chocolate chips add a nice bit of texture to the tiramisu. I had a glass of moscato as well and it was very delicious and at a good price point. Even though the food and drinks were great, I hope they do consider changing the type of table cloths they use. Due to the material, you can still see stains from previous diners as the material is not easy to get into the crevices to clean. I did witness them cleaning it with a spray bottle after diners leave, but both the table next to me (that I moved from) and the one I stayed at still had stains. read more

I love Turci in College Park, so when I found out they were opening a location in Winter Park, I was thrilled. Their new location is gorgeous, with a lovely courtyard and stylish, intimate interior. Service was friendly, and I really appreciated how the chef sent out some complimentary cheese with balsamic vinegar as a little bite. LOVE that bread service is included here; the bread was super soft and delicious, but I found myself a little disappointed with the quality of their olive oil. It was very runny, and had none of that rich olive flavor that I would expect; it was also very pale in color. On the other hand, the main course food here was delicious -- everyone enjoyed their dishes and loved the fresh pasta. My Pappardelle Inferno was legit spicy and delicious. I loved the sauce so much. The pasta was delicious and had the right amount of bite and chew. However, it doesn't reheat well; we took home some leftovers, and reheating the pasta overcooked it and it was very soft. Try to finish it while you're there, if you can! Had the lava cake for dessert and it was very decadent and rich. The ice cream on the side was the perfect balance. Would def come again! read more

Me and my friends have been wanting to try out Luca Turci since they opened. I love pasta so I I definitely was excited to try this place out. The outside seating area and entrance is really beautiful. The inside of the restaurant is a bit small our server was very attentive. We all ordered a different pasta dish. I got the penne burrata pesto, the pesto had good flavor and tasted very fresh. I enjoyed the burrata but it seemed a bit out of place because it was cold. I really liked the pumpkin ravioli, it was delicious! Again the burrata felt a bit extra on this dish. The lasagna was pretty good as well. Now that I've tried their pasta, next time I'd like to try some of their signature dishes. read more

Turci restaurants are bar far the best Italian restaurants in Orlando area imo. The pasta and food is fresh, each dish is amazingly delicious and creative in its own way while retaining the Italian flavor palette. Escalated Italian is what I would call it. I would go here on dates or special occasions. Ambiance is romantic outside and the decor is full of life. The service is exceptional and the wine list is adequate to pair well with any part of your meal. This place is a staple and in my Italian food rotation. read more

Food was 5 stars!! But there's a couple stuff they can fix to be 5 starts, for starters was upset that their Lemonade came out in a Minute Maid bottle and although our server was overall good, she never came to check if we wanted more wine when our glass was empty and our waters were never refilled. Over all the place is super cute and small so making reservations is a must! read more

Luca Turci - Italian Near Me - Winter Park, Florida

This is my second time at the location and I've also visited their sister location, Turci Pasta. The service is top notch, from friendly service to quick service. The food is the true highlight. I can confidently say, after having the lasagna twice now, this is the best lasagne I've ever had. We've tried many different appetizers and can't even pick a favorite. We got all three desserts last night. The lava cake and gelato were our favorite. This is definitely a perfect date night spot. read more

The food was very good and definitely the strongest part of the experience. However, the service and overall atmosphere did not meet the same standard. From the start, the ambience felt uninviting. The staff was polite but their interactions felt very forced, which created an awkward tone throughout the evening, something just feels off from the minute they greet you. A small but telling detail was how the clients umbrellas were handled on a rainy night, they were left outside on the wet floor and rain which felt careless and unprofessional. Also, be aware of the strict policies. Your credit card is held for the reservation, with a $20 per person charge if you cancel or modify within 24 hours. We were also charged a 20% "large party" gratuity for a table of five, which felt excessive and unusual. The manager's attitude was unhelpful and concerns were not properly addressed. Overall, the staff gave the impression that they did not want to be there. While technically polite, the service felt unnatural. In short, the food is good, but the service, fees, and overall experience leave a lot to be desired. I later read other reviews expressing similar concerns. Great food alone does not make a great restaurant, service and experience matter just as much. read more

Beef Wellington was delicious and I honestly couldn't finish both halves, so I boxed the other half for lunch to eat the following day. Their purple mashed potato was to die for, so deliciously tasty! Their moscato and complimentary bread was really good! Their pesto pasta dish was delicious as well. The negatives were that the service was awful, the waiter took forever to bring my wine and the bread as well, he was very inattentive. You can't add any meat to your pasta as an upcharge which makes no sense because authentic Italians always have meat in their pasta. So I wouldn't consider this an authentic Italian restaurant, I'd consider it very much so American with some Italian influence. read more

