The story

Ristorante Lucia, Giulianova – Michelin Recommended Contemporary Seafood

A Historic Restaurant by the Adriatic

Ristorante Lucia has been a fixture on the Giulianova Lido since 1971, earning a reputation for its daily-fresh seafood and warm hospitality. In 2026, this dedication was recognised with a Michelin Recommended award, placing it among the notable tables of the Abruzzo coast.

Family Roots, Modern Expression

From the beginning, the restaurant has been a family affair, driven by a passion for cooking and welcoming guests. The kitchen blends classic Abruzzese seafood traditions with a contemporary sensibility, sourcing fish each morning from local markets. The result is a menu that honours the past while embracing clean, modern flavours.

Dishes That Speak of the Sea

The kitchen’s style is evident in dishes such as fettuccina rigata with skate sauce, spaghettino mantecato with sole, Adriatic clams and lime, and the classic brodetto alla giuliese. Other signatures include riso al verde with raw scampi, black tortelli filled with creamy cod, and paccheri with amberjack and aubergine. Desserts like meringue with passion fruit and coconut or mascarpone spuma round out the meal.

An Inviting Setting

The restaurant offers two dining rooms and a covered terrace, all within a modern, welcoming structure just steps from the beach. Guests describe the atmosphere as tranquil, elegant and refined, with original, classy dishes that reflect the kitchen’s care.

Recognition Worth Noting

The Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026 underscores the consistency and quality of Lucia’s cuisine. It is a recognition that aligns with the restaurant’s long-standing commitment to fresh ingredients and refined technique.
