My sincere condolences to Debbie and Marie.  Luca and I used to spar all the time over the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins.  He loved the Dolphins and I love the Bills.  He would always come over to our table and talk to us.  When he was in the restaurant, everyone knew it!  His voice would carry throughout the place.  He would talk about his cars and in particular, his Plymouth Barracuda.  We will miss him and wish only the best for Debbie and Marie and family.

Luca was a great guy! We have been eating at his restaurant for about 13 years, and he was always fun to talk to. He was just himself. I used to love to kid him about the bug bus he had parked in the parking lot, and he always laughed and tried to sell it to me. It was fun to go to his restaurant,  but it was more fun if he was there and I got to talk to him. The hardest part of getting old is having people who add joy to your life leave this world and go on to the next. Somewhere in heaven someone is getting the chance to learn what we all knew....there was only one Luca. I miss him already! Mylon Pope

My family is sorry to hear about your loss. We will always remember him coming around table to table to talk to everyone. Love, The Hinsons

Luca .... such a funny and likeable man. He always made me laugh and his family has always been kind and generous.  I'm sad that he is no longer with us and am honored to have shared his friendship and love of good food. ❤️ 

Loved his sense of humor, so sorry for the loss of Luca

So sorry to hear of Lucas passing, I enjoyed his friendship and his love of classic and antique cars. My condolences to the entire family, may he rest in heavenly peace.

I am sorry for your loss, it came as schock to me. I always looked forward to see Luca at the restaurant 

I moved here in 2009 and was looking for a some good Italian food.
Luca was a great man who was always up for a little kidding around.
My thoughts go out to his wife  Deb & Marie and other family members

We are so sorry about Luca’s passing. Our prayers are with the family.

Luca always welcomed me with a smart, but loving remark. His food was the best and his sense of humor and wit will be dearly missed. May our Lord receive him with open arms and provide his family with peace, love and solace.
Rest in Peace paisano. 

My dad and I working; loved spending time with him anyway I can. 

If you ever ask dad for money, he would always say I don’t have any Bubba. Look!!!
