Neighbourhood gem
Great for outdoor dining
Good for special occasions

Formerly known as Locale Ristorante, the new owners have decided to change the name to Lucio's.
In the heart of the charming and diverse suburban town of Closter, New Jersey, there lies a culinary gem named Lucio's. This eatery is more than just a restaurant; it celebrates Italian tradition, love, and gastronomic excellence.

Lucio's was born from the passion and vision of a local family, culinary virtuosos with roots deeply embedded in the rich taste of Italy. Inspired by the flavors of the extraordinary Italian kitchen and the warmth of Sunday family gatherings, The Mazon family dreamt of creating a place that served exquisite Italian cuisine and embodied the essence of the Italian way of life.

Lucio’s represents what happens when a good but neglected restaurant (Locale) is refreshed and updated by new ownership. The food and drinks were always good, but now the setting is upgraded to match.

We had great service (Carlos) and a very nice meal of the shrimp cocktail (standard), meatball, mussels in white wine & veal saltimboca (tender but use less spinach). I do think the meatball could have been seasoned a bit more but otherwise good overall w proper texture. We sat outside which was lovely so noise level was fine. We will definitely be back 👍🏼
