Casa Luca - Paris 16e Arrondissement

Yes, an easy spot for tourists to conveniently stop around the busy area of Champs-Elysees. But being that almost all the outside tables were filled with folks it looked so Euro not to pass up. The beer service is comme ci comme ça so the house wine is the way to go. Simply raise a glass and say, À ta santé!

Casa Luca was located right next to our hotel. Every time we passed by it, my boyfriend and I would jokingly say that we'll end up trying it since it's hard to miss. The day came today when we wanted to get a late dinner. We had dinner at Casa Luca around 10pm on a Friday night. The place wasn't super busy, but there were guests coming in around the same time as us. The restaurant felt cozy and romantic. Traditional, classic Italian restaurant vibes. Food came out in a timely manner. Maybe because the restaurant was going to close in an hour, we had the quickest experience of our meal during our stay in Paris. Food came out less than 10 minutes after we ordered. I had the Don Vito Spritz, which was recommended to me by the waitress. The drink was refreshing, and I liked the melon aftertaste. So different. For my entrée I had the octopus salad, and it was delicious. It had pieces of grilled octopus with roasted potatoes on a bed of baby spinach. This was such a great dish and perfect for a light late-night snack that I was looking for. The octopus was grilled well, and its texture of it was perfect. I loved the pesto used as the dressing. My boyfriend had the pasta pomodoro. I had the pleasure of trying some, and we both agreed that this dish brought freshness. I could tell that the linguini was made in-house, and it was nicely al dense with a bite to it. The sauce tasted like someone just picked tomatoes from the garden. Heads up, this place is a total tourist trap. We asked for still water, thinking we were going to get regular tap water. We were charged 15€ for a glass bottle of Evian.

Tourist trap. Bad wine. I had cork in my wine. That's a no no in a country that is known for its wine.

Which damage, the location is obviously taken, but the kitchen strictly without interest and surrealistic rates, especially for quality and quantities

Eating was okay, cacio de pepe is good too embarrassing. the mozzarella buffalo is so good and they have a great wine selection. not my favourite place for eating, but definitiw great for photos and drinks.
