Since opening in 2015, Luciano Trattoria has been a quiet force in La Petite Patrie, offering Italian cuisine that prioritizes simplicity and authenticity. Housed in a repurposed garage with open-air charm in the summer, the space pairs industrial edges with warm wood tones, creating an atmosphere that feels as unpretentious as the food it serves.
The menu, curated by chef-owner Luciano DâOrazio, focuses on antipasti and pasta, emphasizing fresh, high-quality ingredients over gimmicks. Classics like veal meatballs in tomato sauce and bucatini allâamatriciana showcase the kitchenâs respect for tradition, while the beloved gnocchiâa fan favourite so popular it couldnât be retiredâreflects the trattoriaâs intimate connection with its clientele. Wine lovers will appreciate the accessible list which complements the menu without overwhelming.
