Chef Luciano Kitchen + Chicken

Rocky and the staff are awesome and very accommodating to your catering needs! I've been several times during lunch and they never disappoint. Great food, portions and prices.

Fresh product. The cashier was very helpful telling me about the menu. I choose a tasty pasta dish

Chef Luciano was a delightful experience. From first impressions, the outside looks nice, sleek and clean. It looks like there are plenty of seats inside. Walking inside, you're immediately greeted with a wall, but that's what's unique, there's two different sides to Luciano's Kitchen, and then Chicken. Luciano's Kitchen specializes in Italian eatery and the Chicken side specializes in Indian eatery.

If you were looking for a restaurant style dining, here's where you might be confused. Both sides of Luciano's serves leaning towards a fast food style of dining. However, their menu variety and food serve feel more like a restaurant dining. This weird half-half happens throughout my experience here and the restaurant in general.

I ordered the Chicken Alfredo from the Kitchen side and the Chicken Curry Bowl from the Chicken side. These are two of my favorite types of dishes to eat. I wasn't disappointed either. Both dishes were great, I did really like the flavor on both. The prices were not as expensive either. Both dishes together cost approximately $18.

The Chicken Alfredo with garlic bread and Chicken Curry Bowl was served in take-out containers and on a metal tray. That's not so bad honestly. The Chicken Alfredo was rich in Italian flavor, the sauce felt right. However, the cauliflower and carrots feel like they really threw the flavor off a bit. It still tasted delicious. The garlic bread at first glance looked like it was shot with an herb shotgun, my initial impression of it wasn't that well. But, tasting it, the garlic bread was a good mix between crunchy and nice and soft. The flavor of it almost made me eat too much of before eating any of the main foods. The Chicken Curry Bowl had plenty of flavor to it. The vegetables didn't overrun the chicken and the sauce was plenty but didn't drown it.

I also ordered the Chef Luciano's Lemonade and Ginger Beer. The lemonade was fantastic, sweet and not too sour. It leaves a nice after taste that reminds me of Lemon Heads. The ginger beer came off strong initally, and it's flavor had a dull after taste. It feels like there's artificial sweeteners or preservatives in there. But it was a good buy, and don't regret it.

What I was confused about was the discrepancy between between a dining setting and being a fast food place. There isn't too much seating, I won't knock them for that. But there was one random table on the Kitchen side that is draped with a table cloth. Of course, I sat there. The tray, the seating, the modern and sleek look, the take-out containers being served for "For Here." It all feels kind of confusing for an atmosphere. However, the entire time I was here, business was good and fast for them. If it's not broken, don't fix it! Good on you, Chef Luciano's.

Really good, moist flavorful roasted chicken. The coleslaw is also very good with a good sweet and tangy balance and a hint of ginger. Seating is limited; it's more of a take out kind of place despite the chef name.

This place has some delicious food! You can have it to go or take order in. They have done some remodeling since the last time I've been there and it looks great! There are 2 parts one seems to have fried dishes and the other side has grilled and baked. You can see the chefs with fresh ingredients. Such a Chicago gem!
