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.

Service was efficient, the staff were very friendly and accommodating. The pre-theatre / early-bird menu was rather limited with choices, we both ordered the calamari for starter which was quite over cooked/rubbery in texture. For mains we ordered the Ragu Pasta and the asparagus fettuccine, the Ragu was nice but the pasta was a bit too under cooked. The asparagus fettuccine was quite bland in flavor - there was not enough sauce to coat the full portion of pasta. We ordered Tiramisu for dessert which was well presented and tasty. Overall a pleasant experience but quite underwhelming.
