Was curious to try this place when I saw it near American Dough. I like creamy sauces more than tomato and this was the only creamy sauce entree they seem to have without custom ordering. I also like lemony things. So their Cacio E Pepe was a natural choice for me. Gnocchi is not typically my first pasta choice of texture but Luca's makes the gnocchi and sauce blend so well together . I feel like I would love this sauce on fettuccine and I would like that more but I also think it complements the texture of the gnocchi better too. The shrimp accentuates this dish . So hopefully you like shrimp. They peeled off the shells completely which was nice. The bread had tasty herbs and the salad was refreshing. The sfogliatella was crunchy with tasty custard but the winning dessert has to be the pistachio ricotta cake.. The flavor of the cake is a fun experience in one's mouth and I didn't feel it was too cheesy or too sweet etc. The ingredients are just balanced so well together for a "food harmony." Anyone reading this and seeing that made up term wants to make you give this place a try now! Everything tastes like it was made from scratch. The menu may be relatively small, but they are good at what they do. Staff was friendly and they seem to know their regulars and new people. I also might have been the only one ordering on a random Wednesday night. I believe there is a small seating area but I took out. read more

Luca's Cucina - Some kind of delicious enchilada or burrito. I don't remember but it was yummy. - Italian Near Me - Morton, Pennsylvania

We found Lucas Cucina by accident but what an amazing accident it was!!! This food is DELICIOUS! It is what I imagine eating at your Italian Grandmas house would be like. We ordered simple plates, spaghetti and meatballs, the barata salad and gnocchi! And Baby, the sauce is perfection, the gnocchi is like buttery soft and perfect with the sauce! Oh but these meatballs were my favorite and I'm a picky eater lol. And the owners are the sweetest most kindest people. It is take out only but I promise you will not be disappointed. read more

The food was absolutely phenomenal as it was prepared fresh as you ordered. Everyone that is running it was exceptionally nice and welcoming. When I come back to Philly, I'm making a stop here. read more

Beautifully prepared food. Very nice staff. Always refreshing to meet a paisan that knows how to make a chicken cutlet! Will definitely be coming back! Pollo alla parmigiana - highly recommend read more

If your craving Italian--give this place a try! Old world flavors sure to satisfy the pickiest of palates I.e. me! The chicken pesto panini was one of the best had in these parts, the raviolis were light and airy sautéed in a sage brown butter sauce. The pasta was very good although a bit over sauced but I won't hold that against them. The Burrata salad is perfect for sharing. Good to know: homemade pastas are locally sourced--even the gluten free. Allow at least 60 minutes to freshly prepare your meal. Finally, for the moment, this is take out only. read more

So let me start with this......if you haven't been to Luca's then you're simply doing life wrong. This little single room cookery has been producing the best REAL Italian dishes in Delco hands down, and has been doing so for the last year now. You don't have to listen to all the amazing reasons I'm going to list on why this should be the next place you stop for dinner, do yourself a favor and just go there and check them out and I can guarantee you'll be returning week after week for some of the most amazing food, made from scratch, that you've had in the area. Before I even get to the food and the perfection that Luca brings to his craft, I have to talk about the place and the people. Luca and his wife Stefania run this cute little corner pickup spot and are some of the most genuine and wonderful people you will ever meet. They actually care about what you have to say, are interested in what's going on, and providing you the best Italian meal you can get. This isn't your standard pizza shop or what you would see at a classic Italian-American eatery that you find in bulk in south Philly or the bland type of chains you can find just about anywhere else. In fact, they don't even serve pizza! It has perfectly flavored and prepared classics and other dishes you may have never experienced, all made by hand, just like you would get direct from Italy itself. You will also find your popular staples, but they are not an afterthought and can stand up right next to featured dishes like Luca's individually roasted and perfectly finished ossobuco. The only detractor is the limited hours, but after trying the food and experiencing the care and precision that goes into everything produced here, it's easy to forget that the entire operation is run by two normal human beings who have their own lives outside of the kitchen too, so being open for dinner only five days a week is perfect if you ask me! On to the food! I have waited to write my review here because after coming the first time I knew I would be coming back and wanted to give a full assessment after multiple experiences. The positive part of this is that every time I have come back I only fall in love more and more, and that is a rarity for me with restaurants. Usually I'm on to a new place to try something different and exciting, but not with Luca's. It's perfection through and through and continues to impress me even after ordering some things more than once. I am still currently working my way through the entirety of the menu. So far my current favorites are the romaine hearts grilled and the chicken piccata, but there is something for everyone. Most recently, we ordered for the whole family and I had one of my favorites to start, the romanella grigliata. Charred just around the edges to wilt, but perfectly crisp and then topped with a Caesar dressing from scratch and olive oil, it's so insanely good, sometimes I'll simply just order this! This time we happened to get a side as well, which is something that doesn't usually happen when we order anywhere, but I was very excited to have picked the escarole and beans. Maybe because I love both escarole and beans, or maybe because they were perfectly soft and yet just firm enough to have a bit of bite to them, seasoned just enough to have some flavor of what I think was broth, but preserve the amazingly delicious natural flavors of the greens and the beans. It was also very hearty and could honestly also be a meal all on its own. I then followed it up with the penne melanzane, bringing it together with yet another vegetable-centric dish. I am very critical of eggplant cooked in any form, because done correctly it can be godly, but done wrong can be just completely dismal. I'm happy to say this is the latter and sits easily within the angelic food pantheon with the perfectly cooked eggplant enmeshed in a bed of perfectly sauced penne, rounding out one of the best of many meals I have ordered from here in the short time I have known of this magical place. Nothing is oversauced, all the flavors are perfectly melded and you can tell that they both love into everything they do and you can even just come in and talk to Stefania and Luca from the counter and hang out while everything is prepared. There is such a sense of family, you really feel at home the minute you call or step inside. They can even take care of catering your events, and boy, you should have them handle those too, because all the wonderful care and quality put into their dinners is present in everything they put into an event as well. My point is, go here. Now. If you don't like it, chances are you're wrong somehow. read more

