Tucked just off Swinegate in central York, Lucia is a stylish Italian bar-restaurant and wine lounge that effortlessly doubles as a daytime patisserie and evening cocktail hotspot.
Recently transformed by an £800K refurbishment, the two-level venue features light, feminine décor downstairs with pastel tones and marble tabletops,
while the upstairs lounge offers a more intimate, mood-lit setting with darker wood and statement lighting.
By day, head to the patisserie for freshly made cannoli, pastries, and coffee, while from noon onwards enjoy a modern Italian menu of stone-baked pizzas, classic pastas, risottos, and seasonal mains.
The heated courtyard and private dining rooms add flexibility, and the venue welcomes children at lunchtime before 6 pm, with pet-friendly outdoor seating
