Cafe Lucianos Reviews

They are closing this Sunday, December 20th, for a couple of months, so if you are craving your favorite appetizer (baked brie) or pizza pie, you had better get there tonight or tomorrow!

By far the best meatballs, I have had on the West Coast. Fast service, great atmosphere and very friendly staff. We will definitely be back and thank you for being our new favorite Italian restaurant

Loved our first experience when we went before so called for a reservation for Vday. Lady said they where doing call before come. Called a dozen times, NO ANSWER. By that time it was to late to make other plans. Thanks a lot for Fing our evening!! Won't be back!

Caffe Lucianos is a fun little place to get a meal, coffee, or dessert. Great patio seating with a view of the Boise River. The inside seating is nice as well with garage door windows that are open to the outside during nice weather. Great open air feel in a small space. Food was fresh and super delicious. Only down side if there is one is parking. This hot spot is more geared to greenbelt traffic from a bike or walking. Still great place to hang out and go to. Will definately make it back.

Remembering how restaurants where
A throwback
A must go
A hidden gem
thoroughly enjoyed this place

Food was delightful and priced well for anyone wanting good food at an affordable price. But it took a while for our waitress (Courtney) to come take our order.
It took a bit of time for our appetizer to come. Food arrived in good time after our appetizer.
But we had to eventually ask the hostess for more water after our waitress said she would be back to check on us, and never did.
We also had to ask the hostess for our check.
Our waitress was pleasant when she was waiting on us, but she really seemed more focused on a table of 4 that she carried on conversation with for a while each time she waited on them. (The place wasn't busy)
We didn't receive any service. Just food. Which seems strange for the type of place it was. I recommend this cute place if you don't mind having to wave down staff to get what you need.

A smaller quaint version of the main restaurant. Makes a very nice setting for an evening out. Right along the river and near the park makes a nice combination of dinner, drinks and a relaxing walk around the greenbelt and park. Food portions were generous, well made and staff was courteous. Will return again.

We ate here tonight for my son's birthday. The food was awesome but our waitress, Jay, made the experience even better! She had great suggestions from the menu and was genuinely nice. These are tough times for people in the food service industry but she didn't let the strain show at all. It was windy and she made this huge effort to light the candle in my son's Tiramisu and she succeeded! It really made our night. They have great safety measures in place and I heard them patiently explain some of those to guests. Eating on the patio with the river so near, after staying at home for so long, just felt surreal. Wonderful atmosphere. I will definitely eat here again!

Had a very nice experience here! Outdoor patio with great view of the river and mountains. Our food was excellent! I had the pear and goat cheese salad with shrimp, and my friend had the hot Italian sandwich. Our server was Courtney and she was GREAT!!! Very friendly and had good suggestions for food and things to do in town. Highly recommend.
