I ordered their gluten free pizza and the crust was nice and light and yummy. The roasted peppers on top were red and green bell peppers. They were delicious! It was a delivery so not too sure about the atmosphere, but if it's anything like their pizza it's probably great!

Tried Luciano's for the first time this past Saturday. We went for a very early dinner around 4:45. It was very slow, with only a few other tables sat even by the time we left. We imagined it probably saw more "life" as it got later. Our waitress was great, friendly and attentive. No complaints there. The food however left much to be desired. We ordered fries, cheese wedges and breadsticks for apps. The fries and breadsticks were good, as to be expected, but unfortunately the cheese wedges were just downright bad. They were insanely greasy. I'm no prude when it comes to good fried food, but these were truly inedible. Ripping them apart to cool, our fingers were literally soaked with grease/oil. Upon tasting them, we truly tasted nothing but fry oil. It was bad. We left basically the entire basket which was a shame. The pizza was also just "meh" in our opinion. I'm a classic cheese person and it wasn't bad, but also not great either. Just your basic middle of the road pizza. My husband got the chicken bacon ranch which he also agreed was good, but nothing special. We liked the atmosphere over all...would probably come back again for drinks and apps (we tried their most popular "light" beer according to our waitress which was good) but that's about the extent. I will say their prices are very fair. Our total with drinks was only $50 for 3 people so that made up for the quality of the food.

Another great Luciano's addition. I've been a patron of multiple if not all the locations within Pittsburgh. This may be my favorite atmosphere of them all. Not a beer drinker but much appreciate the art of brewing. Great food as always. Pan pizza is a must. Thanks again to the great staff at Luciano's.

I believe this is a somewhat new spot. The menu is primarily Italian but I think they are more focused on the drinks rather than the food. Still, I decided to give their classic cheese calzone a try (ordered a small).The size is fantastic for the price! The portion is about the same you would get at other places for $12-$15 but it only costs about $10 for a 'half' size. The half size is actually just a smaller version of their calzone, not a calzone cut in half or anything like that.Great flavors as well. They stuffed a ton of cheese in there. Lots of mozzarella, and a fair amount of ricotta as well. No tomato sauce on the inside, so it stayed very crisp. Not too much breading. They cover the top with a great buttery, cheesy topping to make it extra good. Large amount of sauce on the side. Although it wasn't the best sauce I've ever had, it was alright.All in all, a nice spot for some Italian food. I expected it to be less impressive than this, but it's quite good. Would recommend the calzone, and the size for the price is good.

Have had a lot of items on the menu from appetizers, sandwiches, pizza/calzones and many different dinners. Pasta Diablo is a favorite. Portions are very nice size and typically end up having a second meal out of it. Very nice happy hour throughout the week and on Saturday. Food is always great as is the friendly service and the beers! Also there is fun trivia on Wednesday night and live entertainment Friday night! It is definitely our go to place!

Luciano's never disappoints. Pizza is consistently excellent every time!
We decided to stop in very last minute on a Friday. It's nice inside. Very clean. But it also was very slow for a Friday night. Our waiter Jesse was nice. He made sure our drinks were always full and was very polite.The food though. Was meh at best. It was edible. They definitely charge way more than what they should for how bland it is.The nachos were literally tostio tasting chips with some nacho cheese. We ordered chicken to go on top. $13. That was disappointing.The wings were good. Kind of spicy for honey bbq though.My husband got one of the burgers. It was the smallest patty I've ever seen. The tomato slice was bigger. The teenagers enjoyed their food. One got a pizza. The other the steak hoagie. Hubby tried the steak hoagie, did not like it.I had the pasta Luciano. Nothing special. Fettuccini noodles with bland sauce and hot sausage. Definitely not worth $19.50. I had the wedding soup with it. By far the most disgusting soup I've ever had. The smell and taste was like rotting meat.The beers were alright. Hubby got an IPA. He was happy with it. I had the tiramisu stout. It was alright. Not the best stout I've ever had. Not the worst.We most likely won't go back. The foods just not worth what they charge.

Trivia night was very fun. Plus, it was wing night!!!!! Happy hour is 4-7, and it occurs on Saturday nights, too.! The food and service were good. We met some friends there and were seated right away.
First time I ordered food here. Fish sandwich was dry. Fries were greasy and the cole slaw was watery. I dumped more than half of that little container of mayo/water colslaw in the sink. You should be embarrassed to serve food like that.Left us with a lasting impression. Wont be back. Wasted my $35.00 for 2 dinners.And fyi.... I watched some dirty guy make pizzas without gloves on while I was waiting. He touched everything!!!!GROSS!
Meh! Food was ok. $21 for very average fettuccine Alfredo and a $2.50 up charge for the homemade noodles. Service was not good. Menu pricing is odd. Lunch prices listed alongside dinner prices without explanation. $8.99/$20.99 same meal. Won’t run back.

We had lunch yesterday, I got the manicotti & my boyfriend got the pasta diablo, both dishes were fantastic, great presentations, & some of the best garlic bread we’ve had. We will definitely return to try the pizza.
Nice, clean place. Great beer and my new favorite pizza! Our server Steaphaney was the best, great service and treated us like friends. I can’t wait to go back.
We reserved for a large group. We found the tall tables couldn't be used with our elderly parents. The staff readily changed our location with ease. We enjoyed ourselves. Great place to enjoy good food with family and friends.
Not as good as White Oak that's for sure! The thin crust pizza that I had was soggy, not crisp. The mushrooms were canned and they were very sparse for $2.60 per topping! Which I think is pricey. The Octoberfest beer was good though.
First time and last. Food is definitely not worth the price and the craft beer is less than average at best and the service was ok. Sauce was over peppered and the menu size and price is not correct. When i was served the wrong ounce beer according to the menu i questioned the waitress about it her response was it's a misprint, sorry but thats not my problem server what you have posted also the price charged was also higher than posted price. For a 70 dollar bill ill go elsewhere
