Who is Lucia?
Before we go any further, let us introduce you to Lucia who is an Italian beauty that takes your breath away. She is the Capri morning light and the myth that makes you fall in love with life. She moves with the sun and her smile doesn’t leave her face. She knows flavours, is passionate about food and it shows. She also knows how to throw a show-stopping party.
The Food
The food on the table is sophisticated, generous, and authentically Italian. All dishes, whipped up by the master chefs in the kitchen, are meant to be shared with friends in a fun and relaxed atmosphere.
The finest seafood from Sicily features on the menu, with the likes of Lucia’s Torre di Crudi di Mare- sliced Mediterranean red snapper with a citrus dressing which is a delicious sharing dish for up to four people.
You’ll find Beef Carpaccio- seared beef tenderloin, rocket, parmesan cheese, shaved black truffle with a balsamic vinegar dressing, Ricotta Ravioli- homemade ravioli, buffalo ricotta, caviar, red prawn tartare, with Amalfi lemon zest and Milanese di Vitello- 500 gr milk fed veal chop cooked in butter, rocket, cherry tomatoes, and parmesan salad.
Desserts are last on the menu but certainly not least. Among the scrumptious choices you will find the likes of Crostata Al Limone Di Capri- shortcrust pastry with Capri lemon cream, meringue, and raspberry gel. These are not to be missed so leave a little room for one – or maybe two.
Executive Chef for 7 Management, Enrico Paiola who has led some of the most famous kitchens in the food industry including Enoteca della Valpolicella, Verona, Soho House Cecconis, London and Miami, says “Lucia’s opening its doors is a dream come true for me. The menu is pure Italian and reminds me of the food you can find only in Italy; nothing I personally don’t want to eat. There are many Italian restaurants in Dubai but what we have here is a truly Italian experience from start to finish. “
The Setting
Lucia’s must be seen to be believed; it is stunning! It’s decorated in an incredibly chic, elegant, and playful style with bursts or colour that includes a sharp lemon and blue aesthetic, with plenty of greenery, citrus and olive trees.

The Vibe