Amazing local restaurant. The owners of Luca's Cucina are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet! It's a husband/wife team; the wife seems to mainly manage the happenings in the front and she told me her husband is the chef. They really know how to make you feel like family, taking the time to have a conversation and show their gratitude for giving them your business. And the food is just spectacular, the best gnocchi cacio e Pepe I've ever had! The food, the environment, the people are all so authentic, I feel like I'm in a friend's kitchen. I've only been twice and the second time I visited, the owner remembered me, which made me feel great. I will absolutely continue to eat here! read more

Delicious food that keeps you coming back for more! Wonderful owners as well. You will not be disappointed with any dishes.

Luca's seriously provides a much needed solution to the void in the Delco food scene. Some times I want the convenience of take out, but delicious food that feels like I had to put on non-stretchy pants to go enjoy. Enter Luca and his cucina. Everything I've ordered here is the type of delicious food you'd expect to enjoy in a restaurant but in the comfort of my own home and yoga pants. I've ordered from here a few times but always go back to the penne melanzane as I am an eggplant enthusiast. I absolutely love this dish and constantly crave it now. The polpette are a must as well. One of these days I am going to branch out and try the gnocchi that I keep hearing so much about! Even though I've only ever done take out here I always feel like a made a friend with the lady who has helped me each time. She is just so lovely and warm and friendly. Just the type of person who always makes the best Italian food. Luca's has earned a spot in our dinner rotation. The food is excellent quality and the menu has something for everyone. I urge all my Delco comrades to give them a try! read more

There aren't enough nice things to say about this place. I ordered on the phone going home from work and instantly felt like I was talking to an old friend. Stephanie was wonderful. I picked up my order and was greeted by two absolutely authentic people. I ate my order of gnocchi and tiramisu right in the car. It was heavenly and not your ordinary Italian food. I'll be ordering from here whenever I can, thank you so much for making my Thursday night quick meal a little brighter. I highly recommend this place. read more

Food was excellent. Had the chicken parm with penne pasta, tagliatelle all'amatricina, gnocchi cacio e pepe with shrimp. Came with a side salad and bread for a decent price. Everyone loved everything the gnocchi was amazing and sauce was perfect. The chicken parm was a good size portion. Just wish i had ordered dessert! We will definitely be back to one of the best if not the best Italian spot in delco. Don't hesitate to order from here just do it. read more

Friendly very down to earth, great Italian food for a local spot here in Delco. Love you guys much success.

Our new favorite go-to! Stephanie is always so welcoming and it's the perfect quick takeout location. We've only tried a few entrées (ravioli - both ways - and the penne melanzane) and we've loved them. The arancini with bolognese is delicious and the pistachio ricotta cake is so light yet creamy - a perfect way to end the meal! Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. read more
