Luciano's Italian Restaurant 39091 Garfield Road, Clinton Township, MI 48038

"Had a wonderful time with my partner. There was live music when we were there Saturday night. The music was great. Our server was great and very attentive. When I couldn't find the bathroom the hostess was very quick to point me in the right direction. Overall a great dining experience and would go again."

"Great food and atmosphere. Bread and pasta were really good! Upscale kind of place so dress nice and breakout your wallet."

"Fine food. Neat atmosphere. Ordered veal. Way salty, alright taste. Pasta dishes were great, the tomato sauce was some of the best I’ve had. Pretty much everything, but the dish I ordered, was really good. I can’t say a thing bad about their garlic bread. It was so good. I’d take high cholesterol for it any day. Their bread in general is really good with the perfect texture. And lastly, gotta mention the calamari. Batter and everything was perfect. I can’t forget to mention the price. It is expensive, but besides the veal, I’d say the price is worth it. They have fairly sized portions and great taste make up for it. Overall: 8.3/10"

"Over the years, I've heard so many good things about Luciano's, so I was excited to visit. Unfortunately, we were not impressed. My wife and I visited on a Friday evening. We did not have reservations, but we were seated quickly as they were not very busy and had several open tables. However, we were seated in the corner, which was clearly not meant to have a table in this location as we were literally sitting in a doorway. The door we sat in front of was extremely drafty and cold, which made for an uncomfortable dining experience. The corner was also dirty and dusty. Once we were seated, we waited 30 min before anyone even came to our table. We ordered, and it was another 30 minutes, and my wife's "side" of pasta was served first. 10 minutes later, the rest of the entrées were served. By this time, her "side" was cold. This "side" of pasta was a joke, with maybe 10 penne noodles on a small bread plate. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo, and it was very bland with nearly no flavor. My wife had chicken parmesan, and it was ok, but again, nothing special. The sauces truly tasted like canned sauce. They never offered any fresh parmesan cheese or anything like most places do. During our time here, our server NEVER came back to check on us, so as we were very hungry, we ate the mediocre food. Once we were finished, our server came and asked if we needed boxes. We said yes and waited another nearly 15 minutes, and no boxes came. Finally, a young gentleman came and asked if we needed anything. We explained we were waiting on our server to bring takeout boxes, and he was kind enough to box up food for us. The best part of the meal was the bread. I was overall not impressed with the experience, which was disappointing given the reputation of this restaurant. My final thoughts, do better! Get that table out of the dirty corner and away from that drafty door, especially in the cold months. Make your "sides" of pasta just a little larger and put some love into your food. Get those sauces more flavorful. The servers need to be more attentive. We were very upset that this experience was so subpar. The owners reply to my review is a BOLD FACE LIE!!! There were SEVERAL open tables and we waited 28 minutes exactly before our server came to us. We literally were discussing leaving the restaurant when your server came to our table."

"First time visit in many years, the entire experience was top notch! Excellent food and service! Great spot for a date night. We had the swordfish, eggplant parmesan and chicken tortellini soup. All of the food was fresh, flavorful and cooked to perfection. I would highly recommend visiting Luciano's!"
