Da Lucio was founded in 2019 in Via Santa Maria al Mare, Rimini, as a small, humble neighborhood restaurant in the ethnic area between the train station and Piazza Ferrari, with the goal of serving the best fish from the local sea. A few months after opening, due to unforeseen events, the pandemic, the business was relocated near the Rimini seafront at Viale Amerigo Vespucci 71, the current address. Da Lucio kitchen is distinguished by the exclusive use of local and large-sized fish, whose flavor and texture are enhanced by the dry-aging technique. We give value even the less noble parts of the fish, such as the offal, which have become one of the highlights of our menu, our true treasure. Da Lucio menu is always evolving, as we love using seasonal ingredients, primarily cooked over a charcoal grill or in a wood-fired oven. Fire is a magical element that imparts an ancestral mark on the food. In 2023, we were honored to be ranked 26th in the Top New Restaurants Europe by OAD. In September 2024, Da Lucio moved for the third time, this time to a unique location by the sea, at Viale Ortigara 80 in Rimini. In 2024, the restaurant received the Best Interior award for its new location from Food & Wine and earned 3 hats from Le Guide de L'Espresso.
