Ristorante Luciano's of Chicago

Set in a former mansion, Luciano's says elegance from the moment you enter the marble and mahogany foyer. Dining areas benefit from creative atmospheric lighting, which accents the warm colors and mesmerizing harbor views. Traditional Italian fare is the specialty, although there are a few excellent Bahamas-inspired options as well, such as the unusual conch cakes with rosa aioli. Pastas are perfectly al dente, well-sauced and available in half portions, but perhaps the star dish is the juicy clay pot roasted chicken with lemon, garlic, potatoes and tomatoes. Steaks are also a specialty Enjoy a cocktail or a glass of wine in the bar before dinner – Nassau's 9 to 5'ers frequently gather here for after-work appetizers and socializing.
