    Halibut and Shrimp
    Mack C.

    The young lady that was my server was awesome very friendly and knew the menu very well along with the wine menu. The house red wine is good at a great price point by the way. The food was cook right but It was not a lot favor , but I was okay with that because I have high blood pressure. so, the season and favor was okay with me. Also their sea food is flow in fresh every week from Hawaii so they can run out of things. I had the Halibut and shrimp. The restaurant is date but nice for Elko NV.

    Grilled Chicken Alfredo
    Nathan D.

    Great little spot within walking distance from our hotel. My wife had the grilled chicken Alfredo and I had the Luciano burger. Both dishes were tasty, burger was delicious made with fresh local wagyu beef, Alfredo was yummy both items very reasonably priced. I tried to order a Caesar salad but the waitress let us know that all dishes come with a small Caesar salad which was a nice surprise. Salad was tasty , nice French bread served at the table also . Service was very good, a pleasant experience all the way around! Cheers

    Fun drive to get to Elko, NV

    Solid eatery in Elko! Maybe the only Italian restaurant in town. Big menu and solid wine list at quite affordable and reasonable prices! Very nice staff who worked hard. Not much on atmosphere and have to say a lot dated. Looked like a local favorite. Wife and I split the sausage lasagna and took some home! No charge to split our meal.

    Tiramisu! Delicious!!

    What a pleasant surprise! Passing through Elko, NV. Needed dinner, wanted local, not a chain. Went on a whim because we saw it as we were driving. Italian. Absolutely delicious! We got the stuffed manicotti with sausage. Yum!! Because we were traveling we couldn't have leftovers. Our waitress was understanding and the kitchen split the entree as well as the side salad. (They didn't split the salad, they gave us two!) And the tiramisu! Oh my goodness. Bustling and busy, but relaxing. I would definitely return!

    My family and I were on a trip and came across this place on yelp. It looks great on paper, but when we got to the place, I was a little skeptical by its looks. I was pleasantly surprised by its food. I left there extremely happy with what we had, the wine was even good. I do have the knock it down a little bit when you see water stains on the ceiling that are easily fixed. It makes you think twice. Otherwise if you want some good Italian food don't think twice the food was great.

    Waffle fries with pancetta sauce and Parmesan
    Sandee L.

    After a recommendation from a friend, we made it a point to have dinner here. We shared the special of the day waffle fries, which were poutine-ish with the pancetta sauce and sprinkled parm (3/5). Also got the fried calamari, which was tender and crispy (3.5/5). Where's the broth? The cioppino was actually a seafood pasta, and the scallops were flavorless. The tendon on the scallops were also still attached. Very disappointing! 2/5 My shrimp and lobster ravioli was tasty. The creamy sauce paired well with the plump ravioli, but was spoiled by fragments of lobster shell in a few of the ravioli. 2.75/5 Sampled our friends' spaghetti and meatballs and mushroom ravioli. Both ok. 3/5 Our food came out pretty fast, but things like water and bread were left unfilled for a while, even after multiple requests. Reservations were easy to secure, even on a Saturday evening a few hours prior. There were ample open tables while we were dining there. Small parking lot on the side or street parking.

    Chicken Piccata Plate
    Monique Q.

    Luciano's was a great place to stop into for lunch. Quaint little place with a full bar and bar seating or entry into main dining room. Parking was limited but available either in the lot next to building or on the main Street. Seating varies from bar seating, booths, to table seating. We went at lunch time and it wasn't too busy. Waitress was nice and personally knew our guide as well as other patrons in the restaurant. I personally like that- to me, that speaks volumes. Service was prompt and cordial with recommendations since myself and my guests hadn't been there before. Food was pretty good compared to other restaurants in the area. The chicken piccata was rather decent for the area. Chicken Alfredo looked good and grilled to perfection. The steak was also appropriately grilled- medium rare and the steak sandwich was a legit steak in a sandwich! I was particularly impressed by that as the bun didn't fall apart and was NOT soggy at all. Drinks were consistently strong and bathrooms were cute. It was affordable.

    Spinach Artichoke dip
    Stephanie G.

    So last nights dinner was good however our entrees were so disappointing. Let me explain... so first we ordered Garlic Parmesan Beer Battered Fries and Herbed Steamed Clams. We got a bottle of wine and everything was going good. My son got his pizza and ordered Fries with it. The waitress had heard that he loves pesto and asked if he wanted pesto fries which he excitedly agreed. (Our waitress was probably the most kind, sweet lady in the building.) Then mine and my boyfriends entrees came and we were both hit with utter disappointment. First, I ordered the Duck breast with Mushrooms and Spinach pasta, and he ordered Chicken Parm on Burrata Ravioli. My duck came out, so unbelievably over done I was so sad. I'm actually a pretty great cook, and duck is supposed to be medium rare. As you can see in the first pics of my entree, it was way...way over for duck. Somehow they managed as well to seriously over cook it while the skin was oily and soggy. Duck skin needs to be super crispy because of how thick and fatty it is. My BF noticed his chicken Parm was over cooked as well, and hard in texture hidden under all that Parmesan and didn't have the melted cheese on it that it usually does. We brought it up and the waitress was VERY SWEET, and asked to make it right. But unfortunately it took forever. Finally my Duck came back way better the second time (a bit too much on the rare side this time however still no crispy skin) and my boyfriends didn't come. And didn't come. And didn't come... Then the waitress comes out with it and apologized saying the chicken was "thick" and they cooked it but it was raw so they cooked it more. What had happened, is they hadn't pounded it out thinly enough to be done on the inside at the same time as the outside. They ended up comping the Chicken Parm because he didn't get to eat with us and by the time his chicken was actually done, it pasta had been sitting for quite awhile. Our waitress felt so bad and so did I. It wasn't her fault AT ALL. Sometimes the kitchen staff just has a hard night... and unfortunately this was one of those nights. (For reference a picture of the first chicken Parm he ever got there is included. You can see the HUGE difference)

