Luca Italian Kitchen, Wichita

Hailing from Villadossola, Italy, chef Gianluca Sciagata shares the robust cuisine of his Northern Italian homeland within a contemporary, upscale atmosphere. A seasonally rotating menu showcases delicate ribbons of house-made pastas complemented by daily specials crafted from fresh beef, veal, and seafood. The restaurant’s in-house pastry chef decorates morsels of dessert-time sweetness when not renovating and flipping gingerbread houses for profit. Diners can relish their meals atop elegant white table linens illuminated by flickering candles or beneath a starry sky arching over the Old Town Plaza patio.
