    As always. An exceptional experience. Food is simply amazing and as near to authentic Italian as you would get outside of Italy. Top drawer cooking and first rate service. We couldn’t recommend Lucio highly enough. Trust me. Try the burrata, the suckling pig and the tiramisu. If you don’t. You missed out.

    A friendly welcome set us up for a good start. The menu is fabulous lots of small plates we had 3 between 2 of us absolutely delicious. Then we had pasta my pumpkin filled pasta was the star of the show! We didn’t order a main course as we wanted desert but the mains on the other tables looked fabulous. Sicilian wine was great served by the glass and a port to finish. Great staff and lovely place.

    Amazing food and a delicious flavor. Ordered a suggestion from the waiters Amanda for my main and I really loved. Service was excellent, time to time coming to the table and asking how was everything and checking the wine on the glass. Even thought the staff was busy by herself, but yet she did a great service. Complements to the chef(s). 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I would really recommend and come back for sure.
