One of the most popular restaurants here in Puerto Galera is Luca\u2019s Cucina Italia.

Diners are blessed witha scenic view of Talipanan Beach, which is the nicest and most secluded beach area on the strip. The Italian owner and cook, Luca, greets guests himself when the restaurant is not busy. But even on quiet weekdays, Luca\u2019s can get pretty crowded on peak hours \u2013 testament to how much tourists and locals love the place.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8414\" src=\"https:\/\/primer.com.ph\/restaurant\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2015\/04\/Lucas-2.jpg\" alt=\"Luca's (2)\" width=\"850\" height=\"638\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">Vongole Veraci Pasta<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\">The prices at Luca\u2019s are steep compared to the rest of the island, but bear in mind that all dishes here can be shared by two to three people. Luca\u2019s serves pasta, pizza, vegetarian, fish, and meat dishes. For pasta, get the <strong>Vongole Veraci<\/strong> (P280), fresh clams in a simple delicious white sauce, or the <strong>Puttanesca<\/strong> (P280) which is spicy pasta in olive oil, garlic, bell pepper, capers, tomato, and olives. The <strong>Lucas Folded Pizza<\/strong> (P400) with ham and salami or the <strong>Quattro Stagioni Pizza<\/strong> (P400) with ham, mushroom, onion, and anchovies are very filling and can feed four people easily. Their meat dishes are very sumptuous, especially the <strong>Pollo alla Cacciatora<\/strong> (P260), which is chicken and potato in a tangy red sauce with garlic and rosemary, and the <strong>Filetto al Balsamico <\/strong>(P300), grilled beef tenderloin with balsamic vinegar sauce. Finish with their excellent cappucino or their specialty Negroni cocktail, and your beach life on Puerto Galera couldn\u2019t get any better than that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Puerto Galera in Mindoro is a great and easy getaway place for the weekend.
