In the business of feeding people for generations, hospitality truly runs through the veins of the Galletto family. Step back to the 1950’s, in Northern Italy, where a modest beachside shack, Capannina Ciccio, first served the local catch to the townsfolk. A humble beginning for the Galletto family.

After following his heart to Australia, son of Capannina Ciccio, Lucio Galletto held the same passion as his parents - to share good food with the local community. 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 began on the Sunshine Coast, as Lucio’s son Matteo Galletto opened Lucio’s Marina with his wife, Dieuwke. Located on the picturesque Noosa Marina, offering an elevated dining experience in a refined yet relaxed waterside setting. The restaurant continues the Galletto family’s storied legacy in hospitality, providing great food and hospitality within a thriving community. 

A seafood Trattoria at heart, Lucio’s Marina continues the traditions from Northern Italy, combining quality local catch with Italian culture. Focusing on keeping to Italian tradition with Australian innovation, together with the team, Matteo & Dieuwke have designed a menu that will transport you to coastal Italy with a nod to the original Lucio’s menu.
