Brought bread and marinara sauce to the table, which I did not plan to eat as I was saving room for my Stromboli, but it was gone before I knew it. The Stromboli was delicious with a perfect combination of Italian meats and cheeses. I ordered the small and it easily made two meals for me. Of course I did eat all of the started bread! I will definitely be back to try their pizza!

The second visit I went for the deep dish. They do advertise that deep dish takes time, but we still waited at least 45 minutes. When it finally came out, it looked great, but the flavor didn't match the presentation. We ended up tossing most of it. I saw plenty of mixed reviews beforehand, and I really wanted to like this place. They do offer a wide variety of food -- burgers, hot dogs, brunch items -- plus a small bar that seems to be a local hangout. The Chicago theme and TVs give it a casual vibe, and our waitress was friendly. The space itself needs attention. The windows had streaks and fingerprints, and the interior feels tired and in need of a refresh. I love a cozy spot, but I'd rather go somewhere cleaner, nicer, and with less waiting around. After two slow, average visits, I'm probably not trying again.

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.

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.

We also had two small caesar salads, both fresh and enjoyable. My husband ordered penne with vodka sauce, which traditionally includes cream and has that classic pink color. What he was served was penne with marinara. I mentioned to the waitress that it didn't look like vodka sauce, and she checked with the cook. He insisted it was vodka sauce, even though it clearly wasn't. We were polite and ate it -- the marinara itself was delicious -- but it simply wasn't vodka sauce, and that put a damper on the dish. One recommendation: if their version of "vodka sauce" doesn't include cream and is actually marinara, the menu should clarify that. It's odd to call marinara "vodka sauce," and it would help if the staff and cooks were familiar with the difference. Vodka sauce is one of my favorites, so it was disappointing to order it and not receive the real thing. Aside from the sauce issue, everything else was positive: fast service, a pleasant waitress, and good food overall. We'll try the Buford location next and would return again.

The restaurant is cozy, welcoming, and very family-friendly. The food is amazing, and the portions are very generous. Each entrée comes with a side salad and garlic rolls. Honestly, the garlic rolls alone are worth coming back for. They are THAT good. So far, we've tried the Spaghetti à la Carbonara, Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken à la Casa, Calamari Pasta, and Blackened Chicken Pasta, and every dish has been delicious. I usually prefer creamy sauces because red sauces can sometimes be too acidic or overpowering, but their red sauce is so well balanced and flavorful. The veggies tasted fresh, and everything came out tasting homemade. We actually celebrated Mother's Day here, and even though they were extremely busy, the service was still excellent and attentive. Parking is easy since it is shared with other businesses, which is always a plus. I honestly have no complaints. My family and I absolutely love this place. This is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots, and we'll definitely be back! ESPAÑOL Este lugar es realmente una joya escondida en Dacula! Mi familia y yo estábamos buscando un lugar diferente para cenar y decidimos probar Antoneta's y estamos muy contentos de haberlo hecho. El restaurante es acogedor y muy familiar. La comida es increíble, y las porciones son muy generosas. Cada plato principal viene con una ensalada y rollos de ajo. Honestamente, vale la pena volver solo por los rollos de ajo. Son muy buenos. Hasta ahora, hemos probado los espaguetis a la carbonara, la pollo a la parmesana, el pollo a la casa, la pasta de calamares y la pasta de pollo blackened, y cada plato ha estado delicioso. Normalmente prefiero las salsas cremosas porque las salsas rojas a veces pueden ser demasiado ácidas o abrumadoras, pero su salsa roja está muy bien equilibrada y sabrosa. Los vegetales siempre están frescos, y todo tiene sabor casero. De hecho, celebramos el Día de la Madre aquí, y aunque estaban extremadamente ocupados, el servicio fue excelente y atento. El estacionamiento es fácil ya que se comparte con otros negocios, lo que siempre es una ventaja. Sinceramente, no tengo ninguna queja. A mi familia y a mí nos encanta este lugar. Este se está convirtiendo rápidamente en uno de nuestros lugares favoritos, y definitivamente volveremos!

Fresh, perfectly balanced, and the kind of appetizer that disappears way too quickly. He ordered the Salmon Francesca and was blown away from the first bite. I had the caprese salad, which was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a classic done right. My mom went with the spaghetti carbonara and, as expected, it did not disappoint. Those of us who've been here before already knew what to expect, but watching someone experience it for the first time and love it just confirmed how consistently great this place is. The service really stood out too. The staff was friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. At one point, the table behind us accidentally dropped their pizza on the floor, and the waitress immediately took care of it and had a fresh one made without any hassle. That kind of customer service says a lot. Great food, great service, and a great experience all around. Already looking forward to our next visit.
