The service cannot be faulted with staff with staff being very attentive. The menu offers a good choice of pastas, risottos, pizzas and other Italian main dishes. There is also a fish and seafood special. They have responded well to the credit crunch and have two fantastic midweek offers (both of which I have tried!). Monday to Thursday you can have any pizza from the menu with a drink (beer, wine or soft drink) for £6.95 making it the perfect place for a quick bite to eat with the family or friends after work. There is also a three course meal on offer for £15.95 with a superb range of choice, with the usual traditional dishes, and some modern dishes with a twist. On my last visit I opted for the Penne al Pistacchio which was the perfect combination of ingredients. This place can get busy at weekends so you will need to book in advance.

My main gripe is it always seems they are trying to get you in and out in the shortest possible time. On a couple of occasions whilst still eating our entres, they've brought our mains to the table, tried to serve them and then seemed put out when we ask for more time to enjoy our starters. Then obviously same re-heated main brought back out. Again same issue at the end of the meal, whilst enjoying our bottle of wine, pestered for desert and then bill brought to our table un-requested. Try not to sit in the back of the restaurant, it can get uncomfortably warm. All that said food is good and we keep going back every know and then.

The veg on a platter is also a unique touch so you can help yourself on how much you want. The young waitresses are very good and ensure you have a good meal. One aspect I didn't like was that it appeared the manager or owner was very bullish with one young waitress in front of the customers which wasn't very professional on his side. She didn't really appear to do much wrong in the first place. Overall the food is good and reasonably priced, large portions and good hospitality. Would recommend to others.

I'm so happy that my office is only 5 minutes from here…read more Luciano's is an Italian restaurant and deli hidden in a corner next to The Macron Stadium - the home of Bolton Wanderer's FC. I've been here a few times for lunch, but I usually grab a sandwich to go from the deli counter - today, i decided to sit in and catch up with a friend. They do everything here from sandwiches at lunch time to a full dinner menu - with all the usual Italian dishes making a appearance. I have only been here for lunch, so I can't comment on the dinner menu, although it looks varied with everything from antipasti, to pasta, pizza, steak.. you name it, they do it. So i'm quite excited to pop back here sometime and try this out. But for salads and sandwiches at lunch - spot on!

Sometimes an impromptu decision is the best decision. I had…read moreevery intention of coming to Luciano's for a well earned coffee and ended up having a really nice meal. When you walk in, it has a good atmosphere this place, not too open, not too cramped. There is a nice display of Pannatones, Coffee grounds, Pastas etc to buy, a great selection of wines and a well stocked chiller full of soft drinks. The waiter asked where I'd like to sit, I explained I would just like a coffee and that wasn't a problem. Here's where the seasoned pro sales skills come in... "I will leave a menu here in case you fancy anything to nibble" he said...well done, because it worked and before i knew it I had ordered the early bird special of any pasta dish and either a glass of wine, a peroni or a soft drink for £10.95. I asked if could have a coffee instead and that was fine... Damn you non existant will power!! I ordered a cheesey garlic bread side and the Gnocchi Etna. This was Gnocchi with spinach, chilli and sausage. As I sipped my lovely flat white, 20 minutes passed by and the food arrived. It was presented very well, there was easily enough Garlic bread to share if you needed to! The Gnocchi was really nice, not too spicy at all and the sauce was a nice consistency. It was maybe a little salty, but that was mainly due to the sausage and the pancetta that where in it I'm guessing. The waiter did a check back, which is good (if not it's a bit of a bug bear for me) and brought me the bill promptly when asked. Grand total of £13.90 which i thought was a bargain as I was well and truly full! I would recommend Lucianos to anyone that fancies either a nice relaxing coffee in different surroundings than your usual chain bought one and now if you fancied somewhere for a casual, yet still somehow sophisticated, light evening meal for a bargain price.

We were greeted at the door by a friendly waiter who showed us to our seats and after a few mins took our order.

It's just a shame the place was fairly empty as it's a wonderful establishment and should be bustling with customers! Go visit this place!

