I can’t say enough amazing things about this place! So glad our hotel was next to Bar Luca! The drinks, vibe and service were incredible. We went for happy hour, I ordered the bolognese grilled cheese, it was fabulous. I’m already craving another one. So unique and tasty! We sat at the bar and were greeted right away. We loved this place so much we went again the next day! The Sicilian wedding was probably one of the best drinks I’ve ever had. Bruschetta and calamari were also very good. My man loved his pasta dish and drinks as well. Thank you for a great time!!

As a fan of chef santo since Lucali, he brings his talents to bar Luca. Low key, romantic, and authentic- the best Italian spot in Miami Beach. Inside a hotel the ambience is surprisingly warm and inviting for both locals and tourists. Plenty of outdoor seating as well. Apps that can’t be missed: burrata, grilled octopus, fried calamari, and bread service which shocked us all by good it was. The pasta is an absolute must. The greatest bolognese with short rib and the spicy rigatoni is literally chefs kiss. Dimly lit with great people watching, bar Luca is an absolute must. My loyalty to chef santo continues he is truly a culinary gem

The food was really good and portion were big. I love the seafood squid ink pasta. It's delicious! The pizza is yummy too!

A much better choice than the overpriced South Beach restaurants—reasonably priced, high-quality food with a perfect atmosphere. The pasta has a refined, exquisite style and the flavors are outstanding. I went on a Sunday at noon and it wasn’t crowded at all. A wonderful spot to relax and enjoy excellent pasta and drinks.

Wow! We had some lovely nights at Bar Luca! Situated in our hotel, we were directly appealed by the interior. It is so cosy, pretty and has a unique vintage look. The terrace is charming too! Tony is so kind and makes the best cocktails. All the products are from a great quality and taste like Italy. Angela took really good care of us and the restaurant. We recommend this sophisticated gem in the heart of Miami Beach! Can’t wait to come back, Thanks Angela & Tony! You made our stay magical

I really enjoyed the vibe here. The food was also amazing and the staff was very attentive. The manager Jensine was very nice she came over to say hello and see how are visit was. I recommend 1000% I had the Sicilian pizza and my husband had the Cuban and they were both delish.

The ambiance of Bar Luca is great. Kind of Miami Rat Pack vibe. It’s a smaller place, and being sat in the corner booth/bench was nice and intimate. The food was also so much better than almost anything else we ate in Miami on our trip - I ordered the cod puttanesca and was so satisfied with my meal. Not too rich, and so delicious. The cod was cooked perfectly. We also had the calamari for an appetizer, and my only complaint there is it wasn’t quite enough to share among four adults and a toddler. I only got one piece and the next time I looked up the plate was empty except for the pea shoot garnish! Tragic. We also had gnocchi, salmon, and the shrimp linguini, all of which were highly enjoyed. Didn’t try any dessert, since we were all pretty full from dinner, but the menu looked like pretty standard fare: chocolate cake, pistachio tart, gelato, etc. Leaving the real critique for last - we were fully ghosted by our waiter, Chad. He had a real Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde thing happening. Started out warm and cordial, then abruptly started acting terse and strange when we ordered our entrees. He didn’t come back for the rest of the time we were there (and we didn’t see him in the dining room at all, which meant he was also not checking in on any of his other tables), except to tell us the 20% service charge is automatically added to the bill. It was confounding. I’d say I fully recommend this spot, it’s off the main tourist path so you’ll have a nicer time. And if you find that Chad’s your server, maybe request a switch? Or play your odds!

I had an amazing experience at Restaurant Bar Luca. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Our server, Lily, was absolutely wonderful attentive, kind, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our visit. The food was simply delicious, every dish was full of flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the entire team went above and beyond to create a memorable dining experience. I’m truly grateful for the excellent service and hospitality. Luca is the kind of place you leave with a smile, already planning my next visit. Highly recommended!
