After trying this coveted place, I have come to conclusion that I actually like Americanized Italian food better? Dont get me wrong, the food here was amazing, authentic, flavorful, well-prepared, etc, but when I fantasize about Italian food (often) it's lasagna, pizza, nochi, pasta, calzone of 2. The staff at Lucia was legit, knew their stuff and make great recommendations... More

My husband and I like a good restaurant experience that is multi-faceted, unpretentious, provides a sense of adventure, and delivers the goods with imaginative, flawlessly executed cuisine. We went recently with good friends to this trendy spot on the south side of the Trinity River, in an area that is gradually becoming regentrified and is enjoying a resurgence in popularity.... More

We were visiting from NYC and we heard this is the place to dine in Dallas now...... If you can make it through the not-so-friendly reservation process.

It is on our calendar reminder permanently! Lucia is an experience to... More

Seasonal, regional, Italian dishes that are better than any Italian food in Dallas. The menu changes often, so just enjoy every bite because you might not see it again. Favorites... the salumi misti, the nduja with scrambled eggs on crostini, crispy pork belly, chicken liver crostini,and really, every single pasta dish on the menu is amazing. Most recently had the... More
