- Lasswade Italian restaurant’s daily prepared pasta is a real USP
With freshly prepared pasta, made from scratch, on the menu every day, Luci’s Italian restaurant in Lasswade, ticks all the boxes when it comes to authenticity, as well as sheer delicious variety!
Every day, Luci’s team of talented chefs prepare all types of fresh pasta, from paradelle, (flat long ribbon shaped pasta) and bucatini (rounded strands of pasta that look like spaghetti), to egg rigatoni, traditional spaghetti and tagliatelle, with the restaurant going through around 40kg of pasta every week.
“Freshly made pasta tastes incredible, so much better than dried varieties,”
”Combined with our “traditional with a twist” pasta sauces, based on traditional family recipes, what we are offering our customers is really very special.”
“It’s a real labour of love for our chefs to prepare the pasta every day, and it’s certainly worth it. We are receiving fantastic feedback on our dishes and want to continue spreading the word to foodies out there.”
Luci’s General Manager Kevin Stewart.
