Total millennial vibe restaurant. Love the music wasn’t too loud, high ceilings makes it a very comfortable environment and the decor was super cute. Our waitress, Morgan, was so lovely and super friendly. We had a nice very nice chat with her. The food was so good and definitely meets our expectations for delicious Italian food. Definitely recommend all the pastas! Will be coming back a lot more to try their full menu!

Just was in town from Edmonton for the marathon and decided to give this place a try. It’s safe to say I was very impressed. Due to a complication with our seating in our reservation the manager brought champagne on the house which was very kind of them and the hosts were very accommodating and genuinely cared. The service was fantastic and the food was phenomenal. Safe to say some of the best pasta I’ve had in my life. The portion sizes are extremely generous and the menu looked extravagant. We will be back to try their desserts and more food the next time we are in town :). The atmosphere was gorgeous and the restaurant seems very aesthetically pleasing and clean. I would recommend dining here.

First interesting takeout experience with Lusi. The pasta were different from those of other Italian restaurants in the city. They could have been a little bit more al dente. The portions were generous. The octopus and boar pappardelle were our favorite. The Nduja carrots weren’t really a hit. We will give it a try at the restaurant next time.

Service was super attentive! For food, the beef carpaccio and pistachio and pesto cavatelli were yummy. I also enjoyed the carbonara pizza, but found the crust a bit thick and tough. Flavour of the toppings were great though. Wasn’t a huge fan of the cocktails in terms of sweetness (we were looking for something on the sweeter side), and there isn’t much of a selection for sweet ones. Presentation was nice though. Will come again and try other dishes.

We came here on our last night visiting from BC. The space is beautifully done. It’s comfortable, with perfect lighting. The ambience is immaculate. We had the pleasure meeting and conversing with the owner Ervin. Our server Luis was professional and made great suggestions for us to try. From our appetizers to entree, we were excited and happy with what we chose. Warm Olives, Prawns and Octopus. Verde salad. Wild Boar Pappardelle and simple Margarita Pizza. Ended our night with a piece (very shareable size) tiramisu. Our cocktails were cold and fresh and our bottle of Chianti paired perfectly with our entrees. Thank you so much for the delicious food and hospitality

Went to Lusi last evening for a birthday celebration and it did not disappoint! This was our first time dining with Lusi and from the moment we walked in we felt welcomed. We were greeted and asked whose birthday it was. We were seated and asked about drinks within 5 minutes. When it came to ordering, our server Rithvik was knowledgeable and attentive. He asked about food allergies, etc. He ensured that all of our food was issue-free and checked in on us frequently. The food was absolutely fantastic! Not a single thing was a miss. Food looked amazing and tasted even better! For dessert, our birthday girl got a dessert with a sparkler! Overall, the best dining experience we could have asked for or imagined!
