After eating in Luciano`s Sunderland for at least 25 years, having excellent food, service and friendship with the management and staff before closure. We finally decided to try our hometown restaurant, and wished we hadn`t.
Couldn`t fault the food, but service was abysmal. Main course...and drinks came quick enough, but sat waiting over 20 mins after we`d finished, for someone to clear the table, ask us if we wanted the dessert menu, more drinks, or even give us a comeback on the food, but nothing. The so called manager minced past us five times and just ignored us. Having had enough we went to the bar and asked for the bill. Funnily enough, he was quick enough to clear the table while we were paying.
First and sadly last time we will visit.More
