Mexico City’s Grupo Hunan Is Opening a Modern and Elegant Italian Restaurant at Westfield UTC | Eater San Diego

"Coming this summer to Westfield UTC in San Diego, Lucrezia will take over the street-level space formerly occupied by Larsen’s Steakhouse and occupy about 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. The menu, created with culinary partner Caccio Pizza & Rotisserie, will highlight antipasti, fresh shellfish, carpaccio, penne arrabbiata and Neapolitan pizza topped with prosciutto di San Daniele and rocket, plus mains such as grilled branzino, Jidori rotisserie chicken with salsa verde and an aged bistecca alla Fiorentina for two. Designed by Grupo Hunan’s in-house Cuaik Comprehensive Design Studio, the no‑expense‑spared interior will feature muted green wicker chairs, a rose‑hued bar counter, overhanging plants on the al‑fresco terrace, and a sophisticated dining room with architecturally curved ceilings and a grand piano, reflecting the group’s idea that “simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.”" - Helen I.
