Lucia Pasta Bar opened in Savannah’s creative Starland District in the fall of 2025, breathing new life into the restored Starland Dairy building. Leading the kitchen and vision is chef-owner Kyle Jacovino, the culinary mind behind local favorite Pizzeria Vittoria, whose longtime goal was to bring handcrafted Italian pasta and thoughtful cocktails to Savannah on a larger scale.

Guests can enjoy the evening in two distinct ways: by pulling up to the ringside pasta bar to watch chefs craft fresh pasta by hand, or by settling into the Art Deco dining room, restored with 1930s charm for a more intimate setting.

Menu standouts include handmade sweet potato–stuffed pasta, squid-ink bucatini, wood-fired pizzas, tender octopus, and more. Reservations are recommended, this place fills up quickly.
