Lucini's - HEPBURN SPRINGS

We absolutely loved this restaurant! It was the highlight of our weekend and a must-visit. It truly captures the essence of authentic Italian cuisine. Three of us tried the forbidden fruit dessert and couldn't get enough. My zucchini and mushroom pasta was incredibly delicious. And the salami was so good, it was impossible to stop eating it. Overall, it was a fantastic experience with not just great food, but great all-around.

You may easily overlook Lucini's when driving by, as it appears quite basic and almost rundown. However, it is definitely worth a stop. Lucini's is perfect for those who enjoy casual dining and high-quality, affordable locally sourced food in an extremely rustic setting. Don't be surprised if you spot chickens or goats wandering around as you dine. Overall, highly recommended.

My girlfriend an I went on a Saturday night an the place was packed. The staff were very welcoming. Being a family run business made the atmosphere friendly an comfortable. We had the lucinis sausage with Nepali sauce for entree which was beautifully home made! For main we had lasagna an zucchini anchovy pasta which was sensational. Love every bit of this place would suggest it to anyone! From outside it might not look like much, but don't judge a book by its cover! Go in an taste there food! Spot on!!

Very Good Service. MaMa Maria the lady boss) is so friendly and I would definitely go back there to try the food!! Felt bad that we went in to have a look in the restaurant only because we had already made a booking with another :P Nice, authenic, cosy environment.. Would like to properly dine in when I next go to Hepburn Springs...

One of the most incredible dining experiences I've had in a while. The staff is exceptional. Midway through our meal, the owner came out and shared some fascinating history about the restaurant and their family, making us feel like we were guests in their home. The food was fantastic! The mushrooms were unlike any I've ever tasted, full of flavor and truly a standout. I can't find mushrooms like that anywhere in Melbourne. I would gladly make the two-hour drive every weekend just to dine here. Absolutely amazing.
