| - awesome views of the cleveland skyline, modern decor and an open kitchen the inside of Luca is sexy....granite, slate, dark woods and large windows on old bricked wall....but the food, i don't know, it was good, but not great. our party of 4 went through the courses, apps, salads, entrees and dessert, so we had a wide variety of different plates to sample from. i had the salmon carpaccio for my appetizer, topped with capers and red onion.....the salmon was beautifully sliced thin, so thin it stuck to the plate, as it should, but it was missing something......my beet salad was delicious! sprinkled with pistachios, lightly dressed with bits of a cheese that was similar to a toscano cheese. my grilled berkshire pork chop topped with mushrooms and a gorgonzola cream sauce was good, but a bit salty and on the dry side. my server never asked how i wanted the pork prepared, which should have been cooked to a medium doneness, not well done and dry. our cheesecake dessert was light and fluffy, which i wasn't a fan of, i prefer a more dense style cream cheese based cheesecake, not one made of ricotta.......
overall, for the most part, food was good, but for some reason just not memorable, service was adequate, friendly and prompt.
i'd go back again to give it a second chance.....location and views are the selling point here..........
