Lucia
Award-winning restaurant in the Bishop Arts District is where you'll find chef David Uygur, executing his vision of upscale Italian comfort food. Everything is made onsite, beginning with the salumi plate, with options such as spicy sopressata, salame, duck pate with pistachio, and lardo on crostini. Pasta is a must, whether it’s Meyer lemon risotto with crab, spaghetti with bottarga, or lamb brain ravioli; you can get it in half-portions. Doting service includes wine tips from co-owner Jennifer Uygur, and the complimentary house bread has its own following. The restaurant is generally booked a month out, but there are four seats at the bar that are first-come, first-served.
