About

Luca's Ristorante Italiano
Established 1994!
Excellently serving fine Italian fare!
Formidable award winning wine list!
Come be "Parte della Famiglia"!

Description

Established in 1994, captures the essence of the Italian lifestyle –colourful and flavour-filled. Luca Borella, the prolific hands-on owner, honours centuries old traditions essential to authentic Italian cuisine - simplicity and passion (and... don't forget anything Mamma taught you!!!).

Tuscan influences are evident with classic fresh pasta, seafood, meat dishes and exotic delicacies on offer to tantalize your palate! Food is freshly prepared to order and, as far as possible, homemade. The extensive menu goes hand-in-hand with a collection of carefully selected fine South African and Italian wines ( over 200 to choose from!) gathered specifically to complement any choice of meal. A grand wood-burning oven delivers pizzas that delight the gods (the calzone is to die for!) and slow-food specialities, including rabbit casserole served with polenta and lamb pot-roasted in coffee and apricots, will have you coming back for more. Luca's promises you the ultimate Italian experience!

Luca's can cater for your home or office parties either at the restaurant premises which seats about 200 people or entire meals can be prepared for collection! Winter months are made cosy with gas heaters and in the summer you can enjoy warm afternoon lunches and evening dinners outside under magnificent London Plane trees. Live soft jazz adds superb value to every Sunday evening!

Reservations are suggested at all times.

We provide corporate lunchtime catering, delivered or inhouse dining too.

We found Luca’s Ristorante on Google and chose to dine here on our first night in South Africa. WOW, what an amazing experience. We loved everything from the lovely service, the very nice dining room, the absolutely delicious food & wine, and the delightful meeting of Luca himself who personally came out to every table to check in. All of our meals from lasagna to pizza were fabulous, but the butternut sage ravioli was perfection and all of our favorite!! We could not have asked for a more wonderful first dining experience in South Africa. Our family of five highly recommends Luca’s Ristoranté Italiano!
The food was pretty good. The service really stood out as it was very good. I’d go back. I’m going for the pizza next time, it looked really good
Great food, the toppings didn't end on the pizza which was delicious. The base was thin and crispy and the pizza had a wonderful aroma. Great service from the waitors to the chef who even goes table to table to check if everything is going well with the meal. Has a very personal touch to it.Food: 5/5
I came with my Danish friends to have dinner here , we read that it’s been the longest standing restaurant in most of Sandton Area. Our starter was just okay 2/5 we had cappacio didn’t have much of a taste , but the main menu was just mind blowing I had rabbit and my friend had the pasta oh my soul it was unbelievable delicious well cooked 5/5 well matched with a good bottle of Red, the waiters are a bit old yet I guess with age comes wisdom and some other benefits . We enjoyed ourselves so much we came back the following night for the pasta. Place was clean I loved the bathrooms. Deco simple and stylish We had a beautiful evening
It was so calm, relaxing, the food was amazing. I didn't know that much about Italian food but the waiter was so happy to teach me. I'm definitely going back.Food: 5/5
A very special birthday lunch for my daughter and grandson. All our food was out of this world and Luca is so hands on. He also arranged a beautiful Belguim chocolate cake which was served after our lunch. Will definitely see us there again.
Just like mamma made it. In need of some comforting Italian food, go check out the new home of Luca's Ristorante now situated in sandton in the 24 Central building in Gwen Lane. Luca himself took care of us during lunch, along with 2 of his staff members. The service was excellent, the staff all friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much for them. Even if you vegetarian or gluten free, Luca makes a plan. We had a set menu for the #DineLucaStyle lunch, and wow, were we blown away. A welcome drink of Aperol Spritz with Valdo Brut Prosecco to get the afternoon going. Sharing meals amongst old and new friends is always a great way to get to know people. We started off with the House Salad with a Narcotic dressing, and Pizza with avo and rocket and Balsamic reduction. This was then followed by Grilled and fried Falklands Calamari and Squid heads, fresh green Asparagus smothered in a Rich Gorgonzola sauce with roasted Almond flakes. I'm not an Asparagus fan and the sauce was very rich. But somehow it worked and it was bursting with flavours. We were already starting to get full and then along came Luca to serve us some tantalising pasta dishes himself. The Fettucine Caruso, Risotto Nero di seppia and then the Rigatoni Al la Norma. The Risotto impressed me the most, be it the texture, the colour and contrast with the Calamari just gave it that extra edge. Now I know we've just spoken pizza pasta and seafood of sorts, don't despair there is meat on the menu. Those who love Osso Bucco, served with mash; Pechana Al italiano juicy tender pieces of meat and potatoes, Lamb Al Caffè which is Luca's mom's recipe using apricots and coffee in the mix and fresh mussel and clam soup. The Soup flavour was refreshing. We were honestly spoilt for choice and you can expect nothing less when dining with JoziStyle To finish off a fabulous afternoon, I had the Grappa and Pistachio DomPedro and a taste of the Tiramisu, definitely one of the best I've had in a while. Some of the guests had the Gelato in a cone, either the Choc Amaro which was guilt free, Vanilla Pod or Panna Cotta Flavoured. Thanks to Edward, Luca and team for spoiling us. Wishing you all the best in your new home and hope all the sunninghill customers come back and support now in Sandton #TheFoodMusketeer #TheFoodMusketeerEats #TheFoodMusketeerDrinks #TFMLucas #DineJozistyle #DineLucaStyle
Hi Luca's I was there at your restaurant tonight at 9pm after I seen on this very platform that you close at 09:30pm, however upon my arrival doors are close and for the few staff that were there standing outside, I asked them why are you closed and they blatantly ignored me - not sure why this happened as I do not think I was rude and I just wanted to confirm if the time on the internet was wrong, not service I would expect especially since I always order from them. Kind Regards,
Amazing; Credit where credit is due, last night was the 3rd time we've eaten there, and it's been impressive every single time. The pasta was amazing as per usual. I will however suggest, when you order something, don't get rice as a side. The rice was a bit dry, but the service, price, and quality of the pasta's and pizza was incredible. I would definitely suggest you go there.
The very best restaurant in Johannesburg. 10/10 recommend this establishment to anyone with a craving for Italian food. You have not had Italian if you have not eaten here. This restaurant is my number one favourite ever since I discovered it. The quality of food is on another level and honestly can’t be beat. I am never disappointed when I visit Luca’s. The pizzas are incredible, I am crazy about their pastas and their house salad is unlike anything I have had before. I could eat here everyday and never get bored. With such incredible flavours and a variety that gives you something new to try every visit, you can’t ask for a better restaurant. And all at brilliant prices that are more than fair for the portions and quality you receive. I even recommended the venue for y companies year end function and each and every one of my colleagues have been back for more since then. An amazing venue and Luca himself is absolutely fantastic. He can attest to what it truly means to be a good host. Always happy and smiling, delivering the complete experience to each and every guest within his restaurant. Goes to show that true respect and quality service goes a long way. 6/5 stars for this establishment.
