"Very good food, attentive staff. We had to finish dinner within an hour and they accommodated the request well. Wife liked the seared tuna, I had linguine Luciana, which was quite good, and the linguine was al dente as requested. A bit too dark inside, but tastily decorated with old books and wine racks."

"I went to this restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. In fact this is the second year in a row that we celebrated with a dinner at Lucianas. Jose was our waiter and he is excellent. Friendly, happy, and always on the spot. Without a doubt, the best Italian restaurant in Dana Point. My wife stated that is was best salmon she had ever had. I tasted it, and she was right. The Caprese salad was big enough for two and I had the Pollo Florentine. Very good. They even prepared a special dessert with a little candle on it as their way to wish my wife Happy Birthday as well."

We asked someone for drink service while we waited (after 20 minutes) and they never got back to us. I asked for my meat med. rare and got well done.

"Everything about this place is awesome!! First off the wine list is insane with choices from all around the world. Second, the food is very authentic. If you've ever been to Italy and you want a restaurant that is very close to the food you eat while you're there, this is the place. Service was great, the people were friendly and excited that you, as a customer, were there. So next time you're in Dana Point, California make sure you stop in at this little local Italian gem. You wont regret it!"
