Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews

Lucia in Toronto offers "the best Italian in the city" with fresh, delicious dishes and a cozy, intimate atmosphere. Enjoy excellent service, especially from attentive staff like Devin and Jasmine. While the patio is perfect for a summer evening, some find the indoor noise level high. Don't miss the desserts!

Such a lovely experience, we went with our two young kids (3 & 1.5). They were so accommodating with the menu and the service was amazing!

Delicious food. The appetizer focaccia which accompanied the bufala mozzerella and prosciutto was a mini loaf and really special. Pasta special had mascarpone cheese and butter sauce - delicious. Special dessert of key lime was exceptional. Nice, cozy, local bistro.

We found the resturant very noisy, either side of us mainly. My main course was tasty but rather tough. (Lamb) My husband's snail were just ok

Our party of 6 arrived at 6:30 and asked to leave at 8:30 for another seating. Good server and lively atmosphere but many reminders of our 2 hour timeslot making the whole experience feeling rushed and frankly, unpleasant. The food was substandard at best and the server said they could not do separate bills for our group. Overall very disappointing especially for our dear friends who were visiting from out of town.
