Luca

Luca is a rustic Italian restaurant in Denver's Capitol Hill neighborhood, built around hand-cranked pasta, house-cured salumi, and a wood-fired kitchen. Named for chef-owner Frank Bonanno's son, the restaurant reflects his belief that Italian cooking is at its best when it's a communal act — dishes meant to be passed around scorched wood tables over glasses of wine chosen from a 100% Italian list. The space accommodates private gatherings in several configurations: an intimate private dining room for up to 18 seated guests, a semi-private section of the main dining room for up to 40 seated, and a full restaurant buyout for parties of up to 70 seated. Each option brings the same in-house kitchen — house-made burrata, custom-cured products, and seasonal pasta — to a private-event format with the cozy, personal service Luca is known for.
