Oh my how we love Luciano's!! Absolutely no other restaurant in Charlotte can hold a candle to their Carpaccio appetizer or their sundried tomato dipping sauce. Have mercy! Their pastas are homemade, and you can tell. Try the scallops and artichoke hearts over pasta appetizer. or if you're like me, ask for that dish in an entree sized portion. We love the atmosphere as well - sophisticated but comfortable, and we've always found their wait staff to be solid and accommodating. It is undoubtedly our favorite Italian restaurant in Charlotte - we always recommend it to both locals and visitors alike.
