New York Restaurant Guide

The Scene:Luca Lounge is a bustling little addition to the hipster strip that Avenue B has become. While the Italian menu is simple, the food is fresh and authentic enough to raise the standard of late-night snacking. The decor is equally homey, complete with comfy chairs, tin ceilings and funky oil lamps.The Food:Hearty appetizers include garlicky tomato bruschetta; a platter of prosciutto with dry-aged sausage; and baby spinach salad with shaved pecorino cheese. The signature homemade pizzettes are ample; the quattro stagioni (topped with prosciutto, artichokes, olives and mushrooms) is particularly stellar and pairs perfectly with almost any bottle off the all-Italian wine list. Mangia, baby."Restaraunt.Com Gift Certificates are good for parties of 6 0r more.""Additional parking-Parking Lot on Ave C 14-15 St on the south west side of the street."
