Okay, it use to be Barolo (still a good choice) but now our favorite Italian restaurant is Luca. This is where we take out of town company. You know the food is good when I recommend that people order the rabbit or the wild boar. Most won't make that choice, so I order it, we pass the plates around and everyone is drooling and eating all of mine! And don't get me started about the fusilli with wild mushrooms or the saltimbocca. Our first try here was during the first 5280 restaurant week. It was a Saturday night, the place was packed and our table-to-be had the dreaded ""lingerers"" (sitting over coffee FOREVER, holding the table hostage). It was a nice night out and the 6 of us had a glass of wine and stood outside. Being a night where you're getting a lot of first time customers, Frank, while annoyed, did not want to push the table out. We understood, and our patience was more than rewarded. Frank and his staff could not have been more appreciative or accomodating during our meal and gave us all a night we'll never forget, and he got 6 fans for life.
Pros: wine list, fresh ingredients
