Luciano’s Italian Ristorante and Lounge, which opened in January, was chosen among 11 of the state’s best restaurants of 2008 by The Star-Ledger last week:
“No jackets are required, but Luciano’s, a cavernous Tuscan-style restaurant, evokes a more genteel time. Not a mediocre dish on the table. Menu includes many standards — fried zucchini, mozzarella and roast peppers, veal saltimbocca. A great place to bring family for a good white-tablecloth meal at reasonable prices. Desserts, too, are made with care.”
Our last visit, for dinner just before Thanksgiving, was definitely a thumbs up — nice appetizer, great entree (Ahi Tuna) and good service. The chunks of blue cheese in the martini were a surprise; E for effort on trying to be distinctive, but I could do without it.
Luciano’s – loved it. Only been once but based on the menu, I could eat there every night; loved 95% of the items on the menu. Great variety. On the expensive side but as a once-in-a-while treat, great place.Now let’s either put the Savoy up across the street from Luciano’s or tear the steel structure down and make it a green space until we are through these tough economic times. I know tearing down costs money too but I still think it would be worth the expense to eliminate what can only be described as a reminder of what Rahway “could have been”. Sure, Rahway will have its day in the sun but do we have to stare at this thing for another decade until we get there?Also, note to the city, the “grassy” area between the shops and the Rahway Grill on Cherry Street is full of debris. How about a boy scout troop or local residents organize a “clean up” day to tidy things up a bit? If five people had some litter grabbers and trash bags, the job could be done in 30 minutes.
What’s stopping you from cleaning it yourself?? Quick to point the finger but slow to lift a finger.
