“My husband and I love Lucas! The food is always fresh, delicious, and consistently well made every time we go. The service is always friendly, attentive, and makes for such a great experience overall. It’s one of our favorite spots for date nights and we always leave happy. Definitely recommend!”
“Really delicious food made with amazing local ingredients. Every dish allowed the ingredients to shine without excessive seasoning or richness. The service was impeccable too without being overly stuffy, Joseph took really good care of us during our time there.”
“One of the most solid upscale Italian restaurants in Long Island. We did the fixed menu and everything was well executed, fresh Montauk tuna, flavorful crab minestrone, perfectly cooked scallops, and an incredibly tender filet steak. Portions were generous, service was attentive, and the ambiance was warm and refined. About $120 per person with drinks and tip!totally worth it. Highly recommend.”
“As someone who spends my summers in Italy, I have incredibly high standards for Italian cuisine—and Luca Stony Brook is truly next level. The food is top tier, and the specials are outrageous every single time. The Montauk Tuna Carpaccio is a must every single time. It is truly the freshest tuna I have ever tasted. Their homemade pastas are curated and cooked with so much flavor. You cannot miss the apertivo at the bar with authentic Sicilian wines, delicious prosciutto, cheese and oysters. We’ve sat in the main dining room, outside in the summer months and at the bar - the experience just keeps getting better. What really sets this place apart is the people. Will, the manager, is the kindest and most passionate person you’ll meet; he genuinely loves what he does, the restaurant and his customers. Chef Luke even took the time to introduce himself at the bar, which shows how much they care about their guests. If you’re at the bar, Nicole is the absolute sweetest and handles a busy happy hour like a pro without missing a beat. The entire staff treats you like family here. You truly leave with your heart and your stomach full every single time. 10/10!”
“This was the perfect place to have a nice lunch over the holidays. The service was very nice with a friendly smile. Wine service was quick and served on appropriate glassware. The calamari appetizer isn’t the normal breaded recipe but served in a nice spicy broth. Would order again. The meatball also was exactly what we were looking for. Would come again.”
