Sydney: Where to Eat: Neighborhood Places: Lucio’s Italian Restaurant

Lucio’s Italian Restaurant

This is the quintessential family-owned Italian restaurant, only it’s been transplanted to a quiet street in Paddington. The menu relies on fresh, seasonal produce and inventive dishes like chicken-and-mascarpone ravioli or squid-ink pasta with crab. Museum-quality contemporary Australian art lines the walls, and the service is always impeccable.
