Lucia Dallas Reviews
Was walking around bishop arts and stopped by Lucia's.
The place looked pretty empty but we were told that the wait would be roughly an hour. We decided to walk around and received the text maybe 30 minutes later that our table was ready. Apparently there are reservations to sit at the bar, however a few

The service is top notch, they make you feel welcomed and are always taking care of you in a very discrete way without interrupting your conversations. Our server was amazing and knew and explained to us every single detail in their menu. The food i
The food was great.
Really like that they switch out phases of the meal/s. The oysters were beautiful. However, the service was far from good. For one, my partner and I felt like we were being rushed by a certain female server with short hair. We were going through prim
Service was okay.
Took about 45 mins for the next drink to come out after placing the order. The food was very.......interesting. Lots of things like blood sausage and liver. Also a very heavy use of fennel in dishes, if you're into black licorice ( I'm not)
Lucia's "Secondi" dishes are nothing to write home about
Lucia's "Secondi" dishes are nothing to write home about BUT their "Primi" pasta dishes are some of the best I've had in DFW. My friend and I ordered their Beef & Fish Secondi dishes and we both thought it was just
Agreeable 4/5 rating with the average reviews.
Great atmosphere and decor, bar seating is nice as you can watch the kitchen, standard parking in bishop arts district. Online reservations book insanely fast so you will have to monitor the site occasionally. Still a soso chance of walk ins but no
Service and food were both amazing.
Truly one of the best dinner experiences that you will have.
The tuna tartare was not good.
It was an olivey/mayonnaise-y thing obscuring the tuna. Worst prep I think I've ever had tbh. Ravioli were very good. Gnocchi, though not entirely unpleasant, was heavy and the pancetta was kind of chewy. Steak was nice. Dessert will remain

We have been wanting to dine here for a bit and finally were able to for a birthday celebration. We were greeted with a cheery "Hello" and even a "Happy Birthday" from most of the staff. Our waiter, John Michael was incredible wit

AMAZING italian food!! Pistachio pesto was to die for! And mortadella was the best I've had!
Overrated and lots of pressure re: the upsell
We celebrated our adult daughter's birthday and were disappointed with Lucia. Most of the issue seemed to be our server who seemed to cop an immediate attitude and seemed only interested in upselling us. We had no frame of reference as to the

This restaurant has a unique practice, where the menu changes often and therefore you are not privy to the menu beforehand. Which has its ups and down. For instance I am pescatarian and I am allergic to avocados. Upon telling the waitress, she took t
We love to get Lucia's Sunday or weekend meals .
They are great for a small dinner party.

As always, when people ask me what my favorite dish is from there, I tell them "all of them" because the menu changes so often I won't be offered the same item more than once. I love the romantic vintage look inside the restaurant. The fact
I thought the food was okay.
Overrated but wonderfullll customer service and great vibes
Perhaps a perfect restaurant.
Combines thoughtfully considered recipes for food and drink, prepared expertly but still with the best kind of freshness and simplicity, which are then presented by a team that seems to sense who you are and why you're there. Yeah, this is a really
Took a long time to get a reservation here.
The service was good ! The people are so nice . Flow of service went smoothly . The bread and tartare were our personal favorites!

The menu has a short selection of antipasto, primi and second. However, everything we tasted during our first visit was excellent. The service is also superb. Cocktails menu is limited, but wine list is available.

I'm all for trying new things but when the menu is absolute gibberish and they act annoyed when you ask for clarification on what your getting it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.
My wife and I were lucky enough to have dinner at Lucia
My wife and I were lucky enough to have dinner at Lucia last night and we absolutely loved the food and experience. The seating is cozy and the design and decor brings you into an Italian grandmothers kitchen. Our server was knowledgeable and extreme
We have frequented Lucia for the past 5 years.
Their service is always top-notch and the most pleasant experience! We love the cozy, warm atmosphere and their attention to detail. Whether sitting inside, at the bar, or on the patio, their staff always provides stellar service. We adore their hou

