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.

    We were out to celebrate a birthday. Excellent food and wine and will definitely be back. For starters we had bruschetta and salad and the flavours were superb. For mains we had monkfish and Fettuccine. Highlight of the evening was the deserts. Tiramisu and warm chocolate mouse over pistachio ice cream!! The staff even got a candle in desert and sang Happy birthday.. Would highly recommend

    A party of 5, we were seated promptly when we arrived and offered menus. Our order was taken and delivered in good time, except one meal was missing. This was rectified. We all enjoyed our meal. Prices of wine, per glass, was expensive. We have eaten here a number of times.

    Excellent food fresh and full of flavour Staff were friendly, attentive and unobtrusive The only downside was the price for a pizza... Bit on the expensive side. Highly recommended for the fresh seafood and desserts

    Friendly attentive staff. We both had the Veal Milanese a favorite of ours and it didn’t disappoint. Only criticism we had was the accompanying salad had a very strong vinaigrette dressing which took away from our enjoyment of it.

    Food and service was amazing absolutely could not fault any. We were very impressed by the service and the knowledge of staff when we asked questions about the food. All the staff showed a genuine passion for what they were doing. We will be back. The only criticism I would have was that the tables were far to close together. We were enjoying our self’s very much until two gentlemen came and sit at the next table. It was a business meeting and we could hear the whole conversation for the remaining time and that just got very distracting. They were very loud and it just totally changed the atmosphere.

    From the welcome at the door, through to service and quality of food, this was a world-class experience! I had been wanting to try Lucio's for years now, and decided to try it on our 34th wedding anniversary. We were not disappointed, and would highly recommend an evening at Lucio's. We can both highly recommend the roasted suckling pig!

    Two out of six of us arrived earlier than the others and were served a drink pretty much straight away. The other four people arrived and it took almost 30 minutes for them to be served a drink. Most dishes were nice, but the suckling pig dish one of us had was tasteless and very disappointing. Later on in the meal, the service got a bit better, but overall the service at the beginning was a big letdown.

    This was always a great restaurant but since they took away the pizzas from the menu (1 choice still remains) this place now shines as an osteria of the best choice of Italian style food. Wine choices not good QPR but otherwise acceptable. If you want food food, good service and great ambience try this local gem!

    I have been there on a number of occasion. Lovely buzzy restaurant and service good but this time food was quite poor which really surprised me. Ordered the pasta with venison which sounded delicious. Was informed it would be pasta with venison and rabbit which sounded even better, Big disappointment as it tasted of neither and was at best Luke warm. Di=d not make a fuss as was guest of person I was dining with despite me making the booking!
