Luciano's does it the right way in Rahway

by Teresa Politano

 "...One of those vibrant dinner scenes is at Luciano's... just around the corner from the beautifully renovated Union County Arts Center. Luciano's might be big - with a big, bold bar to match - but the Tuscan style décor is warm. Despite a near-capacity crowd, we were treated like VIPs. This fall, when big names hit the arts center co-owner, Michael Merlis, expects even more people to re-discover the town (Rahway)."

Luciano's offers real Italian flavor in Rahway

by Millicent K. Brody

 "Open only a few months, Luciano's Italian Ristorante & Lounge in Rahway is the topic of a favorable buzz. Visitors to Luciano's can easily imagine dining in an old-world atmosphere. Lovers of real Italian food will enjoy the array of homespun specialties. Modeled after a Tuscan villa, with a huge bar, two working fireplaces, fauxed walls in warm-glazed ochre.. two spacious dining rooms may easily be converted to accommodate a corporate affair or family
