THE VERDICT

Situated at the foot of Eastern Road in South Melbourne, Lucia is a quaint Mediterranean restaurant and wine bar exuding Renaissance charm. From the team behind Riserva, Baia Di Vino and San Lorenzo, this neighbourhood gem promises the same warm hospitality and authentic food.  

With Head Ched Jordan Clavaron (Society, Cutler & Co), son of a Michelin star chef, crafting the menu from his travels in France, Italy and Spain, the dishes are elegant yet unpretentious. 

Anticipated crowd favourites include the Fremantle octopus skewer complemented with red pepper sauce and the Riserva menu highlight—beetroot ravioli. The experience is elevated by a novel-like wine menu boasting over 400 bottles and its sleek interior comprising floor-to-ceiling windows, banquette seating and mood lighting, making for an intimate ambience.
