I have been to Lucio’s several times and it is consistently wonderful. Whether you take your own wine or not is your choice. The corkage fee is reasonable. The wines they have at the restaurant are good. The food is amazing! We went prior to a theater show downtown and it was a good location for that.

Totally wonderful place. Focused and high quality menu, superb service and very knowledgeable hostess. The best feature if the BYOB. Others mark wine up by ~250% thus no sensible person would enjoy premium wine with their meal. Luico's policy is a winner. Intend to dine there many times.

Heard about Lucio a lot from friends. Finally, tried it last night. Outstanding! OMGGG food is simply delicious - flavor and presentation. Chef is very talented! The place is small but cozy, loved beautiful art on the walls. Service is very good. I had a duck and my husband had a short rib. Amazing! And desert - the bread pudding is the the best I ever had! BYOB - which is great option with $10 corkage. Highly recommend if you have not been to Lucio.
