Lucianos - Pasadena

Amazing food, freshly made. Got the rigatoni and portions were very generous, took half for home. Environment was nice and casual. Will be coming back to try the other dishes.

My wife wanted to get Italian food. I was searching for various Italian restaurants in the area, and this was stuck out to me for being a small business with generous portions and a cozy environment. We came here for our dinner date. The restaurant is located very close to Huntington Hospital. It's a small restaurant that's tucked away in a corner, so it's easy to miss. The restaurant size wise is pretty small, but fortunately we were still able to be seated. They do have a splitting charge of $3 for anyone who shares one entree, so the restaurant expects each person to order one entree for dine in. I ordered the orecchiette and my wife ordered the linguini with clams. Both portions came with 3 big pieces of garlic bread, baked fresh. The garlic bread was fairly standard. The linguini was quite good, but the orecchiette was the best. The pasta was tasty, and the pink sauce was flavorful without being too salty or greasy. Some chain Italian restaurants add way too much cheese to their entrees, and I am glad such was not the case here.

Not very good. Pasta tasted like it was microwaved. Service was by some grumpy dude other bad reviews have mentioned. Dish was not as described at all.

Went there recently for a big family celebration and received excellent service. Everything we ordered was delicious. They were extremely attentive to all our requests. I would definitely go back ?

Wow!!! What a meal!! EVERYTHING was delicious!! The services and the food was impecable!! The Caprese salad was dreamy and the eggplant with mushrooms is my new favorite way to have eggplant parmigiana. Even the Merlot wine was awesome!! Our table also order the Manicotti and it was cheesy, creamy goodness!! My new favorite place for really homemade delicious Italian food! Thanks
