For more than four decades, Luciana’s Ristorante has stood as a cornerstone of fine Italian dining in Dana Point. Family-owned and operated, the restaurant brings authentic Italian flavors to Southern California’s coast with a focus on tradition, warmth, and consistency. Housed in a historic Lantern District home, Luciana’s offers an atmosphere that feels both refined and welcoming — reminiscent of dining in an elegant countryside villa.

The menu highlights classic Italian fare, including Calamari Fritti, Melanzane Arrosto, Scampi al Aglio, and signature pasta dishes such as Fettuccine Toscana and Rigatoni Salsiccia. Each recipe reflects time-honored Italian culinary methods paired with fresh, quality ingredients. Complementing the menu is a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence-winning wine list, boasting over 350 labels from ten countries. With its blend of sophistication and familiarity, Luciana’s remains one of Orange County’s most trusted destinations for genuine Italian cuisine.
