    Pork chop meal absolutely delicious!

    First and foremost were the staff that made this night a fun night out - from the hostess to our server Debi M. The hostess was super friendly and engaging with a good sense of humor. Debi was incredible with a friendly and helpful attitude and a rare great sense of friendly humor. She was professional and extremely helpful in assisting us in our menu suggestions. She was unbelievably attentive and made us feel like we were dining in a high end NYC restaurant. Food was terrific and portions were superb and reasonably priced. A true diamond hidden in Londonderry. We will definitely be returning!

    Red velvet cookies n cream cupcake

    It's been almost a month since Lucciano's Cafe hosted their adorable Valentine's Day pop-up booth in Boston and I'm *still* thinking about all the amazing gluten-free treats that I was able to try from there!! I definitely went a little bit overboard and indulged in almost everything they had to offer: -tiramisu: this is my favorite dessert of all-time and I can count on one hand the number of times I've been able to eat this since getting my celiac diagnosis... this was a no-brainer buy for me! It was creamy and decadent and my favorite out of all the treats, truly no notes - 100/10 recommend! thank me later :) -cupcake sampler box: this was $24 and contained 4 different flavors, which I thought was a really great idea to allow people to try multiple flavors without spending as much on their full-sized cake jars. the box contained a funfetti, a red velvet cookies and cream (literally genius since I've never seen anyone else combine these two crowd-favorite flavors), a hostess-fudge-inspired one, and a strawberry shortcake. All the cake textures were amazingly light and fluffy (truly tasted like a gluten-filled!!! batter lol) and I honestly enjoyed the cakes even more than the frostings. Some of the frostings were a little bit overly sweet and buttery for my liking, but they all still paired really well with their actual cakes! My favorite of the box was definitely the strawberry shortcake - it was filled with a delicious jam and I loved how it was topped off with some sort of almost-sour strawberry power which contrasted really well -swiss rolls: this was such a nostalgic treat to buy, but they're definitely dense - one roll lasted me several days! again, the texture of the cake roll was truly amazing and I didn't realize this when I first bought it but I ended up grabbing a box with their peanut-butter cream filled rolls instead of the original! The peanut butter flavor was a little bit light imo. The outer chocolate shell was also quite hard and when I shared the rolls with my friends, they weren't the biggest fan of just how hard the shell was, but I personally didn't mind it at all! -last but not least, I also got their seasonal heart cakes to sample. this was my second favorite out of my huge haul - their vanilla cake was so sweet and light and you could literally see the darker vanilla bean speckled throughout the batter, which just highlights the quality of the ingredients that they use to make their pastries. The cream in between was perfectly balanced and the overall frosting decoration was beyond perfect for Valentine's Day I literally went to this pop-up twice within the week that they were open and they were so kind to give me a free cookie during my re-visit, which like everything else, was super tasty and honestly I felt like the thick layer of frosting on top was a bit unnecessary because the actual cookie was chewy and perfectly chocolate-y and indulgent all on its own. Needless to say, I am a huge, huge, huge!!! fan of Lucciano's baked goods and I'm so sad that their pop-up was temporary but beyond grateful I was able to try their treats in person.

    I hate to have to update and downgrade my review, but I won't be back. Excellent food, excellent gf options, poor customer service. I was delighted to find Luccianos last year and had several positive experiences. However, I won't be back after my last visit. I have many allergies and was understanding from prior engagement that the chicken parm was OK for me. During my last visit, I was told they are cooked in the same fryer as some allergens. I asked if they could pan fry it and was told no. I asked the waitress other questions she had to go back to the kitchen about. I thought someone from the kitchen may come speak with me, but they didn't. I also didn't get answers to the questions I asked. I easily get overwhelmed and emotional about food accommodations, especially when I thought I had already done my research and it doesn't work out. I ordered something I knew was safe and figured I'd try to reach out to the restaurant later to understand what was safe for me. My father got chicken Marsala and substituted bolognese sauce. He loved his meal, but was challenged by the amount of water in the sauce and a $6.95 up charge for the substituted sauce that he wasn't consulted about. My mother got a fish sandwich and thought it was awful. It looked like a tiny, frozen filet o fish served on a giant bun. I did feel bad for her. A few weeks later she told me about the negative email she sent to the owners about our experience. She did not get a response. From her description, I felt like her email detailed a harsher experience than we faced so I wrote one from my perspective. Mainly, I wanted to be able to know what I could eat long-term. Tina, the owner, never actually made any comments about the negative experience but told me she would call me that Tuesday (1/9) to discuss allergies. She did not call. I followed up 1/22 and 2/14 without response. 2/25 I replied to note that it shouldn't take this much effort to understand what is safe to eat and wished the business luck. She immediately replied to tell me that I could reach out to her that Thursday or Friday to discuss (5-7 days later). No one should have to put so much effort into feeling safe about their meal. It's sad because I really loved the food.

    Swordfish steak

    Incredible meal. So much flavor in this dish. Makes you feel like you're eating out in Boston. The value here is insane. 22 bucks for a massive swordfish filet over fresh and delicious veggies. The sauce is perfect.

    Small greek salad. 8$
    King B.

    Had a good lunch visit with my mom yesterday. The greek salad here is very good with tons of feta. This greek salad blows Amphora out of the water. No Pepperoncinis was a surprise. The place was a ghost town with a few other people seated at the bar. The pizza was good but and larger than i remember from the previous location. I actually liked the house special pizza but remember the old luccianos location having a better pie. Overall id return again and my bartender was pleasant. Salads shrunk sadly. Def not the biggest in the state anymore.

    Delicious Italian restaurant!
    Pat M.

