Luca's Mediterranean Cafe
Reviews
Excellent dinner. Chef inspired creations. Nice atmosphere with white tablecloths and deep wood finishes. We were very impressed with the food and the professional wait staff. Tops my list, and we will return.
This place was rated very highly in the "Best of Manadnock" magazine for 2013. Seems like they took just-about every award. We took advantage of their outdoor dining. Our waiter was professional, helpful and friendly. The service was adequately timed for a work lunch. And the food was amazing!! I would recommend for lunch or dinner to anyone.
I walked into this restaurant with husband and 4 year old in tow and apart from 2 tables it was empty at 6pm. The owner said he was fully booked as there was a concert across the street later but he strongly urged us to go to his 'more family friendly' spagetti house next door. I can completely understand that people do not want a little rugrat spoiling their gourmet experience but this restaurant cannot boast that it is gourmet and 6pm is a very reasonable hour to eat with a child. The owner's attitude stinks and for that reason alone he should not get such great reviews. We went to Michele's down the road and the food was really great so if you have a family I suggest you start there! Also I notice that if anyone writes anything negative about this restaurant, immediately and I mean in minute some new 5* reviews appear with comments from the owner. Food for thought I think!
I have been a faithful customer for ten years and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and out of this world. The waitstaff has always been friendly and very helpful and Luca is always welcoming to all customers. Luca's is fantastic when it comes to customizing special requests and events. On a number of occasions they have gone out of their way to put together special wine dinners and even went out of their way to deliver. Everyone at Luca's are fantastic people and I highly recommend this fine dining restaurant above any other in the city of Keene. On top of everything else they are fairly priced as well.
Great service, atmosphere and a consistent quality in the food. This is the restaurant I always recommend to friends who visit Keene. One of my favorite dishes is the Insalata Caprese. Luca the owner makes his own amazing Mozzarella.
