'Unbelievable' restaurant that's now number one in Liverpool

The number one restaurant in Liverpool on TripAdvisor has changed with Luca on Allerton Road now in the top spot.

The restaurant has risen through the ranks of the review site to become the number one venue in Liverpool for the first time. At the time of publication, Luca had received 113 reviews, of which 106 people rated it 'excellent' and seven 'very good'.

The restaurant was previously called 109 Allerton; new owners took over and the site continued as 109 for around a year. However, the restaurant was revamped and renamed Luca in December 2021 - with much success, if its TripAdvisor reviews are anything to go by.

The restaurant ’s menu includes breakfast, small plates and cocktails. The breakfast menu features classics but with an Italian lift, such as panettone French toast.

The small plates menu starts from 12.30pm - late, serving a selection of pizzettes, pastas, bruschetta, fish dishes and more. A new summer menu is set to launch in a few weeks too.

The restaurant has racked up a number of five star reviews on TripAdvisor. Among the reviews, one person wrote: “Amazing. Loved Luca, we went for a late lunch on a Saturday afternoon complete with aperol spritz. Great service (thanks Aisye), atmosphere and food (budino for dessert was a great recommendation from Aisye!) Will definitely be back Would recommend 100%”.

A second said: “Lovely Italian on Allerton Road. The food as always was amazing lots to choose from and so tasty. We had Gnochi special as one of our tapas dishes which was great. The ambiance in the restaurant is so nice and staff are lovely. Especially Eliot who was our waiter for the evening.”
