Luci - Covent Garden

I ordered the Tagliatelle AL Ragu, and I've been on the hunt for a great Bolognese-like pasta ever since my trip to Italy in 2019. This one comes close to the real deal! I'm very particular about my food, and let me tell you, you'll love it! I enjoyed it so much that I forgot to take a picture the first time, but my friend snapped a shot of his honey-glazed Nduja pizza 🍕, which was also fantastic (I sneaked a taste).

Price-wise, it’s balanced—not too pricey. I just wish the pasta portion was a bit bigger, but maybe that's just my big appetite talking, haha. The service was quick, and ALL the staff, from the moment we entered the restaurant (at the top), were excellent—friendly and knowledgeable.

I highly recommend this place and will definitely be back soon! The café downstairs was cute with lots of options, including ice cream, freshly baked pizza, and pastries. It is laptop-friendly which is always a plus for me, and I love the division between the café and the restaurant. Can't wait to return and try more food!
