    Truly one of the best meals I've had in Dallas. This little place is a gem! The food is supreme, service is top notch. Surpassed all of my expectations. Book early, the wait can be a month or two!

    Homemade pasta & house cured meats are a match made in foodie heaven. Reservations are hard to come by; try walking up to 1 of the 4 bar seats. A special occasion place with special occasion prices.

    A table at Lucia is one of the toughest ressies in Dallas, not b/c they're saving space for snobby VIPs, but b/c David Uygur's homespun Italian resto only serves 16 tables/night. [Eater 38 Member]

    Real sweet couple that run this excellent restaurant and they certainly deserve that 5th star for all their hard work. Try the bass or the homemade pasta! Yes, gotta visit luciadallas.com – the place

    To skip the two-month wait list, go on a weeknight and request a seat at the bar or on the patio—they're seated on a first-come, first-served basis. The house-made salumi is not to be missed. Read more

    Best restaurant in Dallas. Amazing food, laid back bistro atmosphere and friendly owners. Foie gras stuffed prunes, salumi platter & chicken liver crostini my current favs.

    Best Italian food you can find in Dallas. Mrs. Uygur is a terrific help with the menu while Mr. Uygur works the kitchen and bar.
