| - I had probably passed by Luciano's at least 100 times since they opened. My original reaction being "humph, Italian" with no real interest to try it out. Well, as luck would have it, a friend arranged a girl's dinner at Luciano's one evening and to my surprise(!), the dark, dank, old space that used to be home to La Paz was beautifully transformed - and BONUS, the food is off the chain! A must try: the beef carpaccio. It is the best I have ever had. Ever. I don't know what it is, maybe the crunchy little capers or the truffle oil (probably both), but dang... it's THAT good. Plus, the service is attentive and balanced...the right amount of "5-star" without feeling like a fool if you accidentally use the wrong utensils. I've since visited several times and have always enjoyed - thoroughly enjoyed - the meal & the experience. And I must add, half price bottles of wine on Wednesday's. Trust me, Luciano's is a worth a visit.
