    We went with a party of 4 for Friday night pizza. Love the thin crust, with lots of toppings to choose from. The hot antipasto for 4 was delicious, really different sauce on the calamari and mussels that was creamy and very tasty! Our waitress, Desiree, couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. Because the main room was kind of noisy and one person has an issue hearing, we sat on the bar side which was much quieter. A nice cosy corner. We will be back soon!

    Celebrated my birthday at Luciano’s and everything was great from beginning to end. The manager accommodated my request to sit next to the fireplace and made my birthday special by writing happy birthday ( in chocolate) on the dessert plate. The drinks were delicious and the food was really good. My family and friends loved it too.
