Sharing the same heritage as the grand cafes of Milan, Luci brings the best of Italy from breakfast through dinner. Start your morning with Italian viennoiserie and freshly baked bread, accompanied with Luci’s own-roasted coffee. For lunch, make a quick pit-stop to the ‘bancone’ and choose from a variety of thin focaccia Genovese, delicious ciabatta and wood-fired pizza by the slice. With a tempting selection of Milanese cakes and homemade gelati and sorbetti your visit will definitely end on a sweet note! Head upstairs for lunch or dinner to find sit-down dining alongside a menu that takes you through a journey of Italian classics and fresh pasta.

LUCi is the ideal Covent Garden location for hosting a wide range of private events, from family lunches and intimate dinners to press and product launches, and more!

A maximum of 20 on a banquette | Up to 200 standing and 70 seated on the first floor
Exclusively hire the venue for up to 550 standing or 100 seated

We went for dinner in the upstairs dining but we should have just ate in the ground floor cafe and been quite alright. The upstairs dining for dinner is overpriced and mediocre. Service was good and the ambiance is nice. The food just under delivers.

The restaurant itself is beautifully decorates. The two lady waitresses who served us were really lovely. We had the afternoon tea and I don't think it was worth what we paid. I might go back as their dinner menu looked good.

We went to Luci for the first time last weekend before a show in town. The food, service and ambience were all very good and the set meal extremely good value. Our waiter Tony was excellent and we were welcomed by Francesco - a great team. We will definitely return next time we are in the area - don't bother with any other Italian restaurants - book here, you won't regret it
