About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Charming

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.

Negroni with coffee infused gin is exquisite. Asparagus starter, veal steak with potatoes and side salad and tagliatelle with green asparagus delicious. A bottle of Brunello di Montalcino 2017 a wonderful accent to our dinner. Cinnamon canolo for dessert a dream. We finished off with two coffee espressi and a Grappa barricata. The service is friendly and knowledgeable.

The food was amazing, we got the asparagus starter to share, the ragu, the chicken lasagna and then the tiramisu for dessert. Every part was delicious and would recommend each one. When we come again we want to try the pork dish but with the time we had it would’ve taken too long but we will order ahead next time. 5/5 highly recommend.

Solid restaurant but expected it would be a little more spectacular. Pasta which was both main courses was al dente but very thick and stodgy. Other dishes were excellent (olives, dessert and tuna)
