Prettty Disappointing

by IloveFood

Went there tonite with my boyfriend,. we have both worked in the food service industry for a combined total of about 18 years. Our server was very very polite, I think her name was Claire. Our food however was made with cheap ingredients and poorly created.

We started out with the Calamari which has already gotten a pretty terrible review here on citysearch. We got the calamari and it was honestly the worst calamari I have ever tasted... chewy to the point of being inedible. Our server didn't even ask how it was, I think because she prolly had an idea what we would have said..

I ordered the eggplant Parmesan and my boyfriend ordered the spinach ravioli with a vodka sauce. These meals came with salads which were RIDICULOUS. The salad included iceberg lettuce, huge radishes, tomato, cucumber, and GREEN OLIVES. Pretty awkward salad.... awkward being the only word I can use to describe the awe in which this salad was prepared.

The spinach ravioli was OBVIOUSLY cheap and frozen but the vodka sauce was pretty good and probably made to order. The eggplant Parmesan was GREASY and pretty gross.... the red sauce was pretty good though.

All in all this place should probably be avoided.... not very good or worth the money.............

• Pros: really sweet servers
• Cons: awkwardy terrible food.

Fake Reviews by Shamus, GeekLady and buchell

Come Guys...it is so OBVIOUS! Shamus12321, GeekLady and buchell profiles were all created by the owners in a FUTILE attempt to bolster their reputation through FAKE REVIEWS. If you click on their profile names, you will see that the only review in the history is for this joint. And the sad part is... the food used to be really good, and now, really, really bad stuff going on here!

Excellent Italian Food

by Shamus12321

I love this restaurante. I grew up in a suburb of New York City and I am accustomed to great italian eats. I can tell you right now that Lubrano's is the best italian food in the triangle. I have even served tables there for a period of time and I am close friends with the owner. Like any restaurantes, Lubrano's can sometime have a bad day. But the good outweighs the bad here. I have been eating there for years; since the place opened. One thing that is very special about this place is that they will cook your food exactly how you want it. You can basically create your own pasta dish and add any sort of meat or vegetables to it with any time of sauce. The Pizza is truely delicious with thin and crispy new your style crust. And the stromboli's.... fuhget about it. If you have had a bad experience at this restaurante, just give it another chance. These family owned restaurantes are a rare breed these days and we need to keep them up and running. And another thing, make friends with the employees. They are all really nice people and getting to know they will enhace the quality of your experience there.

Favorite Entrees: Shrimp Fra Diavola, Aglio Olio (w/ chicken and broccoli), Shrimp Scampi (w/ Spinach and Broccoli), Arrabiata, Veal Saltimbocca, and last but not least Shrimp Parmigiana.

The Pizza is incredible but the strombolis are DANGEROUSLY GOOD.

• Pros: Create your own entrees, great prices, delicious food.
• Cons: Service quality varies with the server.
