Luciana's - Dana Point

My wife and I wanted some good authentic Italian food for Mother's Day 2021. A quick search on Google Maps turned up Luciana's Ristorante in Dana Point California. We were impressed by the Authentic Italian dishes they offer, the quaint atmosphere and the old world decor, it feels like you're dining at a real Italian farmhouse. We opted for Linguine Luciana, a pasta seafood dish with, Shrimp, Mussels, Clams and Scallops with a Marinara Sauce over Linguine pasta. Paired with Italian Pinot Grigio wine, both the wine and food were very delicious and met our expectations for dessert we picked the Creme Brule and It was just so authentic we couldn't be happier.

Honestly, I'm upset I haven't been here before this year. We've lived in the immediate area almost a decade and it was actually visiting family who made the reservation. The food is wonderful. Cocktails are delicious. Service was top notch. We will definitely be back for more wonderful Italian food soon.

Food was absolutely perfect and delicious when it's arrived. Gave four stars because service was not good. Waited for food to come an hour and a half. One of the guests was not getting a food for another 10 min or so after everyone was served.. They finally brought his plate and it was cold! ...He didn't complain, because was too hungry and others were finishing their meals already... Our group was 10 people. Waitress could not split three ways the bill. We had to grab a menu and calculate ourselves.

Great ambiance, friendly staff from the car valets right down to the busboy. The meal was excellent and the service, very fast. We left Mike, our waiter, a large very well deserved tip. Give Luciana's a try. You won't be disappointed!

We haven't been here for over 30 years. We'll be back soon. From the greeting of Hostess Linda to our server Charle, the service was excellent. Our food served in a light olive oil and the eggplant appetizers were excellent. Vanilla Gelato was also excellent. All about a beautiful experience. We're coming back!
