Luciano's Ristorante Italiano in Lewisham

I was there Saturday night for dinner and locally it was the best Italian restaurant I've tried. Amazing food and great service.

Came here with my partner on date night as it was recommended by a friend. We had a starter and a main, she had mussels which was quite a small portion and i had meatballs which had a funny texture. After that we had our mains which was penne arrabbiata with chicken and lasagne, the arrabbiata was ok but the lasagne tasted off, a couple of the sheets were hard and the meat was an odd texture. I did ask if I could take the lasagne off the bill (which the server did) but after he took the plate he continued to look in our direction with a look of disapproval. Safe to say wont be dining here anytime soon.

Really nice and cute, great pizza, nice atmosphere. Kids portion decent size for under 5 years.

Food delicious.. service excellent Good value for money live this place

Came for lunch, over the years people always recommended this restaurant. Ordered the crab linguine and it was a very disappointing dish. Sauce had no taste and the pasta was just mixed in for few seconds. Chicken salad nothing special. Guinness cake was stale. Definitely overpriced for what you get.

The perfect combination of savory of the cheese and minced meat with tomato sauce in their lasagna

Booked days in advance only to be shown to a crappy round centre table. Asked if we could move to a nicer empty table at the side - request denied by a surly stocky manager. Table then occupied by someone turning up slightly later (and whiter). Will NOT be returning.

I've lived in Blackheath for years and we made a mistake visiting this restaurant and definitely won't be returning I'm not going into detail to much to list, we always go to Carola Italian restaurant 2 minutes up the road which is a first class family run Italian restaurant from great food to service and genuine attentive staff, who are smart professional in there positions (obviously enjoy being there) and it shows.

At the top! Served quickly, delicious dishes, attentive staff. A little nugget not to be missed if you are in the area

Quality food, real Italian recipes; the lasagna was rich in ingredients and well cooked, I would have loved to have a bigger portion, but I have to say it was so well done that it was difficult to finish; what they delivered was definitely nutritious enough! Oh, try ABSOLUTELY their Ice Cream..it is called with a name starting for C, it has these 3 flavours: nugat, chocolate and pistacio..omgosh THE QUALITY OF THAT ICE CREAM!!! It had a syrupiness that went beyond creaminess, you must try it to understand!!!

Absolutely fantastic place. I visited with my partner and her nephew, at around 2pm on a Sunday afternoon. The booking process was easy, and the welcome was warm. The menu is extensive, but not so huge that it makes you nervous about quality: there should be something for everyone here. The drinks menu is comprehensive, and the staff are great. As for the food: absolutely amazing. The three of us had very different dishes, and we were all blown away by the quality of the food: just outstanding. It's easily the best lasagne I've had anywhere in the world (and I've had it in a lot of places!); generous portions too. We'll certainly be going back; I can't recommend Luciano's highly enough.

We had the linguine with shellfish, cherry and garlic.. The dish itself was quite nice and tasty, we just wished we had more pasta in the portion. It was a delivery order so we plan to visit and experience the restaurant properly.

Asked the driver why the food was cold he said it was not his problem and he had only picked up the food 15 min ago. He said it was restaurants fault.

Fantastic little spot on Lee High Street, right next to the station. The service is a little off, but the food is decent. LOVE the smoothie; probably the best bit from what I ordered. Would NOT recommend the Guinness cake; it’s a little stale. Expected it to be moist. Only the icing is tasty.

Food and service amazing. If there was low music in the background would be perfect 👌

Fantastic food, amazing service. Luciano’s is the best. Highly recommend!

The waitress over there is very rude ..otherwise amazing Italian food

Liked this place very much! Great service, food has a 'home cooked' feel about it. Sumptuous lasagne. Good ambience.

I think in every restaurant or customer service they should have very polite and welcoming staff I went inside the place and waitwd at the door for 3 min but didn't see no one so me and my partner just saw a free table and sat down, the waiter came giving us some dirty looks and almost shouted at us saying .-You can't sit there ..!!! And left saying she'll be back, I decided to leave because who wants to spend money on place where you are not well treated

The food was good but cold and the driver refused to come up to my flat.

Delicious breakfasts for sure but the prices are high: for a breakfast and tea is £15, while the nearby cafés are charging £10.

Despite moving out of the area we often pop back in if we're around. Great to see they're still doing excellent food and the service is as good as always.

