Lucia is the work of the same people behind Parkdale’s much-loved Local. It’s located in the Junction Triangle, one of our favourite Toronto neighbourhoods.
This charming little spot, seats no more than 30 people. It has the elegant yet casual atmosphere often found throughout Europe. The welcoming vibe matches the character of the neighbourhood perfectly. The food is authentically Italian, where simplicity allows natural flavours to shine through. The menu is short and sweet, allowing the kitchen to focus lovingly on each dish.
They offer a three-course $25 prix fixe lunch on weekdays. The dishes come out a bit smaller than when ordered individually, making for a satisfying meal that doesn’t leave one feeling sluggish.
The charming setting is perfect for a smart-casual meal with loved ones, friends or business associates.
Fresh-Pulled Mozzarella
With grilled focaccia and basil oil. Soft as a cloud, this mozzarella arrives drizzled within olive oil delicately infused with basil. A sprinkle of fleur de sel on top.
Fazzoletti Di Mortadella
With pistachio and black pepper pesto. This "handkerchief" pasta is stuffed with a mind-blowing, delicate tasting mortadella. The combination with the sauce is unique and outrageously good.
Nutella Tiramisu
This light and richly flavoured dessert made for a perfect ending to our meal. The creamy texture is worth taking a moment to luxuriate over. It felt like a sophisticated way to enjoy the childhood flavours of Nutella, the sweetness of which is balanced by ladyfingers infused with rich chocolate. It arrived topped with a sprinkling of nuts, for good measure.
