Had a lovely night last night for my birthday, there were 9 of us and we all enjoyed our food. We made the most of the buy one get one free on cocktails, which were amazing. The entertainment was great too... Hamish. The service was amazing and the staff attentive and friendly..... Definitely be back again especially on a night with entertainment.
Have organised a couple large group functions for events here.
Manager Kyle goes above and beyond to deliver a great service even when things don’t go quite to plan. He is happy to listen and act on constructive feedback.
Food always been good, the only reason one star off is due to my disappointment of my pudding not being unavailable, but I have been assured next time I visit this won’t be a problem. Atmosphere great. Service always as helpful as can be.
Had a great evening at Luciano’s last night, we went in during happy hour and so had cheap cocktails before our meal. The drinks were really good and when we ate we were all delighted with our food. The service was brilliant, really attentive and helpful and also really knew their menu when we had questions.
It was pretty quiet while we were there but still had a great atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

Been to Lucianos (Luccios? Carluccios??) a couple of times in the last year and it's a decent place for Italian.
The food has been great, with a decent pizza, fantastic beef ragu, and the best carbonara I've graced my tastebuds with the second time. I cannot stress enough, the food is FANTASTIC. Portions could do with a little more, but what I've got thus far has tasted lovely.
Both times I've come in the place has been eerily quiet, so either something's up with my timing or the place is just... quiet? Regardless, the service has been timely, albeit mild-mannered, both times which isn't an issue at all. There is a 12.5% service charge stuck on as a heads-up, which you'll find in tiny text at the bottom of the menu. Not a fan of that trend as a whole, as I'd much rather tip good service and good food where it's due.
My only complaints are the pricing (which is *STEEP*, especially for Dorset at £50+ for dinner for two) and the fact they took beef ragu off the menu - it was a fantastic dish and taking it off the menu is a crime against humanity. Bring it back!
Either way, Luciano's food is fantastic, on the proviso that you aren't the person paying for it... But I don't know if that says more about myself or the restaurant. If the staff were a bit chattier and the British economy wasn't doing an impression of the Titanic (or things were a bit cheaper), I'd give five stars.
As a large group of 14, Luciano's looked after us well. The roast dinner deal (main, dessert, and drink) for £19.95 was brilliant value for money. The beef was cooked very well, and the crispy potatoes were delicious.
At the moment, kids eat for free!! The kids all had pasta dishes, and the plates were cleared!
From the experience we had today, we are likely to visit again.
Loved this place. The manager is incredible, and so onto it. We were so impressed. He was honestly born for this. They are dog friendly, food and wine fab, and venue is stunning.
The food is simple but extremely good, the drinks are limited but what they have is worth having, the atmosphere is, well it may have been a quiet night. If you go you can make it better!
I had carbonara for dinner, it was excellent. Thank you chef Charlie for the food. The service was also outstanding. The place is deserving Michelin star. Thank you for the wonderful experience.
Great rum and reggae night . Kyle and his staff went all the way and more to make sure the night went with a bang , even with the IGITS in the square who are selfish, and hate to see others enjoying themselves.
Go live in the desert if you don’t like live entertainment or people just enjoying themselves all because you don’t have one!
THANK YOU KYLE AND ALL OF YOUR STAFF. I think you are a top manager & I heard you were putting your knee through some moves !
Glad to have helped in your exercise .
Great night , the good you do in life will be returned to you .
Thanks and see you soon again !

Enjoyable early evening meal - all clean plates. Lovely ambiance and friendly staff. Varied menu and not overwhelming. Kids loved it too
Really enjoyed our lunch ,first ever visit,and the manager Kyle was great ,friendly and cheerful
Came out for a surprise lunch date with my other half and saw the sun trapped terrace from across the car park. Thought it was the perfect scene, filled with colourful flowers and Instagram worthy photo ops, where we wined and dined for an amazing price. The pork chop and lemon chicken breast made for perfect lunches in the sun. Can’t wait to come back for the opera night in June.
Had a lovely meal and night out last Friday. The manager Kyle was impeccably attentive, food arrived quickly and thoroughly enjoyed the mood lighting with the rustic red brick interior. All round a great evening.
We popped into this charming place for coffee and ended up having a delicious sandwich and chips served by Kyle would have returned but unfortunately our holiday was over
