This remains a relatively hidden neighborhood gem. It is a great BYOB option for diners looking to have their special wine with some truly outstanding food. We went on no-corkage fee Wednesday---an added bonus. The 16oz ribeye was cooked to perfection and had a very nice sear on the outside with great flavor. Finished with a nice refreshing creme brullee.

Always awesome to eat here! Just amazing consistent execution time and time again. Thank you Chef!

Food is outstanding and so is the service. The bread pudding was delicious. The ribeye was so tender I did not need a knife! Definitely will be back soon!
Eleni
Wow!! Wow!! Just wow!! Delicious food and delicious taste !! Every bite was sooo satisfying and delicious!! A very big chef's kiss to the Chef.

What a great restaurant! 4 of us had the goat cheese/apple salad, medium rare ribeye steak au poirve with red wine reduction, short ribs, scallops, crème brule, and chocolate brownie with strawberry sorbet. All dishes were perfection. Hostess/waitress/sommelier Irena is charming and the wife of the chef. She used the proper wine thief tool to remove the cork on a 40 year old Bordeaux and did so perfectly.

Lucio's far exceeded my expectations. The ambiance is modern and romantic in an intimate space. The walls are covered with sensual artwork from the owner's wife.
The food was outstanding across the board. The beef carpaccio was slightly salty but was still very flavorful. The spinach dip, served with crisp fried chips, was a comforting starter. The sea bass special with risotto and crab meat was delicious. The duck breast was tender, and the sea scallops with risotto were simply amazing.
For dessert, we ordered the vanilla bean creme brûlée, brownie with raspberry sorbet, and apple pie à la mode, The whole table agreed that the creme brûlée was the best. The other desserts were good as well but didn't top the creme brûlée.
What truly made this a great experience was the service. Irina was remarkable and wears many hats - owner, artist, hostess and server. Despite being the only server in the restaurant, she managed many tables effortlessly. She was attentive, personable, and incredibly friendly, making us feel well cared for throughout the night. Her memory is impressive - she didn't write anything down yet got every detail perfect.
There is valet and street parking available. Would highly recommend this restaurant, and I will definitely be back.
So thrilled we found this hidden gem! Food was superb & service wonderful! We will go back again & again.

Lucios keeps getting better and better. The food and service was over the top. Hanger steak was the best that I have had and the barrimundi special was very special. The cheese plate was a real treat and was a substantial quantity. All of our desserts were outstanding and our party of 6 had everything that was offered. The service was unbeatable and sets a very high bar. Lucios is becoming our favorite restaurant in a city that is full of great places.

Always great food and service. They are so talented and always do everything the absolute best they can. The duck is the best in town, as are the lamb chops. You won't be disappointed. Make sure you get a reservation as they stay busy.

We had the salmon (well done), ribeye steak (medium rare), and hangar steak (medium) for a trio dinner! Main courses were delicious - well presented, generous in portion, tenderly prepared (exactly as ordered!) with perfect pairings of carbohydrate and vegetables. Appetizers of fried calamari and kale salad never disappoint. Calamari was super crispy, well flavored with a perfect dipping sauce! Chef's extraordinary culinary skills and produce freshness are consistent and on point, always. Dessert was butterscotch pudding and brownie - these were delectable. Highly recommend!
Ken
As always, excellent service and quality food prepared exactly as requested. A guaranteed exceptional dinning experience which is why we have been going for more than ten years and will continue to do so!

We were there for our anniversary and we arrived early for our reservation. We were seated right away. The service was great and the food was excellent. We highly recommend this place and would go back in the future!
