    Wonderful experience at Luciano’s. The dining room is beautiful and has an intimate feel. The service was excellent and food was delicious. I ordered a cowgirl steak, cooked just as I ordered. The brussels were delicious too. Recommend checking them out!

    From the food to the service to the ambiance, this place was absolutely amazing. Even though we had a reservation that we were 20 minutes late to due to traffic, the restaurant was extremely understanding and accommodating. The food was phenomenal (especially the Shrimp Scampi), but what really made our night was our server Samuel. He was super funny and professional and made our whole experience wonderful. Samuel and his partner, we had forgot the name, offered great service as they were super attentive and very fast with taking our order and bringing out the food. This was our first time here and we’d definitely be back!

    I was in the mood for Italian food and found this place in my search. The evening was perfect from the beginning to end. We made reservations online and were seated promptly when we arrived. Don't let the location fool you. It's really pretty on the inside. Our server was great but I can't remember his name maybe Trevor. I love a restaurant that serves bread. The garlic bread was amazing. It's served with a dipping sauce that consists of sun dried tomatoes, basalmic vinegar, and oil. It was a party in my mouth. We had the calamari and zucchini for an app. Both were tasty but could have been cooked a tad bit longer. My friend ordered the herb crusted salmon and it was delicious! It had a nice crust and was seasoned to perfection. I ordered the shrimp fra Diavolo. It wasn't ok but I would have liked more flavor. My server brought a huge slice of tiramisu cake for my birthday. We had leftovers and instead of them sending us off with a plastic bag, our boxes were put in a cute black reusable bag. I can't wait to eat here again. Thanks for a great experience.

    The menu was not that big but the food is fabulous! I think they nailed it with their lasagna coco pazzo as well as their veal meatballs al forno... well come to think of it their fettuccine Alfredo with chicken too and the bread was fantastic! Shrimp fra diavolo was not too bad either.... Will definitely return and recommend this place.

    A popular Italian spot. We went there after a long trip..bur most people around were here to celebrate a special occasion or date night and it was pretty busy. There complimentary bread n dip was delicious. We ordered the wedge salad with the lasagna. The salad was good but the lasagna was on the salter side as per our taste. We also ordered an Alfredo pasta which was good. Costed us $ 70 with tip and

    The ambience is beautiful and the food is amazing. I've come here many times with my friends and family, they give off the impression of fine dinning but there is no dress code for the venue on the website. But the clientele is very up scale and classy wear. The one day I come to eat not dressed up, and arrive there after the gym. I'm greeted by disgusted faces as I walk in by the hostess and manager Roger; their thoughts of why am I dinning here, is she able to afford the food, judged for the way I looked. I tell them "my party is of 4 people" I address to the hostess, the manager said " I only see 2" very rudely. ( that unease comment already made me feel bad but I just brushed it off and continued to the table that was far back away from the other guest). The waiter was very nice to my party but I found that my service took too long and also my food considering we ordered before the dinner rush and there wasn't much people in the restaurant at the time we ordered. A total of 45-50 minutes it took for the food to arrive. Also we didn't see our server anymore and another waitress and the bus boy William(who was so sweet and asked us if we wanted dessert and not even a server took care of us better then he did). I felt as if my visit was rushed for Togo boxes and our checks.Over all my experience was not the best and they do need to work better on not judging the appearance of the guest!! I'm very disappointed!!

    Where to start.. and yes. 5 stars all the way. Staff, friendly and nicely attentive. Food cooked as asked. I'll be back. Now 9/16 And I was back. Soup was still great but the salad wasn't. I had to return it, I couldn't stand the cesar salad. My spouse wanted some but him too didn't like it. Worst, we've been sick for 2 days. I do remember liking my meal but to get sick as we did, I won't go back. Wishing them luck. Hoping they didn't change anything since last time because it doesn't work. Note: Staff still friendly with great attitude.

    I went into this completely unaware of what Lociano’s Ristorante Italiano was. Since the day it opened I did not know what this place was and always assumed it was some small restaurant, little did I know it was a massive, well decorated, and well staffed place. The items I ordered, while not entirely what I expected, was still amazing and the atmosphere was lovely. The staff are fast and friendly and always happy to answer any questions you have. While a bit towards the pricy side (adding shrimp to the Alfredo was $10!!) the quality is worth it. Overall I was not disappointed with the restaurant, just a bit surprised by the up charges.

