At Luce e Limoni Sicilian Italian restaurant in central London, we’re passionate about our island’s culinary heritage, and not just the pasta.
While our homemade pasta dishes are of course beloved by our diners, our non-pasta meat and fish main courses often steal the spotlight, with their bold, authentic Sicilian ingredients. So, without further ado, let’s explore the hearty, elegant mains that prove Sicilian and Italian cuisine is so much more than spaghetti and tagliatelle.
Our pan-fried prime beef fillet, for example, is a masterpiece of simplicity and depth. Served with a rich Marsala reduction and fragrant fresh rosemary, the tender fillet absorbs the sweet, fortified wine’s complexity, creating a melt-in-your-mouth experience that’s both rustic and refined. Equally indulgent is our slow roasted rump of lamb, crusted with Sicilian herbs and paired with a cranberry and port sauce. The herb crust adds an aromatic crunch, while the sauce balances tart and sweet, elevating the lamb’s natural richness.
For those looking for lighter but no less flavourful Italian food in central London, our pan-fried veal escalope really delivers. Coated in a delicate sage and butter sauce and layered with smoky speck, this dish is a nod to Sicily’s love for bold, savoury pairings.
Now, seafood lovers will delight in our roast cod fillet a la ‘giotta’, where capers, anchovies and cherry tomatoes create a tangy, vibrant sauce that complements the fish’s flaky texture. Meanwhile, our pan-fried salmon fillet, adorned with a toasted almond and saffron sauce, marries nutty crunch with the floral warmth of saffron – a Sicilian staple. And then there’s our pan-fried sea bass fillet, a celebration of the Mediterranean, with tender asparagus and a zesty lemon butter sauce that brightens every bite.
Each dish reflects Sicily’s diverse influences – Arab, Spanish, Italian – while highlighting fresh, local ingredients. Don’t get us wrong, at our popular Sicilian Italian restaurant in central London, we serve fantastic homemade pasta, but we also encourage our diners to savour our meat and fish delights. Our mains truly are proof that Sicilian and Italian dining can be as varied as it is delicious, offering something extraordinary for every palate.
