Italian Restaurants in Dorchester

“The whole experience was different and special . On booking I was asked if we could order out starters and mains over the phone . My group of four had no problem with this request . On arriving we were taken down a set of stairs into the main restaurant to our table . Wine drinks were ordered and our starters arrived . They were absolutely lovely . But the best was yet to come the mains all cooked to perfection looked fantastic and tasted like angels dancing on your tongue . I would highly recommend this little family restaurant and will be returning on our next visit to Dorsey”

“How have I never been here before ?. Pizzas were fantastic and the service was outstanding. Will 100% be ”

“Been to Lucianos (Luccios? Carluccios??) a couple of times in the last year and it's a decent place for Italian.The food has been great, with a decent pizza, fantastic beef ragu, and the best carbonara I've graced my tastebuds with the second time. I cannot stress enough, the food is FANTASTIC. Portions could do with a little more, but what I've got thus far has tasted lovely.Both times I've come in the place has been eerily quiet, so either something's up with my timing or the place is just... quiet? Regardless, the service has been timely, albeit mild-mannered, both times which isn't an issue at all. There is a 12.5% service charge stuck on as a heads-up, which you'll find in tiny text at the bottom of the menu. Not a fan of that trend as a whole, as I'd much rather tip good service and good food where it's due.My only complaints are the pricing (which is *STEEP*, especially for Dorset at £50+ for dinner for two) and the fact they took beef ragu off the menu - it was a fantastic dish and taking it off the menu is a crime against humanity. Bring it back!Either way, Luciano's food is fantastic, on the proviso that you aren't the person paying for it... But I don't know if that says more about myself or the restaurant. If the staff were a bit chattier and the British economy wasn't doing an impression of the Titanic (or things were a bit cheaper), I'd give five stars.”
