With freshly prepared pasta, made from scratch, on the menu every day, Luci’s Italian restaurant in Lasswade, ticks all the boxes when it comes to authenticity, as well as sheer delicious variety
Every day, Luci’s team of talented chefs prepare around 40kgs of pasta every week with all types of fresh pasta in the mix, from papardelle, and bucatini to egg rigatoni, traditional spaghetti and tagliatelle.
“Freshly made pasta tastes incredible, so much better than dried varieties,” said Luci’s General Manager Kevin Stewart. ”Combined with our “traditional with a twist” pasta sauces, based on traditional family recipes, what we are offering our customers is really very special.”
“It’s a real labour of love for our chefs to prepare the pasta every day, and it’s certainly worth it. We are receiving fantastic feedback on our dishes and want to continue spreading the word to foodies out there.”
Dishes on Luci’s stand out a la carte menu include Scottish crab – handmade egg tagliatelle with Scottish white crab meat, red chilli, spring onion, Amalfi lemon and coriander butter sauce, Luci’s famous carbonara – handmade egg spaghetti, smoked ham and Grana Padano, confit egg yolk and crispy ham, and Beef Short Rib – handmade egg paradelle, slow braised short rib, San Marzano tomato and a red wine ragu.
The choice also includes Spicy Italian Sausage- a dish of handmade egg rigatoni, spicy Italian sausage, braised fennel, cime di rapa & chilli, and a wild mushroom and black truffle dish, containing handmade egg bucatini, wild mushrooms, black truffle, mascarpone & pecorino Romano.
