Osteria Lucio in Dublin

⸻ I had high expectations for Osteria Lucio, but unfortunately, the pasta was a big letdown. It’s far from authentic Italian, lacking flavor, and nowhere near what you’d expect from a place that claims to bring real Italian cuisine to Dublin. Given that they’re listed in the Michelin Guide, I find it quite questionable. On top of that, the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. It genuinely felt like they turned off the heating to encourage us to leave, as we were among the last four tables there. Not exactly the warm and welcoming atmosphere you’d hope for. That being said, the cocktails were well-made and enjoyable, so if you’re just stopping by for drinks, it might be worth a visit. But if you’re looking for real Italian food and a comfortable dining experience, there are far better options in Dublin.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food. You could tell each individual ingredient was high quality and together created amazing dishes. The fresh made pasta was light and rich without sacrificing taste.

Really nice and cozy restaurant. The burrata was excellent, along with the focaccia bread. The same goes for the carpaccio—the starters were a delight. Moving on to the sausage lasagna, it was tasty and well-balanced. The crab tagliatelle, however, was average. As for dessert, the tiramisu was disappointing—too much cream and an excessive amount of cocoa powder on top. The service was attentive, perhaps too much so. We weren’t given the option to choose between tap water and bottled water (which cost €6). On top of that, the waiter kept refilling our glasses every five minutes.

Fantastic food in a great setting. The staff are superb very friendly and helpful

Gorgeous food and cocktails. Service was impeccable.

Qué gran restaurante para encontrar aquí en Dublín. Tiene una excelente selección de platos italianos frescos, de temporada, sabrosos, ofrecidos a través de una serie de cursos. El servicio es excelente, con un montón de personal amable y bien informado para cuidar de usted. La carta de vinos ofrece una gama de vinos italianos. Explícale tus preferencias al sumiller y te recomendará el mejor vino para tu gusto. Ross el propietario está a mano para asegurarse de que tenga una agradable noche. El restaurante atiende a la multitud previa al espectáculo que visita el teatro local, sin embargo, visita después de las 7 : 30 pm para una experiencia gastronómica más relajada. Es un edificio peculiar, bastante sencillo desde el exterior pero con profundidad ya que ocupa uno de los arcos ferroviarios.

Super staff and atmosphere! Can recommend all that we ordered especially the suckling pig!! Thanks very much for a lovely time

Tuve el placer de cenar en Osteria Lucio de nuevo, y fue una experiencia absolutamente fantástica de principio a fin. El ambiente logra un equilibrio perfecto entre elegante y acogedor, por lo que es ideal para una noche relajada pero refinada. La comida era excepcional — cada plato fue preparado con cuidado. La pasta estaba perfectamente cocida, reventada de sabores ricos. Para empezar tuvimos, Burrata di Buffalo, Yellowtail crudo y compartimos la Selección de Salumi con Parmesano y, verdura encurtida. El punto culminante de la comida fue el ragu de res cocido lentamente, que se derritió en su boca deliciosa. El servicio fue igual de impresionante. El personal era atento y bien informado. Ofrecieron grandes recomendaciones y se aseguraron de que teníamos todo lo necesario sin ser intrusivo. Ya sea que esté buscando una cena romántica, una celebración o simplemente una increíble comida italiana, Osteria Lucio es una visita obligada. Sin duda volveré!

Very good atmosphere and decoration. We ordered three appetizers (there was no more focaccia), the flatbread with garlic and rosemary was very delicious, a burrata with a pepper and fennel base that was 10 points and two arancinis that were also very good. For the main course, some pumpkin ravioli, which 20 minutes later told us there were no more and we had to order the spinach ones, which were normal. And the other main thing was the lasagna which was also very delicious. For dessert, a fairly average tiramisu. Correct attention. We expected more from what we had heard. The quality/price/portions ratio is very good.

Beautiful food and wine, great ambience and lovely staff.
