Authentic Italian & Sicilian Cusine in Downtown Ludington
Table of Page Contents
Luciano’s Ristoranti has been a favorite Ludington restaurant since 1998, and they now have a newly redecorated modern look similar to a local trattoria or bistro.
The Maniaci family owns and operates Luciano’s Ristoranti, with emphasis not only upon exquisite food, but also on professional customer service. Accompany your lunch or dinner with an “exclusive only to Luciano Ristorani” signature wine or true Italian cocktail.
Luciano’s features the classic recipes of the Maniaci family, such as brick-oven pizzas. Their pizza is unique and delicious, and made with fresh toppings. Luciano’s pizza is made from homemade dough which contains air, resulting in a light and crispy crust. They also have gluten-free pizza offerings and offer pizza delivery.
Not in the mood for pizza? Not to worry! Enjoy Luciano’s classic pastas like lasagna, spaghetti marinara, Fettuccine Bolognese, and Fettuccine Alfredo. Continue to be delighted and satisfied with other Sicilian and Italian fare including hand-cut meats and a selection of fresh vegetables, pasta, and desserts from all regions of the Italian Peninsula. The Maniaci Family prides themselves in using only the freshest ingredients. Doughs and sauces are hand-made from scratch every time, and all ingredients are hand cut fresh, as available or imported from the most desirable and discerning suppliers. Please feel free to inquire daily as to their soups, salads, and sides of the day. All food is made fresh to order from scratch, prepared by Luciano Ristoranti’s award-winning, extensively-trained culinarians.

What is a trattoria?
According to the Merriam-Webster website:
In Italian, “trattore” is the word for an innkeeper or restaurant owner. That word derives from the Old French verb traitier, which means “to treat” and is related to the Latin tractare, meaning “to drag about, handle, or deal with.” “Trattoria,” which first appeared in English in 1832, is one of several words that have entered our language to refer to a kind of specialized eatery – in this case, one that specializes in Italian cuisine. Others that have come later include “bistro” (from French, 1921), “brasserie” (from French, 1864), and “taqueria” (from Mexican Spanish, 1982).
