We went there last night as my brother had gifted us the groupon for my birthday. This is truly a hidden gem and I highly recommend. You could order 4 courses anything off the menu included in the groupon (I had the filet mignon and it was cooked to perfection!) also, all of their desserts are made in-house. Our waiter and the others who helped made our stay memorable - his name was Lucil I believe. The service was impeccable, thank you!
The service and food is fantastic. Celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary and the evening was perfect.
Good service good food - that's all I ask & that's what I got - will return after a few months... the drive was long, that was the only con :) everything else was a pro - including the free parking after 6pm...didn't hurt that we got a parking spot just steps outside the restaurant!
Absolutely amazing dinner at Luci with my family! The food and service were among the best I've ever had, and the ambience was absolutely beautiful! This was our first time dining at Luci, and it will definitely not be our last. Thank you for a wonderful experience!
Amazing food and exceptional service. Would highly recommend.
Fourth time at this restaurant, great food and excellent customer service!! Will be back!
Hands down, our favourite restaurant! Food always amazing..service amazing..ambience amazing too! Of course! We are headed there this weekend for a special dinner, looking forward to it. Cesar salad and creme brulee are THE best!!
By far one of the best restaurants in the GTA. Love everything about this place.
Excellent service and great food. Our waiter and Fernando treated us like we were family. Our first time here tonight and it won't be the last. Highly recommended.
Very friendly staff and tasty food! We got their groupon as present from friends and will definetly recomend this nice place and be back.
Awesome meal. Great service from waitress France. Will definitely be going back.
I have been to Luci restaurant many times the food and service has always been excellent. They have a great team and the consistency of the food and service is fantastic.
Great food and excellent service and price is great
Evening dinner
Amazing service, excellent food and a great small cozy and romantic spot. 10/10 would recommend to anyone.
As you entered the place you are welcome by the delightful decor.
The menu offers a wide variety of mouth-watering items.
I had the Ceasar salad which was excellent, the lettuce was fresh and the bacon was also made fresh, my wife had the Insalata Rucola E Bietola which also looked fresh.
Both of our main courses were very good, I had the veal chop (bit salty) but still very good.
The wine selection is certainly sufficient and very reasonably priced.
Overall very pleasant evening. Highly recommended.
Service was exceptional from taking our coats on arrival until the end.
We come across a gem ... If you are looking for great food this is the place to go ...Small but great atmosphere great service ... We will definitely be going back ...
Delicious Italian food. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Came here because of groupon deal. The service was a bit slow but overall good experience. Will I come here again without a groupon? May be...
Great meal and evening. I had the salad, calamari and antipasti board to start. The grilled calamari was especially nice. For the main, I had the mushroom risotto with veal cheeks. Amazing. Make sure to get extra Parmesan on top! Will definitely return.
Enjoyable outing for New Years eve. I took my girlfriend out to this location for New Years because we have tried it with a group on before and it was a great experience. This occasion was no exception to that, if anything better. We planned ahead and booked reservations for 5pm (when they open) on New Years eve. They had a very nice special which my girlfriend took and I chose to start with the Mista salad and then have the Tagliata which was the 12oz triple AAA steak. Both our meals were amazing, and my girlfriend still raves about it. Cooked to perfection, there wasn't any real complaints at all with the meal. My steak was done to my liking, basically falling off the bone with tenderness and the sauce was delicious. And of course the waiters were very inviting and personable, offering to help us with our coats and making regular check ups to make sure everything met our standards.
Fair warning though: If you are looking for a quick bite, this place is definitely not for you. This restaurant is a primary spot for having a nice outing with loved ones that you can spend time talking and then later just enjoy the meal and not just enhale it down. Take your time, enjoy the company of your friends and family, and enjoy the ambiance. Also, not a cheap place in terms of prices either. A place meant for special occasions or a really fancy date night. I'd go any chance I can take.
