Set in the heart of York, just a few minutes from York Minster and The Shambles, private dining at Lucia York is a sophisticated Italian affair. This isn’t just any restaurant, Lucia comes with a lounge and cocktail bar with some seriously enviable interior design. Whether you’re planning a celebration with the girls, a hen do meal, or just a casual work dinner, Lucia can create a personalised experience including a private entrance, cocktail masterclasses, nibbles, and a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival.
The interiors are warm, elegant and inviting with pops of colour, plenty of foliage, neon lights, and some more traditional antique-style light fixtures. It’s a versatile space, also suitable for more formal business dinners. Each space is slightly different, whether you’re looking for a group bottomless brunch in the dining room, or an intimate evening in the first-floor lounge bar. The heated courtyard is another charming option, allowing guests to enjoy the ambience regardless of the freezing Yorkshire temperatures.
When it comes to the menu at Lucia York, you’re in great hands. It’s a testament to classic Italian cuisine, with starters including a classic tomato bruschetta and roast garlic mushrooms in a rich truffle sauce. Mains have included pulled beef shin and asparagus pea risotto served with parsnip crisps, aubergine parmesan tortellini with rocket and cherry tomatoes, and a salmon supreme with crushed baby potatoes and a dill sauce. Along with indulgent desserts, there’s also a range of pizzas and burgers, so you can rest easy knowing there's something for everyone.
