Lucia's is located in a very trendy, chic upscale shopping area. Kitchen Window, Papersouce and other cool shops and boutiques are next door. There is an outdoor seating area and a very nice dining room. The lunch menu looked like it is set everyday depending on what is in season. The portions are small. The salads were not very interesting.... More

Last Friday, my wife and I drove to the Twin Cities to have lunch at "Lucia's Restaurant, Wine Bar, Bakery, and Sidewalk Cafe" - on 31st Street in the Uptown area of Minneapolis, just a block south of Lake and Hennepin. Lucia's is the creation of the highly respected owner, gifted chef, local food innovator, and author Lucia Watson. I... More

Good food with a small menu. All organic food I believe. The food was blended well. Great dessert! I had the flour less cake that was amazing! Over all good food. Not sure If ill be back or not. I was impressed but not enough to skip over some of my other mpls favorites.

Love this place and the wine bar. Food is always good & the wine/beer choices are unique. Cozy place to come for dinner or just a wine.

I absolutely love this place. You can count on delicious food with a yummy twist. It's a great spot to meet friends and have a conversation! I love places that you can break bread and have a conversation! Actually hear each other. Highly recommend this spot for dining in or on the sidewalk where you can people watch. B

the food here is good. nothing to write home about but very consistent. i really like the frittatas at brunch. the cafe can be very convenient as well. i think the coffee is subpar and the service can be really inattentive at times.

Have been to Lucia's numerous times. Never disappoints. Fresh, thoughtful, good food and wine. What I wish I would make at home.

The food at Lucia's is not to miss. The service could use some improvements. Being a person who has worked in fine dining for many years, I might have high expectations, but why shouldn't I? I spent my time bending over backwards with a big smile on my face - why don't I get to enjoy that every once in... More
