Lucille Bistro

Silvio's Ivanhoe East Italian. BYO, seasonal kitchen, and calamari worth the drive.

Warmly lit with considered décor and soft background music that keeps conversation easy. The alfresco area can be sealed in winter with custom blinds and heated, making it versatile for functions. Feels personal and neighbourhood-owned rather than corporate.

BYO wine (corkage applies, Tuesdays noted as BYO night). Seasonal menu that updates according to market availability. Alfresco area accommodates private functions up to 40 guests. Owner Silvio often works the floor personally and presents the specials. Live piano on special occasions.

Italian-led kitchen with a passionate Italian chef; pasta dishes, calamari, arancini and crème brûlée prepared to traditional standards. Menu authenticity noted specifically by reviewers with Italian heritage.

Considered excellent value for the quality. reviewers frequently mention that mains are generously sized and pricing is reasonable for this level of Italian cooking. BYO significantly improves value for wine lovers.
