I was in Sydney for two nights by myself and had dinner here both nights! Staff made a single woman feel welcome and valued. Food was delicious (had chicken with proscuitto and mozzarella one night and boneless chicken thighs with spinach, pine nuts and olives in tomato sauce over mashed potatoes). Reasonable prices for food and wine, especially in the... More

A little hit and miss in the establishment the night we had dinner there. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We met the owner and had a nice conversation about travels in Australia and in the US. One of the pasta dishes was very plain while others were very tasty. The restaurant has no air conditioning and was uncomfortably... More

Delicious and authentic food, surprisingly good wine list, excellent and efficient service, fantastic value, great atmosphere. Hidden away but well worth a visit. Pleasant staff to match the dining experience.

Was really pleased with this restaurant. Nice warm welcome with tasty food and not overpriced. Different to the many expensive restaurants in Sydney but in a good way. The personal touch really makes this a hidden gem.

The lunch special here is great - big servings, and a glass of wine to boot - what more can you ask for. Atmosphere is lovely, like being in little Italy. The service is fantastic. Will go again definately - ps get there early for lunch it does get busy, even on a monday.

If you happen to be nearby it's worth making your way to Lucetta. Service is good, the food is excellent & very well priced. There wasn't any aircon when we visited - probably better to sit outside if you go in the warmer months. We'll be back!

This little italian place is out of the main strip in the Rocks but what a great place to relax and reflect on the days travels. Nothing too flash but just honest, great meals priced well below what you would expect to pay in Sydney. The chicken off the specials board WAS special and the pizza was great with a... More

What a great find. We visited for dinner on our 3rd out of 4 night's in Sydney. We were greeted with a warm welcome by Jo, co-owner, and had a great meal. I ate one of the best pizzas ever and my husband had a delicious gnocchi. We returned the next evening and a tasting of Australian wine awaited us... More

Lucetta is a great place for lunch. They have a two-page lunch menu that offers a choice of pizzas, pastas or salads with a beer wine or softie, and for a very good price. The service is friendly, even though they are busy. The restaurant itself is a little noisy but that's mainly because it is busy (if you are... More

We had a very enjoyable evening meal at this restaurant. The staff were friendly, attentive and obliging. The place was full and happy. It was obvious a number of patrons were locals and repeat clients. Overall a good experience.
