Unique Spin on the Italian Classic at Lucia Ristorante

Italian cooking is among the world's richest and most varied, with dishes from pasta, pizza, tossed salad, wine and much more that are perfect for every occasion. For Italian food lovers, you have to try a unique spin on the Italian classic at Lucia Ristorante.

I've tried Lucia's cuisine three times already. Although the way they present their Italian cuisine is quite simple, I like that they use quality ingredients, as evident in its delizioso menu.

Last week, as we spent family staycation at Hotel Celeste, we've tasted one of the best Italian food there is in the Metro.

Lucia Ristorante is run by new management (Cravings Group of Co.). With a vibrant new menu, Lucia is a must visit for the whole family.

Executive Lunch Menu:

Insalata Mista is great way to start a meal.

Lolo roso, onion, tomatoes tossed with salt and pepper and their very own balsamic vinaigrette.

Seafood ravioli is a lasagne with squid and shrimp and herbs filling.

For the kids, Lasagne with ground beef pomodoro sauce, bechamel cream on top and mushroom cream sauce. Plus, Breaded chicken on the side with a special sauce house gravy by Chef Andrew.

Dessert is a mini cake platter composed of their bestseller from Cravings, namely Chocolate Caramel Cake, Dulce de Leche and Carrot cake.
