    Very much enjoyed our evening. Great views and good food in the heart of Dumbo. Waterfront views if NYC, Brooklyn Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge. The whipped ricotta appetizer was excellent! Pizzas and pastas were all very good as well.

    The restaurant is very pretty and cool. The warm bread and appetizers were really great. The entrees fell short. But the service was perfect. A bit expensive without alcohol.

    I took my team out to Luciano’s for an end of year celebration lunch! We sat in the room with the bar and we had an excellent meal that was both high quality and not rushed. The noise level in the room was very good and we did not have trouble getting understanding the conversation. Our group started with appetizers fried calamari and burrata with tomatoes and peppers. This was followed with entrees of the halibut from the main menu, veal milanese with greens and veal franchise with asparagus and mashed potatoes. Everyone enjoyed the entrees and we remarked that the portions were generous. Our server was professional and attentive and offered our choice of how fast we wanted our entrees to be served after the appetizers. We had plenty of time to talk and have a good time! Thank you to the team at Luciano’s.
