Luca, an Italian restaurant serving Venetian cuisine on Allerton Road, is one of the top 50 restaurants in Liverpool on TripAdvisor - and has now launched in the market town of Ormskirk.
The venue occupies the former Spitroast, which is attached to the traditional Grade II-listed pub, The Buck I'Th' Vine.
The move is being overseen by executive chef Andreas Edlbaue on behalf of Luca managing directors Adam Lunt and James Deary, who also run Spitroast in Waterloo and on Smithdown Road.
