Luca Osteria

I went to this Italian restaurant for my birthday dinner and it ended up being a really disappointing experience. The prices are extremely high, but the portions are surprisingly small, which already made it feel like poor value for the money. On top of that, the service was terrible. I repeatedly asked for a straw for my drink and never got one, so my drink just sat there getting warm while I waited and waited. For something so simple, it shouldn’t have been that hard. The staff had a rude attitude and seemed completely uninterested in helping or even checking on the table. They weren’t attentive at all and acted like they didn’t want to be there. For the prices they charge, you’d expect much better food portions and at least decent customer service. To make things worse, the seating w

This place is spectacular. Each dish is perfectly complimented and made to appeal to each sense. Andres our waiter was so incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about each dish and wine. We came for the valentines pre set menu and it was one of best meals we have ever had. A must try in coral gables!!!!

1/3/2026 Luca Osteria I have eaten in some of the most prestigious and recognized Italian restaurants in New York City and the country including Carbone, Cipriani and Marea. Always a great experience, good food, great service and atmosphere. Wanted to share that before reviewing a restaurant that is highly praised for the food and the ambiance and that won a MICHELIN Plate 2022 award for good cooking. The Place: We tried to get a reservation in the “Open Table” app and we were placed on the waiting list. Next day got a notification that there was a table available at 7:30 PM and we booked it. It was a Saturday night and the place was not that busy however, the servers made it look like it was very fast pace, vibrant and busy atmosphere. Perhaps that is why we felt like if we were being r

I had an absolutely outstanding dining experience at Luca Osteria, and I have to give a special thank-you to Anthony, who delivered some of the most attentive, and genuinely warm service. He elevated the entire evening with his knowledge, timing, and hospitality. Truly exceptional. We started with the carne crudo, and it was perfection…follow by truffle pasta special rich, fragrant, and beautifully balanced without ever feeling heavy. One of those dishes you keep thinking about long after the last bite. The halibut was another highlight, perfectly cooked, and full of flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts real care into technique and presentation. For drinks, the espresso martini was one of the best I’ve had. And the pistachio dessert was the perfect finale: unforgettable. From the amb

The atmosphere was great. This is definitely my kind of place and energy. But the food I had was below average. The prosciutto was just a prosciutto with nothing else on it and the pasta dish was very sour. You could count the number of shrimps in the plate. Even the dessert was very average. Overall the restaurant is very expensive for the quality of food they serve.
