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

    As always. An exceptional experience. Food is simply amazing and as near to authentic Italian as you would get outside of Italy. Top drawer cooking and first rate service. We couldn’t recommend Lucio highly enough. Trust me. Try the burrata, the suckling pig and the tiramisu. If you don’t. You missed out.

    A friendly welcome set us up for a good start. The menu is fabulous lots of small plates we had 3 between 2 of us absolutely delicious. Then we had pasta my pumpkin filled pasta was the star of the show! We didn’t order a main course as we wanted desert but the mains on the other tables looked fabulous. Sicilian wine was great served by the glass and a port to finish. Great staff and lovely place.

    Very good food. My tomato starter was rather bland (needed a dressing - maybe a balsamic glaze or just a vinaigrette dressing?) but the rest of the meal was very good. The pork belly was excellent. Crackling was so tasty. Tiramisu lovely and the mango sorbet delightful.

    I brought my 91 year old mother for dinner here and everything was very accessible for her from the front door of the hotel to the restaurant. From the moment we arrived we were treated really well by all staff, the greeting we received at the restaurant was so friendly and all staff were exceptionally welcoming. The food was amazing, we both had the beer battered fish with chips and it was the nicest we've had to date. Desert was amazing and we left for our trip to the theatre full to the brim. The prices are very reasonable but if I was to have one criticism it would be for the condition of the table. There was several deep scratches on the surface which took from the beautiful decor of the restaurant, condition of the table definitely was not 4 star. Other than that one little hitch everything else was perfect and I would definitely recommend it to everyone.

    staff were very pleasant & kind to our clildren. Felt service could have been a bit faster at the end as they were aware we were attending a show in Bord Gais. we were a party of 5 and had an excellent experience. Food and drink were top notch. Setting is nice. Thank you Anantara.
