Luca Cucina — Restaurant in Ingolstadt

I had a disappointing experience at Luca Cucina. I ordered the Pizza Fungi, which was just decent (and a Italian hot chocolate which was good), but the real letdown was the Parmesan cheese.

I wish there were more places like this. Superb food - we had pizza (white sauce, mushrooms, Italian sausage, onions) and grilled chicken salad, including awesome service and fair prices.