    Service was excellent. Attentive and great wine recommendations. Drinks were on point. Gin dirty martini was well made and hit the spot. Vegetarian options: Gnocchi was amazing. We ordered and shared as app. Ordered Spinach Tortellini. Pasta was fresh and filling delicious. Very butter heavy aka greasy sauce so be prepared or modify. Would still order again because it was divine. Overall little gem in Duluth.

    Great place for a girl's night and birthday celebration after the ballet. From the libations to the appetizers to the main course and finally dessert, it was super tasty. Our wait-staff were just great and helped us make this a great night to remember! We'll be back for sure!

    We chose this restaurant based on availability to celebrate a graduation. Special shout out to Jennie who was the coordinator for the dinner. She was very patient, understanding and accommodating. We had a group of 20 and they were able to accommodate us sitting together (we were given a separate section). There are three levels of meal options, that include appetizers, entree and a dessert, but people were still able to order off of the regular menu. The staff was very attentive and responsive. It was a well lit area and they were willing to store a cake ahead of time for us. Those we were celebrating really enjoyed their time. Plenty of parking. Good portions and freshly made items. I would eat here again.

    First time here and we had a 10/10 dinner for our wedding anniversary ! Fast service and seating (had a reservation) we loved the veal meatballs, I had the lasagna and my husband got the Capellini Bolognese & our dishes were very delicious. Best lasagna I’ve had ever! Our server Noah was great also! He was attentive, so helpful and nice. Not overbearing but you can tell he’s very knowledgeable with the menu. My husband and I will be back for sure!

    Let the city surprise you. Truly this place is a hidden gem just outside the city. The service and atmosphere are so inviting. The food is good depending on what you order. The lasagna was incredible but the shrimp scampi lacked flavor. The salmon and sea bass are also stars. Jonathan, was our server the second time we visited and we really enjoyed him. Also we appreciate how accommodating they were when we were running a little late for our reservation.

    Good restaurant with decent food and good service when they're not busy. The tomato basil soup and the napoletano style pizza were amazing. The cappuccino and latte was also well made. The Zupa di Mare had way too much fish compared to other seafood items. We also ordered a side of the gluten free pasta and were disappointed that it was undercooked and the noodles stuck to each other. They offered to remake the pasta, but then the server got busy and never brought the remade pasta. We will go back and try other dishes but will keep their busy times in mind.

    Walking into the restaurant, you get the feel of an upscale restaurant. But when your put at a table that all you see is a pillar isn’t exactly my feel you are welcome. That being said I have been to Italy just recently and I can say yes this food is Italian. From the Florence area which I wouldn’t count on food with much flavor. I got the rigatoni and wasn’t impressed it taste like can tomatoes with hot sauce, while my husband got the lasagna, and It wasn’t tasteless but not the run or the mill lasagna so I give it a B. Now for dessert you should totally skip the tiramisu it was dry and tasteless just awful.

    If you are in the Gwinnett area and you are looking for an elegant dining experience, look no further. Luciano's Ristorante Italiano has mouth watering food with an elegant environment. This is definitely the place to go to make lasting memories. The veal meatballs are delicious. Located minutes from Sugarloaf Country Club, you never know which celebrity you will see there.

    Loved the server Richard- he was absolutely the best and I’m certainly not the easiest. We are regulars. However not one of managers came by to ask how things were. None the less we still enjoyed our experience. As you can see I’ve shared a photo of our receipt.

    Came here to celebrate my Birthday with an Italian Dinner . Our waitress was really nice, efficient and thoughtful. We started off with the bread & olive oil marinara which was pretty tasty. We ordered the Funghi pizza which was very good the truffle taste wasn’t overwhelming it melted well and enhanced the pizza nicely. For drinks I ordered the Smoked Pig though very pricey it was a great drink to savor and enjoy. My sister got the Tequila Italy which she liked . For our mains my sister ordered the Chicken Shrimp Fra Diavolo . Typically this dish is supposed to contain a spicy tomato sauce unfortunately there was zero spice so it was more of a chicken shrimp in vodka sauce. I ordered the Fettuccine Alfredo and added the blackened chicken. Though the photos and video make it appear appear otherwise although It was flavorful it was more like a very very light butter cream sauce with tea spoon of Alfredo Sauce making the pasta a little too dry as you eat. We were offered a complementary tiramisu dessert for my birthday which was such a sweet gesture from our waitress. Unfortunately it was not that flavorful very much tasted days old and bland like watered down coffee . Simply just say no to the Tiramisu. All in all lovely establishment ,good service , great drinks and presentation good pizza , and the pasta is alright.