    This NJ family traveled to NH and had a delicious Italian dinner at Lucciano's! Living in NJ, we're spoiled by the number of amazing Italian restaurants, but this place held it's own. The ambience is really nice here and our server was excellent. She had a great sense of humor and made sure our group of 8 had everything we needed. To start off, I had a glass of Chianti. The bread served with plates of oil was spot on. I had a real craving for chicken parmigiana and needed a nice red sauce to go with the wine. My dinner was great and I believe most others enjoyed theirs as well. While we didn't partake in desserts, the gluten free specialties in the front display case looked so good. Maybe next time!

    Frutti de Mare

    Server Debi M was awesome: friendly, personable and great at service. The Insalata Caprese was very fresh. My wife had pasta and meatballs (homemade ) & loved it. My Frutti de Mare was loaded with/ seafood and very tasty. Took a couple desserts home & frosted cookie was the bomb.

    Went to Luciano's. Haven't been there since they were in their last location years ago. That wasn't an earth-shattering experience then, but after all these years I thought I would give them another try. It was a weekday night, so there weren't many people in there. When I walked in, I noticed very nice interior, tables, silverware, etc. What I didn't notice was that great smell of Italian cooking. We asked for a booth. They said they did have booths, but they turned out to be a booth on one side and chairs on the other and there was another table right next to it, so not the kind of thing I had in mind. Our waitress came over and got our drink order. She came back over shortly after to get our meal order. I ordered Chicken Piccata and my husband...you guessed it Chicken Parmesan. We were served bread and oil. The bread seemed too perfect to be home made but was certainly OK. The oil...just tasted like oil. Our dinners came. Both dinners were NOT very hot. You could tell by the shredded cheese sprinkled on top of both enrtee's that never melted. Same with the pasta that was in a separate dish. My ziti was not cooked enough either and my husbands was most definitely not cooked enough as well. The chicken in my Piccata was actually mushy. And the cutlets were definitely not just sauteed. The coating was also mushy and not crispy as one would be if it was just taken out of the pan. My pasta has piccata sauce on it even though it was in a separate dish....My husband liked his first bite of the first cutlet but said the second was VERY tough. He said his pasta was pretty raw and the sauce is basically tomatoes so it didn't stick to the pasta and had no flavor whatsoever. And....most importantly for him the cutlets did not have a crispy coating and his meal was cold. Now I know why there was no Italian food smells. I certainly suspect the chicken in the meals was preprepared way ahead of time....If it was freshly cooked the coating would have been hot and crispy. Needless to say, what went back to the kitchen for me was 1 chicken cutlet and the pasta. Hubby one cutlet and his pasta. I wanted to try it. You never know how a restaurant is unless you try it. For us, we tried it, but would never return again. Nothing special, especially with Pasquale's basically across the street that is excellent.

    Yum GF Mixed berry cheesecake!

Don't get me wrong, our waitress was polite, but every time we mentioned something, there just wasn't any follow-through. I had asked for extra bread and a new napkin and they never arrived. When my boyfriend asked for more water, she responded along the lines of she was about to do it, which came off like it was an inconvenience. I also wasn't offered fresh pepper and had to ask for Parmesan cheese, which made things feel a little off. I ordered the Linguine ai Frutti di Mare with clams, calamari, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and a lobster tail. The seafood itself was cooked pretty well, but the pasta was heavily overcooked, which was such a bummer because we come here at least twice a year and usually look forward to it. Afterward, I asked if the pasta was homemade and was told you have to specifically request that. I feel like that's something that should be mentioned upfront when ordering. Also, I forgot to mention they add radishes to the salad and no one asked about allergies. When I got mine, there was a big radish in it and I just had to hope I removed them all, which wasn't a great feeling. I don't know what changed, but overall this visit just felt a little disappointing compared to what we're used to.

We visited on a Tuesday around 6 p.m. with a party of four for a birthday. The restaurant wasn't busy, so there really wasn't an obvious reason for what followed. The meal started with bread that was lukewarm, hard, and forgettable, served with oil and what looked like dried minced garlic. Someone in our party tried to order a beer, and the server said they only had two or three of the dozen or so beers listed. Things only got worse from there. I ordered a French 75 and eventually received...something. It arrived after the appetizers, in the wrong glass, over ice, with no champagne and no detectable gin. It tasted like sparkling lemonade. I politely asked for it to be remade and even offered to speak with the bartender if it would help. The replacement never arrived. The calamari came out on sloppy-looking plates, and one order was pale while the other was dark enough to suggest it had been fried in old oil. Neither was particularly hot, and the breading barely stayed attached. The entrees looked just as uninspired as they tasted. The linguini with clam sauce was gray and soupy. The fish came with vegetables that were cooked to death. My eggplant parmesan was buried in bland marinara, and the gnocchi was room temperature, rubbery, and completely flavorless. The marinara itself tasted like watered-down canned tomatoes that had forgotten salt existed. Service was just as disappointing. Water glasses sat empty for most of the meal, our server was nearly impossible to flag down, no one checked on the remade cocktail, and by the time we finally got someone's attention, it was only because the host happened to notice us trying to get the check. We would have considered dessert, but the server disappeared long enough that we gave up. To top it off, the incorrect cocktail was still on the bill, bringing the total to around $250. One final observation: I watched the host reset tables by placing glasses, linens, menus, salt and pepper shakers, and table tents directly on chair seats. They also carried clean drinking glasses by inserting their fingers inside them. The open kitchen visible from the dining room didn't inspire much confidence, either. I've had better meals at chain restaurants for a fraction of the price. For roughly $250, this wasn't just disappointing--it was astonishingly poor. Nothing about this is authentic italian. Nothing about it is worth the price tag. Nothing about it was redeemable.
