Heard about Lucio a lot from friends. Finally, tried it last night. Outstanding! OMGGG food is simply delicious - flavor and presentation. Chef is very talented! The place is small but cozy, loved beautiful art on the walls. Service is very good. I had a duck and my husband had a short rib. Amazing! And desert - the bread pudding is the the best I ever had! BYOB - which is great option with $10 corkage. Highly recommend if you have not been to Lucio.

From the moment we walked in, we felt welcomed by Irina and Chef John who made our anniversary dinner one to remember! I brought my own bottle of wine for the occasion and had the pleasure of the chef opening the bottle and letting us know about the menu. Everything from the toast points/ bread to the dessert was phenomenal; you can tell the chef is passionate about what he is serving… especially after having the best short rib ever! (And of course the rack of lamb) We had a late reservation and even as the restaurant was closing, it continued to be busy all while Irina and the chef continued to be incredibly hospitable. The ambiance was very romantic and Irina was graceful in, what it seemed like, taking care of the entire restaurant. The attention to detail is incredible and something that will continue to bring me back. Thank you again for such an amazing night!

As great as the food was (I had the ribeye steak - it was phenomenal!), the service was even better. It was our first time there and it won’t be our last.

We had the crab cake & Apple / goat cheese salad absolutely wonderful. We shared the sea bass and filet for dinner. This was the best dinner out we have had in a long while. Would have been better if we could have gotten a couple of martinis but our wine was wonderful. Service was impeccable.
