From the owners of the award winning restaurant The Clove Club, Luca offers traditional Italian dishes with the focus on British seasonal ingredients.

Established in 2016 by chef-owner Isaac McHale, Luca can be found in its green tile glory on St John Street in the heart of Clerkenwell. The restaurant is split into three separate areas – the main restaurant, a casual bar area perfect for small plates and cocktails and two private dining rooms each with their own theme.

Loved by many, Luca serves high quality ‘Britalian’ hybrid lunch and dinner dishes which change seasonally. The restaurant is open Monday to Saturday and the menu can be viewed here.

Henry Harris’ passion for French cuisine is shown within the menu which beautifully blends food from his family’s heritage with British bistro and restaurant classics.
