Luciano’s Italian Brick Oven

The prices have gotten out of hand and quality has suffered and I’ve been going there off and on for 30 years. I just paid $ 15.70 for a small pizza (6 small slices) with 3 toppings, one of which was non-​existent (about 8 slices of onion). Employees must have been given an incentive to rate them as the best pizza. Try Vincent’s Pizza Park for pizza and Tillie’s for Italian if you’re in the area. Save your money and go elsewhere, I will.

Love the eggplant parm (my favorite in the area), Italian hoagie is good, as is the larger one with sausage and pepperoni, like Luccis pizza, their Diablo, and chicken parm too, I’ve been coming here since the early 80’s (in the old rainbow shopping center) their food is consistent.
The restaurant area is noisy and sometimes service can be slow if you’re looking for some quiet space you may want to select a booth in the bar area.
We’ve had 2 events here, my moms wake and granddaughters birthday, both were alright… The only issue I’ve had was when trying to schedule my dads 80^th birthday party, after several attempts, their events coordinator did not call me so we booked at nearby Woodys which worked out to our advantage because we had the entire restaurant to ourselves along with great food and service.

Always busy. Go early. Great assortment of Italian Food

Now even ordering pizza is a risk. About a month ago my husband called to order a pizza and they said 15 minutes. It took almost an hour for the pizza to be ready, yet they were still telling everyone on the phone 15 minutes for pickup. The last time I ordered pizza for pickup the girl on the phone was really rushed and they forgot 1 of the 2 toppings I had asked for. I’m just not ready to give up on the pizza yet but we will see.

Overpriced. Bad wine. Less than stellar food. Server never asked if our food was good. Don’t waste your money

Food is good, overpriced in my opinion, but was good for an occasional treat. Pasta Luciano is yummy which is their red sauce and alfredo sauce mixed together. Chicken Parm is another favorite. The Wedding Soup is spot on.
The servers are usually very pleasant but the hostesses and managers are TERRIBLE. They have the attitude that you are bothering them by being there and if something is wrong, they try to turn it around on you. If that only happened once, I’d just brush it off, but it has happened several times. Sorry, but when you order a pizza for delivery and they bring you something completely different, I’m not taking partial blame for that.
I’d suggest you just go to Tillie’s Restaurant down the road.

Was so excited to try the place as I drive by it all of the time, but when we went last night I was definitely disappointed. The sauce was good, but everything else was bland. I had the shrimp alfredo, and my hubby had lasagna. Probably won’t be returning.

Not keeping up. Waiting a long time for entrees. Dirty tables not bussed in a timely fashion. Started and stopped. Pretty unsightly. Doesn’t seem that busy for a Tuesday. Wedding soup was good. Bread with oil & spices was nice but we tended to eat too much bread waiting for our food. Flatbread was pretty good but the garlic was a bit acrid tasting. Server didn’t clear soup bowl or dirty plates very timely but service was exceptionally friendly. I’d come back.

Used to love their Chicken Alfredo. After more than one bad experience though, I’ll pass. Ordered Chicken Salads for work one time and all that ate it got sick. Was told that it couldn’t be from the chicken because food poisoning takes 24hrs. We all got sick right after eating. Food is always cold when delivered too. Overpriced for the quality in my opinion.

Ugh this food is sooo boring and bland. Don’t attempt to buy a bottle of wine cause they have no clue how to ring it to sell it to you or open it. I also don’t recommend for groups either, the wait for food is long.

We have coming to this restaurant for years. I have noticed the past year or so that soft drink and iced tea refills are not offered, even if the server notices that your glass is empty. I was in Belgium a couple of years ago, and saw that if you need a refill, you wave your glass in the air and this alerts the server. I guess this is what you need to do at this restaurant.

Not a fan of much here. Pasta sauce is sweet as well as the pizza sauce. Bread sticks with cheese and garlic are awesome. But again if you like sweet sauce this place is for you. I do like their Alfredo pizza as well. Just average

Had the pan pizza and a salad. Pizza was terrible salad was just as bad. Tasteless sauce and cheese, the dough was no better than a frozen crust even though they made it. Salad was a little bit of bag lettuce and little else. Would never go back even if it was free.

On Sat. Feb. 28, 2015 we stopped at this restaurant after a hockey tournament. The meal was not that bad even though we ordered mussels as an appetizer and half to the mussels were not open. They were sent back and the next order was the same yet they still charged us for them??? I later notice on my bill that my drink (which was Makers Mark on the rocks) I was charged $ 2.00 for the rocks (ice). If I had known that I would have gotten the drink straight. The kids had pizza and were charged extra for the pepperoni. This restaurant is a rip off joint. I will never stop there again and will advise all of my friends as to the restaurants policy.

