Il Lusso

Excellent food and ambience the staff was able to get us a table on short notice. We had a great time.

Excellent experience. Incredibly friendly staff, food was equally as incredible. Highly suggest having a nice date night at Il Lusso.

This was such a beautiful place that we stopped at after a Candlelight Concert. We had to wait a little, but we ordered drinks at the small lounge area. The drinks were made amazing! When we were seated we ordered the mash potatoes which were delightful with a perfect splash of lemon. We both ordered half portions of pasta dishes and they were excellent. Prices were high for the half portions but we expected that going into it. Ambiance was sophisticated and cozy. We loved this place!

Visited IL Lusso tonight and it was nothing short of impressive. We arrived early, without a reservation. The hostess was kind enough to accommodate us, even though it was a busy night as the Christmas parade was happening right in front of the restaurant. Our sever was extremely polite, knowledgeable, offering suggestions based on our preferences. We had the arancini as an appetizer. It was perfectly fried while remaining creamy inside. For entrees we had the special ravioli filled with mortadella and Gorgonzola cheese. It was seasoned and filled properly. My Mom had the bucatini carbonara. Pasta was al dente and the sauce delicious. Desserts were tiramisu and a brown butter baked alaska. Beautifully presented, not overly sweet. Ambiance was chic, lively, but not overly loud that it was annoying. Service was impeccable from everyone that came to our table. I wish I lived in town so I could visit more often.

We went to Il Lusso for our anniversary after less than stellar service at Chucks Fish House. We were able to secure a reservation while driving around the corner to the restaurant. Our experience was amazing! From the moment we walked in everyone was welcoming and hospitable. Cole was fabulous and made sure we were well taken care of. The food was superb!! The ambiance was perfect for our anniversary. It was our first time there but definitely won't be the last!

We went for an early dinner after a full day of touring FSU. We had already had a full day and were looking forward to an evening of delicious food, a few cocktails and camaraderie with friends. Il Lusso delivered the goods. The room is warmly decorated. The tables are well spaced out, and despite a packed house, it was easy to converse and flat out comfortable. There is an outdoor patio area which would have been perfect for a smaller party on such a beautiful evening. Our server team was friendly, attentive and on point. Water was always filled. We were not left wanting for food or service at any point. Started off with a Black Manhattan pre-meal. A nice stiff cocktail hit the spot. Switched it up to Guinness afterwards, despite them trying to bring me another round of bourbon, as I wasn't looking to overdo things... Among things we started off with were charred octopus and meatballs. Both were flavorful, properly prepared and simply delicious. A great start. Went with the bone-in Filet as a main. It was cooked spot on and reminded me a little bit of the Ruth's Chris version as it was definitely finished and/or basted in butter. Another winner. Loved all of the sides as well--all that I felt was missing as an option was Fries. Mashed potatoes, mushroom medley, crispy brussels and brown butter carrots. All were delicious. No room for dessert. Towards the end we were politely reminded that our table for 10 was needed for another party. Not a problem at all and they couldn't have been any nicer. We were able to walk there from a nearby hotel. Definitely a restaurant to which I'd return should I make it back to Tallahassee.

The food was great, the service was outstanding! Nice ambiance, we had the lobster mezzaluna and the pasta bolognese, both were delicious! Started with the app special which was a scallop tartare dish. Had a yummy cocktail too, but it was seasonal so not on the regular menu but it was really good! For dessert we had the baked Alaska. It was good, but not outstanding. Overall, a great experience, we will be back!

Food: 10/10 Service: 10/10 Ambiance 10/10 This place is a gem!! Every part of this dinner was incredible. Make a reservation before going, it is worth it. From the food, to the quality service, this place is definitely a dress up place. Date night, celebration or just a nice night out, give this place a try. I cannot say enough about the Caramel Mocha Baked Alaska! Definitely recommend you give this dessert a try!
