“I love this restaurant. Everything about it from the service to the environment and especially the delicious food is incredible. It helps to either have reservations or selecting a time that isn’t as busy because it’s so popular. My family and I have been eating there for over a year and been back many times. We love the bada bing shrimp for our appetizer. And my favorite personal entrée is the spicy seafood. Here’s a picture of it with a wide ribbon noodle maybeI weither tagliatelle or papardele.

“The best pizza I've had in this area. What a hidden gem this place is!!“

“light crust with good crunch“

“I’ve been coming to Luciano’s in Oakton for years, and it never disappoints! This place has been a staple for me whenever I’m craving authentic Italian food, and their pizza is hands down some of the best in the area.

Incredible Pizza – The cheese pizza is a Must-Try

I’ve tried just about everything on the menu, but I always come back to their White/Cheese Pizza—it’s absolutely perfect. The crust is just the right balance of crispy and chewy, and the combination of garlic, olive oil, pecorino, and mozzarella makes it rich and flavorful without being too heavy. If you haven’t tried it, you’re missing out!

Great Ice Cream & A Solid Wine Selection

After a great meal, I always make room for their ice cream—it’s smooth, creamy, and a perfect way to end dinner. They also have a decent wine selection, and while it’s not the most extensive, they’ve picked quality wines that pair well with their dishes. A glass of wine with a fresh pizza or pasta dish just hits differently!

Warm Atmosphere & Friendly Staff

One of the reasons I keep coming back is the consistency—the food is always great, and the service is warm and welcoming. Whether I’m grabbing a casual dinner, dining with family, or just stopping in for a quick bite, Luciano’s always feels like home.

If you’re in the Vienna/Oakton area and love Italian food, this is the spot. After all these years, it’s still one of my favorites, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon!“

“Great venue and great staff and food.“

“Thank you so much to Martha, Tom, Jason, Sarah, and the entire team who made my gathering at Alta today so special!! Martha really went above and beyond by arranging to have the surprise decor, balloon bouquet, and party favors for my guests and me! I was so overwhelmed by her thoughtfulness.“

“I love coming in here especially when Evelyn is working. She is always so kind and helpful, she really makes this store feel like such a warm environment, Javier is another families face I see when i pick up, it’s obvious that he really loves his job and he is commuted to what he does, it’s rare that you see a boy his age be such a hard worker. Paisanos is definitely my favourite pizza in town, the employees are just an extra plus.“

“Great Pizza! Nice customer service!“

“Today Italian Gourmet was amazing getting a tray of sandwiches ready in very short time. They are the best!“

“Excellent food and the owner aims to please her customers!“

“The high tea on Saturday was fabulous. The staff was top notch and the food and beverages delicious.“

“All of it but my favorite is the meatballs and sauce.“

“My favorite pizza place.They know what I want. Great customer service too.“

“Loved my experience here! I always come to this restaurant as it isn't too expensive and the food is delicious. I love getting the chicken alfredo pasta and the mozarella bites those are amazing! The waiters are so nice as well and are very patient. Overall I would definitely recommend!“

“We’ve been meaning to dine at Dolce for years and finally had the opportunity to do so recently. We wish we did it sooner. The interior atmosphere was authentic and personal. It wasn’t made and genuinely felt like an authentic Italian restaurant.

The food was absolutely delicious as well. Their house salad was balsamic based and it was fresh and delightful. We also especially enjoyed the shrimp scampi. We look forward to visiting again and trying other dishes.“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“Only problem so far is fire alarm went off at 430am“

“The branzino was fresh and deliciously prepared. The accompanying bread was freshly baked. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The best steak and cheese sub AROUND VA!! No one can beat it and the pizza is delicious. I’m not a big fan of pizza because of the grease but they have the best pizza ever and you can tell it’s made from scratch the crust is the best part. Don’t skip this place if your in town!!“

“Great food craft cocktails excellent service contrary to some review. One of the best I have eaten at in N VA!“

“it's nothing at all like a NY pizza dough is not hand tossed . It's basically like any chain style pizza . service was quick and cooked properly. typical pizza for a kids party etc .“

Even with my foot injury( a life long issue now)the staff took me home when I came in without my cane, which I need.
Super great !!“