In our ongoing quest to find somewhere civilised in the area as a regular weekend brunch spot, we had high hopes for Luciano’s. Great looking menu, but disappointing food. Eggs Benedict served with thick fat on the bacon and two teaspoons of hollandaise. So dry and unappealing. The service was cursory, and a man was left to continue a loud speakerphone call at the next table throughout our meal, without anyone interceding, which gave the feeling of eating at a noisy bus stop, which is not really the vibe we’re looking for. Terrible. The quest continues.

Always a lovely meal, and welcoming staff,thankyou guy's

Very nice place good service and very friendly staff

A really lovely restaurant. Food is delicious and the service is excellent. Very pleasant atmosphere and an enjoyable way to spend an evening, has now become my local go to!

Been coming here most weeks for almost 5 years. Staff are great and look after us, great with my young daughter. Food is authentic, solid menu and specials each week. Pizza always a go to for take out as well. Lucianos adds a lot of value to the local area.

Excellent restaurant when I'm in London I always go there for dinner, very nice place, I always eat ravioli with aubergines, stuffed with fish and other fillings! Sunday evening delicious baked pasta then sardines.....

Yummy food! Service was a tad slow, and we had a big group of 7. However, there were only about 3 other tables at the time, so not sure why it was so slow. It took us 3 hours to finish our meal because there were large waiting times between courses. Apart from that we had a lovely time and would for sure come again. Make sure you haven't got time restricting plans after.

It is a nice venue, clean with very friendly staff we hadn't booked in advance but this wasn't an issue, we were given a good table, the washroom was also very clean, I would definitely recommend it, and eat there again.

I enjoyed my pizza Italian style

Lovely restaurant with lovely staff. Proper authentic Italian food I am a regular customer and I have to say that this place is absolutely beautiful. Anastasiia, Marta, Pino and other staff make this place the way it is. Definitely the heart of Lee. I would 100% recommend if you would like a lovely meal.

Great food, authentic Italian. I had a carbonara which was the real deal (creamy egg yolk as it should be). My wife had seafood linguine which were very tasty. The service was impeccable and very caring. Strongly recommended.

Fresh Italian food with lovely owners. I had a lovely lasagne

very clean place with huge choice of dishes and a good typical Italian setting

Absolutely delicious. I ordered the carbonara, a classic pasta dish. It was like nothing I ever tasted before. The pork was scrumptious and the pasta was just perfect. When I got the dish I immediately thought, “bit small for what I’m paying.” But it filled me up like crazy and the taste itself payed off extremely well. Service was standard, could have been better. It felt like the staff didn’t really connect with me or my family and were a bit robotic. The restaurant is also usually busy due to its reputation so it’s loud most of the time. Another downside, the front door has no barrier between the outside and the customers so anytime someone came in our out, we all got a cold breeze. The people next to us asked to be moved because of it. I also found the decor quite mixed and all over the place, with multiple colours and patterns that just don’t fit with each other. Other than that, the menu included a personal message from Gino D’acampo and gives the customer a personal reasoning behind all the food. I enjoyed my experience and would go again.

Gorgeous food, authentic Italian all round. Thanks

Excellent food with excellent staff.

Best meal I've had in quite a while.

Really excellent experience, the food was superb and the staff very helpful and attentive. Will be going again 5*

Food fantastic service 5star been coming since open .recommend do book in advance.

I advice to book two timeslots if you plan on painting more than a small plate

Went for dessert and ordered profiteroles. What a treat! The choux buns were crisp and full of creme patisserie. Definitely freshly made and with quality ingredients

Excellent pizza made with fresh ingredients

A fantastic local Italian, great pizza and pasta options and authentic tasting.

Can't comment on atmosphere as I always get take away, but their pastas & pizzas got me through three rounds of marathon training haha. Always consistent on quality and tasty

Used to be really very good. Now, dry crispy pasta stuck to the box. Half cooked potatoes again dry. We thought it was a one off. Now the third week in a row.

We have been coming here for over 10 years now and it never disappoints. This local family run restaurants offers great Italian dishes and pizzas, at great prices. They offer lovely specials and wines for every occasion. Weekends can be busy so we recommend you book to avoid been disappointed or having to wait. Thou waiting isn’t a problems as you can enjoy some great cocktails. Service can be hit and miss, but that’s to be expected in most places these days…

Arrived at 9pm on the dot and instantly was made to feel like an inconvenience. The waitress literally stared at the clock for several seconds as we walked in (they are advertised as open until 22.30). I then advised that we would order our food quickly and did so, very quickly. The waitress was incredibly cold throughout the whole experience, unlike the beer which was room temperature. My wife and I ate our food, (which was good, not amazing) and then instantly asked for the bill to leave as we didn't want to be there anymore (21.35). They need to go to Quattordici in Chislehurst to understand what good service is about. I've never felt so unwelcome in a local restaurant as I have here.

