It may have just gotten a little harder to snag a weekend table at Lucia in Oak Cliff. The Week magazine in its April 15 edition has joined a long list of publications that are heaping praise on David and Jennifer Uygur's Bishop Arts District hot spot.

Recently named "the best new resataurant in Texas" by The New York Times, Lucia's was called out in an article in the weekly news magazine entitled "Critics' Choice: Three Chefs who are raising the bar in Texas." The other two were The Inn at Dos Brisas in Washington and  Congress in Austin. The article notes that "Lucia creates its own cured meats, and no other Dallas restaurant can touch its house-made bread."  

Lucia's is at 408 W. 8th St. Call 214-948-4998 for a reservation, but you're probably looking well into the summer for a prime weekend spot. The best I could get early in March was an 8 p.m. spot on Thursday in late April. Can't wait.
