In 1973, Lucio Altana moved to London to work at the infamous ‘San Lorenzo’. In 2003, after many a decade of being their Maître D’, he left to fulfil a dream of his; opening his own restaurant.
On 10th December 2003, Lucio, situated on the ‘Chelsea Cross’ junction of the Fulham road, opened its doors for the first time and has been offering a seasonal menu that changes monthly ever since.
Now Lucio’s sons, Dario and Mirko, work alongside their father to put a family touch on fine-dining Italian cuisine.
Executive chef, Antonio Carroccia, has been with us since we first opened. Originating from Puglia, his menus and plates never fail to please Lucio’s high standards.

“Simply awesome, out of this world Italian restaurant! You feel as if you have been magically transported to Italy to enjoy the sumptuous food, impeccably served by very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Even the weather was typically Italian, which was an unexpected bonus. What more can I say? In short: food & wine impeccable, service outstanding, weather most Italian :)”
