Went for evening meal - place was great atmosphere and very busy but got seated immediately. Great menu choices, service quick and efficient. Had a couple of pasta dishes - excellent food with very good sauces. Local beer also very nice.

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.

MorePreviously, I heard very good things about the restaurant, but yesterday I had a very disapointing experience at Luciana. Our main courses didn’t came together (my sister’s one took about 5 minutes more than the others), and mine wasn’t tasty at all, with a lot of different seasoning but without a good taste. To end the experience, the waiter brought the check with a line of service included as an item of the check (written in hebrew, which took me a lot of time to understand). We then asked the waiter if that was suggested, and he said it was mandatory. We found this very disapointing, because we knew that in Israel restaurants don’t bring the service included in the checks. To make it even worse, the service was about 15% of the value, which was quite a lot. Not coming back very soon to Luciana...
