Da Luciano - Windsor

Fantastic authentic Italian food, superb service, great ambience. Busy on weekends (as most of Erie Street is). One of our regular stops

What a novel idea I just tried a Groupon with my wife here, The service was very good the food selection was from a predetermined meal. It was delicious every entrée and very timely for a special evening. The fresh made flat pizza was plenty and delicious. Chicken Parmesian was outstanding

This restaurant has some of the best food in the Italian dining district. It doesn't advertise or get as much hype as other restaurants on Via Italia but I think it offers some of the best food you can get in Windsor. I LOVE the house salad dressing and the plate of warm focaccio bread cooked right in the dining room is my favourite part.

The hosts and waiters were wonderfully accommodating to me, my wife, my two boys, and my toddler daughter. We arrived around noon and found them opening and ready to serve. The food was wonderful. A young woman I presume to be the daughter of the owner fired up the grill and preparing an herbed focaccia for us to start with. I ordered the pasta e fagioli soup and was pleasantly surprised It was dark in color and looked to be quite smooth - not what I would normally expect. I tasted it. Rich, creamy, and hearty. It was unlike any that I have ever experienced, and I welcomed the deep flavors that had obviously come from some long cooking. Everyone enjoyed their meals and I especially appreciated the tender tripe in its hearty tomato sauce.A great experience in a wonderful neighborhood.

The food was excellent when the restaurant was at this location, but now that it has closed and been replaced by Avanti, I have yet to visit and try it out. I have heard great things about Avanti though.