We went to Luca Turci for a birthday and it was a great experience! Whether you sit inside or outside the place looked great. Our server was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. However, the food was really the star of the night! The apps were great and my favorite dish was the chilean sea bass, it practically melts in your mouth when you eat it. After recently going to Italy, eating here felt like we never left! Definitely recommend checking out Luca Turci if you are in the area read more

Came for a date night and I'm glad we did! We made a reservation online (highly recommended) and were seated indoors. They also have outdoor seating on a very cute patio. The inside is small, and the tables quite close together -- I often felt the hair of the girl sitting at the table behind me on my back because of how close we were. Service was very prompt and friendly. When looking at the menu, we wished that there were more (or any) protein options for the pastas. The lasagna was easily the best part of the night. It was DELICIOUS and had my boyfriend hypnotized for days afterwards. Our main reason for coming here was actually the tiramisu. We had seen pictures of a cute little pot and were intrigued. While it wasn't necessarily what we'd call tiramisu (it was much more mousse-y and very very light), it was still yummy. read more

Luca Turci was a very nice dining experience! The ambiance is very nice although small inside with some outdoor seating available. The classic bruschetta was delicious and tasted so fresh. For entrees I ordered the gnocchi verde and it was delicious. One thing I would change is their protein options. There was no option on the menu for adding meat to the pasta dishes. I would recommend making a reservation if you can because as stated seating is limited. Overall, we enjoyed this spot and would return! read more

If you are looking for good fresh pasta this is your place. I had the tagliatelle mushroom pasta which very delicious. The sauce was creamy and flavorful. My husband had the gnocchi verde which is also a very delicious pasta dish to choose from. The Luca salad was okay. It did incorporate lots of different flavors and textures. I did hear their bruschetta is a better appetizer and the bread slices are huge and filling. Their tiramisu dessert was presented in a cute way. It came in a pot so not in a traditional way. It's more of the flavors of a tiramisu in a cup. read more

I've been to the Turci location in College Park multiple times and it's always an outstanding experience. My friend made reservations at this location in Winter Park to give it a try. The look of it is very fancy and has cool aesthetics from the moment you walk up to the outside patio. We had a table inside and at first they gave us the table basically right at the door. We asked if we could have a different table that wasn't directly at the entrance and with a bit of hesitation they did change the table, which we really did appreciate. The waiter was very kind and attentive, but at times we did feel we were being a bit rushed. We ordered from the four course prefixed menu for $59 per person. I believe it was a good deal and we got lots of great options to choose from. Starting with the bread they brought to the table, it was really soft and delicious, however, the oil that it was served with did not have any herbs and seem to be very light in color and that's not typically what you would see in an Italian restaurant. The first meal came, we ordered the Burrata Caprese salad. It was delicious and just as we had it at the other location. The next course was the bruschetta and the melon one was certainly the best one. For our main courses, we each ordered a different dish so we can try each other's. While the pappardelle tomato basil was very tasty, and I especially loved that type of pasta, the pumpkin ravioli was by far the best part of the entire experience. It was so flavorful, so delicious, the textures were pleasant, overall outstanding! For dessert, we ordered the cannoli and the tiramisu, and they ended up bringing over the gelato for my birthday. I was highly disappointed in the tiramisu because the one at the other location comes with a little shot of espresso to pour directly on top of the dessert and it is by far the best tiramisu I've ever had in my life. The one at this location was so disappointing, we barely even ate it. The cannoli and the gelato on the other hand were very delicious and I would highly recommend those! Overall, I had a lovely birthday dinner with my friend and we enjoyed some great Italian food, which is exactly what I wanted. The College Park location is superior in my opinion, but this place did have some good options, especially that pumpkin ravioli! read more

First time visiting This spot and it was a great date night ! I loved how it seemed sort of lowkey and a smaller franchise making it feel more like a private area. Really loved the service and everyone was very helpful, sweet, and attentive. The bread we get for appetizer is delicious with a plate of olive oil. Favorite dish of the night was the pumpkin ravioli ! Delicious , tasty and can taste all the flavors involved in the making.

