   The outside separate building lacked ambiance. It would serve nicely for a group party but for an individual dining experience it felt like the kids table in another room.

   The restaurant was full. Many 6-8 party tables. Noise level was extremely high. ) Go figure Rainy Wednesday night )We asked if there was a less noisy room. The hostess had to ask mgr before we were moved to the back room. The wine cellar had a bday party going on ( loud) two tables of 6. So we were trapped. Food was good, service by Jose was great. Pasta was ala denta but good. Definitely will return.

   My wife and I have dined at Luciana's for many years and have been very satisfied. Our last two visits, however, were not satisfying. Last Nov. 10 I ordered Vitello alla Parmigiana. The chicken was so tough I thought I needed a steak knife! Also there was too much cheese on top. Last Sunday, March 2, we both ordered Ravioli di Vitello, our all time favorite. It was served with very little sauce and, as a result, was very dry. What a disappointment! We will probably continue going to Luciana's and hope for the best.

   Excellent meal with good tasting food and drink. Warm enough in outside dinning on a cooler evening

   It was just OK . Seated in a tent and while service was prompt , there was definitely an air of tolerance , presumably because we were not “ regulars “ . The food was decent but not a great value . We clearly felt that our lack of ordering some overpriced wine selections was a perceived detriment to our value as customers .

   Sorry to say that the prices are up and the quality of the food no longer matches the price.

    we have been coming here for many years- The menu prices have gone up- but the quality of food is outstanding. service was great- Chris is excellent. we had a special request which was honored- for a dish that wasn't on the menu- but used to be. dessert was amazing. new dishes and glasses- and looks like new furniture. this place will always be one of our favorites.
