The food is the headline -Carbonara and Salted Caramel Cake was 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Bonnie modern looking restaurant with a lot to like. I think I prefer the food here to Gigi's. The lad at the door was about as welcoming as a hole in lifeboat but everyone else was excellent. I would recommend this place

We had a lovely meal at lucis this weekend. The service was excellent, and the pizza and pasta were both delicious. We had no room for desert, and our server spotted the pizza leftovers and boxed them up for us to take away. Very nice meal indeed!

Have seen the restaurant a few times and thought we would give it ago. I had pizza which was quite nice, but my wife had a gluten free carbonara . The first one was salty and the sauce like dishwater while the second one was a bit better but not a lot. She was still unable to eat it and left the restaurant hungry we won’t be back and you need to do more than just take the dish of the bill that was inedible. It’s a real shame!

Have to say I was very disappointed I went eat here with a friend the young man that seated us was very pleasant however the food was anything but average I had the mussels to start with on the menu it says it comes with focaccia however I was given my mussels and half way through already eating them was given a dry bit of brown bread … the main wasn’t much butter at £19 pound a bowl the crab pasta was a very small portion, it was bland with very little sauce i know for a fact it was picked crab out a tin and not fresh crab for the price this is very cheeky. The desert wasn’t much better I ordered the tiramisu but what I got wasn’t far away from whipped cream with chocolate powder on top. The only reason I ate what was in front of me was because I was hungry and I was paying a lot of money for it however I really wouldn’t recommend eating here at all quite frankly the pub over the road does better food than that. The one thing I will give credit for is the cocktails they were amazing, the young man serving us was very polite and pleasant and the inside decor is beautiful. Just a real shame about the food.

Had breakfast recently here for my birthday and for how small your portions are it’s very overpriced. My kids got a pancake stack which only consisted of two pancakes. It’s a shame as I don’t think we will be back for food. I have attended one of their boozy brunches which was very good!

Frankly we were made to feel as if we were an inconvenience to the serving staff and as the man serving us pointed out to the chef given that he would be annoyed because too many of us had ordered chicken so we should also expect a delay. The food was good. The service and rude attitude of the manager were appalling and ruined our night. At the end of the evening when we complained about the service we were told it was our own fault because we had not re-confirmed the booking. No apology, just complete resentment. This is the second time I have dined here. The first time was on Xmas eve and the service was even worse. despite being on time, we had to stand along a narrow corridor (with my 80 year old mother) for 30mins with staff squeezing past us with dirty dishes. Then we waited ages to be served and one hour between starter and main, ignored by staff, when I complained we were offered a small discount by a disgruntled but slightly apologetic woman. I will never go back. What a shame to spoil such a good place with dreadful service.

I put a comment on a post they put up about an offer they supposedly do, based on the fact that I have been there twice to take advantage of the offer and both times I was told it was not on. The last time I went, I asked the server, and the response I got was a sigh, then he rolled his eyes and said that it was head office posting the offer, but they were not doing it. I thought this was a family run business, so who is their head office. I was asked to contact them, and so I messaged them, they asked me to call them or they would call me, but I didn't want to give out my number and I shouldn't have to call them, I just wanted them to message me back. Anyway they just kept ignoring me after that, so I posted the messages on the original post, to which they deleted the post and blocked me from the site! Great customer service by their manager Kevin, not!!! It was him who asked me to contact them about my comment and then chose to ignore me!

What a disappointment! A group of us booked for lunch and preordered our meal. Several of us had been before and had a lovely meal so I'm hoping this experience on Friday was just a glitch but it was not good. The much vaunted carbonara was dense and hard to chew and lacked the promised confit egg yolk. The pizzas were OK but quite dry and burnt at edges. However our biggest disappointment was the terrible service! The staff delivered our food and then no one came to ask if we were OK (we werent) or to see if we needed anything. The waiting staff were gathered chatting in the bar or kitchen and did not return for ages. They removed our plates without a word or smile and dumped the dessert menus in front of us. Needless to say we didn't have dessert. As a group who often lunch together we would normally leave a generous tip. We didn't tip on this occasion.

