    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.

    Absolutely incredible, every aspect, from the wonderful service and help wading through the wine list, to the ambiance and watching the fresh pasta being made, to the myriad of delicious dishes, everything was thought out so perfectly! The pumpkin agnolotti with sage butter and hazelnuts was a showstopper, so rich and smooth, every bite I took was followed by a smile. Also the bread and olive oil was divine, in addition to the suppli. All complimented so perfectly by the wine, it was a terrific experience :)
