Lucio's

Lucio's offers a high-end yet fun dining experience. We were warmly greeted by the owner, who not only manages the front of the house but also contributes to the dessert menu. It's BYOB with a $10 corkage fee. The complimentary bread was outstandingly pesto-flavored and freshly made in-house.Our meal included beef carpaccio, crab cake, goat cheese salad, short rib, butternut squash, duck, and apple pie. The carpaccio sparked debate--too salty for my husband, not enough for me, but we enjoyed it nonetheless. The butternut squash was simply prepared and perfect for our baby.The short rib and duck were exceptionally cooked--textbook perfection, paired with creamy, subtly flavored risotto that balanced the boldness of the meats.The highlight was the apple pie, topped with mascarpone whipped cream, soft and perfectly sweet apple filling, and an amazing caramel sauce with a hint of acidity. If available, don't miss it!

Been holding out for this spot (idk why!!) and it was well worth the wait.Standouts were the steamed clams and chorizo, goat cheese Apple salad, and the no corkage fee on Wednesday nights.It's truly a "refined and relaxed" atmosphere. No silly fluff and I appreciate that.They have a great wine selection if you don't have time to swing by a store beforehand!

25th wedding anniversary dinner was incredible! Found this gem online, and it was beyond expectations! Ambiance was fresh and romantic, gentle buzz of others enhanced the ambiance. Service was informed, owner and wife created a family feel the immediately wanted a second visit, and so knowledgeable of all items (definitely include the cheese board). We both had the "special" ribeye and halibut (fish of the day), and both were incredible. Dessert was apple pie baked 3 hours this morning. Porchini mushroom soup(from the movie "the rundown") is not to be skipped. Bring your own wine and tecorking fee excluded on Wednesdays makes for an exceptional anniversary date. We absolutely loved everything about our meal, service, and celebration (including a surprise celebratory dessert, candle included). All the stars, all the vibes, all the

I have been wanting to come here for years based on the great yelp reviews. There are always some bad reviews for every restaurant but those I chalk up to: psychos, people that are having a bad day, or just don't now any better. They are usually from people that are not doing reviews with any consistency so I ignore those. Fellow Yelpers did not disappoint on the crab cakes. I make crab cakes 1-2 a year for special occasions and I use a recipe that is a Robert Irvine/Tyler Florence amalgam. I don't like to use "best ever" as I could have another crab cake somewhere that is very different but also very good. This was a 10 out of 10. I am not even sure what the chef does for a binder because it's pretty much all crab meat. Also I am going to have to figure out how they are really seared and super crispy on top/bottom but it's not deep fried or again covered in breading. I would have like a little more of the sauce on the plate but we used all that was provided. That was my wife's starter I had the tomato and burrata salad which was super fresh and tasty. It went great with the crab cake also. The bread service is about the only thing that didn't seem inline with the rest of the dinner, we were very hungry when we got there but why fill up on bread? I had also read people rave about the steaks there which is odd to me. I eat a lot of steaks at great steak houses (Pappas, Mastros, Capital Grill, Flemings, Vic and Anthony's......) I would not go to Lucio's to have steak. If you thinking the same way you need to re-think your mindset when going there. The selection of steak is very narrow because it's not a steak house but if you are in the mood for a steak go there. My wife order the filet which comes with some layered potatoes. It was VERY VERY good. Expertly cooked and seasoned. I am not sure what we could have asked more from that plate. I had the short rib which was excellent. The risotto with the short rib perfect pair and don't eat one bit of that short rib without some risotto on the fork my friend. It wouldn't be justice to your taste buds. We also did desserts chocolate brownie and the "bubbles" special. The bubbles is they have it on special is definitely something to have with multiple people and dig in with spoons. Please is of course clean and very welcoming very much a sole proprietorship run by someone that cares about the product and that is present with all the staff. Service was great and not pretencious.Lastly, the place is know to BYOB (its in the name) There is no hard liquor there which probably makes it more laid back. We took some amazing bottles of wine with us that would have been $300+ so I have kids that need to go to college and am not a politician so can't be dropping $300-600 on wine for a dinner for two. They have a corking fee which I did not mind and we had white with starters and red with dinner and took both unfinished bottles back home. They do have a succinct wine list that is very reasonable for restaurant of this caliber so no need to bring wine if you don't want to.Lucio's is great for date night but I also saw groups of friends there having a great dinner. Definitely want to bring some friends there with a couple bottles of great wine.

A hidden gem! Loved my night here spent with my husband and two other couples. Intimate, quiet & so classy. The server, ambiance & all of the food we ordered were fantastic. The beef carpaccio, fish special entree & the crème brûlée were my favorites of the night but not a single dish was bad. A lot of the menu is gluten free as well which is impressive considering how good everything was. The guys all loved the brownie & bread pudding! Loved the byob option! Can't wait to go back soon!

This is a great place if you want a more intimate dinner with friends or a great date night too. The service was great from the valet to everyone on the inside of the restaurant. I believe our servers name was Irina, she was amazing! Truly related to each table. Offered us suggestions, had us laughing with her personable stories, and is such a nice surprise, she truly was a highlight of our dinner. As for the food, did not disappoint from what I've heard. Everything was cooked to perfection and the flavors were great. We had the calamari for appetizer and then I had the soup du jour and then the yellow fin tuna as an entree. My boyfriend had the lamb chops which were seasoned very well and were very good. I'd definitely recommend this place if you haven't been.

Finally made it here for a birthday dinner and had an awesome experience! Food was exquisite and service was excellent. Our server, Irina, was friendly, attentive, and on point. She really made the night perfect for our party of 4. My ribeye steak was perfectly seasoned and cooked to medium rare perfection. Scallops were tasty and tender, and the risotto was excellent. There is a reason they have been in business 17 years. We had a perfectly enjoyable intimate dinner tonite, and will be coming back in the future.

Went there for my Birthday in April and had a fabulous dinner!Service was outstanding and food was better than anything else I have had this year!Scallops were amazing!

We had a great dinner at Lucio's! It is truly a local gem--the restaurant has been around for a long time (10+ years maybe from looking at Yelp reviews?), and it is truly a hidden gem. Lucio's just feels like a real local restaurant--no flashiness, no gimmicks, just really good food and friendly service.To start, we ordered the goat cheese salad and crab cake to share--both were very good and a great combination too. For my meal, I ordered the scallops, which were excellent, but the real showstopper was the mushroom risotto that came with the scallops. For dessert, we shared a brownie--instead of the strawberry ice cream, we asked them to sub the vanilla ice cream, which request the restaurant happily did. The brownie was very fudgey and delicious. Just look at this list--goat cheese salad, scallops, brownie--nothing crazy but done very well.And any review of Lucio's wouldn't be complete without noting that it's BYOB, with a $10 corkage fee. But it looked like they do sell wine if you forget to bring a bottle of wine.

I don't usually post reviews, but since this was easily one of my top 5 dining experiences of all time, I wanted to make sure to pass along my compliments. The restaurant atmosphere is elegant, but not overstated, and it was not overly loud, even though we dined a Saturday night. The waitstaff are very knowledgeable and gave great suggestions on both food and wine. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. The crab cake appetizer was perfect, as were the steamed clams and chorizo. My short rib was extremely tender and paired well with the garlic risotto. While I loved my meal, my husband's tuna was even better! This is the best tuna I have ever tasted- practically melts in your mouth. Even though we were pretty full, we could not resist trying the creme brulee, and I'm glad we did. It was delicious, on par with the rest of our meal. Wonderful dining experience; I highly recommend giving Lucio's a try!