    Ok let's do this! I was here because I heard and read good things about this place. I brought my wife for her 50th birthday here. Service: Everyone was just blah. Not good and not bad just blah. I got drinks from the bartender, talked with the hostess and had a server. All of them were just blah. We had to ask to get water. Our food took forever and no conversation from the barkeep. It was very boring. Also I told them privately it was my wife's birthday and that will come into play later. Food: Just like the service it was very boring. We ordered ahi tuna and shrimp piccata and the rib eye with Mac and cheese. I wasn't sure if I could order drinks from my server as it was a limited menu for drinks. I ordered my drinks from the bar and my wife ordered the lavender martini from the server. We got there right when they opened. The shrimp look like they thawed it out and placed it on the noodles. Broccolini had no seasoning and the tuna was boring. All of the capers were found at the bottom of the noodles so they basically non existent in the dish because we never got to them. The rib eye temperature was fine but absolutely had no seasoning. It was a seared steak on a plate. The highlight was the Mac n cheese which it shouldn't be. I returned over half the steak. Also my server instantly asked whose birthday it was right when she came to the table. HELLO I spoke privately to the hostess and bartender and told them who it was for a surprise. Thanks for ruining that. They also said they give a free dessert for that. Our server did ask what we wanted for dessert but didn't say it was on them and usually it's a chosen dessert they deliver without asking. Don't get me started on their Caesar salad in the 1970 wicker bowls with no croutons and cheap shredded cheese or that they give you bread in a wicker basket and you have the oil and vinegar on the table to use. I don't mind doing that but this was supposed to be fancy as we paid over 80$ for the 2 meals. Plus the steak was chewy. I'm sorry Luciano's and maybe you had an off night but this was bad all the way around and my wife threw away her to go plate. Tips: Butter bath your steaks with butter, thyme, rosemary and garlic and use salt. Grill your shrimp. Season your broccolini. Put capers on top. Season the Ahi. Tell your workers to be happy and friendly even if they fake it. Good luck as restaurant business is hard but if you want this be strict about it especially if you want to be fine dining.

    Pappardelle Chicken with garlic parmesan sauce. Wonderful

    Excellent food and service. Unique dishes that are delicious. Bread and salad come with the meal. A good wine selection

    Spaghetti & meatballs. Fresh shredded Parmesan

    Amazing service and the food is delicious. I ordered the crab cakes and the bolognese. Both were amazing and a must try if you are in Elko.

    This is a great place for a fancy date night (albeit on the more expensive side) with yummy pasta and fantastic cannolis for dessert.

    This is a solid three, the service was spot on and my cob salad was huge. Way to much for me in one…read moresitting.

    Covid rating was pretty good - All staff were wearing masks, servers wore gloves, they cleaned down…read morethe tables between customers (which they should do anyway, seating was well spaced out and they have discontinued their buffet which was probably mandated by CDC rules anyway. So it was pretty solid 5 stars on my covid rating. I try not to bee too harsh with casino coffee shops. I am not expecting gourmet cuisine and 5-star white glove service - especially in rural Nevada old time casino coffeeshops. Normally I would have given this a solid 4 stars after we were greeted seated and brought coffee (which was amazingly good) and huge glasses of orange juice that tasted pretty close to the real thing. It kind of went down-hill after that. My husband and I both ordered traditional Eggs Benedict with Hollandaise sauce with a side of hash browns. Now if there is one thing casino coffee shops uasually get right it is hash browns. Apparently not here. Our plates we loaded up with barely beige shredded potatoes that were not crispy not buttery, not salty, and definitely not cooked through. The Eggs Benedict did not fare a whole lot better. The "Hollandaise" was a gelatinous blob of bright orange something with a texture that resembled Velveeta with none of the flavor. The poached eggs were the best part - firm whites and runny yolks, She let us know there was a delay in the kitchen but our food would be out soon. The service would have been enough to bump this up to 4 stars. However, once we were served, she were done. When she brought our check and took away our plates with the meal half eaten, she did not ask if everything was alright. She said she would be our cashier. After waiting 10 minutes for her to come back we just left the money on the table. I am very disappointed by the level of service and the quality of the meal with should have been better - even by casino coffee shop standards.
