FOODIE FRIDAY: WAITING FOR LUCIA
My husband and I decided to make a date night at a local restaurant called Lucia. I don’t know if you guys have ever been there, but it takes about 2 months to get a reservation! I put in my reservation for July in May!
WHAT WE ORDERED:
For starters, they bring out homemade sourdough bread with fresh butter and sea salt. I love bread and this is seriously some of the best that I’ve ever had. The sea salt butter really kicks it up a notch!
For an appetizer, we ordered the Merry Goat Round with arugula. Fantastic!
PRIMI:
We ordered two primi courses:
Risotto bianco with shrimp, pancetta, and corn
Gnocchi with basil pesto, Texas red potato, and green beans
The gnocchi was by far my favorite thing that we ordered! Definitely give it a try! I’m not a huge fan of risotto so I’m not sure why I ordered it, but it was still delicious. If you’re not a huge risotto fan either, then give this a try and it might change your mind!
SECONDI:
We ordered A Bar N Wagyu coulotte with Texas purple hull peas, kohlrabi, soubise & salsa verde.
The meat was so tender and juicy and cooked just the way I like it!
If you are thinking about trying to get a reservation at Lucia, set a reminder in your calendar to book the date that you’re looking at 2 months in advance! It is definitely worth the wait!
