We chose Lucia to celebrate our anniversary, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. The restaurant has such a lovely atmosphere — cozy, elegant, and perfect for a romantic evening. Every course was delicious, from the appetizers to dessert. The pasta tasted fresh and authentic, the flavors were beautifully balanced, and you could tell everything was made with passion. The staff were kind, attentive, and made sure our night felt special from start to finish. Highly recommended😍
Went for my birthday with family after a recommendation and my god, it did not disappoint! Everything about the experience from the minute we walked in was second to none. The food was out of this world, the cocktails were to die for and the service from everyone but especially Rhianna was exceptional. Really made my birthday special and the personal effort from her didn't go unnoticed. Will definitely return when next in York for sure. Thankyou to everyone there!

An absolute gem of a restaurant! Fantastic location, plenty of seating and a great atmosphere. Food is fab and a great menu to chose from and there is something for everyone! The skewers are so tasty, the tiramisu is to die for and the range and choice of drinks complement each and every dish. Well worth booking so don’t arrive and be disappointed! Staff are super tentative and friendly and made our meal special. Thanks and already looking forward to coming back again soon!
Amazing food, wine and service! We had such a fabulous meal here. We shared the mussels to start, there wasn’t enough bread but we were brought more for no extra charge which was nice. The duck was amazing!! I’d definitely recommend this dish. The wine was lovely! I usually hate Chardonnay but the server recommended it and gave me a taster and I was really pleasantly surprised! It was lovely, crisp and dry! We also received a free birthday ice cream and candle which was a nice touch - thank you!