Along the busy winding High Street in Lasswade, Luci’s Italian Restaurant & Cocktail Bar seamlessly blends gastronomic delights with scenic charm. As you step inside, you’ll be greeted by an inviting atmosphere that seamlessly blends rustic charm with modern elegance. The cosy interior, adorned with tasteful decor, sets the stage for a memorable meal. Luci’s pride themselves on quality ingredients. Sourcing the freshest ingredients, ensuring an authentic taste in every bite is extremely important to them. Luci’s menu is a celebration of Italian cuisine, featuring classic dishes prepared with love and attention to detail. The crispy fried calamari was perfectly cooked in a light batter and fried to perfection. The texture was tender yet slightly chewy, with a satisfying crunch. The sea-saltiness of the calamari paired beautifully with the tangy Amalfi lemon and chive aioli. When you dipped the calamari into this aioli, there was a harmonious blend of citrus, creaminess, and savoury goodness. This dish offered a delightful balance of textures and flavours—crispy, zesty, and herb-infused. It’s a taste of the Mediterranean with a Scottish twist! The delicate, paper-thin slices of Prosciutto di Parma were velvety, salty, and slightly nutty, with a melt-in-your-mouth texture. The richness of the prosciutto pairs beautifully with the other components of the aged balsamic and the gnocci fritti (puffed up fried gnocci). The Stracchino Cheese was creamy, mild, and slightly tangy but so complementary to the prosciutto. This dish offers a harmonious blend of textures and flavours—savoury, sweet, and herbaceous. It’s a celebration of Italian simplicity and quality ingredients! Burrata salad (£7) - Salad of fresh baby tomatoes, burrata cheese, rocket & aged balsamic. A delightfully Summery salad. The half burrata was soft, creamy and starting to ooze out over the rocket. The baby tomatoes were bursting with sweetness and the peppery and slightly bitter rocket balanced the creaminess of the burrrata. Chicken Parmigiana (£18) - Tenderised chicken breast coated in Grana Padano and breadcrumbs then fried in butter and lemon, warm burrata cheese fresh Pachino tomato sauce & fresh basil. The chicken breast was juicy and succulent, and the coating of Grana Padano and breadcrumbs added a crispy, savoury layer. You could taste the richness of the butter and the zestiness of the lemon whilst another burrata ball oozed out its mild, milky, luxurious centre over the chicken and pasta. This Chicken Parmigiana was a harmonious blend of textures and flavours—crunchy, cheesy, and comforting. Beef short rib Pasta (£18) - Handmade egg paradelle, Slow braised short rib, San Marzano tomato & red wine ragu. The wide, ribbon-like pasta was tender, slightly chewy, and absorbed the rich sauce beautifully. The slow-braised short rib was fall-apart tender, having simmered for hours, and you could taste the savoury essence of red wine and sweet, tangy San Marzano tomatoes. The ragu enveloped the pasta, creating a luscious coating. This dish is comforting, hearty, and utterly satisfying! My dining experience at Luci’s was thoroughly enjoyable. Despite the busy service, the well-arranged tables allowed for comfortable conversation. The staff, warm and friendly, added to the overall positive atmosphere. Whether you’re seeking a romantic dinner, a lively evening with friends, or simply a place to unwind, Luci’s awaits with open arms and a menu that celebrates the best of Italian and Scottish hospitality.

Was so excited to go to Lucis. We dont eat out a lot but the last time we ate here it was outstanding. The menu has reduced dramatically with less choice. Husband got the papardelli beef which he loved. I ordered carbonara. Struggled to find the ham I have to say and was dry and dull. I felt like I was eating two day old udon noodle, pasta was so thick. No sauce. Could have made better with my eyes shut at home. Wont hurry back. Wine was warm. Service was ok.

We have lived relatively near to Luci’s for years but never got round to paying them a visit until a recent birthday lunch. We are so glad we did. We were looked after well from the moment we arrived, particularly by Drai our waiter, who was very helpful and his menu recommendations. We’re spot on! The menu, all rustic Italian and seasonal, was fantastic and we tried enough between two of us that we had to take some away in boxes. We look forward to going back again later in the year to see how the seasonal menu evolves.

Have visited this restaurant several times, and keep hoping that it will get better. It really doesn't. The setting is great, the staff were polite and reasonably quick. But the food really is a hit or a miss. When presented with an A La Carte menu, the expectation is for top class food. It's not that, by a long way. The starters were ok, calamari, ravioli and arancini. Pizzas were ok too. But, the Spicy sausage pasta was undercooked, wasn't spicy, and the sausage was tough, tasteless and bitty. I couldn't finish it. The carbonara arrived with the egg yolk on top all ready to be mixed through the dish... it was rock solid. The pasta was tough and tasted undercooked and tasted underwhelming. The meal was £200 for 5 of us, 2 courses each some diet cokes, and a bottle of wine. The price is fine if the food is great, but it wasn't. If pasta dishes aren't cooked fresh they aren't worth eating. If these pasta dishes were cooked fresh, then the chefs need to really practice them, and I would highly recommend the owners taste their own menu. If they think that's good food then they need to think again. Disappointed ... again.

Really disappointed with the welcome given by female server. From the minute we arrived she gave us the impression that we were not welcome. Everything was a problem from asking for a high chair to telling her we had a voucher to pay… (voucher monetary which was a Christmas gift). Menus on website out of date. I specifically went on a Sunday as I liked the look of the Sunday lunch menu. When I asked the female server, she said they had not served this menu for over 2 years.. Again with an unfriendly manner. This female genuinely spoiled our little family day out with the way she made us feel. I have read another bad review about her too.. I’m not sure what her role is in this business but she needs to be aware that her attitude is not good and she should never make people feel the way she made us feel today. Otherwise the restaurant is lovely in a nice setting and the food was nice too. Shame about this female….

