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.

                                                The food was amazing, we got the asparagus starter to share, the ragu, the chicken lasagna and then the tiramisu for dessert. Every part was delicious and would recommend each one. When we come again we want to try the pork dish but with the time we had it would’ve taken too long but we will order ahead next time. 5/5 highly recommend.
