From a farm on the outskirts of Rome to Route 1 in Wrentham, since 1991.
Chef Luciano Canova was born on a farm on the outskirts of Rome, where food was the staple that kept his family together. That upbringing carried him through the Culinary Institute of Italy and into kitchens in Switzerland, Germany, and aboard cruise lines. After years of friendship with Joe Lorusso, Luciano partnered with Joe and his son Gerry to open Luciano’s in 1991, with one goal: a five-star experience through atmosphere, cuisine, and exceptional service. Decades later, the pasta is still made in house every day.
The dining rooms carry hand-painted murals of Venice, Portofino, and the Mediterranean coast. On Friday and Saturday evenings there is live music in the lounge, and four private rooms host the showers, rehearsal dinners, and business functions of the families who have dined here for decades.
“Luciano himself invites you to take a trip to Italy and dine with him at Luciano’s.”

Luciano’s opened through a friendship between Chef Luciano Canova and the Lorusso family, and the same names still run the room today.
