"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."

"We went there several months ago to test the Pekinese duck in 2 services and we had left the service a little disappointed. a real say we are accustomed to a large starred Chinese restaurant that makes my sense the best pekinian betting duck. We could expect it a little too much.Brussel we decided to reiterate the experience and leave a chance to the lily to reveal all the splendour of a Peninsula.Here are my comments:the cut:- the duck was present to us in full with the visible head (it's a choice but we prefer it to be masked by a towel)- during the cut of the duck we almost saw nothing. as the tables are close enough and there were customers all around us, the people who have been able to see the cut are the customers on the tables that give on the service path. the first service: positive point- we found very interesting to have different cuts in the plate (crusting skin and pieces with skin flesh)- the duck alone was very good- the variety of vegetables proposed to put in the pan was very interesting negative:- the big black point for me was the pancakes. crêpes are simple crêpe à la française (version petit format). I know that this kind of crepes doesn't exist. Maybe the restaurant wanted to adapt to the French taste? if this is the case in my sense there is an inconsistency with the positioning of the restaurant. In short to come back to the pancakes, I would say they were really not very good. - the duck sauce was interesting but we knew better it's really bad because the sauce and pancakes are so important in the first service that if everything is not perfect, the duck taste is spoiled. I ended up eating the duck only second service:- very good surprise! The duck crunch was really great and we had a rice for accompanied that was perfect. Fortunately we did not finish on a good note ):ps: other points that made the difference during our meal:- service was a bit "brut. it was lacking a bit of finesse (this is not the case for other hotel restaurant/bar)- the decor is really sumptuousI hope to have been constructive. Maybe we'll try the restaurant again but choosing different dishes."
