I have been to this place twice and I should have learned my lesson the first time. I stopped in last night and what a disaster. The food is terrable and the service poor. I voiced a complaint to the owner, Luciano, about the poor food quality, he told me the problem was mine, not his. Great, I guess I... More

We walked into this place at lunch time and it was almost deserted. With no host to welcome us, we walked around, chose a table and set down. After a few minutes and still no host or waiter in sight, we walked to the counter and hot ourselves a couple of menus. When the waitress finally arrived I asked about... More

My husband and I had the worst meal of our life on Nov 5/11. This restaurant should be shut down. I am not sure if some of the meal was even real food. We went to Bellevue for the first time and this restaurant put a real black cloud on our weekend. I had the Veal scaloppini Marsala, it was... More

My wife and I went here for dinner Friday evening and we were both very dissapointed. The food was just ok, the portions were small, and the price was spendy. $9 for a side Caesar Salad, to go along with a $17 plate of pasta. The bread served was very good, about the only thing saving this from a 1... More

We went here for their $10 lunch specials. We had two different kinds of pizza, they both were just o.k. My coffee was cold before I got some creamer. The restaurant itself is nice, but the service was really slow, two larger tables and two small tables were occupied. There was only one waitress and someone who might have been... More

I can only assume the lousy reviews are from people that put ketchup on everything. This restaurant serves authentic NO MSG food - most people are used to "North American" italian and may not appreciate the more subtle natural flavors. The entrees are generous portions at reasonable prices and the wine is also reasonably priced. Best way to order is... More

Thank goodness I ate at Ristorante Luciano BEFORE I read the reviews on TripAdvisor. This place is a very good eating establishment. Granted, we HAD made reservations, were seated promptly and with friendliness. The restaurant was three quarters full on a Tuesday night around 7 PM. The decor was muted but reminded me of eating in restaurants in Italy. The... More

We stopped here for a glass of wine and opted to order a 9" pizza. The crust tasted like pita bread with canned tomatoes, minimal cheese and some sort of sausage that had absolutely no seasoning in it. There was absolutely no spices on this entire pizza--we asked for hot peppers to doctor it up. I asked my husband what... More

Should have known from the moment I called to make reservations that this place was a loser. They seemed surprised that someone would call to make reservations, and didn't take down a name. Basically, every element of our meal was horrendous, the only thing my wife and I could do was laugh. Our waiter was reluctant to answer questions about... More

...as we walked around to check out the restaurants in Bellevue, we saw Luciano Ristorante and it was pretty empty....we went past several other places and they were packed....but for some reason (perhaps for the quiet) we went back and ate at Luciano Ristorante. Beware the quiet. It was there for a reason. Now the restaurant is all bad, mind... More
