Lucia

Lucia is well worth the wait! It isn't easy to get a table at this South Dallas spot, but if you can swing a reservation, I won't divulge all my secrets on just how, you will not be sorry! The simple flavors and attention to detail are spectacular, to say the least. Small plates offer a taste of everything, and believe me, you will want to taste it all. There were four of us, and we each ordered an appetizer, a pasta course and a main dish, each were shared and sampled by all at the table. Thank heaven we were eating with friends! It would be TOO difficult to choose just one.


We started off with a platter of the house made salamis, the Lardo which just melted in your mouth is something to dream about!
