About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Neighborhood gem
Great for fine wines

The story of food is the story of friendship. When you combine Irish conviviality with the irrepressible Italian nature, it’s always going to be a good thing. Chefs Ross Lewis and Luciano Tona have been friends through Michelin starred food, and tall tales, for many years. At Osteria Lucio they unite their love of Irish and Italian food with the very best of produce, from both countries.

The food was excellent; the service was very good, however, from circa 11:10 the wait staff were keen for us to go; taking our drinks off the table, asking us if we want anymore, tidying up around us. We were always going to leave at circa 11:45 anyway; however, the overall experience was diminished by this.

Lunch was a special 2 or 3course fixed price. A bit pricey but food delicious. Having travelled from Belfast for the day it was the highlight. We have only been there in the evening in previous visits and we were surprised at how quiet it was in comparison to evening.