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful dinner at Luci a few weeks ago and I just wanted to say thank you for the experience! The service was beyond perfect! I can't even describe how welcoming and attentive our server was. The appetizers, entrees and desserts were very well timed. The food was extremely delicious. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal and we will be coming back for more. I was initially worried because of other reviews complaining about the horrible timing between courses, however, we did not experience this. I hope others read this and feel encouraged to dine here as it is truly a gem!
Just got back from the most lovely evening at luci. It was our first time and we were treated like VIP from the moment we entered till the moment we left. The food was amazing-fresh and flavorful and delish. We will be frequent patrons of luci and their entire hospitable staff. Keep up the good work :)
A fantastic dinner with reasonable prices. Great quality food with a fine dining atmosphere. Owner was a gracious host and server very attentive .Very excited to find this new gem close to home and will be sure to visit again soon !
Great spot for a romantic birthday dinner. My partner got the fixed price menu (3 course meal for $25) and I went a la carte. He can be very picky with food and his meat was cooked perfectly. I am vegetarian and they were very accommodating. They also put a candle in my creme brûlée and sang me a happy birthday song. Highly recommend this spot to anyone!!
Love Luci!. My husband took me here for my birthday and what a special dinner it was! So glad he made a reservation because the place was PACKED (went on a Saturday night, around 7:30pm).
I had the carrot soup to start and the gnocchi as the main. It was quite good, though a little rich for me. To be fair, I don't usually order cream-based pastas, so I probably shouldn't have ordered it. My husband on the other hand got the Gnocchetti Sardi with smoked chicken, roasted peppers, caramelized onions... WOW it was fabulous! I probably "sampled" half of his plate because it was so good! Although I'm a huge pasta fan, it isn't often that a pasta dish will knock my socks off like that. We both shared the chocolate truffle cake which was very yummy too.
Because it was so busy, the service was a little slow, however the waitress did come over a couple times to apologize and we both received complimentary glasses of wine because our meals were taking a long time to arrive. Neither of us complained or asked for it, but it was very nice of them to take care of us like that.
Judging by how busy it was, I'm assuming that word has spread about this restaurant. I'm glad, and hope it stays on the Queensway.
Love. I just came back from dinner at Luci's with some friends. One word...WOW!
Beautiful atmosphere, welcoming staff, wonderful food and delicious desserts.
I had the ceasar salad for my appetizer, I found it strange to have extra dressing on the side but I actually like the idea! Most places either put too much dressing, some places not enough so having extra dressing definitely gives you the option for more if wanted (even though it was perfect the way it was).
I had the pollo arrosto for my meal, which was perfectly cooked and juicy in every bite.
I was so full after my meal because I nearly licked my plate it was so good but I couldn't leave without trying the dessert. I mean it must be amazing since everything else was so perfect!
To no dissappointment, the dessert topped off a wonderful meal. I ended the night with a coffee and a creme brulee!
I will definitely be back to Luci! I'm sure the staff there will call me a regular soon enough :)
Oh my goodness. I have never written a review before. In fact, I just created an Urban Spoon account entirely on the back of the meal I just had at Luci's. I am a self-professed foodie and the meal I just experienced was incredible in every detail. Myself and my dinner companion between us enjoyed the soup of the day, beef carpaccio, gnocchi in braised chicken, chicken Piccata, chocolate truffle cake and white chocolate cheesecake. We both tasted each of the dishes we ordered and while I wasn't crazy about the beet soup, my friend who ordered it really enjoyed it. And that is the only place I can say I wasn't entirely enthusiastic, and as someone who really likes good food, I can be notoriously hard to impress. The carpaccio was melt in my mouth tender and I could actually taste the truffle oil. There are places that list truffle oil or truffle foam etc. on the menu and then don't really deliver. That was NOT the case here. The flavours all balanced perfectly and just really brought out how well the dish was executed. The Gnocci was clearly freshly made with none of the doughiness that is sometimes encountered in Gnocci that has been commercially prepared. The braised chicken sauce was unbelievable and infused the soft Gnocci with an incredibly rich flavor. My friend's chicken was juicy, not dry as can sometimes be a danger with really delicate cuts of chicken. The dessert was of course unparalleled, creamy but not sickeningly so; I was able to taste the white chocolate flavour in the cheesecake and the consistency was light enough that the mouth feel did not overpower the flavour. The chocolate cake was served with a uniquely full-bodied whipped cream. Even the decaf coffee was out of this world and freshly brewed and I can tell you that coffee is not usually the thing I notice at a meal. Beyond the sheer perfection of the food itself, the ambience was comfortable and the space felt really warm. But nothing compared with the service and hospitality of our host, Fernando. An incredible, unforgettable evening. Worth creating an Urbanspoon account for. I would reccomend this place to anyone for any occasion.
