Osteria Lucio in Dublin

Osteria Lucio never disappoints — it’s always the best choice for any occasion. We stopped by in a rush last week before the theatre, and the manager, Paulo, accommodated us so warmly and efficiently. He even expedited our food to ensure we wouldn’t miss the show. The food was absolutely AMAZING, as always, paired with excellent wine and cocktails. I truly love every visit here and can’t wait to come back. Special thanks to Paulo for going above and beyond to make our evening unforgettable. Already looking forward to our next visit!

Great food, nice staff, cozy restaurant

Magical place, high-quality cuisine, 5-star service, I want to make special mention of Renato who served us in an incredible way, but that does not detract from all the people who are part of the team, the person who greeted us at the door was of attention and professionalism worth mentioning, all the people on the room team with a smile all the time. Thank you for making my anniversary night unforgettable, both my girl and I, we will return on our next visit to the city

Food is excellent . Pasta is hand made and you can taste it. Portion size is on the small side however and the price is very high. For a main pasta dish you are going to pay €26 and probably feel like you would eat more when it’s finished. The desserts are out of this world. Tiramisu and Choc mousse both would be 10/10. Overall I really enjoyed the meal but just the price and also portion size would mean I wouldn’t be rushing back.

Absolutely fabulous. Best veal saltimbuco and carpaccio I’ve ever had. Mushroom gnocchi delicious. Tirmusu is FABULOUS. wait staff impeccable. Make a reservation!

⸻ 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.

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.

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!
