Luce e Limoni Restaurant is a Sicilian and Italian dining room on Gray’s Inn Road near Chancery Lane. More than a decade of service has established it as a welcoming place for the bright flavours of Sicily and the wider Italian mainland. The polished but comfortable setting suits lunch, dinner and private occasions, with a menu that gives seafood, homemade pasta and carefully sourced produce equal attention.
Starters include broad bean soup with dill, salmon and mint fishcake, and stuffed squid with ricotta, lemon, chorizo, capers and cherry tomato sauce. Sicilian prawn carpaccio is paired with samphire and marinated red onion, while burrata comes with aubergine caponata and basil dressing. Cured lonza with rocket and Parmesan offers a simple meat alternative with fresh lemon acidity.
Homemade pasta ranges from rigatoni with fried aubergine, tomato, basil and salted ricotta to spicy spaghetti with crab and mushrooms. Bucatini carries a Sicilian pork belly ragout, and tortelloni filled with veal and mozzarella is finished with sage, tomato and truffle oil. Black linguine with scallops, potato gnocchi with pesto and other changing preparations show the kitchen moving easily between seafood, meat and vegetables.
Main courses include beef fillet with Marsala, herb crusted lamb, veal escalope, cod alla giotta, salmon with almond and saffron, and sea bass with lemon butter. Tiramisu, ricotta cannoli, biancomangiare, chocolate mousse and Sicilian cheesecake continue the regional focus through dessert. Aperitivo drinks and an Italian wine list complete a menu that presents Sicily through both established recipes and the restaurant’s own thoughtful details.
