Lucia

Updated: Feb 25, 2020

Lucia is the work of the same people behind Parkdale's much loved Local. Located in our favourite Toronto neighbourhood, The Junction, this space has struggled to find a business that could thrive, having had been a restaurant and cheese shop before the current incarnation.


This is a charming little spot, seating no more than 30 people. It has the quintessentially elegant, yet casual atmosphere commonly found throughout Europe. The cuisine is authentically Italian, where simplicity allows natural flavours to shine through. Keeping with the theme of simplicity, the menu is short and sweet, allowing the kitchen to focus lovingly on each dish.


On weekdays they offer a three-course $25 prix fixe lunch. The dishes come out a bit smaller than when ordered individually, making for a satisfying meal that doesn't leave one feeling sluggish.


Mozzarella
Fresh-Pulled Mozzarella, Grilled Focaccia, Basil Oil: Soft as a cloud, this mozzarella arrives drizzled within olive oil delicately infused with basil. A sprinkled of fleur de sel sits on top.
Pasta with Mortadella with Pistachio Sauce
Fazzoletti Di Mortadella, Pistachio & Black Pepper Pesto: This "handkerchief" pasta is stuffed with the incredible delicate tasting mortadella and paired with a rich and peppery pistachio sauce. The combination is unique and outrageously good.
Nutella Tiramisu
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 coffee. Topped with a sprinkling of nuts, for good measure.
