- JJesseSan Diego •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoThe food was fantastic! Very fresh tasting. Great service! Ambience was perfect. Nice live piano music, not too loud. Restaurant is set up nice. Seating is spaced out nicely. Would highly recommend for a date night. Apparently they also have a daily happy hour…will have to come back to try?! Really liked the convenient parking structure that wasn’t overcrowded on a Saturday night.More infoLuxe Restaurant and BarPrice: Moderate• American• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8

- MMyOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThis place changed our pizza experience. I fear that no other pizza place will compare to it. We got the champion cheese and honestly best cheese pizza ever (probably why it won 1st place). I usually would eat the pizza crust but this one was flaky and amazing. The flaky salt on the crust was a great touch compared to other crust toppings out there. Definitely will come back to try the other pizzas on the menu.More infoTruly PizzaPrice: Moderate• Pizzeria• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.8

- JjarieLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoAbsolutely delicious! We had a very discerning out of state guest with us and brought her here - everyone loved it. There are a number of good Italian restaurants in the DP/SC area, but Luciani's is the one that most reminds me of actually being in Italy! Every dish is delicious and the service is top notchMore infoLuciana's RistorantePrice: Expensive• Italian• Dana Point / Monarch Beach•4.6