Delicious food, and a calming ambiance this place is a gem! Highly recommend to anyone looking for an Italian meal, foodies paradise.
My husband and I did not like Lucia at all.
We could not eat the food and we tried our very best. May be we were just in over our heads because this was way fancier than the Italian restaurants we typically go to (monarch being one of our faves) but we'd never had the combinations they put tog
Okay I was honestly so disappointed in Lucia.
Maybe I just went on a bad night? I'm not sure. The menu was honestly not very inspiring. Our group didn't feel like the dishes were unique or had complex flavor profiles. There was a lot of repetition of similar flavors. The textures of many dis

I've now been here several times since writing my last review and must say, this is the place to go for Italian food if you're in Bishop arts. If you happen to be solo or maybe with a +1 you can walk up and ask if they may have room for you at the

Def did not live up to the hype, the service pushed it from a 2 to a 3. Cocktails were good to great, and were actually the highlight of the night, the food was very meh and I say this independent of the buzz this place gets. The vibe really matche
The food was great.
However, the hostess lied to us about needing our spots so, once I found out that our seats were not filled after we left, that left a bad taste - figuratively and literally. Don't care to go back to be around a liar(s). Dallas has plenty of nice

Was told they accommodate vegetarians, just for the only non-bread/salad option to be butter noodles. Either don't say you accommodate vegetarians or have actual options.

Lucia was an absolutely flawless experience from start to finish. Every item -- from the cocktails to dessert! -- was thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. Our server, Audrey, was amazing and had the best recommendations. She suggested it

I wanted to love this place but left incredibly disappointed. We went on a Thursday night and found parking behind the restaurant. Score. We ordered a lot of items to try and planned on taking some home to my husband. The sourdough and butter were de

I had been hearing about Lucia for a long time and finally made a reservation to go! Definitely worth the hype, given the amazing pasta choices .
Worth the wait to get a reservation.

Great meal.
Good service. Ok patio. Generally speaking, if it's great, it's appropriate. I hate this application. We have to tell it was bullshit to get it through.
Incredible from start to finish.
From the food to the ultra-charming Bishop Arts District where Lucia is located, I loved everything about my experience here and can't wait to go back.
HANDS DOWN my favorite restaurant in Dallas.
Liz and her team truly understand how to run a dinner service. Everyone is so attentive and the service feels truly personal. Plus, the food is authentic and delicious.
Certain places have reputations.
Sometimes they even live up to those reputations. This, happily, was one of those times.The Salumi board was just heavenly. Yes, its a lot for one of four courses for two people, but they do have to go boxes. Absolutely worth it. Fantastic flav
Classy and delicious with a cozy feel.
The staff are friendly and caring. You must book ahead of time to get a spot. Superb drinks. Oh and the Italian food is to die for!!
Exceptional experience, very impressed and will return.
Staff and owner pay careful attention to the clientele. Well done.

Delicious! I waited months to get a reservation and it was worth it. My now fiancé purposed to me the night we went. After being stuck in traffic for 90 minutes the hostess and server were so good to us. They helped us celebrate our engagement and w
Great experience
Great ambiance, good food, and definitely good service. Will go back again for sure. It is a must go to restaurant, highly recommend it. Cleanliness and food presentation with a proper temperature.
Never had better service.
Food top notch too but I'll let you in on a little secret:It is extraordinarily difficult to get a reservation at Lucia. However, if you're willing to put your name on to be a walk~up... And/or eat at the bar. You will likely be sat in under 30 minut
Connect with users posting reservations for Lucia Dallas
AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Lucia Dallas. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Lucia Dallas at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Lucia Dallas page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* FluffyStar64, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's bid.
* FluffyStar64 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to FluffyStar64 for any questions Peter may have as FluffyStar64 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* FluffyStar64 now uses their connections at Lucia Dallas to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If FluffyStar64 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, FluffyStar64 receives the $200 reward which is credited to FluffyStar64's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Lucia Dallas!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
