This is one of our favorite restaurants. It is small and intimate but casual at the same time. The owners are hard working and the food is excellent. Everyone we have taken there loves it.

As usual, everything about this local, husband and wife run restaurant was outstanding. The menu is not huge but has every type of entree one could want -- fish, chicken, steak, pork belly, rack of lamb and short ribs. The couple that run and operate this restaurant are friendly, professional, and hard working. They have earned our repeat business and will continue to do so. If you have not been here, bring your own bottle of wine (or two) and you will not regret it.

This is the second time we’ve been to Lucio’s. We liked it so much the first time that we took friends for a special occasion. Lucio’s did not disappoint at all. We had a nice relaxing evening with our guests. The food was amazing. The restaurant is it so noisy that you can’t have a conversation. Service was attentive but let us relax and enjoy so we didn’t feel rushed. We will certainly be back.
