In the business of feeding people for generations, hospitality truly does run through the veins of the Galletto family.
Opening their first restaurant Capannina Ciccio in Northern Italy in the 1950s, the ‘little shack on the beach’ served local catch to the townspeople, and after multiple expansions continues to trade today, run by 3rd and 4th generation family members.
Following his heart to Australia, son of Cappannina Ciccio Lucio Galletto held the same passion as his parents, to share good food with the local community, and alongside wife Sally, Lucio’s in Paddington Sydney was born in 1983. Winning the heart of the local community, Lucio’s became one of Sydney's longest running and most successful restaurants, before closing in early 2021.
The next chapter for the Galletto family has begun on the Sunshine Coast as Lucio’s son Matteo Galletto, with his wife Dieuwke opened Lucio’s Marina on the Noosa Marina. Overlooking the Noosa river, the restaurant was established to continue the family tradition of providing great food & hospitality within a thriving food community.
A seafood trattoria at heart, Lucio’s Marina continues the traditions from Northern Italy, combining quality local catch with Italian culture. Highlighting the region’s offering, the team has designed a menu that will transport you to coastal Italy with a nod to the original Lucio’s menu.
