Lucca by the Sea

Lucca by the Sea is the evening sibling of Lucca Beach on Cennet Koyu (Paradise Bay), extending the Istanbul-Bebek Lucca brand's restaurant-and-bar grammar into a 19:00–midnight dinner room rather than a daytime sundeck. The room shares the bay with the Lucca Beach day-club but separates as the destination dinner reservation: the seafood-leaning card carries fire-baked pizza alongside wood-grilled octopus escabeche with chives, beef tenderloin tagliata and burrata pizza from the brick oven; the bar runs award-winning cocktails on seasonal Aegean ingredients. The reader books Lucca by the Sea as the evening counterpoint to a Maçakızı or Mandarin lunch, Bebek's Istanbul cocktail-and-music grammar without the Cennet Koyu daytime strict-19:00 close.