Enjoy this establishment to meet friends

A great Italian great food and a great no rush attitude will go again

No pets allowed. You should reconsider your offering.

Great food, great service and amazing football history for Charlton's fans!

Decided on an impromptu meal for my daughter's 20 th, the starters of soft shell crab, delicious, and Parma ham with melon set is up for a really good meal. Compulsory Peronni and rosé really got the taste buds going. For main we decided on the T none steak, chicken fillet in breadcrumbs and the for cheese pasta, nothing was left which is unusual. The meal was rounded off with tiramisu, chocolate pudding and cheese board. Not the cheapest meal we have had by far, but with food of this quality I really don't mind paying that but extra. From the very friendly greetings the moment we walked through the door it set the tone for the evening. Or waitress, Anastasia was very attentive without being over bearing, always arriving at the table just at the right time, either to offer a fresh drink when one was finished, or to remove the empty plates. I would like to thank all the staff for a wonderful evening.

The food was yummy and staff were friendly, really well made and filling 😋

Came in February 6 of us , faultless food & service . This time .. Starters were pretty good, pizza beautiful. main dishes were missing items , the fillet steaks cooked well but were very nice apart from the lump of fat on the side of mine , potatoes weren’t Rosti they were rosemary which had clearly been sitting around small amount of sauce & no asparagus or garnish of any sort, fish was lovely but missing the courgette & salsa verde asked the waitress apparently they have changed how they serve it also they we’re having trouble in the kitchen, just salad , then had the dessert menu for 25 mins one of the waitresses was more interested in her phone and hiding up by the service hatch . Got a couple of free to desserts one to go as too annoyed with everything. Poor service is unacceptable on a Saturday night and it wasn’t even full , combined with half an attempt at an excuse about the menu, don’t lye just say you will look into . The broccoli chunks don’t have to be so big & spicy . They took the service charge off with out asking which they knew we weren’t happy , the waitress was being as nice as she could be , the possible owners / older staff , one who left just as we ordered need to keep an eye on things . I would go back as the previous experience was great but will wait for the reviews to improve .

I went to celebrate Father’s Day, deciding to try support a local business. However, the service was slow and struggled to receive basic requirements - a napkin, cleaning a dirty table. The starter was good, however the portion size for the main was disappointing. I would recommend that they swap their broccoli chunks to fine stemmed broccoli for abit more class. What was even more laughable was £8.00 for 3 overdone chocolate profiteroles AND the waitress gave us 3 spoons. 5 drinks, 2 starters, 3 mains and 1 dessert = £193.00… not sure I’d say it’s value for money.

We order pasta and pizza it was good i like paste more . Good customer service, nice warm cosy restaurant decor.

The Pizza Diablo’s and the Calamari Fritti were absolutely delicious. 🍕🦑

I rarely leave reviews but this place was so good. Very welcoming and attentive staff. The decor and ambience is perfect and very comfortable seating. The DJ playing music was the perfect volume as well as playing great music. 6 of us ate and all different dishes, we were all very impressed and cannot wait to go back very soon. The prices for London are very fair too.

If you love Italian food with great service, then you must visit. Bravo!!!

Arrived on time, food was hot and as delicious as eating in the restaurant

Good authentic Italian food in Lee district.

Great spot. Good food, reasonably priced. *****

Italian restaurants are everywhere and nothing special nowadays, but finding a good one isn't easy. The really good ones aren't always found in Central London, this is a hidden gem but well known by locals.

Delivered the wrong pizzas, and although we are quite close to the restaurant they were lukewarm

Good selection of wines. We had pizza as a starter which was delicious, crispy and soft. The beef tagliata was amazing 10/10, sides not really great but ok. Good service and very good dessert, bill was ok, 120£ for two but we had starter and a bottle of prosecco.

Driver apologised due to traffic. Very pleasant man. Food still hot and fresh. So happy overall.

Friendly staff, great Italian food and comfortable cafe seating

Ordered two pizzas for takeaway. They were cold. Not even luke-warm. Not sure how they've managed this, but the pizzas were literally old. Very strange, since I waited 10 minutes after the collection time to get my pizzas. Definitely won't come back here. Would've given zero stars if I could.

