This place is off the beaten path, but definitely 5 stars across the board! We just drove in from San Antonio and we're looking for a spot to pop in for dinner. We saw this place and instantly fell in love! We were greeted by Sandy who was very friendly and has several recommendations. We got the bruschetta, house salad and Caesar. All we're delicious! Then for the main course, we had the chicken tetrazzini and the shrimp diavolo. Wow! Definitely coming back next time we're in town!

Food is always good when we end up here. Came with work group for holiday dinner and everyone was happy with their meal. I went with the pork chops and was just the right amount. Will definitely be back. The waitstaff was perfect that night, they always checked on us to make sure drinks were full but not overbearing. I recommend this place to anyone.

Luciano's Italian Restaurant is a true gem! From the moment we stepped inside, we were enveloped in a warm and inviting atmosphere. The food? Absolutely perfect. Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with authentic Italian flavors. Our waiter, Valeria S, truly elevated our dining experience. Her attentiveness, knowledge of the menu, and genuine warmth made us feel incredibly well taken care of. Thank you, Valeria, for your exceptional service! We had an absolutely excellent experience at Luciano's and can't wait to return. Highly, highly recommended!

Came here to celebrate my sister’s 21st birthday and we had set a reservation. I was the first one there about 5 minutes early and they took me to our table of 12 which was set up very nicely. Our server was amazing and she did a great job taking care of us. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

For our 2 year anniversary we ventured out to a new Italian restaurant we haven't been before. This place was a great gem. GET the garlic bread it's so good and great price (4 Dollars). It did take like 15 mins, but it's made from scratch. The restaurant is not about getting your food fast and you out. It's about enjoying a good date night talking to your partner and the food comes when it's ready. Main entrees took about another 15-20 mins after the bread. They have a nice selection of wine too. Lamb chops are a hot commodity and luckily they had still stocked as the waitress said they might have been sold out. Lamb chops were 9/10. Lamb was very good and wasn't gamy. Vegetable seasoned well sadly potato portion was a little bland. My Fiance got the chicken Alfredo and it was delicious she thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn't get dessert this time but we will definitely be back. The tiramsu another table ordered looked really good though. If you're looking for a nice evening dinner or a date night spot this is the place. Just remember to enjoy the company you are with and the time will fly and you will receive your food when it's made.

Had an amazing dinner! Our waiter was on top of it. He always refilled our drinks without asking, even boxed up our leftovers. He was very attentive. The food was great as well. Had so much flavor and the pasta was amazing and you can tell homemade. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone else wanting real Italian cuisine.
