5 stars to me since it's been a challenge finding exceptional quality food establishments in NC. I know I'm a bit spoiled having lived in Chicago all my life and visited New York a few times for work. There's nothing wrong with having a high standard when it comes to nourishing your body with good food. Can I get an amen?!
So far Luciano's has met my foodie expectations:
1. Ambiance- romantic, classy, yet still good for a family dinner with little ones
2. Decor- modern with traditional accents
3. Service- courteous, attentive, and inviting
4. Food- light but decadent enough to allow those Italian flavors to come through
5. Value- a final bill for a family of six in the amount of $88!!!! It would have been higher if we would have ordered their seafood or angus steak plates. Next time.
Our server Ronald went above and beyond attending to our table. Patient and attentive. He didn't up sell on any dish and pretty much told us we can't go wrong with anything in the menu.
Overall, our plates ranged from individual pizzas, chicken under the oven, Fettuccini Alfredo, and chicken piccata, which we all loved.
The bonus was making our daughters birthday dinner here more special by presenting her with a chocolate brownie with a side of ice cream. It was absolute bliss, according to my daughter. She gave me a bite (very tiny one) and I agree.
Try this place. It's really good.
