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.

What a gem! I found this lovely Italian when booking somewhere for a friend and I to have a bite before a gig at the 3Arena. It is fantastic spot with delicious authentic Italian food and very fairly priced with a nice pre-theatre menu. However what sets it apart is the incredible service - every member of staff was so warm, helpful and attentive - that it really elevated a simple meal to a luxurious experience. I will definitely back for an occasion where I can linger over 3 course and a second glass of wine. The venue is cleverly designed and very intimate so would be a great date location.
