I'm a local person and I enjoy the Italian Pizza combination's and sauce. Not the same old mix such a nice change. Have had a few Pasta dishes and they are SO nice and full of flavor. Great atmosphere with friendly face's every time. Also think the price's are reasonable and fair. I'll be back.

We enjoyed a uniquely named gangster pizza and alovely pasta dish. The service was attentive and the restaurant was very busy on the night we visited. We've recommended this place to family and friends for a nice dining experience. Well done.

I ate here with my parents on a night where there was no one else in the restaurant. We used to come to Di Luca's all the time before they got under new management. We were highly dissapointed firstly at the atmosphere. The paint was terrible and it was all dark and just not good. The service was slow and...

We were only in Thames for one night and are unlikely to be back there but I would certainly not return to this restaurant if we were back that way.

Foods great, but cramped and uncomfortably close to other dinners. Very small tables in a long skinny room. Such good food needs a better setting. A bit expensive.

Hello from Di Luca's
Thanks for your comments. Yes the restaurant is long and not as wide as we would prefer, but we have inherited the dimensions and have tried to make the most of what we have. When we took over, we thinned the place out and changed several of the wider tables from 4 seating to 2 seating....

Subdued lighting in a very Italian setting. Very easy on the eye. We were the only in house diners (for an early meal) so no great stress on the staff, but even in those circumstances, service can be patchy - but this was not. It was great, prompt and friendly. My fettuccini al pollo masala was delicious, with a great...

Thank you very much for your comments, much appreciated. We hope you will visit the area again, and should you come into Di Luca's we will give you a complimentary garlic pane to compare against. We have taken on board your comments about the pane breads, so hope you notice the difference. Thanks again.

The restaurant is situated in a dim mud coloured space, bery much like an underground garage. Unfortunaly the staff lost our order and we waited for hours until we finally asked. They tried to fob us of with "complimentary fries" , but finally agreed on some free wines to stop is from walking out. The pizza's were ok.

Hello from Di Lucas
We are sorry that you have reported as such, as at the time you appeared happy with the free bottle of wine and said that the pizza's were good. It is unfortunate that it was a fairly busy night for us and I had a new staffie on who had not checked up on you. We...

I had just completed a 12 shift and white something filling and easy. No thinking required. The pizza chef was flat t as the other one had not arrived for work. He made me feel welcomed and gave great recommendations.
The pizza and pasta was the best I have ever had and would highly recommend for either a dine in...

We have had guests dine and have take away pizzas from Di Luca's. They have totally enjoyed their pizzas. By the way, we had experienced them too and they are great.
