Yum! I had dinner here with a friend for a fun night out in Mendoza city. We enjoyed every part of our meal! The bread was great, the starters were great, the steak was perfect! We also each got a copa de vino, one red and one white. Both excellent. The server didn't know any English but it was still OK with our limited Spanish. He was very friendly. Only complaint is the music was too loud.
What an enchanting place. The entire staff are a dream of old fashioned service that has become all but extinct. Our Waiter Kevin was fabulous. The Food… I have been to some of the best American steak houses from LA, Chicago and New Orleans and this was the best steak of my life. If you are in Mendoza you have to eat at La Lucia. Second time around. I’ll put the crème brûlée first so you can see the deliciousness that ensued the second trip. I have to say, my waiter. Kevin. He’s awesome. He’s been my waiter twice and I don’t wanna cut any of the other guys off, but he is simply a wonderful waiter.
Amazing place! The food was extremely nice, the service was impeccable, and the atmosphere very chilled. We went there to grab smth quick for dinner and ended up staying 4 hours. A must visit for Mendoca city!
We’ve been here twice for dinner, and each time the experience has been outstanding. The food is thoughtfully crafted. I ordered the smoked squid ink rice, which was truly special. I also highly recommend the burrata with jamón, the gazpacho, and any dishes with octopus or gnocchi. Every flavor was beautifully balanced and deeply memorable. You can genuinely feel the chef’s passion and love for the craft in each dish. The service was equally exceptional. Our server, Jesus, was fantastic and offered spot-on recommendations for both food and wine, perfectly aligned with our tastes.
Lovely restaurant, bit more expensive but worth it. The steaks are HUGE, i would recommend sharing or checking how big they are. The food was tasty and steaks cooked as asked for. We asked the waiter for a Malbec recommendation and loved it. Great evening.
