Food was pretty good with potential to be better but the waiter service was not good. Food was not brought out timely nor did the waiter consistently clean the table as we are putting a damper on the experience. Very long wait with food not coming paired was a let down. Waiter seem to not know portion sizes and recommended wrong side portions that really took away from the dishes. Everything felt rushed even while taking a long time to be served. We even were asked to share a dessert menu because all menus were being used by other patrons then after ordering 2 deserts only one came out further proving our waiter was not attentive to us. With better attentive service place has potential to be great. All in our waiter was just not good looking around others seem to be getting good service. Waiter was apologetic at the end which I can accept but I paid good money for an experience that did not live up to the charge.

Exceptional Dining Experience!
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ristorante Luciano (BYOB) and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted like family coming for a Sunday dinner with warm smiles and impeccable service. Joe, Scott, Alli (spelling) went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and attended to every detail with such care. Scott and Alli were attentive without being intrusive. Scott’s knowledge of the menu and our wine pairing were spot on. The staff genuinely cared about making our dining experience perfect.
The ambiance is cozy yet elegant, creating the perfect setting for a relaxing meal. The lighting, decor, and soft background music all added to the inviting atmosphere.
Now, let’s talk about the food. It was nothing short of extraordinary. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. You can tell the kitchen puts a lot of thought and creativity into their menu. The freshness of the ingredients and just the right balance of the spices made for a memorable experience. Each bite was a delight, and the portions were generous without being overwhelming.
We started with the prosciutto and melon appetizer which was a lovely balance between salt and sweetness. For our entrees, I had Chicken Champagne and my partner had Veal Principessa. It was amazing! For dessert, we shared the homemade ricotta cheesecake. Oh my goodness, what an experience! It was light with the perfect balance of orange and lemon. What a perfect ending to a delicious food journey.
Whether you’re a fan of classic dishes or looking to try something new, there’s something on the menu to tantalize your taste buds.
Ristorante Luciano exceeded all our expectations. This is clearly an Italian BYOB restaurant that values its customers and takes pride in every aspect of the dining experience. Overall, I highly recommend Ristorante Luciano to anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in a welcoming setting.
We will definitely be back!

Always a wonderful time. Always go with the specials. Veal parm or the “on the bone” are crowd pleasers. Rigatoni pomodoro was so unique and the whole table made sure to savor every bite! The Brussel sprouts are without a doubt the best thing to add to any meal choice. See you soon! Lauri is the best of the best

The house salad was just spring mix. The chicken picatta was 30 dollars and was one chicken breast. Maybe a half of a chicken breast? No side included.
The homemade spaghetti was good and the sauce was good as well.
The service was fine. The waiter was nice, but we poured our own water, opened our own wine.
For about 100 dollars you can get 2 entrees, leave a tip, pour your own drinks and stop for a slice of pizza on the way home because you’re still hungry.

Why four stars? Because it is next to impossible to get a reservation at a decent hour. I'm glad they only do it two weeks out tho. I do understand that it's a small place tho, but like someone else mentioned, there seem to be people who always manage to get in week after week. IDK. The food is excellent and I love the atmosphere. We had the opportunity to meet the owner and hear his story. It made us like it even more! I'd change my rating to five stars if I had a fair shot at a reservation. It is still a fav tho!!