Beautiful restaurant with great decor and attentive staff. Unfortunately , my pasta was served so hot that it burned my throat. I filmed a short video 5 minutes after it was served, with steam, still coming from the pasta . I also felt a bit uneasy about the experience. I could not finish this meal after burning my throat after the first bite. While i cant say for certain, it made me question whether i was treated differently. Overall, the ambiance and service was strong, but more care with food temperature would have improved my experience. read more

I made a reservation at Luca Turci to celebrate my birthday. The restaurant is small with limited seating inside and some patio seating. So a reservation is probably a good idea. The wait staff was polite though there was quite a lull between courses. We were not in a huge rush so it wasn't a big deal for us. There is music playing low enough for conversation, but given the size of the restaurant and how close the tables are if you're next to a loud party that doesn't use their inside voices then conversations can be hard. The meal started with fresh bread. The bread was absolutely delicious. It was a highlight of the meal. Next we ordered a appetizer of burrata Fritta which was excellent. A classic Bruschettas that was fresh and the tomatoes were delicious. They made sure there was plenty of topping on the bread. Next was a carpaccio called sex appeal that was made with pears. We also enjoyed this dish. The disappointment came with the main course. My daughter and husband both ordered the duck and I had the beef wellington. Let's say I wouldn't go back for the main course. It was disappointing. The meat was not seasoned for the wellington. The side of potatoes while good didn't serve as a nice accompaniment to the beef. My daughter who loves duck didn't finish it. I would return for the appetizers. But, would go else where for my entree. And I know the restaurant is new and kinks have to be worked out. read more

We tried out the new Luca Turci restaurant and really enjoyed it. They just opened in January 2025, and are the same folks behind Turci Pasta in College Park which we are big fans of. We were able to grab a reservation for indoor seating as it was chilly out, but we did see they have heaters outside. The host and servers were very friendly and attentive. This is in the former space where Braccia Pizza was. We were served warm focaccia bread with olive oil, and ordered some Chianti and sparkling water. For appetizer we shared the caprese salad and it was phenomenal. If you like pesto, get this and save some of your bread for it. For entrees we ordered the papardelle tomato basil and the seabass with risotto. WOW. Absolutely delicious. I'm so full typing this but still craving that risotto taste lol. For dessert we ordered the tiramisu because it's the coolest looking dessert I've seen in a while. Very creative. Also, I love that the restaurant has photos of all their items. Can we normalize this please? Well done, Turci family, and welcome to Park Ave. I can't wait to come back. read more

Food is really delicious and the service was good. It's no fuss - very intimate space. Really, it's just small outdoor dining and one room inside .... But it's worth it. We had super early dinner reservations (4:30ish) so we were able to enjoy the nice outdoor patio and have a super lovely meal. We noticed around 5:15 things started to get pretty busy. Highly recommend making a reservation. They seem to book up quickly. I honestly love the pasta here -- it's homemade and you can tell. Bread is also delicious I think I still prefer their other location Turci Pasta on edge water because I'm obsessed with their tiramisu. Overall though, it's a really romantic and pretty place to dine. I'd love to go back sometime. The mushroom dish is phenomenal. (And rich!) read more

Great ambiance outside when it's not too hot out. We loved the bossa nova they were playing and the garden patio vibes. The food was great but I do wish they were more accommodating when it comes to adding protein to the pasta.

social media drew me in and sold me. From the reel, post and tik-told, I wanted to love this place but sadly I didn't- if you want Italian in this area I recommend Pannullus around the corner. We went to celebrate my friends birthday and made the reservations 6 weeks in advance. As you know, Florida weather is unpredictable so I requested interior just to be safe. On the day of, we arrived a few minutes early on a breezy cool day. The patio completely empty so we asked to move our table outside. The hostess was rude loud and non-accommodating. As we sat inside the customer service continued to decline. Food: I've traveled to Italy several times so to continually tell me that this is authentic when I questioned any menu item was quite annoying. By the time I returned home I felt stuffed even though I at a tenth of my marinara pasta (best description-tomato soup with pasta) my friend barely ate their food as well as it was EXTREMELY salty. When we spoke to our waiter-again we were today that that was the authentic way- mind you my friend lived in Italy for years- hence why this place was chosen. The tiramisu was good! I woke up in the middle of the night vomiting, I spoke to my friend the next day and they said their stomach cramped all night and they felt terrible. We left knowing we would never return and walked past the still empty patio seating as only three people had arrived during our dining time. read more
