   We enjoyed an evening of delicious food and drink, with attentive, yet unobtrusive, service. It rocked all the boxes for us!

   I honestly don’t now what people are going an about in the bad reviews recently! The food was full of flavour and the team were energetic and want to be there! Their menu knowledge was great as well!

   Really pleasant time having quiet lunch with my friend. There were some other customers around but no problems at all vis-a-vis social spacing, which we were particularly concerned about. Excellent waiters, attentive and polite without being intrusive, and the delicious food - we had pasta with tomatoes (mine was plus the chilli) and refreshing ice desserts - was just right so we didn’t leave feeling uncomfortably stuffed. Definitely plan to come back.

   Very brusque and unfriendly service. Half of dessert dishes were not available. Made to feel we were just a nuisance and they could not wait to close up.

   Luciano’s is the place if you’re looking for good menu choice, well presented food and excellent service. The Gnocchi Sophia Loren is especially delicious! Staff know the menu and make you feel really welcome

   The (rare) roast beef (plus perfectly cooked veg & Yorkshire pudding) made an excellent choice for Sunday lunch. The wine list was sensibly priced and well balanced. The only criticism was that we were not allowed enough time to enjoy our pre-meal drinks before the food was served.

    Saying the noise level is "energetic" - OpenTable's term - is like saying standing next to a roaring jet engine is "exciting." The food was very good, but sane conversation was impossible. I would recommend Luciano's food, but come only if you would rather look at your phones - or stare into each other's eyes - than engage in conversation.

    Good ambience, friendly service and delicious food - truffle pasta, artichokes especially good. The bill was surprisingly low for 4 people - around £35 per head for 3 courses.

    I found the menu a little odd, consequently, I must have ordered the "wrong" main meal for me; far too much chilli was used in my pasta dish and I was not warned by the description in the menu or the waiting staff. That said, my husband's meal was "stunning"! He had the cod. Tiramasu for desert was the saving grace for me. Service was excellent and I enjoyed the ombience.

    My husband and I were meeting friends for a meal before we went to the theatre. We arrived early so sat up to the bar and all had a cosmopolitan cocktail which was delicious. The food was as always authentic and delicious and not messed about with. Service was very pleasant and efficient.

    Easter Monday was a quiet evening to go, but there were still quite a few diners even early in the evening which gave a bit of atmosphere. The food was good, if not out of the ordinary, and the young person who served us was welcoming and efficient.

    Second visit in a matter of days… Was craving the Baked Ham but tried the Black truffle this time. Slowly working my way through the menu.Not only is the food fabulous, the staff are wonderful too! After eating, we had the opportunity to chill at the bar and have fun drinking various cocktails. Can’t wait to go back, great music too.

    Poor atmosphere, only one friendly member of staff (our waitress). Cold and drafty. Roast beef was very poor quality, tough and inedible. Won’t be rushing back I’m afraid.

    We were 3 ladies having a birthday lunch. My friend asked for a child's size spaghetti bolognese and she received spaghetti trains! When we asked the waitress she said they had run out of spaghetti! Unbelievable! We will not be returning.

    What a wonderful Italian restaurant. Located just round the corner from the Cathedral. A really lovely experience, staff were great, really attentive, the food was fabulous. Started with cocktails (they had a 2 for 1 offer on) then had a wild prawn ceasar salad to start followed by the lobster linguine and got tempted by the affogato to finish. All reasonably priced (and their champagne is very good value.) Will definitely be back.

    First time visiting Luciano’s and although the food was good, I have to say I was slightly underwhelmed. I ordered the lobster and prawn linguine, and for £27.50, I expected more than just three small pieces of lobster in the dish. Lacked seasoning too. The tiramisu, however, was divine! Great friendly service from Pepe.

    I had lobster and wild prawn linguini from Cornwall. Alas, the seafood did not arrive on my limp linguin. A fingernail full of seafood for the grand price of 27.50.

    Main criticism was that every time they emptied the coffee grinds holder of the coffee machine they have it a very hard bang against a metal surface resulting in a loud noise every few minutes. Very disconcerting!

    Dear Stephen, usually there is a rubber bar inside the coffee draw which broke this week and I am waiting the replacement to arrive. I will pick up with the team about changing the way they empty the used coffee today. I am glad you enjoyed the food and service.
