We had not been to Luciano’s in years. Though we had been to his other restaurants recently. The food and service was stellar for my mother’s 80th birthday dinner. The veal parmigiana was delicious.

An outstanding Italian restaurant with super fresh specials and an incredible assortment of standard menu items, each one as good as the last! We were seated in the dining room, however the bar area has a first come first served policy if you don't have a reservation, but i prefer the dining room. Spotlessly clean throughout, super friendly servers who are also knowledgeable about the menu items with very good explanation of the specials. There were so many specials i wanted it was hard to choose, however, i went with the seasonal pumpkin ravioli with a sage cream sauce which was one of the appetizer specials, and i'm so glad i did, it was one of the best i've had, soft pillows of pasta filled with sweet pumpkin bathed in a beautiful cream sauce, I contemplated ordering it again as a dinner! We also had seafood stuffed mushrooms and fresh shucked oysters, all were outstanding. For mains we managed to snag the last of the lamb shank Oso Bocco and it was also incredible, we also had chicken and sausage in cream sauce, filet mignon and a veal dish, it is impossible to pick a winner they were all winners! Love this place and really looking forward to returning soon. PS - the bread is to die for too!

Luciano’s is just the best! Best food, best staff. The best of everything. They have the best baked stuffed lobster and the best prime rib. We have been going there more years than could count. Every time we go there they make us feel so special. Kevin is always our serve and he is beyond great. Marty is just a great guy and always makes sure you are happy with everything.

Lucianos has always been on point, but I was very disappointed last night. I dined with my sisters to celebrate my 50th birthday. The dining area where we were seated was rather loud because of the speaker playing music and other patrons talking over the music. Our waitress seemed uninterested in us and skipped over a few things while serving. Food was excellent, but service and noise level was terrible. I'd go back, but eh. Meza Meza experience

I did not have high expectations and was so surprised by the entire experience. The pasta was NOT overcooked. The sauce was so tasty. The menu was extensive. And the service first rate. I loved not being rushed and that old world feel in a very tasteful and refined environment. Please don’t wear tshirts here!
