About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Great for fine wines
Neighborhood gem

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.

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)

Osteria Lucio provided a great authentic Italian dining experience. Everything we tried was very well prepared from quality ingredients, with much of it clearly being homemade. The starters, entrees, and dessert were truly spectacular, with pronounced flavors, and very nice presentation. The sauces were masterful, and of note, the side of gnocchi was as good as I have ever tasted, pillowy soft. Definitely a go-to for a high-end Italian meal.
