| - I'm going to be honest, we had a fabulous meal and service experience at Luciano's, however we did have an "incident" happen to us as dinner that was very unusual and surprising. However, because of the beautiful way it was handled and the incredible understanding and sympathy of not only our waitress but also the manager on duty, I can hands down say that it was a completely honest mistake on the part of the kitchen, something that after our experience would be examined and re-examined so as to never happen again. With that saying, we truly had a, aside from this one incident, an incredible experience and I would visit Luciano's again in a heartbeat. I always forget how much I love Italian food until I have fabulous Italian food, Luciano's reminded me of that love once again (note: my partner in Italian, that is no accident friends!). We were lucky enough to be able to set up a reservation an hour before we wanted to eat online and walked in and were seated right away. Immediately we felt welcomed, by our waitress and the manager, who at the time we didn't even know was the manager. I love that they have a manager on duty that greets each table and brings bread, water, etc., just welcomes people to the restaurant.
The bread is made out-of-house by baked in house and is fantastic, especially when paired with an incredible, somewhat spicy marinara. Funny, my Italian partner makes homemade sauce often, and his favorite thing is to dip fresh bread into the sauce, must be an Italian thing! For entrees we ordered the BBQ Chicken Pizza: Smoked chicken, red onions, avocado, fresh cilantro, and the chicken parmigiana. I honestly couldn't say a negative thing about either dish, they were superb. The pizza would be a good two person meal or appetizer. I loved the new take on BBQ chicken, the avocado, red onion and cilantro complimented it perfectly. It's not often, after having a "bad" experience in a restaurant, that you'd rush to go back. But the food was so fabulous, the service stellar and the situation was handled so graciously, that I will definitely be heading back to Luciano's!
