Luciano's Cucina Italiana

What a nice place! The service was impeccable. All the staff were a team, the young man who was the bar back was upbeat and helpful. Aaron the bartender truly enjoys his job and added such fun flair to his role. The gentleman with glasses who I presume was the manager ( or was just a natural leader) stepped in to help all the staff. Filled our waters, took our dishes, all while waiting tables of his own. The drinks here were AMAZING and the food was excellent. My only critique was their two person tables are extremely close together making it uncomfortable when it’s busy.

My husband and I went to Lucianos for a midweek dinner date after seeing them posted on social media. Overall, I give them 4/5 for everything. For a Wednesday night the service was decently busy, I do reccomend using the simple reservation form via open table regardless of when you go. When we arrived at 7pm for our reservation it was fairly quiet, but by the end of our meal the place was mostly full including the bar. The service was stellar, staff were friendly and quick to assist or jump in to ask if we needed anything even when it wasn't our server. The atmosphere is also solid, feeling upbeat and modern enough for a casual dinner together or a date. The warm bread with butter, oil, and vinegar was simple but a nice start to the meal. The Ruby's Dream cocktail was delicious and strong enough that I sipped it for the entire meal. We got the Charcuterie and Artichoke appetizers. The artichokes should not be skipped of you enjoy them, they were well made and delicious. The risotto this visit was carrot and goat cheese, and was very well made. For entrees we both selected pasta as all but the penne is made in house. My chicken Alfredo had a delicious sauce, and the grilled chicken was near perfect, though in larger pieces than I would have preferred given that the bowl it is served in is not ideal for cutting into smaller bites. The mushrooms were a nice addition in it as well, I just wish there had been more as a mushroom fan. The spaghetti and meatballs was also delicious and the meatball was very well made. The tiramisu is always a classic and was presented well. Our only complaint about both pastas were that there were a couple of large chunks where the pasta stuck together in a ball to where it couldn't be broken apart, so we each had pieces where it was just a lump of cooked pasta with just a little sauce unless we swiped it through the rest of the pasta. A minor complaint, as I also make my own pasta and know it can happen easily. We still took leftovers home, and ate it happily today for lunch. Overall very happy, and we will dine again.

I went to this space when it was DBA and I enjoyed it. I was excited to try this new restaurant so decided to take my husband for this birthday. Bread- very hard and no flavor We had the pastina soup- read the reviews! It’s true. Tasteless and it was lukewarm Italian salad- very heavy dressed again, croutons were stale, wouldn’t recommend Husband got the filet. It was overcooked but seasoned well. I would say the best part I got the pesto with gnocchi (way overcooked- think mashed potato) I added scallops and broccolini (both were good) I called earlier in the day and asked if they do anything for birthday they said free dessert. When it came time for the end of the meal our server said do you want any dessert. I’m thinking so much for a surprise birthday dessert. Our server was not very friendly but the overall team work from staff was good We did talk to the manager, did not want anything comp more so to tell our experience/chef. Definitely felt like we were rubbed off. Overall, unfortunately, would not recommend and will not be going back. Sad to experience this since it is close and we really did want a good experience.

Went to Luciano's at Northside on Furnace St. for dinner last night and it was great! Our third time there since they opened in March. Husband had the veal chop that looked fabulous and I had the parmesan pasta wheel which was wonderful. Mark brings out the pasta and a half wheel of parmesan cheese on a cart and flames a portion of rum to caramelize the cheese wheel and then adds the pasta and does his magic and voila! What a show! And something you won't find anywhere else in the county. Stella was our server and she does a great job also. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic experience at Luciano’s! From start to finish, everything was exceptional. We kicked things off with expertly crafted cocktails—the Cucumber Fennel & Thyme Martini and Ruby’s Dream—both unique, refreshing, and perfectly balanced. For an appetizer, we went with the Burrata, which was absolutely delicious and a great way to start the meal. For our main courses, we had the Halibut, which featured a great blend of flavors, and the Risotto, featuring a rotating flavor—today’s was sweet potato and goat cheese, a rich and flavorful combination. Both dishes were beautifully presented and full of incredible flavors. Luciano’s has already made a great impression, and I’m excited to see what they bring next. Highly recommend checking it out!

Went last weekend for our anniversary and it was pretty disappointing. Only came to have the parmesan pasta wheel that was posted from them in an instagram comment that it was served every day. Get there and it's only during the week. The waitress forgot our drinks so we had to reorder and then brought our appetizer out after our meal was served so we sent it back. Ordered a second round of drinks that didnt come until after we were done eating. They gave us free dessert for the mess up. The food was pretty good but they have a lot of kinks to work out. The inside is beautiful however, the tables are seated wayyyy to close to each other.

We popped in here after a scenic train ride and was happy to have gotten a seat on a busy Friday night. Food was great, service was excellent (wish I could remember our servers name). I would return here if we ever come back to the area.

First time coming here since they changed over from d.b.a. and I really like the changes. Before it was dark, that was the atmosphere, but this is bright and airy which I prefer. Food was great and drinks were really balanced. Hubs got the bone-in and it was prepared exactly like he wanted. I got the lobster ravioli which looked small at first, but turns out I couldn’t finish it. Will definitely be coming back.
