We picked out this restaurant based on the menu, and we weren't disappointed. Started with Chilli Roasted Cashews - a bit spicy but addictive. Venison was a tenderloin, sliced, perfectly cooked. Pasta with seafood was plentiful and delicious. Wait staff was very friendly and efficient (our waiter was from Charleston, S. C.!) More

Having been some time ago for a lovely dinner at Luciano's we went back for a family birthday dinner and were not disappointed. Friendly, attentive staff and wonderful food - every dish was as described on the menu and 4 of us ate our way through 3 courses and could not fault anything. The slow roasted garlic served with the... More

Should make a booking. Knowledgable and friendly staff. Good food. Felt like the staff tried to rush us out as they were quite full. More

We were pleasantly surprised by the ambience of Luciano's and enjoyed their excellent food. Best suggestions - the mussels (devoured by my wife) and a steak (perfectly cooked). Geoff Webb, Berry , NSW , Australia More

I had dinner at Lucianos last week and feel compelled to share how great it is. In a town full of places to eat, this one has certainly made my top 5 list and I am kicking myself I did not visit earlier. The service is attentive, fast, but not intrusive, The beer is cold, And the food is fantastic... More

Great food although the service was slow. They did get a large group arrive just after us and we nearly lost our booked table to the unbooked group. Then the other group got served before us. It was Rugby World Cup time, but the food was excellent and the service we did receive was fantastic. More

We visited this restaurant on our last night in Queenstown. We decided to book as a lot of the good restaurants are busy on the weekends/ evenings. From the moment I booked I knew it was going to be great. The waitress was friendly on the phone and welcoming. We arrived and started with a few drinks and entrees. Great... More
