Downtown Akron's Finest Italian Cuisine

Megin Felts

This restaurant was a very nice Italian restaurant. The food was great, my husband and I had a very nice waitress. Good service and the chef even brought our food out. Although I do feel like for the price of the food there should be more flavor. It was delicious but could have better. We even had a nice glass of ... complementary champagne when we walked in. I am pleased. Read More

You needn’t leave Akron, Ohio, to enjoy a fantastic Italian dinner! My husband and I arrived early and were told we could go ahead and be seated. The hostess then offered us complimentary champagne before taking us to our table. Our server, Matthew, hit all the right notes: warm, helpful, efficient, honest - just as ... professional as he could be! The food was outstanding: fresh, seasoned well, served at appropriate temperatures, portioned sensibly - just delicious! Our cocktails and wine selections were also top-notch. After sharing a dessert, we received our bill in a timely fashion - and we were stunned by how inexpensive the meal was! Our experience at Luciano’s could easily compete with New York eateries run by well-known chefs and was a third of the cost! Please please please try Luciano’s for your next fine Italian night out!

Went to Luciano's at Northside on Furnace St. for dinner last night and it was great! Our third time there since they opened in March. Husband had the veal chop that looked fabulous and I had the parmesan pasta wheel which was wonderful. Mark brings out the pasta and a half wheel of parmesan cheese on a cart and ... flames a portion of rum to caramelize the cheese wheel and then adds the pasta and does his magic and voila! What a show! And something you won't find anywhere else in the county. Stella was our server and she does a great job also. Highly recommend! Read More

My husband and I just happened upon this place looking for somewhere nice to go for my birthday and it was a very good thing we did! Seth was our service and he was great! We also loved all of the food - the bread was great with the rosemary butter, I got the wheel pasta that they make table side and the gentleman who ... did it was wonderful as well! Their Brussels sprouts were the only ones my husband has ever liked because they were so good, and both of our salads were delicious. They make almost all of their pasta In house and it was so good! Service was lovely and everyone was so attentive and professional. The atmosphere was great as well. We will be back! Read More

Ryan always checks identification which is extremely responsible. He makes the best espresso martinis I’ve ever put in my mouth. So divine, so delicious, and put me in the perfect mood. Paige I fear is the best manager I’ve ever spoken to. She’s dropdead gorgeous and so kind the customers. Now Seth has a beautiful ... curly flow and has great opinions on the menu really helped a girl out.Noah was extremely generous and gave us extra expensive honey truffle(shhhhhh) . Will and Christian are the chefs and they cooked the most amazing meal I’ve ever tasted in my life. highly recommend! Read More

Went with 8 people to celebrate an anniversary. We all were raving about our meals and the appetizers were delicious also. Our server was so attentive and gave great recommendations on the menu! Can't wait to go back!

What a nice place! The service was impeccable. All the staff were a team, the young man who was the bar back was upbeat and helpful. Aaron the bartender truly enjoys his job and added such fun flair to his role. The gentleman with glasses who I presume was the manager ( or was just a natural leader) stepped in to help ... all the staff. Filled our waters, took our dishes, all while waiting tables of his own. The drinks here were AMAZING and the food was excellent. My only critique was their two person tables are extremely close together making it uncomfortable when it’s busy. Read More
