Osteria da Luciano — Restaurant in Rome

We visited Osteria da Luciano as a family of 10, and from start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. The restaurant had such a welcoming atmosphere, and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and well looked after. The pasta was simply outstanding — fresh, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour. You can tell it’s made with care and passion. What really stood out to us, apart from the amazing food, was the honesty and integrity of the staff. It’s rare these days to come across people who are not only professional and friendly but also genuinely trustworthy. That kind of service makes a big difference and left a lasting impression on us. This place is a real gem, and we’re so glad we found it. If you’re in the area and want authentic, delicious Italian food with service you can truly trust, Osteria da Luciano is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back on...

We sat down and inmideatly we had to choose what we wanted to eat and that it needed to be quick but we hadn't even gotten the menu yet... me and my partner both chose a fanta (wich were fine... just got a glass and a can of fanta) and we chose egg as well but those were undercooked like the egg was still liquid!

So after a debate they cooked it again for us but this time it was burned like a crisp and the bread was hard! The lady who helped us also stood way to close to me the whole time... like she stood against me if I didn't move to the left! It made me terribly unfortunateble and I'll never go...

You quickly learn that in Rome you can only trust that which is given grudgingly. You will be pressured to sit down at every restaurant you pass but da Luciano is very different. The chairs are folded forward against the tables, and there is nobody to coerce you to sit but if you don't you will be missing out on a genuine Roman experience owned and run by a family under the old fashioned system of "if it is good you will have customers". The food is average in price but absolutely phenomenal in flavour and quality. I would recommend budgeting for both primi and secondi if you have a big appetite. The house wines are good value too. We discovered this restaurant on our third night and have eaten there for dinner for the...
