It was my first time at Luciano’s, and my friends and I had a great experience. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, with the festive Christmas decorations and the fireplace created a cozy ambiance. For apps, I ordered the grilled lamp chop lollipops, which was incredibly flavorful. Then I had the scallops with butternut squash risotto which were both plentiful and delicious. Service was great overall.
