About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Neighborhood gem

Formerly known as Locale Ristorante, the new owners have decided to change the name to Lucio's.
In the heart of the charming and diverse suburban town of Closter, New Jersey, there lies a culinary gem named Lucio's. This eatery is more than just a restaurant; it celebrates Italian tradition, love, and gastronomic excellence.

Lucio's was born from the passion and vision of a local family, culinary virtuosos with roots deeply embedded in the rich taste of Italy.

    The setting is beautiful and our entrees were good. The service was not. Waiter never checked in after busboy delivered food. A glass of wine we ordered from the busboy arrived when we were finished eating.

    Lucio has been our favorite restaurant for years, and we often go there even when it’s not a special occasion. We’re always impressed with both the taste and the price.

    Never again. I’ve been to Lucio’s many times, and while the food is consistently good, I will never return after my most recent experience. I visited Lucio’s with my family on Mother’s Day and had a 6:00 PM reservation. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the hostess (a shorter woman) in a way that made us feel like we were intruding or didn’t belong there. It was an uncomfortable and unwelcoming start to what was meant to be a special evening. We were seated in the back room, directly facing a long table piled with dirty dishes. We assumed the table would be cleared shortly, but to our surprise, it remained that way for the entire duration of our visit. After sitting down, we waited for about seven minutes before anyone acknowledged us or brought menus. We were on the verge of leaving when a waiter or possibly a manager finally came over with them. While other tables were served bread as a standard part of the meal, we had to request it—and it didn’t arrive until after our food had already been served. Overall, the service was inattentive and disappointing, especially on a day that should have felt celebratory. Unfortunately, despite the good food, the lack of hospitality and poor service have left a lasting negative impression.
