My first time at this restaurant and it was wonderful! My wife needs a friend of hers here at lunch and even though we live in North druid hills the trip here was well worth it. Love the lightning love the live candles the staff are wonderful the food is wonderful.
We came here for our anniversary dinner, and while the initial check-in with the host was a little rocky, everything after being seated was fantastic. Our server, Lucy, was absolutely excellent—warm, attentive, and genuinely made the experience feel special. We ordered the Caesar salad, squid ink pasta, and a pizza. The pizza was decent, but the pasta is where this place really shines—the squid ink pasta was absolutely phenomenal and a must-try. For dessert, we had the layered cake and tiramisu, and the tiramisu was truly to die for. Prices were very fair for the quality, and the overall environment and customer service were top notch. Despite a slightly bumpy start, this turned into a wonderful anniversary meal. Highly recommend!
Luciano’s was an excellent choice in every way. Great dining room atmosphere, each course was delicious: the fresh bread with garlic tomato oil, the creamy Caesar salad dressing, both pastas were 10/10 (lasagna and chicken fra diavolo), the triple layer chocolate cake as well as the cannolis were wonderful. The experience was topped off by the wonderful service provided by our server Eli. He was thorough and provided great dining recommendations, checked in on us frequently, and was just overall extremely nice. Thank you Eli for making our time at Luciano’s great! Would definitely come back if I’m in the area
My friend and I went here for dinner, and we had such a great experience! We started with the tomato basil bisque, which was absolutely delicious—rich, flavorful, and perfectly seasoned. For our main dish, we ordered the rigatoni salsiccia. Our server was so thoughtful and asked if we wanted it split into separate bowls in the back. Since we weren't that hungry we were planning to share the same bowl. We were delighted by the offer, it made things so much easier for us! The garlic bread was also great, both crispy and buttery. On top of the great food, the atmosphere was warm and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed dinner or dinner date. Overall, highly recommend!
We got there. We were seated right away. They asked about my food allergies. I said, no gluten, then I happened to be on the phone when we ordered our food. We got the steak and the lobster, but they wanted to flash fry. The lobster, which means deep fried with breading. So when she brought it, I was kind of surprised because I told her I had a gluten allergy. The food was good. The manager was great.
Rasheda was absolutely amazing! She has the best customer service ever. She was extremely knowledgeable and patient as my sister and I decided on what we wanted to meet. She was spot on with her wine suggestion as well as the suggestion to pair the fettuccine Alfredo with the salmon. I will definitely be asking for her every time I come here.
One of the best restaurants in Gwinnett! Michael was an absolutely phenomenal server. Attentive, authentic, loved his recommendations and service. I loved my homemade tiramisu birthday treat! But the star of the show was the bread and sun dried tomato dipping sauce. Even the salad was great, fresh and delicious. Definitely going back. Vibe was family friendly yet elegant. Reminded me of my childhood.
