A taste of Tuscany and local treasure that is simply delicious. For over three decades, Luceti's has served Italian cuisine created by world class chef and awarded San Franciscan, Roger Bertola. Founder of the legendary Doro's, Ruggero's and master chef of Fior and the Iron Horse. Mr. Bertola was also the personal chef to generals Eisenhower and Paton. Today, Luceti's owners carry on the same tradition and cuisine that was started by Dr. Ron Luceti in 1984. Luceti's is a great place for private parties and business meetings.

    Our server was wonderful, fun and very personable. The food was fresh and really good. The only reason for a 4-star rating on ambience was that the entrance from the back of the restaurant (handicapped parking for my 83 y/o mother) and the restroom could use a little cleaning. Other than that, a very fun evening and great menu options for everyone, including vegetarians!

    Where our table was it was too close to the table next to ours. We couldn’t even carry on a conversation with our friends it was so noisy from the table next to ours. You should not have tables so close to one another.

    We haven't been to Luceti's in years. We decided to go last night, based on the convenience of their location, and the friends we were going with. I will say that this is not the Luceti's I remember! While it wasn't bad in the past, it just has a much better vibe, now. I believe they may be under new management, since our last visit. Food was good, service was great, and price was right where it should be! We WILL be back again!

    Really enjoyed our dining experience! Luceti’s is a neighborhood gem. You can tell it’s the place to go for warm hospitality and delicious food. We were a party of 3 and everyone enjoyed their entrees; calamari steak, veal scaloppini and of course pasta with meatballs. The Caesar salad was a nice beginning to our meal. Even if you are not a local, the staff and patrons make you feel you are at the right place.

    It was a bit disappointing. Seated us next to the kitchen even though I asked in my reservation for a nice table for an 88th birthday dinner. The waiter was pretty much nonexistent, i had to ask someone not in waitstaff attire for a glass of wine for the birthday person (manager, owner?). Two of the 3 meals were very good, my New York steak was tough and maybe 1/2 inch thick, it did not resemble a New York. The table with the people who knew the owner/manager got nice big steaks and great service.
