The same friend that put us onto the amazing crab cake at Prime Rib also took us along for a visit to the newer spot in Metro Center called Casa Luca (or House of Luke).
I rarely eat Italian or pasta but when I was in Charleston, SC this past spring I had possibly my first experience with fresh made pasta. It was amazing and since then I’ve been keeping an eye out for a place in DC that creates fresh pasta for their dishes. Casa Luca is one of the first places I have found that has the quality of the restaurant in Charleston.
We were there just for a sampling so we tried the Fusilli from their Pasta Fatta in Casa (i.e. pasta made in house) section. The pasta was great, the sheep’s milk cheese on top was a smidge chewy though…
If you are unsure as to what to order ask the waiter or bartender as they are knowledgeable of the flavors and can help guide you to something you will love.
