The dishes I ate will be rated separately because of their range in quality. Bread Basket: 4/5 The bread basket that came with the prime rib that I ordered was better than most. It came with multiple freshly baked dinner rolls with some char on them and crispy breadsticks, complemented by a garlicky butter. Soup of the Day (Seafood Bisque): 5/5 This soup was the best dish of all that I had ordered. Despite being a side dish for the prime rib, its rich flavor overshadowed everything else I ate for the evening. House Salad: 2.5/5 The salad is a standard salad that you can skip. Nothing special. Louisiana Lemon Pepper Walleye: 4/5 The walleye was the second best dish. It was a well seasoned, large filet that had a great tartar sauce to go with it. This is a dish I would order again if I came back. Prime Rib: 3/5 The prime rib was surprisingly underwhelming. The edges of the prime were a little tougher than I'd like, and the prime rib itself came out a little cold. The au jus could have been reduced to be a little more concentrated as well. Overall, if I were to come back I would choose to order some different menu items, apart from the soup.

UPDATE after revisiting:…read more Unfortunately, my opinion of this place hasn't changed. The restaurant feels extremely dated, the service was below average, and the food was below average as well. What makes it frustrating is that this place has so much potential, but the overall operation feels stale and stuck in the past. There seems to be very little culture or energy among the staff. Some employees give the impression that they've been doing the same thing for 10 years and are simply going through the motions. Nothing feels fresh, exciting or particularly memorable. The biggest missed opportunity is the evening and weekend business. After 8 PM, there should be a reason for people to stay here for drinks--an interesting cocktail program, better bar atmosphere, music, events, late-night specials or something that creates energy. Instead, people looking for that experience are going elsewhere. That's a huge amount of potential business walking out the door. This feels like an upper-management problem more than anything else. The location and foundation are already here. What it needs is fresh leadership with a clear vision for the food, service, bar program, employee culture and overall guest experience. With the right operator, I genuinely think this could become one of the most popular restaurants in the area. Right now, though, everything feels like it's running on autopilot. Ownership needs to recognize how much potential is being left on the table and bring in leadership capable of taking this place to the next level.

We've driven past this place countless times without noticing it, but our craving for something new…read moreled us to stop in. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. It's cute inside. We started with the mozzarella fritta, which was absolutely delicious! The marinara sauce accompanying it was bursting with flavor. However, the dinner salad was a bit underwhelming. It only had simple toppings like tomato, red onion, and cucumbers. I opted for the house dressing, which was supposed to be a blend of oil, vinegar, and Italian spices. To my dismay, despite vigorous shaking, all the seasonings remained mostly at the bottom of the plastic cup, with little to no vinegar. It was okay, but not particularly impressive. For the main course, I ordered the baked Italian combo. The lasagna was good, though a bit overcooked and with some crunchy bits. The chicken parmigiana was also tasty. However, the meat ravioli that came with it was a major disappointment. It tasted like a plain noodle with a large amount of unflavored meat. To sweeten the deal, we had crème brûlée for dessert. It was enjoyable, but a bit peculiar. Half of it was piping hot, while the other half was ice cold. Despite the oddity, the flavor was still great. Overall, the food was okay, and I might return to this place in the future.

We came here to celebrate a friend's birthday on a Tuesday and this was my first time here. My…read morefriend has been here multiple times and she recommended this one and I'm so glad I got to try this. Ambience is very good, not very noisy which I always appreciate because then I can't have conversations. Food was amazing too and so was the service. We had limoncello martinis to start with that were decent. For appetizer we shared a plate of arancine al burro which the server recommended and it was amazing. I had the lobster gnocchi which was the special of a night and we also ordered salmon. Both dishes were amazing. Server got to know that my friend was celebrating a birthday so he took off from the bill the pistachio cannoli that my friend ordered and while I myself had the multi chocolate gelato. Now if I had lived any closer, I may have hopped in more frequently just for that gelato multiple times in a month, it was that good. We will be back again for sure.

There was three of us that came to celebrate a birthday on Saturday 1-24-26. We had made…read morereservations for 6 PM but had to wait over 30 minutes for our table to be ready. It was packed inside and when we inquired on the wait time the hostess mentioned people were staying long and they were very behind. Once we finally got seated we got a private booth with curtains. A warm bread basket (very delicious) quickly arrived and our drink orders taken. The drinks here are quality pours and they brought us extra olives and cherries which we thought was a nice touch. We started off with calamari and escargot for our appetizers. Calamari was plentiful and had big meaty pieces. The breading was a little too salty though. I'm used to calamari coming with a side of marinara but this came with cocktail sauce. It was nothing special and probably wouldn't order it again. The escargot, normally a favorite of mine, was to rave about either. The sauce it came in was very bland and my girlfriend ended up adding salt to it to make it taste better. Main courses were a better choice. I had the gnocchi with Palomino sauce and it was excellent. They give quite a big portion so I had enough leftovers for the next day. The birthday girl got the Veal Mamma Assunta my other friend went with the shrimp Casalinga (their house speciality). They both said they liked their choices but it wasn't anything exceptional. I think depending on what you order certain dishes are better than others. We had a good experience and the portions are large but it just seemed there were a few things lacking that could have made it a great experience. I would still recommend Luciano's but I would come here when it wasn't a busy weekend or during lunchtime.
