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.

The food was really nice, the ribeye beef burger was delicious. The food was fresh and hot when it came to the table. The staff were attentive, but there was a mix up in our order. We also felt that the waitress struggled with understanding our order. However when we explained the mix up it was dealt with efficiently.
