We absolutely loved Lucio’s. We celebrated our anniversary and received amazing service from all of the staff. The food was even better than the service. We started with the Crab Cake which we highly recommend. The chicken and the hanger steak we equally delicious. To finish off we had the bread pudding which is now my favorite dessert. As we left we thanked the kitchen staff and we were greeted very graciously by the Chef. We cannot wait to go back!

Lucio's was the best dinner we had while visiting Houston and it exceeded my expectations even from its great reviews! Shoutout to our waitress Irina. We had the lamb and the short rib. The short rib looked like a brownie on top of that yummy risotto and it melts in your mouth. The whole dish was impeccably crafted, with the greens and citrus foam melding so nicely into the flavors. The lamb's herb crust was amazing and it was cooked perfectly. I don't eat buckwheat basically ever and the buckwheat and chorizo side for the lamb was so good. Not pictured (because we ate it too fast) is the crab cake starter which has no fillers and all crab goodness. I'm a bit picky about crab cake and it was amazing. And the dessert!! The apple pie absolutely blew me away. It was rich and perfectly sweet. I am a huge fan of a good creme brulee and the texture of theirs was perfect and the flavors were so smooth and delicious. The blueberries were mulled in some herb that sang with the creme brulee.

This is me and my best friend's go-to spot for our monthly dates. It's located right next to Bludorn, a larger and bustling steakhouse. So it's almost easy to overlook Lucio's with its simplistic exterior. But that's exactly why you need to dine there. The atmosphere is more relaxed, the service spectacular, and the food is on par (if not better) than Bludorn. We love it so much, we've made it our official "girls night" BYOB hangout.

This was our first time dining at Lucio's and we will definitely be back! Walking in we were greeted by the chef who then explained the menu to us and asked us if we had any questions before our server came to take our order. Our server was so delightful. We were a party of 4, 2 of us had the mushroom soup and the other 2 the goat cheese salad to start. Both were delicious. For our entrees, 2 had the short ribs, 1 the Tuna and the other the Red snapper. All of us were very pleased with our selections! We all can't wait to come back and try some other items on the menu.
