At Osteria Lucio they unite their love of Irish and Italian food with the very best of produce, from both countries.

    Easy to make a reservation, right in the heart of Temple Bar, perfect for date nights. Just wave to wait outside till they come get you, then you’re shuffled off to particular floor and table. From there the magic begins, fancy drinks very typical to generational period. Food is off the chains good!! We started with cheese and meat boards, old fashioned and some other frothy drink similar to a pornstar martini… server was so great, kind and attentive. Bar tender served drinks like a maestro… cants wait to go back again!

    Our dinner was a joy from beginning to end. The food and wine were sensational but what you can’t get elsewhere is the atmosphere. I put this down to an exceptional staff led by the charismatic and intuitive Zelda. Wow she MAKES the place- loved by all, she is a total pro. Thrilled with the return of this Dublin institution.

    We had the shoulder of pork as our main course which is the house speciality which was really special a lovely dish served with potatoes, salad and apple sauce. The desert of canoli was superb. We left very happy and off to the bord gais theatre. We will be back and would highly recommend this restaurant.

    I went for brunch with 2 of my friends and we all really enjoyed it. It was a bank holiday Monday so it was quite busy which meant at times, service was a little slow and it was hard to get a waiter's attention (but nothing major!) The food was really good, would definitely recommend the pancakes with seasonal fruit. I think it is good value for money too, we were all comfortably full by the time we left. Bonus: it is dog friendly!