We visited family just before New Year and booked in for lunch, there were four of us including my young daughter. The staff were friendly and the food was fabulous. A gem of a place and we look forward to returning this year.

Always a great meal and some awesome drinks selections.

Very good food generally, but the pasta is definitely their speciality, as it is amazing.

I recently visited Luciano's restaurant in downtown Toronto and was very impressed. The food was amazing, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The menu had a wide variety of Italian dishes, from classic pastas to pizzas and more. The portions were generous and the prices were very reasonable. The wait staff was friendly and attentive and the chefs were clearly passionate about what they were creating. I had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend Luciano's to anyone looking for a delicious Italian meal. Highly recommended!

Had mussels and calamari for starters and pizza for the main. All tasted very nice, good friendly service and nice atmosphere. The pizza especially is very nice, the dough slightly crunchy and fresh. Recommend it. Will visit again and will invite friends too.

Went for a birthday meal tried to serve alcoholic with no alcohol in we had 2 courses and was over £600 so over priced for nice food. Staff slow and no greeting just want orders. Would not go again

Went into Luciano’s this past Saturday at 5:20pm, my wife had mistakenly cancelled the 5pm reservation ( all slots for that night were available) upon arrival as a walk in, we were told it was by reservation only ( the place had 4 tables occupied when we arrived AND when we left) after my wife told the manager we had a reservation but cancelled, he said he could seat us and pulled a table and old chairs from the kitchen and sat us in the kitchen doorway while no wait staff helped us …. beware of the restaurant manager about 3 1/3 ft tall and built like a bowling ball, if you hurt his feelings you might get seated in the toilet. Just moved to town, WILL NEVER GO BACK!

Great pasta, plenty of choice, reasonably priced

nice food but needs a more improvement more flavour .. Dont be afraid to season your meat! :)

A great local Italian restaurant. Been here maybe 6-7 times. Has a less formal bar side and a restaurant side. Both good. Service is usually good and dishes have always been tasty. They now have gluten free pasta which they can put in most dishes. Only penne but it’s a start. Be nice to have a spaghetti option.

Went for a weekday lunch, the service was good and I feel the prices are worth the portion size. I would say the food is abit bland though

My gf's favourite place in Lee for a meal or just a hot coffee.

Busy for the two of them in the FoH, but even with the struggles service was really good. Food as always was incredible, best restaurant in Lee, hands down.

It doesn't look like italian restaurant..

Very tasty food, went there for the lunchtime menu with my boyfriend and both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Food was cooked to perfection including the dessert, I feel we both would return to this restaurant. Service was impeccable also, really lovely staff members and overall pleasant experience.

First visit last night and will definitely be back! Food was absolutely delicious and perfect portion sizes. Look forward to working through the menu! Really nice staff and atmosphere, too.

Their bread is really good and decent pizza, I would highly recommended, although service has been a little hit and miss whenever we have been there.

Food was excellent and staff was really friendly! Went here for a last minute family lunch with my sister and niece. Calamari was delicious!

service was awful. it took so long we ended up thinking we had to go up to the bar to order, only to be sent back to our table to wait even longer. over priced and over rated.

Didn't enjoy the food and the drink was missing.

Great food, great Italian atmosphere 👌

Nice. Clean. Friendly staff. Bit pricey.

Popped in for an unscheduled meal with some friends. The staff were very accommodating. I thought the food was excellent, full of flavour and authentic. I found the menu to be competitively priced. I'd happily go back again.

Very disappointed. Food arrived 25 minutes early. Had to take it and warm it up. The taste was really impacted. I’d love to know what you’ll do about it.

Went into the par portion for coffee and cake with friends. Nice staff and excellent atmosphere

Best pizza that I had for delivery around here so far. Actually tastes like proper Pizza.

It's not the same as it once was. Used to be really great. They have made lots of changes which are great but the food is not as good as it used to be. The courgette fritti used to be amazing, as did the squid, not any more. Pizzas are not quite so great these days either. It's still a nice place to go, staff were very nice, no complaints about the service. The just seems to have lost something and the prices are obviously quite a bit higher.

Really bad pizza and potatoes. Meat in the pizza was undercooked and cheap. Wouldn’t order from them again

Risotto was undercooked and overpriced and the carbonara was basically a soup. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

Very good restaurant, with excellent food, drinks and service! Thank's to all lovely staff! Grazi mille!
