As a global traveler for decades who has enjoyed fine dining from around the world, this is the worst food I have TRIED to eat in a very long time. It really was horrible and inedible. However, let's start at the beginning... We called to make a reservation for 4 at 5:30 and were told the first opening was at 8:30, which is way too late for our party. We specifically asked about 5:30. The hostess told us they were completely booked. So, we decided to order take-out because my father had his heart set on Luciana's. We ordered and then drove down to pick up the food. We arrived right at 5:30 to pickup the food and the restaurant was COMPLETELY EMPTY... inside and out. Totally unacceptable. The manager didn't seem to care when we mentioned it to him. When we got the food home, we discovered that the pork chop was red and cold inside. The Caesar salad had brown, dried-up lettuce, which means it was at least 4-5 days old. The bread for the bruschetta was soggy. The lasagna Bolognes
Not good service, not amazing food Where to start? We made a reservation for my mom's birthday a party of 10 at this restaurant, they seem decent & with good reviews, well, complete disappointment... We ask for some entries, those were good, but then they brought another entry that wasn't ours, after that, we waited 60min, yes, 60 MIN for our plates to arrived, what happen? They forgot, we over heard the waiter telling another one to ask for the plates again because they totally forgot about them. 60 min later...we got out plates, some of them were good but not amazing, the drinks were WAY BETTER than all the food we got. The waiter at the end tried to be nice & did a surprise cake for my mom, I can say that was the only good thing of the night. Recommendation: go to Ralph's or Albertsons & buy a microwave Italian dish, that way better & cheaper! Not coming back, hopefully they will get better. The location is amazing!
Honestly, I'm upset I haven't been here before this year. We've lived in the immediate area almost a decade and it was actually visiting family who made the reservation. The food is wonderful. Cocktails are delicious. Service was top notch. We will definitely be back for more wonderful Italian food soon. Dine in: Yes Outdoor seating: Yes … More