I had never before heard of this casual Italian restaurant, but my husband’s grandma recommended that we all eat dinner here. We showed up on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was packed with customers. We had to wait several minutes for a booth near the bar. The bar was not our preference because it was noisy, but at least we got a place to sit. I liked the taste of my house salad, the table bread with olive oil, my broiled cod with broccoli, and my husband’s chicken parmesan (yes, I ate some of his food!). The waitress brought out the food without long waits. The price was not expensive. The problem that we had was that the waitress gave only one out of four people a drink refill, so three people had drunk all of their first drink and were very thirsty. I was sucking furiously on my straw to drink the melted ice cube water. Because of the lack of drink refills, my husband left a small tip. Overall: decent food for the price.

This place has gone downhill. Food was cold. The service was very slow and not personable. Waitress was one of the worst I’ve ever had. It was as if she was doing us a favor by waiting on us. Needs improvement or the waitresses need less tables

We were looking for a bite to eat, close to home, yet somewhere new. After some thought we ended up at Lucianos in White Oak. It was odd entering, seeing a sign saying «Please wait to be seated» with no hostess or waitstaff in sight. There were empty tables, so it was odd when someone finally came up and gave us a pager for a 5 minute wait. Shortly after another hostess arrived, wondered why we were told to wait, and quickly seated us.
When our waitress arrived, we ordered a couple beers and bruchetta for an appetizer. When it came, it was quite large in size, not portion. Flavorful and had a zesty marinara sauce on the side.
Dinner was Chicken Parmesan. This dish is how I gauge an Italian restaurant because it allows me to sample the pasta, sauce, and how well they can cook chicken. Unfortunately my chicken was significantly overcooked. Perhaps it was frozen instead of fresh? The sauce was flavorful and the pasta was al dente.
The BF ordered a meatball calzone. He felt the meatballs were bland and the only flavor he got was when he added the marinara to it.
To quote 10 Things I Hate About You: «I know you can be overwhelmed and you can be underwhelmed, but can you ever just be whelmed?» To me that is Lucianos — sub-​par service, decently priced, and certain foods are okay.

It’s a real shame about this place. It used to be excellent, but it’s really gone down hill.
To begin with, the salads lately are made up of nothing but lettuce cores, and brown ones at that. There isn’t a piece of leaf lettuce to be found, but there are enough carrot shavings to sink a ship. A few years ago they made a real good salad that was full of fresh romaine, but I guess times are tough. The chicken parmesan is chronically undercooked, to the point that it tastes like rubber.
The employees also disappoint. Sit-​down service is okay, but prepare yourself for blood-​boiling frustration if you try and place a take out order. The girls working the phones are so distant and inattentive that, the last time I called, they asked me for my name four times, what side I wanted three times, and then put me on hold for 5 minutes, and then hung up on me! I called back and cancelled my order. Take my advice: go there to sit down or don’t go at all. This isn’t a new occurrence, either; with each (increasingly infrequent) call they seem more stoned.
I won’t give Luciano’s one star because of the happy memories I have of this place, but I’ll give it the next worst thing. If you want a good meal with good service, drive five minutes down the road to Tillie’s in McKeesport.

Had the Monday lunch special: good healthy chicken salad with lots of chopped veggies and good balsamic vinegar dressing. Wedding soup was tasty also.

This is our favorite pizza for sit down family time!
Good service and delicious food, simple and reasonable prices.
Only dab thing is they take too long to serve and I have not been able to figure out how a simple pizza can take so long.

Ok, my extended family keeps making us go and every time I leave angry that I agreed to go in the first place. This was my THIRD awful experience. The service is HORRIBLE. We even called ahead this time to make sure we’d have a table ready and we still had to wait for 20 minutes to be seated. When the hostess took us to our table, most of the restaurant was empty and the lobby was FULL with people waiting outside.
I’m a vegetarian, so when I ordered I asked if there was meat in their sauce. The waitress said no, but there is meat juice in the sauce. She said «in case you are allergic to meat, its okay because they just drain the juice off of meat and use it in the sauce, but there are no meat chunks.» That eliminated 99% of the menu for us.
The food takes FOREVER to arrive. Our salad and bread plates were never cleared from the table so we started stacking dishes at one end of the table. My sister-​in-​law asked the waitress if someone could please clear the table, but that request was ignored.
I had the bruschetta as my entrée which was smothered in cheese so it was more like pizza bread than bruschetta. My husband had manicotti and it was cold when it arrived and completely flavorless.
Unfortunately, I’d have a better experience at Olive Garden.
