A Southern Italian seafood restaurant in the hip HGU hotel in Midtown.

Deriving its name from the Italian word for “snail,” Lumaca embraces the Italian 'slow' pace of life and leisurely mealtimes. The coastal Italian menu has been inspired by DeLuci's own southern Italian roots - offering dishes specific to the region of Puglia.

​The menu is filled with regional favorites sourced directly from Italy, along with locally sourced seafood and authentic Italian flavors. Expect updated versions of classics like vitello tonnato, ravioli, paccheri with ricotta cheese and wild boar, calamari stewed in tomato sauce, fried mussels with spicy aioli, and branzino in parchment.
