Lucio Galletto

Lucio Galletto was born into a family of farmers and restaurateurs in north west Italy. He was studying to become an architect when he fell in love with a visiting Australian girl and moved to Sydney. In 1981, they set up Lucio’s, which has become one of Australia’s most highly rated Italian restaurants, a favourite of people working in business, entertainment and art, and of visiting Italians.

In a new century, he returned to Italy in search of his soffritto.
