    Our experience at Luciano's was excellent! Being greeted by the hostess with champagne was a nice, surprise touch. Our server had a very gregarious personality, which we enjoyed very much. The homemade sourdough bread for the table was out of this world! Everyone loved their entrees...Chicken Fettuccinii Alfredo, Lobster Ravioli, and 2 orders of the Parmigiano Reggiano Pasta Wheel served tableside. What a show! No room for dessert. We'll have to try for that next time! The overall experience was worth the price. I highly recommend!!
