Visited Da Luca Restaurant for lunch with my partner on Saturday, the 23/09/23. The service was very good but the food was just excellent, probably the best Italian food we had in years. It was that good that we cancelled a reservation we had for dinner at a different restaurant in town and went again for dinner. Will definitely come back and recommend it to anyone that enjoys Italian food.
P.S. - Be prepared as the portions are very generous

A hidden gem in Marlow Bottom. Went here on a Saturday late lunch after calling in advance to make a reservation. Every dish we had, from the insalata caprina to the stake and deserts, were great. I saw the good reviews but I wasn't expecting food this good. Wife wanted to order the "goat cheese salad" and I shook my head, but I ordered anyway. What a surprise that was! The combination of the slightly fried soft goat cheese, the zucchini and the seasoning was just wow! Has to be tasted to believe :)
The pasta and the gnocchi were cooked perfectly, as one would expect from an Italian restaurant, and the flavours were truly remarkable. My daughter who has the stake said was one of the best she ever tasted.
The serving staff couldn't have been more attentive, always asking if we need an extra this or that, and paying attention to the little details.
It truly felt like we were back in Italy, eating at one of those little hidden local eateries, where you only find locals who wonder how did these tourists ended up at their favourite spot :)
Can't wait to go back and try the other dishes!
Get the cheesy garlic bread - it was delicious! And the lemon sorbet was the best I've ever had, texture just like ice cream, perfect lemon tart/sweet mix, and served the best way: in a lemon! Lovely staff (all wearing t shirts saying 'yes we speak Italian!) and location, we sat outside and thanks to them lovely weather it was almost like a pavement cafe in actual Italy... The outside seating is covered and has heaters though. We were a large work group and they were lovely and very efficient, groups can be tricky.
I saw lots of takeaway pizza boxes inside, next time I'm in the area and I'm definitely going to pick up a takeaway.
Wow, wow, wow, was so imp with everything about this restaurant. This is a real traditional Italian restaurant run by extremely friendly and hardworking staff.
There is a large menu with lot's of choice depending on your tastes. Prices are really competitive especially considering others in the area. Food was delicious, well cooked and tasty.
The restaurant is relatively small so I would always reccomend booking a table to gaurnte a place.
Amazing as always. Had the fettuccini with salmon this time and it was super tasty and creamy. Sat outside, felt like we were on holiday. Quick service for lunch as well which was great.
My wife and I were in the UK for a month on a working holiday. From London to Inverness, our best meal was at Da Luca! The service was friendly and personal and the food was excellent across the board!
Perfect - lovely delicious food served by enthusiastic staff. Would definrecommend and will be visiting again soon. Thank you for a perfect birthday evening 💕
A true italian experience with great authentic food and friendly staff. Whether you're looking for a special romantic meal or family pizza evening Luca has it covered! Love it! ❤️
We ordered pizza to take away. We have been on a quest to find the best pizza nearby. I believe we’ve found it! We had Pizza Parmigiana, Pizza Americana and Pizza Quattro Formaggi. All excellent with abundant toppings, crispy crust, tasty tomato sauce and plenty of cheese.
We will definitely be going into the restaurant for a meal one of these days. We don’t usually go out for Italian, because my husband is from Italy and is a very good cook, but we feel we have to try them out, so we can recommend them as a restaurant as well.
Good starters, especially the aubergines with mozzarella and tomato sauce. Garlic bread with mozzarella is phenomenal. Mains are ok. House white wine is good. Good desserts. Service can be a bit faster. Recommended