Cannot recommend highly enough. We were looking for a private space to host a family dinner for a 60th wedding anniversary. From booking to dining everything was seamless. As this was during the busy Christmas period we were asked to pay a deposit and pre-order our meals. This actually made it easier for everyone as instead of having to decide on menus on the night we could meet and chat on arrival knowing the restaurant had this in hand. We had the mezzanine level all to ourselves and although the restaurant was busy, the service was excellent. The meals were delicious. Extremely tasty and very well presented. 12 adults and one child and not one complaint. Businesses get a hard time if anything is not right so I feel they should also be recognised when they do it well, which Luci's really did. We will be back. Thank you Luci's 😊

I booked this to take my Parents and my 2 year kid son on Christmas eve. When we arrived I was disappointed to be immediately told that if anyone wanted the 3 course lunch then everyone had to get it. We had two vegetarians for which that menu didn't have much choice but my parents were keen on the festive menu. This caused alot of stressing and when asked further the wait staff didn't really give any explanation. We decided to all go for the festive menu so my parents could have what they want but I was disappointed as we wanted to pizzas. Instead we go camembert starter which had bread that was really really hard to eat and gnocchi which had butternut squash pieces that were a bit hard still. We really enjoyed the tiramisu dessert and my parents enjoyed the fillet steaks, although it came with only chips and no veg. I was a bit disappointed as we never been before and I took a risk booking it for Christmas eve meal. With that rules around the festive menu for the table as a vegetarian I wouldn't book again but might return to try a pizza on a less special occasion.

Would love to make this a positive review because the food and drinks there are excellent, but the car park surface is beyond shocking. There aren’t potholes, there are entire sections of the road surface just missing. The worst being bang in the middle of all the parking bays turning points, so you’re almost guaranteed to hit it. Even with slow speeds of a couple miles an hour, the base of the car hits the ground if you’re unlucky enough to hit one of the circa 73 craters that are there, which aren’t really avoidable so you’d be forgiven for doing so. It really ruins any good opinions I could have about the other aspects of the establishment. It’s not hard to have quality facilities. Just because it’s outside the restaurant, doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter.

Would like to be able to come here for food as I live in Lasswade, however my partner and I are vegan and there are pretty much no vegan options (focaccia and side portion of vegetables is about it) which is a real shame. These days almost all restaurants have at least one decent vegan main option (even the traditional pub over the road does!) so I feel Luci’s need to up their game.

Quite disappointed with food and service. Staff we’re pretty clueless about menu and wine list. No one checked on us during the meal . Food mediocre. Very limited parking and parking area used as smoke area so not ideal when you are sitting outside and...

Would not go back here. Sat for an hour and a half before our order was taken and then it was a further 2.5 hours for the mains to come. Food was very average, quite bland. Would have usually ordered dessert but by the time...

Love Luci’s normally but the macaroni tasted like a white sauce ( no cheese) in pasta and the chicken caesar salad was drowning in mayo so was very soggy and my mum left most of it. Puddings were delicious. (we did let the waitress know...

Very very expensive !£114 for half a tiny pizza and pasta . Three starters and three drinks ... not worth the money. One of the lady's serving us was very rude and made us feel very uncomfortable . Not worth the money! AVOID

Went today as a chance 4, sat in the bar with a couple other tables. Staff were professional & accommodating. Young waiter Reece couldn’t have done more for us 5* service all round!! Ross behind the bar was shaking & mixing the best cocktails I’ve tasted for a long time! Food was top class. Lamb lasagne was amazing, best food I’ve tasted locally in a long time 😃

We went here for lunch with friends the other day. It was our first time since the new ownership/refurb and we were very impressed with the design and and how immaculate it looked. The gent that served us was very friendly and helpful. The Sunday menu was new and caters for most diets. Most items were reasonably priced. Portion sizes were good and were well presented. I had the gnocchi which was very tasty. Quite possible the best gnocchi I’ve ever had. I got the haggis bon bons for a side and also the steamed broccoli with almonds. Both of which were excellent. For dessert I got the tart which was also nice. Others in the party also enjoyed their meals and couldn’t really fault it. We’ll for sure be back. Is it better than Gigi’s? Hmm…good question.

Dropped in by chance when travelling down south. Prawn cocktail was best I've ever had, enormous prawns, tasty sauce and fresh garnish. Gluten free pizza was amazing. Fresh tasty and light. Not doughy and heavy. Beautiful restaurant and the bathrooms are stunning and spotless. Huge portions and I was offered a box but declined do to continuing our journey but I did see others take away. Would highly recommend

Upmarket restaurant in a small country village serving a delicious, good quality range of food. We enjoyed Saturday night dinner at this restaurant and I was particularly impressed when the days special was Ox Cheek. It did not disappoint! I enjoyed a melt-in-the-mouth beautifully prepared dish and was toiling to finish it all. Thankfully we'd shared bruschetta to start...the portion was more than enough for two and it was delicious. I'd highly recommend 119 and will most definitely be back.
