Nestled in the heart of Camarillo, California, Lucerne Italian Restaurant offers an authentic taste of Italy in an intimate and inviting setting. Located at 722 Arneill Rd, this charming Italian eatery is a sanctuary for lovers of classic, vibrant Italian flavors, brought to life with careful attention to quality and tradition.
Lucerne’s menu is a celebration of Italy’s rich culinary heritage. From starters like the perfectly crusted Garlic Bread infused with fragrant garlic and parmesan cheese, to the refreshing and tangy Bruschetta topped with tomatoes, capers, and feta – every bite bursts with fresh, robust flavor. For seafood enthusiasts, the Calamari offers a tender, crispy delight, while those craving comfort can indulge in the creamy, luscious Chicken Alfredo or the elegantly prepared Eggplant Parmigiana.
The entree selection elevates the dining experience, featuring standout dishes such as the richly tender Filet Mignon paired beautifully with risotto and spinach or linguine in a decadent lobster cream sauce, as praised by loyal patron Steve Nash. The Veal Carlos and Veal Saltimbocca deliver an indulgent blend of savory demiglace, brandy, rosemary, and delicate melted mozzarella, accompanied by penne marinara and fresh mixed vegetables, capturing the essence of authentic Italian sophistication.
Whether you're beginning with a comforting bowl of Zuppa Di Minestrone or savoring a side of house-made meatballs swimming in rich marinara, each dish provides a warming, palate-pleasing experience that feels like a loving Italian embrace.
Lucerne’s desserts are no less enchanting. Treat yourself to the luxuriously creamy Tiramisu, with its espresso-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone richness, or the crisp, sweet Cannoli filled with velvety ricotta and drizzled with chocolate and caramel syrup. For a truly divine ending, the Crème Brûlée offers a perfect balance of creamy custard and caramelized sugar crunch, leaving a lasting impression of indulgence. Complement your dessert with an expertly crafted Espresso or Cappuccino for that quintessential Italian finish.
Beyond the exquisite food, Lucerne’s atmosphere strikes a perfect balance between classy and cozy. As Robert Grove highlights, the interior features elegant white tablecloths contrasted against crisp black napkins, with attentive waitstaff dressed impeccably to enhance the sophisticated yet welcoming vibe. The restaurant's intimate setting allows for relaxed, personal dining experiences, whether it’s a romantic evening, family gathering, or quiet solo meal.

Small, intimate setting. Excellent food. Servers were wonderful and attentive. Waited a bit for our food considering it was not very busy.
Loved the food. Everything was delicious. We will be back. The service was great. The servers were very attentive. Happy to find a new Italian restaurant!
Surprising when you walk in the door, our first impression from the location was very average but once inside we were greeted and seated quickly. It has a classy but cozy feel, well decorated, I love the white tablecloth against the black napkins and waiters dressed in all black with black eyes and even matching black masks. The food was amazing along with an exceptional wine list, ending with dessert coffee. A truly enjoyable experience for my wife and I!
I had a wonderful experience.The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant, the food was delicious and the wine perfectly paired, where a rare steak is rare and well done is well done. Do yourself the favor of ordering the bruschetta it will not disappoint, with hints of citrus like I've never had on bruschetta before, I can go on and on about my great experience but will leave it to you to enjoy yourself.
Every time I go I am impressed. I have tried most entrees and have never been disappointed. I am always welcomed and served with personal attention. Best Italian restaurant in Camarillo!
So so so good. We stopped for lunch and wow! Authentic layered flavors and impeccable presentation. Crazy wine list. Must try. I've been all over the east coast and I married Italian. Real deal. One time you'll be hooked. Words can't describe how excellent it was. I wanted to lick the plate but that's rude!
