Ambiance is great. Fresh and contemporary but still cozy. The food is spectacular. We have had 2 fantastic meals and can’t wait to come back. You can see the attention to detail in the food. Service was excellent.

I wish this was a better review. Server was alone with a trainee but she did her best. We felt rushed with the menu. Speaking of which the very pricey wine list is QR code only. I don’t know about you but I love reading a wine list in print not on my phone. The menu is woefully inadequate with fresh veg starter options or sides for that matter. We split the Zitta pasta which was delicious. They were out of focaccia but the grilled sourdough made up for it. My main, “old fashioned breaded veal cutlets” were mostly breading. Veal was pretty sparse. The mixed greens were dressed with oil. No nothing else not even salt. My husband ( it was his birthday and I made a point of letting them know when I booked and when we arrived) enjoyed his ribs and gave the kale salad a 4 out of 5. Nothing was offered in the way of a birthday dessert. In fact no dessert was offered: I truly wanted this to be a great dinner. It was a celebration evening and the resto is in our hood. But we won’t be back.

This place has a nice ambiance on the patio. The menu options sound interesting but overall, we felt that something was lacking in the flavour (maybe salt?). When we visited, they had a special menu item of pasta with shredded rooster meat which sounded interesting. The speducci consists of skewers of bbq lamb. The centre was a bit pink so watch out if you are avoiding raw food. They also had a starter called The best tomatoes you'll ever eat" which basically is sliced tomatoes with salt and slivers of basil. Honestly

This restaurant is a very delightful little spot tucked away on Dupont. The service was impeccable. The server suggested an excellent wine that was very unique and was highly knowledgeable. The interior is designed very nicely, it's got warm dim lighting, and it's fairly cozy. The seating is a little tight, but not too bad. There's an absolutely gorgeous heated patio with little fire places, it was available in the middle of February, so I assume that's open all year round. It was sealed in a tent. Very cool. The food is high quality and fresh, the shrimp appetizer was the best thing I think we had. We also ordered the steak tartare which was lovely, but could have used maybe a little more salt or flavoring. Our mains were also very good, and fresh, I had the rockfish and the dish was delicious but again, could have maybe used a little more punch. The desert was awesome, and cocktails were also very good. I will definitely be going back.

Full disclosure, the owner is my neighbour.An authentic Italian experience. Quoting my wife: “he makes the pasta sing”, all the pasta dishes are amazing.Go enjoy what I think is one of the best Italian restaurants in the city.

We've been to Lucia a couple of times and are so glad it is in our neighbourhood! I hope they are able to survive the pandemic because it was an amazing little spot before Covid and we dined on the patio in July when we were finally able to start dining again and it was amazing then as well. We are INCREDIBLY picky about food and everything we've had at Lucia has been fantastic. Especially the beautiful dish I had in July (homemade tortelli in a cream sauce which I usually shy away from because I'm lactose intolerant. Totally worth it!!!) The service has been great as well. I highly recommend Lucia! On a side note: I feel it's unfair to judge our restaurants during this pandemic as harshly as we would under normal circumstances especially if you are ordering takeout. Food of this caliber is never going to be as good once you get it home. Please be kind during these insane times. Our restaurants have been through a lot and are doing the best they can and our city would not be what it is without them.

Had a pleasant dining experience at Lucia. Felt safe dining on their patio.. tables were distanced, and they had hand sanitizers readily available on their tables. Service was friendly and prompt. Food was delicious, but the appetizers we chose were a little lacking. While the steak tartare and octopus crostini were good.. something was missing in flavours - needed a little more intensity for me. We also had the lamb, mackerel and gnocchi. Those were all very tasty - especially the gnocchi... the sauce was delicious.

This was our first time dining at Lucia. My husband and I were seated at their lovely outdoor heated patio. The food was INCREDIBLE. The portions were perfect. We enjoyed every single bite. The cocktails were also such a delight! Our server Emily is such a sweet soul. You have got try this gem of a place out! You will be so happy you did. Thanks Lucia! We can’t wait to come back.

Absolutely loved this place! I ordered the Agnolotti, Gnocchi & the Garganelli..it was phenomenal!I loved the twist of honey on the Agnolotti. All the pasta was fresh and the sauces had a unique twist.For appetizers we got the focaccia and the Bufala Mozzarella (from Puglia).Overall great experience-- HIGH value for your money.
