We trusted google reviews but the trust was misplaced in this case. While the service was pleasant, Casa Lucia is way overhyped and seriously overpriced for what it offers.
Appetizers are EUR8+, most pasta first courses are EUR20+ and second courses are EUR25-30+, desserts are EUR10+.
In addition, half liter mineral waters are EUR4 and the cover charge is EUR4, thus simply sitting down already incurs a EUR8 hit per person.
Putting prices aside, the quantities were dismal. The pasta (EUR16) was but a handful; my friend who ordered the beef stew (EUR25) was taken aback by the tiny serving which he finished in literally four spoonfuls. The roast beef (EUR24) consisted of a couple of very thin slices not anything like the photo on the menu and lacked any flavouring. The salmon (EUR24) had no sides at all, just a small slice of pan fried fish on a big empty plate; we had to order a side of fries (EUR8) to supplement it.
All in all, we had high expectations but everybody agreed that it was a terrible decision and none of us would consider returning. There are so many other options in Milan that offer a far better value for your money.
