I've wanted to try Luciano Ristorante Italiano in Duluth, GA for years.  Today, I finally had the…read morechance to enjoy a wonderful dinner.  Our hostess greeted us right away, and we were seated quickly.  Our host and hostess, Jalen and Rashida, were absolutely amazing; they offered suggestions and answered all of our questions with such grace (excellent job).  We went through the menu and decided to try a bottle of Rosé, which had amazing hints of fruit and jasmine and paired well with the bread, the wonderful gravy served with it, and our meal.  We started with appetizers, including lightly floured calamari fritti (which we loved), plus thin slices of zucchini and squash that tasted like chips.  We skipped a salad and instead tried the lollipop lamb chops (suggested by Rashida, thank you), which were the special for the day. The lamb chops had an amazing grilled flavor, and the chef removed all the fat so you could truly enjoy the lamb; the mint sauce added an extra touch of excellence.  We also ordered the Tutto Carne flatbread (which didn't make it into our to-go bag (sad face)); it was so light and delicious.  We added the spicy oil to kick it up a notch, and boy, it really heightened our taste buds.  We ordered 2 entrees, the Rigatoni Salsiccia and the Tagliatelle Bolognese, which both taste as if someone's Nonna was in the kitchen- so, so good.  Tony, the general manager, greeted us right away and became my best friend; he made us feel welcome.  When it was time for dessert, he offered us Tarimazu, which was so light and delicious we couldn't believe it was dessert; we paired it with a limoncello and an espresso, both absolutely yummy.  We can't wait to return to Luciano and try the other menu items.  If you are ever on the cuff and not sure which restaurant to try for quality food and drinks, please add Luciano to your list; you will not be disappointed.

So very disappointed. I did not know it was going to be a buffet brunch on Mother's Day. Was…read morelooking forward to eating at one of my favorite Italian places in Atlanta. The food was ok but pasta overcooked, and regular breakfast items with a few Italian dishes but not the stuff I normally order. They never said anything before we walked up the the hostess that this was a buffet brunch. And at 79.00 each. We had my 88 year old mother and 15 year old nephew and it is still 79.00 per person. Will NEVER go back for any holiday.

From the moment we arrived, the owners and staff were gracious, welcoming, and attentive. The food was fantastic. We especially enjoyed the crisp, fresh Caesar salad, the veal piccata, and the garlic knots served with their delicious homemade sauce. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and clearly prepared with care. It was wonderful to return and be reminded of what makes Roma so special. We definitely won't wait so long to come back again!

Was really surprised how good this restaurant is. Most of the marketing I've seen is based around…read moretheir alcohol menu and tapas. However, they have a wood fired pizza oven, unlimited garlic knots, and delicious pastas. I didn't even notice the wood oven at first because the ventilation inside the dining area is so good. All the pizzas are 12", cut into 8 slices for around $20 for speciality. Cheese only is $14. Quality toppings and great chew on the pizza. The thick, puffy crust edge is not really for me, so maybe next time I'll ask them to put the toppings closer to the edge. Will also try the calzone, which is much larger for a better price. The unlimited garlic knots with delicious marinara dipping sauce is such a nice touch to pair with their amazingly saucy pastas. It would be so nice if they could cook more dishes and even their knots in the wood fire oven because it seems underutilized just to use it solely for pizza only. The pasta portions are large and saucy, but all are over $20, which is high. So you will see many customers sharing a pizza with a pasta. They have really cozy outdoor covered patio seating, as well as a very open dining room. You could really hear everyone else's conversations here, so I wouldn't recommend for a date or anything more private. People in my party couldn't hear eachother well at all, so we basically had to scream over the opera music inside. Service here is warm and friendly, and I didn't even have to ask for refills.

Everything we ordered was amazing, but that recommendation definitely made our experience even more special. Our server, Zack, was absolutely fantastic!

Had dinner here recently with a large group from work. They say they can manage large groups but…read morethat is a stretch. You are packed in and there is barely room for a person to walk between the tables. I thought the food was ok. We ate buffet style due to the size of our group. It was difficult to even get to where the food was served due to how tight the space was. I would be willing to give this restaurant a chance in a small group but I don't recommend for a party of 40+ people.

The First Level / First Floor is for the coffee, teas, drinks, desserts, pastries, sweets and/or…read moreshaved ice / ice cream. The Second Level / Upper Floor is reserved for if you are going to be ordering/dining in for the pastas and/or savory foods. I only tried their coffee today on the first level. I did go upstairs to check it out and did see a bunch of people upstairs just sitting and chilling on their laptops with their coffees/drinks; so they may not really enforce their "reserved for pasta dining only" rule. Not sure. Ambiance (First Level / First Floor) - clean, nice, laid-back, chill, cool environment. Casual setting. Cool architecture, design, layout, and decor. Can get loud inside as ceilings are high and can get echo-y, especially if there are alot of people. Also, there is music constantly playing in background. Service (First Level / First Floor) - customer service was quick and straightforward. They were nice and polite. A+. No complaints here. Coffee (First Level / First Floor) - tried their "Korean Iced Coffee" for $7.25. It was one size only and one price at $7.25. It was delicious. Almost similar tasting to a Vietnamese coffee in my opinion (both are delicious). That strong, brewed coffee flavor with this delicious milky, sweetened condensed milk taste. I am not exactly sure if they used sweetened condensed milk in the Korean iced coffee, but it sure does taste similar to it. It's quite good. Also had a "Large Hazelnut Hot Coffee" with creamer for $5.95. It was okay. Total with tax for the two drinks was $13.99. Keep in mind that the WiFi is on your receipt as a QR Code at the bottom. So if you want to use the WiFi, ask for the receipt and/or keep the receipt so that you can scan the QR Code in order to use the WiFi. There was no password on the receipt, only a QR Code that you need to scan. Overall - Yes I would recommend this place for a nice little coffee stop. Check it out for yourself. Enjoy!

The handmade pasta was all very nice, but my food was just too salty and I had to send it back. Waitress was very nice to make me something else, and it was ready fairly quickly. The menu descriptions are not clear. We ordered the calamari and shrimp for our table and when it came, it was a bowl of soup. The fettucinine carbonara was really a fettucini alfredo sauce.

Don't skip the Eggplant Chips either--they were wonderfully nice and crispy!