There is a small car park and room to park on the road outside. The owners (one of them is a Premiership Referee so look out for the odd famous face) live in the Bolton area and can often be seen working in the resaurant. It is my favourite place to eat. From the moment you walk in, you are made to feel welcome. There are 2 Italian waiters who speak excellent English and are more than happy to help you pronounce the items and even teach you some Italian. The menu is extensive with daily specials. There is a good choice of wine. There is a small bar area that you can retire to after your meal. The food is reasonably priced and freshly prepared to your specifications.

However, when you decide to give it a try and walk inside, you realise it's a genuine nice quality Italian restaurant. It doesn't feel like a pub inside. It's warm, pleasantly decorated with wall murals and Italian themed artwork, and welcoming and friendly staff. Even the music that plays is a mix of both traditional Italian trattoria style music as you might expect, but also modern Italian music, which is a nice touch. We're seated by one of the mural walls, and given some menus. The offerings are classic Italian, but at a reasonable price. When I notice that there's the option to have any of the pasta dishes as a starter option, I ask for a carbonara. The waitress tells me that it's actually the same price to go for a full normal sized carbonara, and I could simply take some home with me... I like her thinking! We order a garlic bread to nibble on, and a starter of carbonara, and the home made chicken liver pate. Both arrive in good time. The carbonara tastes fresh and creamy, and is perfectly seasoned. The chicken liver pate is light and creamy, full of flavour, and served with light toasted rounds, and a fruit chutney. Really pleasant. I had to force myself to stop eating the carbonara so I would have enough room for my main course! The staff were happy to box up the remainder for me to take home. For our mains we decide to order the penne pasticciata, and the pizza agrodolce respectively. As we wait for our mains, our drinks are kept refreshed, and we chat with some of the members of staff, who are friendly and warm, and happy to tell us about the decor and details of the venue. The pasticciata was perfectly cooked, deliciously creamy, with plenty of meaty filling, and covered in a wonderful melted mozzarella. Very tasty, and a huge portion... very filling indeed. The pizza was definitely a hand-made base, which was perfectly crisp and had a semolina crunch to it. The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and managed to stay light, rather than many pizzas suffering from heavy and gloopy toppings. It was delicious, and also predictably, I also had to take some of this home too! As I was now stuffed and content, I sadly had no room for one of the delicious looking desserts (I'd stood at the desserts chiller counter earlier, staring through the glass like a child at the window of a sweet shop). However my partner refused to throw in the towel just yet, and ordered some chocolate profiteroles. The profiteroles were light and creamy and well complimented by the caramel sauce. The citrus zest grated on top of the cream was wonderfully fragrant, and gave the dish a fantastic little zing. All all, the food was excellent and generously portioned considering how reasonable the prices were. The atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant, and the staff were attentive and warm without being intrusive. We will most definitely return. Don't judge this book by its cover, it's not just an old pub, and it's not pubby inside, it's lovely, and a real Italian treat.

I almost feel bad giving a 3 star review considering the price, however the quality of the food…read morejust wasn't 4 star worthy. Midweek (mon-thurs) they do any pizza or pasta for £3.95 - so on a Tuesday evening when we couldn't be bothered cooking, we thought we'd give it a go! I started with a glass of Pinot Grigio which was nice, the girlfriend had a glass of the house red (Merlot I think) and we shared a cheesy garlic bread which was nice also! The main course (the £4 deal) is where I was let down, I opted for cannelloni and I love cannelloni so I was really excited! The sauces where great and it was piping hot (probably too hot) but the meat underneath was really dry and tasteless which gave me the impression it was a microwave job! However, my girlfriend had Lasagne and said that was fantastic - so maybe I got a one off bad dish! For the price, you can't really argue either way can you!

The building from the outside is recently updated and looks charming and attractive. On the inside it is equally impressive and is very modern and new. There is a warm and friendly welcome on your arrival and pre booking is advisable as this is a popular restaraunt and fills up pretty quickly, especially midweek when there are often special priced courses. The menu offers good choice at reasonable prices and there is a specials board too. The food arrives efficiently, is well presented and of a high standard, delicious.
