" Nothing beats the classic charm of a family-run Italian restaurant, and Lubranos 36 did not disappoint! I treated my family to a dinner here for my mother’s birthday. We started with the calamari, which was crisp and served with a zesty marinara sauce that was a perfect compliment. For my entrée, I chose the chicken marsala, and it was mouthwatering! The chicken was tender, and the marsala sauce was rich in flavor without being overpowering. We also made use of their BYOB policy, which let us enjoy our favorite wine for less! The ambiance may not be flashy, but it's filled with warmth and joy, making it perfect for gatherings. I can’t wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently celebrated my birthday at Lubranos 36 and it was a great time! We gathered a group of friends, and the rustic Italian charm of the place made it all the more enjoyable. The food was mouthwatering; I particularly liked the lasagna, rich with filling, followed by a luscious tiramisu. The staff were friendly and provided pleasant service, making sure we were happy throughout our meal. The children in our party had a great time too, which is important. I’ll certainly think of Lubranos for future family gatherings! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience at Lubranos was exactly what I hoped for: authentic Italian food at reasonable prices. I had the eggplant parmesan, which was fresh and baked to perfection. I paired it with a lovely bottle of Chianti from the nearby store—a great BYOB option! The décor is simple yet charming, emphasizing the focus on the food rather than the flashiness. I definitely enjoyed my time, and I’ll be returning to try their pizza as I've heard great things about it as well! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing all the hype, I finally made a visit to Lubranos, and it was a delightful experience! I appreciated the warm atmosphere and friendly staff. I ordered the eggplant rollatini, and it was both cheesy and packed with flavor. For the price, the portion size was generous, allowing me to savor each bite. I also enjoyed the BYOB concept; it helps to keep costs down while dining out. While the restaurant could benefit from a bit of modernization in décor, the quality of food and service truly outweigh that. " (*Curated Review*)

" On our last visit to Lubranos 36, we decided to try something new and were incredibly satisfied with our choices. We began with a traditional antipasto platter, which was plentiful with various meats and cheeses. It showcased the restaurant's commitment to authenticity and quality. For our mains, we selected the rigatoni with meatballs and the seafood linguine. Both dishes amazed us with their flavors and freshness. Our server was the best we’ve had in a long time, ensuring we were never left wanting. The charming decor and atmosphere brought everything together for a fantastic dining experience. I highly recommend Lubranos to anyone looking for genuine Italian fare! " (*Curated Review*)

" From the moment we walked into Lubranos 36, it felt like we were transported to an Italian villa. The décor is charming, but what truly stands out is the food. We started with the bruschetta, then I had the rigatoni Bolognese, which was hearty and satisfying. Their rich marinara sauce is second to none, reminiscent of my grandparents' kitchen. Our server made excellent recommendations and ensured we were well taken care of throughout our meal. With the BYOB option, it makes for an enjoyable and more affordable dining experience. I give this place a strong recommendation all around! " (*Curated Review*)

" I tried Lubranos on a quiet weeknight and was pleasantly surprised by the service and quality of the food. I had the chicken Francese, which was buttery and well-seasoned, served alongside a heaping portion of rice pilaf. The dessert selection looked tempting, and I went with the tiramisu—rich and delightful! The staff clearly takes pride in their work, as everything I saw was handled professionally. The ambiance was relaxed, making it a lovely spot for a dinner date. I can see why this place has garnered such loyalty from the local community. " (*Curated Review*)
