Casa Di Luciano — Restaurant in Grasse

Extremely satisfied! We booked the place for our dinner date night because the photos and reviews looked good. But the experience went even beyond our expectations, with the prices not being outrageous at all. The restaurant is an underground stone cellar that was used as a fish storage back in the day.

The entrée, aubergine rollatini, was out of the world. We also had ravioli napolitaine and polpettone, which were very good as well. The wine, the ambiance, and the service were all great. The restaurateur explained all the items on the menu, which helped us make quick decisions on what we wanted to eat. They source all their ingredients locally.

Highly recommend for those who are looking for a romantic dinner or even just a great...

A very disappointing experience. The good: a nice atmosphere with pleasant staff and generous portions. The bad: the quality of the food! These guys are definitely not professional chefs/cooks. At best they are amateur home cooks trying it on and failing badly. The cold food was poorly prepared and looked a mess. The hot food was generally warm rather than hot and obviously prepared many hours (or days?) before. Everything was overcooked and almost inedible. No beer and no choice of wine, just red, white or rose because they were waiting for a delivery from Italy! Really? Sounds like BS to me. Suggest others learn from our experience...

A good restaurant but not perfect. The restaurant has plenty of seating but it is all below ground in a basement/cellar. Kind of a cave like atmosphere with its rock and concrete walls. It does provide a nice ambiance though. It wasn’t very busy at the time we visited. Prices were a little higher than anticipated. Staff was friendly but didn’t go out of their way to be helpful. I would actually say this is typical. So neither a plus nor minus. Food was good. Good portion sizes. You have a very limited menu to select from that is written on chalk boards that are mounted on the walls. Kind of a cool and unique feature. Glad we visited...