Luci Restaurant. Beautiful decoration, great people. The Crab Cakes, the pastas, the Deserts..... everything is so good.
Luci Restaurant. Great food, wonderful people, a evening to remember.
Amazing Value! Mouth Watering Food!. If you are looking for a restaurant to host your next party, or to simply get out and have an enjoyably delicious meal with a loved one or friend, this is it! Loved the quaint ambiance and modern flair that this restaurant has to offer. The food is home-cooking at its best! My girlfriend wants to go back already!
We had an amazing meal from a deal on Groupon and was very impressed with the service and the food. Everything was top notch. I had one gripe and that was it seemed to be almost impossible to get anyone on the phone when we would call for a reservation. Now I still think it's five stars because of everything else but still irritating to be playing phone tag. Don't hold it against Luci though because everything else was flawless!
Came here for a Groupon I purchased. I tried calling 10 times in the week to try to make reservations, but no one would pick up. Upon arrival the I suppose manager informed me to have left a message, fair I suppose they turn off the ring on their phone to keep the restaurant quiet.
The service was great, our server was very polite and knew the dishes very well and answered all questions, as well as keeping tabs on us
There was sooo much food. With the Groupon for 4 we got 3 salads 1 soup, 2 antipasti, 4 filling entrees, and barely had enough room for dessert, the complimentary bread was delicious as well as the olive spread it came with. The food was cooked well, and everything was delicious.
It kind of sucks for the location they have, I’ve traveled to Queensway many times but have never seen this place. But it’s definitely worth the Groupon.
Absolutely loved everything here. Started with a caesar salad (not pictured) which was good. The plate was warm, wilting the romaine a little, but the flavour was good. Croutons and real bacon were a plus!
Next we had calamari, which was half fried and half grilled. Loved tasting both, next time i would do all fried. It was exceptional, not at all chewy, fried to perfection - golden color. The grilled was a bit more chewy, but still very good.
Our mains were linguine pescatore- which she loved. Mine was grilled shrimp, also loved. Presentation was great, and tasted just as good as it looked. The star was dessert. Mine was pavlova, hers cheese cake. The pavliva melted in my mouth, the cheesecake was creamy and full of flavor.
I will be going back, soon!!
Excellent service and good food. The servers were very accommodating and the food was perfect! Great place for date night.
I chose Luci for a special dinner (this was before covid!) with a friend after getting great reviews from my family members. Although the menu has quite pricey items, the staff were very friendly, warm and caring. They kept coming by to ask if everything is good. The ambiance of the restaurant is very relaxing and it is the perfect place for a special occasion or a romantic night out.
I ordered shrimp as my main course as recommended by the waiter. It was tasty and cooked to perfection. My favorite dish was dessert which was a white chocolate cheesecake.
When making my reservation I had mentioned the occasion and to my surprise, the waiter came forward with a candle on the cheesecake (which I was not expecting). Bonus points to the restaurant for that simple gesture.
I found parking quite a hassle but I would come back to Luci nevertheless as I loved everything from the ambiance to the food quality to the service.
Amazing meal at Lucis!! The service was impeccable and every course was amazing. I recommend the steak which was cooked to perfection and the Creme Brule was sublime. The staff were very friendly and I would definitely come back again. Thank you for an amazing evening!!
The service was amazing! The food was just marvellous. Would recommend this place to everyone. But i really want to point out that the service in this place is out of this world! Never been treated so well in a restaurant.
