Casa Luca is an energetic and inviting location for both business and social events in the heart of
Washington, DC. Whether you would like to entertain a select group of family, friends or clients, or host a
large reception, we offer a number of possibilities for memorable events and special occasions.
With a view of all the action in the kitchen, the Peppe Room
is named for Fabio’s father, Giuseppe “Peppe” Trabocchi
who inspired his appreciation of food and love of cooking.
The Peppe Room is equipped with its own television, and is
ideal for lively family gatherings and business lunches or
dinners.
Enjoy the ultimate dining experience at Casa Luca’s Chefs
table in the Peppe Room. Chef Erin will customize a menu
for your special occasion featuring our signature family style
dishes or a 7 savory course menu. Inquire with the private
events manager to make the arrangements to have the menu
designed to suit your preferences and dietary restrictions.
Named for Fabio’s maternal grandmother, Palmina,
this room is the physical and “spiritual” heart of the
restaurant. Decorated with Trabocchi family photos, the
Palmina room is both elegant and comfortable, suitable
for informal gatherings as well as business dinners and
lunches.
Floor to ceiling windows provide incredible natural light
and a view of lively 11th Street in our Lina Room, named
for Fabio’s aunt. The shades can also be drawn for
privacy. The Lina Room features a separate entrance for
your exclusive event.
The Dino Room is “front and center” at Casa Luca,
adjacent to the beautifully appointed Bar. Cozy and
intimate, the Dino Room features stunning black and white
Trabocchi family photographs and beautiful hand-blown
Gordiola glass light fixtures from Maria’s home of Mallorca.
Named for Maria’s brother, who is also Luca’s godfather,
the Dino Room is ideal for a happy hour or cocktail party,
or a smaller business or family dinner.
Our option for dining “al fresco” in the warmer months,
the well-appointed Casa Luca Patio has vibrant orange
canopies, stunning marble tables, and tasteful
landscaping. The Patio is the perfect setting to “see and
be seen” for your next business happy hour.
We can open all three private rooms to
accommodate your larger events, offering the
beautiful natural light and private entrance of the
Lina Room, the charm and elegance of the Palmina
Room, and the lively ambiance of the Peppe Room.
Fabio Trabocchi’s approach to food at Casa Luca is rustic elegance and simplicity, to
bring out the natural vibrancy of the best ingredients.
Fabio Trabocchi is meticulous about his cooking – from the sourcing of ingredients, to
the butchering of meat, to the Italian traditions that are the foundation of his dishes.
This attention to detail is, in turn, evident in his extensive knowledge of Italy’s culinary
heritage, skillful techniques and creative imagination.
Chef Trabocchi’s passion for cooking grew organically beside his father and
grandparents growing up in Italy’s Le Marche region. By the age of eight, he was very
comfortable in the kitchen, which explains his decision to pursue culinary school in his
early teens and his progression of apprenticeships in kitchens throughout the region. At
21, he came to the United States to open Bice, in the space that what would later
become Fiola. After Bice, Trabocchi spent several years abroad in Spain and London,
where his cooking earned the attention of the Ritz-Carlton hotel company who offered
him Maestro in Tysons Corner, where he spent seven years cooking inventive Italian
dishes and garnering national and international acclaim, including a James Beard
Award for Best Chef – Mid Atlantic.
After a sojourn in New York at Fiamma, where he garnered 3 Stars in the New York
Times in addition to a Michelin star, he returned to the Nation’s Capital to open his
first owned restaurant, Fiola, in April 2011. Casa Luca opened in July 2013 and
represents the chef’s return the rustic cooking of his Marche upbringing.
Our relationships with the most respected farmers and artisans in our local area as well
as in Italy and elsewhere abroad, ensure that we receive the finest array of ingredients
– from herbs and vegetables, to farmstead cheeses, to shellfish and meats – each day.
Many of the products on your table are grown and crafted by local farmers, fishermen,
and artisans. For that reason, last minute changes to your menu may occur based on
seasonality and product availability, but similar ingredients will be substituted and you
will be informed at the soonest moment possible.
Our Special Events team is available to assist you in selecting a menu, including
making substitutions when necessary.
Casa Luca can offer vegetarian options for all courses. We are always happy to
accommodate dietary restrictions and ask that you inform us in advance so that we
may offer appropriate substitutions.
