Good food within easy walk to McCormick Hyatt Regency and the conference center. Lunch portions are served all day and are generous, and a decent value for $ 10. I had the salmon lunch with veggies, rice pilaf, and garlic bread and it was delicious. I went back the next night and had the roasted chicken with beans and rice which was also good, but the beans were a little dry.

I am slowly weaning myself off of meat; however, it has been difficult finding places around where I intern for meat free lunch options. I found this place on Unilocal and I am so glad I did! I ordered the veggie platter and the lemonade and was very satisfied. Not only was the food good but the prices were reasonable and the service was fast. I also like that they cater to both meat eaters and non meat eaters. I will definitely be back.

The jumbo wings are JUMBO. I ordered 4 and could only eat 1.5. They didn’t taste like what I expected, but hey we’re good. The lemonade wasn’t great in my opinion. The menu was very diverse and even had some healthy items. If I were to go back, I would definitely have curry.

Awesome shrimp curry dish. Restaurant quality in a fast casual environment. I would make it a point to go out of my way to come back for this dish.

It’s okay. Reasonable price and amount of food for fast food.

Best hole in the wall spot in the south loop. There’s something for everyone. The jerk chicken, grilled tilapia, and salmon Caesar are my personal favorites. Garlic bread comes with everything. Portions are always huge. Not ideal for dining in, seating is limited.

ordered tilapia lunch special, it a seasoned and sauteed tilapia served with stir fried vegetables and rice pilav. everything tasted fresh and was cooked right. the tilapia was good but the only complaint I had is that there was a lot of random bones in it. they need to clean it better that’s all. would come back to try their other food items

I was happy when I found out that this place delivers to Hyde Park. I ordered the Salmon and Jerk Chicken. Great portions and good food.

For starters they forgot my order so my fiancé and I waited 25 min then I went up and said where’s order #? They all looked confused. 5 minutes later they give me her order of jerk chicken dinner. «Sorry for the mix up you want lemonade or cookies». And my cajun catfish dinner. Wait no that is Salmon. Take it back.(had it been a full order of salmon I would have taken it and felt some retribution). OH ok here’s my cajun catfish. Where’s the Quinoa. Sorry they forgot that too. My fiancé had the jerk chicken. WTF! This is not Jerk! THISISBBQSAUCE! It tasted like shitty mild sauce from a shitty wok. The«roasted garlic potatoes» tasted more like boiled potatoes. No garlic seasoning. They have no clue what cajun means the catfish tasted like bland paper mixed with mediocrity. The lemonade tasted like oppression. It’s a disgrace they are allowed to use the label Cajun/Creole.

Incredible food. The chicken gumbo was heavenly, & we’ve never had better catfish. Grilled with fresh cilantro on top. Yum. We’ll definitely return.

I have had Chef Luciano a few times; when I come into the city Here is why I’m only giving them 2 stars. I normally get the jerk or just roasted chicken which is alright. On February 11 after coming back from taking my mom to an appointment, I ordered 2 of their new dish Chicken Tikka(Marsala) as the gentleman who took my order said. 1st the delivery man, gave us the wrong order, Turns out, we WISHED we had kept that order, we also got a side of collard greens and swiss chard and cornbread. The cornbread is over sweet, the collard greens were just horrible, and that«Chcken Tikka» aka Marsala NEEDS to be taken off the menu entirely. The dish reminds me of being a child, before your mother goes shopping she gets rid of all the leftovers, so she throws it all together to make something, well this was worse It has boiled potatoes, not roasted like stated on phone, when asked is that all right? Then rice which was not edible because the seasonings is overpowering, and then some I DON“T what kind of cabbage or what it was, but it very was bitter. Oh and it came with garlic bread. «The description read, in a creamy spicy sauce», NOPE, it was DRY and too many fighting seasoning. I only had a few pieces of cut up chicken, and too much curry or something, the dish made NOSENSE whatsoever. The dish was not at all what it was described to be, and certainly was NOMARSALA just A bunch of stuff thrown in a container, the only thing worth eating was the Swiss Chard. It was the worst $ 60 plus I’ve spent on a meal. I would not recommend this dish to anyone, and IF I ever go back, it will only be for the fried, roasted or jerk chicken. Added picture 2÷14÷16 As you can see my mother NEVER ate her creamy chicken tikki from Thursday,…

I love their offerings as they have unique items that allow me to follow a special low-carb diet. One of the first things i tried was the turkey lentil chili. It had plenty of vegetables in it, had good spices to flavor and was hearty. I also enjoyed the balsamic chicken with vegetables, and subbed the rice with black beans. The side of spinach was filled with garlic and onions. I will lose friends over this, but I don’t care. I’ll be back for more!

