Luca Lagotto Is Serving Some Of The Freshest Pasta In Alabama

If you're in the mood for delicious Italian cuisine (that's almost always for me), look no further than Luca Lagotto in Homewood. This fresh pasta restaurant near Birmingham is the latest offering from Pihakis Restaurant Group, which also owns several other local restaurants, including HERO and Little Donkey.

Opened in February 2024, Luca Lagotto is named after the family dog, who is depicted in the restaurant's line art logo.

The idea for the restaurant was born during a family trip to Italy and inspired by the small villages in the Emilia-Romagna region.

The goal? To create a sense of community around good food and good company, just like the Italians do. The restaurant's menu reflects that philosophy, with dishes showcasing the fresh flavors and ingredients of traditional Italian cuisine. From homemade pasta dishes like Mafaldine with white mushroom Bolognese and Parmigiano Reggiano to pizzas and fresh salads, Luca Lagotto has something for every palate.

For dessert, there is a selection of cheeses, various gelatos, and beautifully presented waffle cone cannoli filled with sweet vanilla ricotta, pistachios, and chocolate pearls.

If you love the fresh pasta and Italian specialties at Luca Lagotto, you'll definitely want to check out Mercato Lagotto, the restaurant's adjacent Italian market.
