Popular Liverpool Italian restaurant to open a new venue

One of Liverpool’s most popular restaurants is to open a new site next month.

Allerton Road is home to many food and drink venues and one restaurant in particular has been impressing diners since opening under a new name just over a year ago. LUCA was previously called 109 Allerton before being renamed and revamped in December 2021.

Within six months it topped the TripAdvisor list of best restaurants in Liverpool. The Italian restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and small plates including pastas and risottos, pizzas and fish dishes.

Now the team behind LUCA has announced it is to expand and open a new venue in another town, not far from Liverpool. Sharing the news on its social media platforms, the team said: “Exciting news this Friday! LUCA will be expanding to Ormskirk! We can’t wait to welcome all our new customers when we open for business at the beginning of April. We’ll see you all soon!”

The news clearly excited LUCA’s Instagram followers. The_unorganised_mum said: “So exciting”. Daniellelevyblog added: “This is amazing!!” and chloejones711 said: “Cant wait”.

LUCA’s Allerton Road restaurant has amassed an impressive number of ‘excellent’ reviews on TripAdvisor since opening, with one recent visitor saying they serve ‘incredibly authentic Italian small plates’ and calling it a ‘must visit’.

Another described it as ‘delicious’ and said: “Been a few times now, would highly recommend, food is amazing. Small plates but definitely filling! Server on bill was François, so polite and attentive!”
