Located in the bustling Mamilla Mall, Luciana takes its cue from the Italian tradition both in its menu and interior design.
Luciana’s menu offers diners a wealth of kosher delicacies, prepared by Chef Amiram Dotan and his skilled kitchen staff. Among the dishes on the menu, one can find excellent breakfasts, such as the Sicilian breakfast (Eggs Benedict with asparagus on toast with Parmesan cheese); excellent cheeses and special salads; a range of baked goods such as the bruschetta with tomatoes and Parmesan or the Focaccia Caprese; mouthwatering appetizers such as Artichoke alla Romana; fresh fish prepared in a variety of styles; and of course, a wealth of exquisitely delicious pastas: fetuccini with wild mushrooms, pappardelle with leak and potato, tortellini and more.
Luciana opens with a variety of amazing breakfasts at 09:30 every morning, and closes when the last of its patrons leaves. Luciana is an aesthetic, culinary and cultural masterpiece that is reminiscent of top restaurants abroad. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the elegant, meticulous decor and richly flavored Italian food will entice you to return time and again.
The stunning VIP room can host up to 80 guests for Bar/Bat Mitzvah’s, private parties and other events.

“Disgusting food, disgusting service ULTRA ULTRA Orthodox hell hole”
Number one Luciana IS NOT an "Italian Restaurant". Rather it is an ULTRA ULTRA Orthodox initiation of what the ignoramuses who own it think Italian food is. Service by female staff members is usually pretty decent, but if you are unfortunate enough to get one of their male waiters, run run run. Food...
MoreNumber one Luciana IS NOT an "Italian Restaurant". Rather it is an ULTRA ULTRA Orthodox initiation of what the ignoramuses who own it think Italian food is. Service by female staff members is usually pretty decent, but if you are unfortunate enough to get one of their male waiters, run run run. Food is not Italian by any stretch of the imagination. Their pseudo-Pizza Napalatano is edible and not totally disgusting, but La Piedra is right up the hill from here and is both ULTRA kosher as well, while being arguably the best pizza in Jerusalem. The salads range from bland to grotesque. Their Cesar Salad is just a bowl of fourth rate Romain lettuce, the dressing (the main event in a CESAR SALAD ) is not actually CESAR dressing, but some sort of Ultra kosher mishmash. No anchovi paste in the dressing and is mandatory on a CESAR salad. No options of bacon, or grilled chicken additions because this is a Ultra Kosher pseudo restaurant. The so called Italian dishes are so mediocre to terrible, that you'd be better served cracking open a can of Chef Boyardi. I would give these competent idiots a zero star rating if 0 was a possibility. They add fees and charges to the bill, and their rude male wait staff always tries to upsell unwanted garbage. If you have taste in food steer clear of this place. The only thing this place has going for it is the view.
