Very good service. Raw place, but with charm. Food quality and balance in flavors above average.
However if you are not a fan of chili, make sure to let the staff know as the cooks use chili oil in every dishes (including pastas!), although it is not written on the menu.

Lovely dinner at Lucetta Dining. Caring staff, rustic walls and nice atmosphere. The dishes are pretty classic Italian with some variations. My partner loved her Pork Milanese & my Duck Ragu was excellent. We also sampled the Asparagus with whipped ricotta romesco salad (fairly small), the snack sized Mortadella fritto with Cacio e Pepe; The Pesce crudo (snapper) with yuzu, colatura, lardo, pickled radish. Also the lovely Vitello Tonnato being Poached veal, tuna cream, fried capers, chives
Only fault for mine was that food came VERY fast. We were the first customers in the door at 17:15 were out by 18:35. Too fast for me and my aging stomach.
Anyway, a pleasing and pleasant experience – 13.5/20.

It was quite expensive but honestly completely worth it! My partner and I dined at Lucetta for our anniversary. The food was phenomenal and delicious, the service was also amazing with kind and helpful staff. The chef kindly had changed our meal as I couldn’t eat the fish, the lamb he replaced it with was absolutely the best lamb I had ever tasted with a beautiful creamy spinach sauce

Food and service was amazing! Best lamb we’ve ever had. Definitely recommend for a special occasion or if you just want to treat yourself

We really enjoyed our dinner here. We started off with the focaccia and mortadella Frito, followed by Nonna’s eggplant parmigiana and the Milanese, before ending with both the duck pasta and amatriciana. Standouts were the focaccia, Milanese and the amatriciana. Warm and friendly service

Lucetta is a true gem in Orange – the food is absolutely outstanding, with every dish full of flavour and beautifully presented. The local wine options are excellent. Service is very friendly, effortlessly attentive, and polished. The ambience at Lucetta is incredible, attention to detail is beautiful, making it the perfect spot for a memorable dining experience. Highly recommend Lucetta!

This was a fantastic night. Because we had a larger group of 8, we booked for the set menu. It was a diverse and thoughtful selection with flexibility if desired. The service was excellent. The staff were lovely to interact with, and enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the menu. The food was absolutely fantastic. A special mention to the poached veal. Delicate and delicious. Thank you for having us!

The Pesce Crudo, Bucatini Amatriciana and Bitter Leaf Salad paired well with the Chalou Riesling. The deconstructed Tiramisu was a surprising highlight. The waitress was more than happy to explain each dish on the menu which was mostly in Italian. A highly recommended dining experience when visiting Orange.

Had a meal here last night & it was brilliant! It’s a small authentic Italian (not the pizza pasta type) restaurant. The staff in the restaurant actually looked happy to be there & the service was excellent. Helped with understanding the menu & the right number/mixture of dishes and explained everything beautifully as it arrived at the table. Every dish we had was a 10/10!
The wine list has some good local & international options at good prices. The fit out is lovely with moody lighting & the place has a real energetic vibe. Loved it. Wish I was staying in Orange longer so I could get through a few more of the menu options!

The restaurant is a gorgeous, rustic, very lovely Italian style venue. The service was also lovely and attentive.
What lets this restaurant down however is the menu. Apart from steak, there are no main dishes on the menu that are GF. When I enquired whether the pasta dishes could be served on GF pasta (which is readily available everywhere) the waitress said no and if I wanted GF I should just have sides and entrees.
Italy is fantastic for people who eat GF. You can get fabulous GF bread, pasta, pastry everywhere. There is no excuse for not providing a menu that everyone can enjoy. And there is no justification for telling diners to simply eat entrees and sides because the menu doesn’t cater for you.
As a side note, if you were a GF vegetarian you would have been stuck eating bitter salad leaves!!
