Luciano Italian Restaurant

We had a party of 7 this evening for dinner. Was told it would be an hour or more wait, but we were seated in about 35 minutes. Our waiter (Seth) was attentive, brought us plenty of salad and garlic rolls, and checked on us periodically to make sure all was good. Meals were tasty. Only issue was two of us ordered Chicken and Broccoli Fettucine, but there was virtually no chicken in the dish. For $18, there should be a reasonable amount of chicken, without having to ask for it. I did not want to make an issue of it this evening, but next time I will ask for my chicken on the side, so I see how much I'm getting.

We tried to make a reservation for a party of 7 on a Friday night. They said they no longer did that. When we arrived they told us it would be a 45 minute wait but I think it was more like 25 or 30. The service was great especially since they were understaffed. Our server brought us plenty of bread and salad and kept our drinks full. When we got our main dish it was HOT. We come here all the time and we'll continue to do so.

Went here for some good Italian food, got some of the worst food I've ever had at a restaurant. No flavor, no sauce, and the service was lacking. We were the only people in the back section of the restaurant, put in our order and waited for about 30 minutes... thinking the food was being cooked fresh we were happy to wait. People started filling the tables around us, and soon had their meals when we were still waiting on our spaghetti and the shrimp fettuccine. Managed to catch our waiter and ask about our food- he either put in our order and forgot about it after we first placed it, or put in the order and just let our food sit for about 30 minutes. When the food finally came to us, there was maybe a normal sized spoonful of spaghetti sauce, and I had to use the butter from the rolls to put on my noodles so they weren't too dry and had SOME flavor, the shrimp was rubber it was so cooked. The server came by once and asked how our mes were, I replied honestly with "not very good at all, but we were so hungry that we are eating it", he said "ok" and that was it. I've worked in the restaurant industry before- and this is the worst food and service I've ever had. Feel free to check out a place called The Local in Dalton ga- for affordable Italian that has sauce on the noodles, flavor in the food, and not overcooked! with timely service and staff too. We went there almost a week after and it was night and day. Price was more affordable, the food was hot and fresh, the noodles weren't dry and actually had flavor.

Pros: pasta cooked well, not overdone. Service was excellent. Good variety of dishes. Loved the caffe provino!! Cons: garlic rolls- mashed garlic in melted butter poured over bowl of bread. NOT a fan. Family style salad comes with all kinds of veggies, but dressed BEFORE serving. My first time here, or I would have requested dressing on the side.

Been to this place a good amount of times.. if you go on your birthday and provide your ID your meal is free. The food is really good but it is pricey usually most meals are between 12 to $20 so if you go there you got to be expecting to pay a good amount but the food's pretty worth it and the salad and garlic rolls are amazing.. the building itself could use a little TLC but the food is good and the atmosphere is nice
