Restaurant Lucente - Essen

Good Italian food, both fish and meat dishes. Reasonable prices, although we ended up paying per person without wine. Italian staff.

This restaurant offers a true variety of foods not just the typical Italian style. Food was fresh and well prepared. The wine menu was mainly Italian but the choices were acceptable to most prices levels. I would definitely recommend if you are in Essen. Enjoy?

Small, quiet and classy Italian food. The online menu is not in English and their printed menus do not explicitly identify gluten-free dishes but when I visited (September they had a a knowledgeable and fluent english speaking hostess who was able to confirm gluten-free...options including a choice of starters, mains and desserts.

First I must state that the food at this place is quite extraordinary. I've been there quite often and we never had anything to complain about a meal. On the downside though the service is not very welcoming. The waiters have quite an attitude, almost...never saying please thanks or excuse me And even though the food is superb whenever I am at this place and don't feel comfortable. Would I recommend this place? To be honest: No, I wouldn't.

This is a great restaurant. Italian restaurants can be hit and miss in Germany but the food here is very good! Lovely wine and in a nice location too. Staff aren't in any hurry to get you out or serve you sometimes. But just relax...and enjoy.
