There are not enough great things to say about Lucio's and the owner/chef and his wife make you feel as though your are special guests in their home. The food and service is beyond compare and the attention to detail and presentation is spectacular as is the quality and taste of every dish. You can taste the love that goes into each and every dish they serve.

As usual, the food and service were outstanding. I always thought the rack of lamb was the best I have ever had but John outdid himself this time. Perfectly cooked. Irena also outdid herself on her apple pie. The steak also gets rave review from our group. Let John decide the best temperature for the entrees. You will not find better service. The prices are very good compared to other high end restaurants in town. Not pretentious. The venue is BYOB with no corkage fee on Wednesday. Even so, the corkage fee on other days is very reasonable. Lucio's is as good as it gets.

I have been to Lucio’s several times and it is consistently wonderful. Whether you take your own wine or not is your choice. The corkage fee is reasonable. The wines they have at the restaurant are good. The food is amazing! We went prior to a theater show downtown and it was a good location for that.
