DE LUKAS RESTAURANT AND BAR – Italian
Croatian home cooking on Cleveland Street, run by Zdravko and Darina Talanga, who left Croatia in 1999 and named the room for their grandson Luka. Darina cooks here, and the breads, pastas, sauces and desserts are made in house. The kitchen leads with cevapi, beef and veal sausages tucked into lepinja flatbread with onions and sour cream, alongside stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, goulash over mashed potatoes, and pork or lamb shank braised five hours in red wine. Starters run from grilled octopus to Rockefeller oysters and shopska salad. Reservations are encouraged; a private ballroom takes parties. Old country, new address.
