I went to Luca after they posted about their dedicated gluten free space online. I ordered the chicken parm and it was delicious! The server was very knowledgeable and told me everything that could be made gluten free and assured me that there was a dedicated fryer and strainers for pasta. I did not get sick.

No knowledge of gluten at all. Brought my food with croutons and said they should be gluten free but he would double check. They were not. Asked if dairy was gluten free and keeps accidentally saying vegan. I did not feel comfortable eating here and would not return.

Very good food and service. No GF menu but almost everything on the menu is GF or can be. Also have GF pasta.

Four celiacs ate here and had a wonderful meal. The waiter was very knowledgeable about celiac. They do not have a gluten free menu but are able to make most menu items gluten free.

I have eaten here over 15 times in the past 5 years and the serving staff and chefs consistently do a phenomenal job! The staff is thorough and responsive to each of my questions. I can rest assured that I can eat safely here, which takes the stress out of going out to eat, but the reason Luca’s is my favorite restaurant in a 15+ mile radius is because my food is always delicious! I have a number of sensitive food allergens in addition to gluten and there are some restaurants that I can eat at, but to do so, my food must be bland and boring - this is NEVER the case at Lucas. Here I get to try out new dishes and each one is flavorful, tasty and something I’m excited to eat! Also, Luca, the owner, is a wonderful, friendly guy - and a fantastic chef - who is often greeting or checking in with customers in the front of the restaurant; it is always a pleasure to see him. I can’t recommend Luca’s highly enough.

Phenomenal meal and drinks at Lucas!!! 95% of the menu is already GF and any items can be made GF if not already. I had the almond crusted fried mozzarella for appetizer, beef tenderloin, and creme brûlée. My husband had the pan seared cod. Everything was absolutely wonderful! The owner walks around throughout talking with the customers and was extremely friendly. Wait staff was also great! Loved the place! They have kid friendly menu as well and we plan to come back with our celiac kids.
Yes
Best restaurant in KEENE in my opinion. Very good chef and very good gluten-free options
The staff is knowledgeable and they are always willing to modify dishes to make them gluten free. Luca will come and talk to us himself when he is in and go over whatever ingredients are in any dish we have questions about and make suggestions. My family has other food intolerances in addition to gluten, and we always feel safe eating here and have a delicious meal.

Not too impressed. My salmon came out raw and I had to send it back. Felt sick afterwards too. I asked for a my salmon to be served plain, with lemon and no oil because I get sick- not only under cooked but no lemon and loaded in oil. Would not come back
Always has been my favorite place in Keene! Maybe even in NH! (Even b4 my GF days). They're so accommodating about any special food needs. Adjusting the menu in any way! And the service is 2nd to none! Love that Luca joins the staff in service. & They really make everyone feel welcomed and taken care of!!! <3
Amazing! Luca himself showed us the menus, gave recommendations, and the food was to die for. He was very educated on gluten free diet and celiacs and had lots of options. Even gave me his email address to ensure I was still happy (not sick).

No gf menu but tons of options! Staff seemed like they really cared and the food was great!