I GrubHub’ed some food from here. As I’m in Hyde Park I was surprised they’d deliver this far south. I was so pleased when my order arrived within a reasonable time(prob about 30min). Everything was nicely packaged. Unfortunately, I had noted«no onion! onion allergy» on my 3 items, and all 3 came with onion:(The 5 stars are because(1) they *immediately* refunded my $, no hassle, and(2) what I did taste(lettuce from the salad; shrimp stirfry I rinsed off) was really yummy! WIll order again, and call to ensure no onion…

I stopped by here for dinner during my first night in Chicago a few weeks ago. Given that I’d just gotten in and was staying at the Hyatt McCormick Place, this was one of the few restaurants nearby with decent reviews, so I decided to check it out. For my meal, I ordered the half roasted chicken, which came with pita bread, veggies, and rice. I opted for red beans for an extra $ 0.75, which were served on top of the rice. At the end of my meal, I also got a piece of cheesecake to go. I also had to try the lemonade, so I got a small bottle of it to accompany my meal. My food was served about 10 min. after ordering, and was brought out to the table fast casual style. I was quite pleased with the quality of the food, given the location and price. The chicken was succulent and juicy with pleasantly caramelized, well-seasoned skin. The veggies were also well-cooked and not mushy, and the red beans were a nice touch. The cheesecake was good, making for a nice dessert once I returned to the hotel. The standout item was the lemonade, though, which had just the right amount of sweetness, striking an elusive balance between the tartness of Minute Maid and the cloying sweetness of Auntie Anne’s. Overall, I was quite pleased with my experience at Chef Luciano, and I’d recommend it for people attending an event at McCormick Place as a nice change of pace from the limited options in the convention center and hotel. If you happen to be in this part of Chicago, check it out!

Very good lunch special options. It was a short walk from the McCormick Convention Center. They shared a space with a chicken place. I’m glad I decided to go to Chef Luciano for lunch. There are many food dishes to choose from Italian to Indian to Cajun. I decided to order their Tilapia lunch special with a side of Chicken Barley Rice Soup. I couldn’t finish all of it so they were also my dinner that night.

This place is in the South of the city in a somewhat shady neighborhood. During off-peak hours when there is not a lot of crowd on the streets, it feels a bit unsafe to walk. I had their aloo and black eyed peas curry with pulao rice on the side. I didn’t like both. The aloo dish was definitely not fresh, my guess is at least 3 – 4 days old. The pulao also didn’t taste very good either. I won’t go here again. Sorry, guys!

3.5 Stars I think I may have ended up on the wrong side of the restaurant, but it’s all good. My meal was around $ 15.00. I went with the shrimp alfredo. That’s pricey to me except for the fact it lasted me about 3 days. LOL… the portion sizes are huge. The food was decent, but had a little bit of an oily taste to it. I wasn’t a huge fan of the garlic breads. My favorite part of the meal was the strawberry cheesecake. It was delicious! Definitely will be going back for that and to check out other items. The food is prepared to order so the wait was about 15 minutes.

The Tilapia dinner is amazing! A favorite of mine for years. One of the places I must visit when I come back to Chicago. This is not a sit down spot unless you don’t mind a tight squeeze and other patrons standing next to your table while they wait for their order. There is one small intimate room that I’ve never seen used. I do believe they cater. If you love this place you’re in good company. The walls are covered pictures in famous folks who have enjoyed Chef Luciano’s. Please never leave and never close this restaurant.

I don’t know how I slept on this place for so long. I practically pass it at least 2−3x a week and never thought to stop in. Glad that changed. The portion sizes are HUGE! I wasn’t sure how big the portion size was so I called myself ordering two meals and I couldn’t even finish one. I ordered the half chicken dinner with plantains which was really good. I also ordered shrimp alfredo which was good but was a little skimpy on the shrimp. But both orders were huge. I had leftovers for a few days. Definitely would come again.
