“After five years of success in Charlotte, N.C., Osteria LuCa is thrilled to announce its expansion to Huntsville,” said Ken and Tricia Martino, owners of Osteria LuCa Charlotte. “In partnership with Power Brands Hospitality Group, we have worked diligently to bring this vision to life in Huntsville. Our team is committed to creating a welcoming space where the community can gather over exceptional food, fine wine, and great company.
“We are excited to open our doors and look forward to sharing our love for Italian cuisine with the community. We can’t wait to welcome you to Osteria LuCa.”
Osteria LuCa’s menu is a celebration of Italian culinary artistry. Its signature dishes include classic wood-fired Margherita pizza and inventive creations such as the hot honey & meatball and the bacon and clam pizzas.
Crispy calamari and creamy whipped ricotta highlight the appetizers that accompany the rich flavors of house-made pastas such as Rigatoni Alla vodka and Pappardelle Bolognese.
The entrees feature pan-seared salmon, double pork chop, and chicken parmigiana.
To quench their customers’ thirst, Osteria LuCa has a carefully curated selection of Italian wines as well as craft cocktails and beers. Cocktails such as Tiramisu Espresso Martini and Hugo Spritz join local brews T-Minus Tangerine Kolsh from Yellowhammer Brewing and Main Channel Brewing Co.’s Amber Ale.
Osteria LuCa’s warm atmosphere offers multiple seating options with 74 seats in the main dining area, 32 at the bar, 9 at the interactive pizza bar, and 36 on the covered patio.
The restaurant’s design, inspired by the cozy osterias of Italy, blends rustic charm with modern elegance, creating a space that feels both sophisticated and welcoming.
“We could not be more excited to bring Osteria LuCa to Huntsville,” said General Manager Jacen Duplain. “Every new expansion comes with its challenges, but our success has always been rooted in a commitment to high-quality ingredients, authentic flavors, and dedicated service. The dining scene here is alive and vibrant, and becoming a part of it is an absolute pleasure.
“At Osteria LuCa, we’re staying true to the traditions of Italian cuisine — sourcing the finest ingredients and crafting dishes with the same care and passion you’d find in Italy. We can’t wait to share that experience with this incredible community.”
Osteria LuCa will offer daily lunch and dinner service. Operating hours are as follows: Sunday through Thursday from 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m.
