Ristorante Luciano

This place is very hard to get into. Always booked and very busy. The sauce is amazing. We’ve had their Lobster pasta special several times, Sea Bass and Rigatoni Pomodora. All dishes are wonderful. Super friendly servers. It’s a great choice if you’re in the mood for Italian food.

Wonderful experience. We will return! This place is BYOB. Pistachio Gelato was amazing! The lobster and shrimp special with homemade pasta was so good. My family enjoyed the veal parm and chicken marsala.

My wife and I visited this evening thinking we had a reservation. The reservation was mistakenly made by me for the following week. What impressed me was that Joe, without a hesitation, sought out a way to make room for us to dine. We were made to feel unbelievably welcome the entire time. Not only was the service impeccable but the food was to die for. It was so nice being in this space with so many people who were enjoying their evening. The entire evening, as people were leaving, I could not help but hear the sincere thank you’s that were being offered to the staff. This was truly a special experience and I recommend anyone who is visiting Stone Harbor to visit this restaurant.

We loved that you could make a reservation in Stone Harbor. It was a party of 8.

The food was fabulous!! The Linguini Alfredo was to die for and the best I have had in years!
The bass stuffed with crabmeat was excellent.

If you love Brussels sprouts, get them as an appetizer. The whole table loved them!!! They were the best we all have ever had.

I highly recommend this place. It’s a BYOB, and easy to bring a few bottles of wine on your own!

Such a great dining experience in beautiful Stone Harbor. Our group enjoyed everything we ordered; from appetizers to the desserts! Loved the Pasta Putanesca and Ricotta cheesecake! Very efficient, friendly service and a lovely ambiance!! Highly recommend while you are visiting Stone Harbor!!

We have been here many times but tonite the special with orrichetta in a blush sauce was outstanding as were the focaccia and profiteroles. This place stands the test of time and never disappoints. Chef deserves a nice raise😎 Thank you to the owner, chef and wait staff for providing exceptional environment, food and service!

I look forward to my dinner at Ristorante Luciano every summer. I always go with one of their specials that they are running at the time. The crispy brussel sprout appetizer was delicious and the gnocchi special was out of this world. My dad always goes with the Spaghetti with Crabmeat and enjoys it every time. Melissa was an amazing waitress. I'm looking forward to my next meal at Ristorante Luciano!

Rating: 4.75/5.00

From the apps to the entrees, casual fine-dining was balanced with the plating of beautiful, organized, and enticing dishes

Anything at the shore presents a premium, but the portion-sizes and quality of food make it well worth the price.

Luciano’s elevates classic Italian dishes to the next level of flavor. Our tastebuds did a cartwheel and every bite stuck the landing, it left you wanting more.

The staff maintained a friendly, professional, attentive, and outstanding level of service from start to finish.

Exposed brick walls, wooden tables, and mood-lighting made for a wonderfully intimate experience. Our one critique is the opportunity for a less crowded seating arrangement. Although, when in good company, nothing is too close for comfort.

Dish Recommendations:
- Starters: Caesar Salad, Focaccia, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, Bruschetta
- Entrees: Chicken Piccata, Rigatoni Pomodoro, Fettuccini Alfredo
- Desserts: Homemade Pound Cake, Crème Brûlée Cake, Chocolate Soufflé

Countess Ego reminds you, elegance is learned, my friends. Eat well…

We have been eating here annually for at least a decade, we have never had a bad meal. The staff and service are always wonderful and the food is absolutely delicious. It’s traditional Italian done right and executed flawlessly. The bruschetta is the best I have ever had and we get it every single time, the Caesar salad is top notch. Multiple pastas are made in-house and also the gnocchi. The specials are always phenomenal. One of our favorite places to eat when in Stone Harbor.

Top notch experience all around! Donato was amazing and personable and the food was phenomenal. We will definitely be back.

First time dining at Ristorante Luciano and it definitely didn’t disappoint. The food was amazing from start to finish and the dessert was out of this world. Lauri provided amazing service and told us to take our time even though our reservation was closer to closing time, which was appreciated. Overall a great experience and definitely recommend!

Excellent food. Our server was both attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. It was a great dining experience.

Amazing food fettuccine Alfredo is so good. All the food was amazing the waiters are so nice. fact get a reservation for when they open because you get seated and food faster

My SIL was able to get us a much sought after reservation. Every dish was delicious and our server, Lori, was excellent. She was so personable and helped us select the perfect meals! Can't wait to go back!

We went to Luciano’s last night for dinner. It was our first time there and it did not disappoint. The focaccia bread is delicious as well as the Caesar salad. The special brussel sprout appetizer is a winner. There were four of us. We ordered the homemade spaghetti with crabmeat, the ravioli with meatballs, and the special, homemade fettuccine with shrimp and lobster. All were fantastic! Mary, our server, was wonderful. She made great suggestions and obviously knew the menu and ingredients. Great Italian food. We will be back!

Hands down, the best veal dish I’ve ever had! Ambiance is lovely, portion size was great and it’s reasonably priced as a byob. My husbands chicken dish was delicious too. They were also very accommodating to our 2 8 year olds even though there was no kids menu. Would highly recommend!!

Order the chicken & eggplant parmigiana & bolognase! We ordered takeout for 25 on annual family vacation at 1pm & Joe had it ready by 5:30pm same day. Every item was soooo good. Best on the island! We'll be back next year!

Where to start? This place is still my favorite Italian restaurant. I have been to countless over the years, some terrible, some great. Often the good ones go down in quality due to the chef relinquishing kitchen duties to hired help. Since Ristorante Luciano opened there’s been one head chef who is there every day to ensure the quality of the product remains consistent, LUCIANO! Not only do I respect that, but I appreciate that as a customer. His food Is always perfectly season which is usually one of my biggest critiques of restaurants that I go to. The Cesar salad and it’s dressing are a fantastic way to start the meal (not to mention his appetizers that I had, escargot and fried Brussel sprouts). The fresh pasta is obviously something he has perfected over a lifetime of learning at the feet of his family (Bucatini with a ramp pesto!!!!). He makes, hands down, the best lasagna I have ever had, with pasta light as a feather and bechamel instead of ricotta. It is one of the few places where I can say the meatballs are as good as eating my grand-mom’s (sorry mom mom). Even the house made desserts with an expertly made double espresso at the end of the meal is done to perfection. There’s a reason this place is always booked. Call ahead and get a reservation, you won’t regret it. Salud!

I am visiting the usa and I am at Stone Harbor. I am Italian and so I looked up an Italian restaurant. I found Luciano’s. It is very Good. The employees are very kind. The food is very good. Thank you Luciano’s