    I was blown away by the amazing food and top-notch service. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the menu offered a fantastic selection of Italian dishes. Adrian was one of the friendliest and well-rounded servers I've ever had. Can't wait to come back and try the rest of the menu!!!

    Allison was incredible. We were celebrating our 20th anniversary and her attention to detail and care over our entire experience will definitely make us return if for nothing more than to see her. Well done Allison! And girl can make an amazing cocktail.

    What’s better than having Father’s Day dinner at Luciano’s!!!! This is my husband’s favorite place. Awesome meal, drinks were great and the tiramisu was phenomenal. Noah, the server, was so friendly and provided great service. Go to Luciano’s and ask for Noah…he’s the best!!!

    Loved it! We initially went to a different place last Sat, but it was backed up with over an hour wait! Crazy! We arrived at this restaurant at 1:30pm and they got us right in. It was wonderful. The bread and fire roasted tomato dipping sauce they bring out is soooooo good. We ordered two appetizers (shrimp oreganata and carpaccio). We've had carpaccio before and this one wasn't my favorite, but my husband loved it. The shrimp though... holy cow! Soooo delicious. I ordered the mushroom ravioli and broccolini as a side and my husband got the New York strip and mashed potatoes. Service was really good and when my husband's steak didn't come how he wanted, they were super quick to fix him a new one no questions asked. Our server was Jordyn and she was awesome!!! She was very attentive and super sweet. We don't live nearby, but I think we'll definitely be returning!

    Such a nice cozy atmosphere on a frigid pre-Christmas evening. The decorations were beautiful. The food looked amazing. Although my meatballs werea little cold. Two our of the 3 of is needed to-go bags, which were nice re-useable bags. I've never seen that in a restaurant. Hate those plastic ones!

    Brought DH here for his birthday. This is a very nice restaurant that you wouldn't expect to be at the end of a Kroger shopping center. The decor and ambience are very upscale and elegant. I recommend making a reservation. Service was pretty good, a little slow when we were waiting to pay the check and leave. Okay, the main part: the food. We started with a complimentary garlic bread basket with tomatoes in olive oil and parmesan. It was delicious. Decided to try the Tuscan burrata; the flavor combination of the grilled bread with burrata, roasted garlic and pickled onions was so good. We also had salad; my Caesar was pretty good, hub's wedge looked better. For mains... I was actually kinda disappointed with my salsiccio rigatoni. The sausage tasted really greasy and the food was very hot in the middle and cool around the edges like it had been microwaved. DH had the spaghetti and meatballs; meatballs were way better than the sausage so we ended up sharing them. We finished by sharing a tiramisu; it is definitely a big enough serving for two people. It was good. Overall, I enjoyed the meal but I'm a little sad about the pasta.

    In town for business and decided to give Luciano’s a try. Menu online looked great and it was close to our hotel. Food, service, and ambiance did not disappoint! Our server Jonathan was excellent, extremely attentive, and friendly. The food was delicious! If you’ve never had carpaccio, this is an excellent place to try it. It was unreal and something I will crave. We followed that up with splitting the spaghetti and meatballs with a small Caesar. They happily split the salad and spaghetti for us. When we were trying to decide on a bottle of wine, Jonathan brought us a taste of each. And I cannot skip over the complimentary bread. Lovely garlic bread with a dipping sauce that is just amazing! Highly recommend and will visit again when back in town.

    Great experience! It was really good and came out as ordered - our server, Christina, was great! The general manager came out and talked to us to make sure that everything was okay. Bathroom was clean, free parking on premises. My only "complaint" would be hearing a drill throughout dining, as if there was construction going on somewhere inside the restaurant. We will definitely be back!
