    My mom and I enjoyed a wonderful holiday lunch, which has become an annual tradition for us. Our meal was prepared to perfection, and the service we received was outstanding. Our servers were attentive and friendly, and we were made to feel welcomed. The restaurant was decorated tastefully for the holidays, which added a special touch. Everything we ordered- salads, penne with vodka sauce, and filet of sole- was prepared and presented with great care and attention to detail. The strawberry mojitos were excellent, as well. We greatly appreciate how well the staff worked together to provide such a memorable dining experience for us.

    The chicken parmigiana and chicken saltimbocca were very good. We were overcharged for the mussels compared to the price on the menu. All in all, a good meal. We will return.

    this was my second time visiting Lucio’s. I am pleased to say my experience was just as nice. My husband and I were greeted and seated immediately. water and bread were immediately brought to the table. Our waiter Carlos, took our drink order and informed us of the specials .  in no time, our drinks were served, and Carlos took our order.  the dining room is very warm with  soft, white walls with black accents, and white linens, white China, and sparkling crystal. my husband and I both opted for soup as an appetizer. I had lobster bisque which was prepared exactly the way it should be. My husband thoroughly enjoyed his French onion soup.  for my entrée, I had a special, Pesto risotto with rock shrimp. It was heavenly, creamy and al dente, with the Perfect balance of basil, garlic. Olive oil, etc. my husband chose chicken franchese. It was lightly battered in a lemon butter sauce with fresh vegetables, also thoroughly enjoyed.. For dessert, we split Keylime pie, which we had on a previous occasion . outstanding. this restaurant will definitely be one of my top picks for 2025 , delicious food, very warm and accommodatimg staff, inviting ambience ...
