I had the pork chops and oh my!!! They were delicious. My daughter enjoyed the stuffed mushrooms and I was shocked as she has a kids palate. My server was knowledgeable and kind. Lugano is officially our favorite Italian place

We keep on coming back because the food is delicious and prices are just right. Waiters are courteous and friendly. Great place for an after work dinner or just hang out with friends. One of the best restaurants in Raleigh.

I was very surprised when we were told Lugano could not make an egg white omelet for my mother on Mother's Day at her favorite (used to be) restaurant with no reason explained. It was going to busy I am certain, but we were the first people in the restaurant at 1100. My 12 year-old daughter, who does not eat pork (because she thinks pigs are cute) asked if she could get a substitute for the prosciutto, sausage or bacon served with the Lugano Breakfast. We were told for a $2.00 up-charge she could get some fruit, "because fruit is expensive". We asked to get the breakfast as it is served; my brother and I ate the bacon. My brother, my kids and I were in from out of town to enjoy the weekend with our mother. This restaurant experience put a damper on my weekend.

Gluten Free food that isn't a compromise, so glad for that! Even a gluten free bread basket. Thank you for providing a great dining experience for all at the table. We value the price point, the ambiance, and the food quality. Service was good as well.
