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.

My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner here. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was truly exceptional. This wasn’t our first visit, and as always, it exceeded our expectations. Each time we dine here, it’s an absolute delight, and this experience was no exception!

I visited with a few friends for Friendsgiving, and the experience was delightful. The food was absolutely delicious, and the seasonal drink menu added a festive and fun touch. The service was outstanding—our waiter was incredibly accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed. It's always a pleasure to return to this spot, and I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

We go all the time for dinner and dinner is excellent but more expensive. This time we went for their new brunch which was OUTSTANDING! I had the chicken and eggs wrap, son had eggs benedict and avocado toast, wife had pancakes. They were great with my 2 year old as well. Brunch is worth checking out.

We have always liked the food at Luciano’s and wondered why we hadn’t dined there in a long time. We quickly remembered it was the slow service. We were there a half hour without a drink.

It was as bright as a gymnasium in there. Dining and bar were under spotlights, vibe was not romantic or fun ,it felt like being in a cafeteria. Our server was not knowledgeable about the menu , forgot to put in our drink order , then forgot to put in one of our appetizers and we had to repeatedly ask for things. There was an extra meal on our bill that had to be taken off. Overall it was a huge disappointment . with all the options in Rahway , I think I'll skip this place next time. The bright lights and poor service, were really a turn off.

The food was delicious. I think my server may have been new. We waited 30 minutes for water after asking 3x. He was polite, but he definitely forgot any requests like water, lemon and paper napkins .
