About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Great for outdoor dining
  • 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. Inspired by the flavors of the extraordinary Italian kitchen and the warmth of Sunday family gatherings, The Mazon family dreamt of creating a place that served exquisite Italian cuisine and embodied the essence of the Italian way of life.

    This is our second time here and we thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. We went on a Thursday so the dining room was quiet. There was an outdoor car event with exotic cars with a good crowd. Our server was very attentive and pleasant. The wine list is manageable with some modest choices as well. We had simple selections including chicken parm that was at another level due to their delicious fresh sauce. My wife had the chicken Milanese and she enjoyed it. Their creme brûlée is traditional and delish as was the tarte tatin. Pricing is in line with most typical restaurants and was worth the price.

    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.
