I got here at 6:00 on Friday night and the place was totally packed. I was a little worried that I would have to wait a while for a table, but the owner came out from behind the counter and offered me a table outside on the terrace. He was very polite, energetic, and made me feel welcome.
After I was seated, the kind wait staff came and took my drink orders and brought me some bread, which was really good. It wasnt exactly quiet, but the atmosphere was lively and comfortable.
I had the mozzarella caprese and a glass of Chianti. It took probably 12 minutes to get, but I was okay with it, given how busy it was. The caprese was good, and I could tell that the ingredients were fresh. They took my main entrée order when it came, which I liked. I didn’t feel rushed at all.
I ordered the portobello ravioli, and it arrived just as I was finishing with my appetizer. The portion was large, and smelled great. I especially liked how stuffed the raviolis were, and the seasoning was excellent as well. Im pretty sure they make their bolognese sauce in-house. The ingredients were high-quality and delicious.
I wasnt going to order dessert, but I changed my mind when I saw that they had lemon cake. Im glad I did, because that was some of the best lemon cake ive ever had. It was moist, sweet, and perfectly portioned. I also ordered an Amaretto to go with it, which paired well with the cake.
Overall, I had a great dining experience here. The whole meal was about $95, but it was worth it. Id recommend Lucano Ristorante Italiano to anybody who wants good food and a welcoming atmosphere of a higher quality than what you may find at a Spiro’s or an Olive Garden.

We’re new to the area and went to check out Gig Harbor and went here for lunch because we wanted some Italian food. This might have been the best pasta I’ve ever eaten! The tortellini just melted in my mouth, the chicken Marsala was so flavorful. Great friendly service. You can’t go wrong and won’t go hungry at this gem of a restaurant!

We had a great dinner. The atmosphere is so great, the bread and oil and herbs was fantastic. The lasagna was great. The piato Italiano in the Aurora sauce was good and the spaghetti bolognese good. The coppa spagnola was the cherry dessert and it was good. The limoncello cake was great and the Classico tartufo was delicious!!

The food is pretty good and homey, but definitely pricey for the quality and quantity you get. Id go here again if I wasn’t paying.

The lamb shanks was excellent. The Pene pasta with mozzarella and pepperoni was very good. Complements to the chef .

Cute restaurant but toughest veal I’ve ever eaten but it’ll work as dog food. Lasagna was very ordinary. Overpriced for the quality received and surprised the ratings are so high. I’d avoid.

We went for dinner as a family. Gotta tell ya, the food is so good and yummy. The Lobster Ravioli is so soft and creamy and it melted in my mouth. The tiramisu was perfectly good. Not too long of a wait for our food too. The staff is so friendly and quick too. Excellent job you guys in Gig Harbor.

We were here with good friends today for 12:00 Lunch. Our server was friendly, pleasant, and attentive. We loved the the Italian atmosphere. We had the spaghetti and meatballs, lasagna, clams, and another dish. Everyone loved their dishes. I had the spaghetti and meatballs. The sauce is delicious and the homemade meatballs were excellence’. Highly recommend! We will come back soon. Thank you Lucano for an excellent dining experience by all.

Homey environment with great food! The staff were attentive and kind. The hostess was quick to get us back (we did not have a reservation and were sat immediately).
We started with a glass of the house red blend (this was a great wine – good bite and warm undertones that paired very well with dinner), bruschetta appetizer (SO flavorful, the tomatoes were ripe and had a nice tart bite mixed with a balsamic sweet glaze on warm toast-like bread).
We bought 2 entrees – the penne rosemary pasta and a prosciutto pizza. The pizza did not disappoint (we were cautious as another pizza place in town wasn’t what we were hoping for) and the rosemary penne pasta was incredibly yummy (thick, creamy white sauce with hints of garlic and rosemary, chunks of Italian sausage and healthy portion of tangy sun dried tomatoes). We split a pistachio/chocolate gelato cup – it was more frozen than creamy so I’d probably opt out of that the next time we come.
Overall – I gave our experience 5 stars as I wouldn’t change anything. The food was good, the prices were reasonable, the portion sizes were generous, the wine was tasty, and I thought the staff was on it.

Update: Another Saturday visit , this time party of two. Excellent atmosphere , staff was wonderful , good delicious !! It’s time to make a reservation here folks!!! Enjoy !! …………………….Saturday night, 5:30pm, party of six. Nice atmosphere, good food. Spaghetti Bolognese was remade for me as it was very dry. End result was amazing Bolognese dish that I took to go and enjoyed later. One thing is that everyone agreed the sides of pasta were skimpy and left folks wanting more. Example chicken parmigiana and chicken piccata….., Just a heads-up to Il Lucano. We will return again and have been for years. Treat yourself to authentic red sauce and fun experience!! Make reservations soon!
