It’s in a strip plaza so you would miss it if you passed it. However, the food is always excellent and they have a loyal following. Northern Italian cuisine not Italian American food. Your specials are on par. Lucano salad is delicious. All their appetizers are fantastic. Their pastas are unique and different and definitely a step above most Italian American restaurants. The owner’s homemade lasagna is light and one of the best in town. Don’t waste your money on that charcuterie board as it’s not that great. However the rosemary shrimp skewers is fantastic. They veal chop is delicious. Service is always great. It’s reasonable price. Not necessarily that special on the inside, but it’s relatively quiet. There’s even a little bar you can use while you’re waiting for your table. Give Chuck an

Great selection of wine, although if you want something good you have to buy a bottle. Wish they had more selection available by the glass. Food was delicious. Old school vibe. Would def go again.

Consistently reliable if you want excellent service and excellent food. We try going to other restaurants and often just end up saying “we should’ve gone to Ristorante Lucano”. I still have yet to order a main course from the menu because their specials are always so good. The cocktails from the bar are the best, highly recommend!

What can I possibly say about this establishment that hasn't been said already. Nestled in a little plaza I have preconceived notions, but I was wrong. The staff greeted us right from the start showed us to our table and an expedient manner everyone was smiling and friendly. Our server Colleen was superb in fact we've asked for her to service next time we're at the restaurant. I had a 22-ounce steak and my birthday guest also had a delicious meal. But I left contented satisfied and will definitely go back for more. The owner came and shook my hand and introduced himself it was very cordial and very happy to have us. I recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for ambience great service and delicious food. You won't be disappointed!

This place looks like it is meant to be more formal but the atmosphere is very causal. The food is incredible. We walked in with no reservation but were able to eat at the bar. I think this was the right move because the bartender was incredibly friendly and only made the food more enjoyable. Cocktails were delicious and a great spot to watch the Bills’ game.
