I want to say thank you for making my monumental birthday celebration WONDERFUL. I LOVED all the gluten free options and the food was phenomenal,(superior food quality). Our server was caring and very knowledgeable on gluten free because she has the diet restriction as well. The ambience was cozy and not too loud. I’d like to try the outdoor patio next time. You can tell everyone there takes pride in their work. Something that’s getting very difficult to find these days. This is definitely a fine dining restaurant we want to support and will be visiting often! THANK YOU!

Absolutely Fabulous! What a fine dining experience should be. And BYOB is a significant plus. The food was flawless. Barramundi with crab and Parmesan risotto, Scallops over a butternut risotto and an apple and field green salad with goat cheese and walnuts. A perfect evening can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu

Quaint little space that’s packs a knock out punch!
The experience starts with Waitress irina’s knowledge of the menu and assertive personality. We ordered 4 mains and they were all incredible. Could not pick a favorite dish: the short rib melts away as soon as you touch it, the lamb was cooked to perfection : moist with crunchy exterior, the pork belly was a perfect bite. Then desert came…. Who knew bread pudding was so good. I love the French press coffee at the end an unusual but appreciated touch. The atmosphere is so laid but for such an upscale (taste and price) place. No one is rushing you off to turn over tables at the end of the meal.
Lovely experience we will be back

Amazing find! Truly a 5 Star Restaurant with awesome personal attention by the staff. I've been there 3 times now with my wife Carol. Best and thickest Rib Eye Steak and Stacked Potatoes in Houston! The rest of the menu is amazing as well! Superb atmosphere, amazing vibe, will continue going back and will tell my extended family, friends, and staff! Way to go, Lucio's, the best kept secret in Houston, Texas!

Brought our own wine for dinner and absolutely enjoyed the whole experience. $10 corking fee was very reasonable. Service was great and the food was amazing. Ordered the lamb and the hangar steak and both were excellent. The steak had a bit charred flavor with chimichurri and was delicious. The apple pie for dinner was unique and very tasty. Will be back!

The excitement of the kitchen is noticable as you walk in with amazing plates on display for a quick glance right before they get whisked away to tables. The food and service were on point with the option to BYOB, which is a benefit our group completely capitalized on. If you're a fan try the ribeye, lamb chops, mushroom soup or the crab cakes. Your taste buds will thank you later.

We went to dinner yesterday. I want to start by saying Irina should train every single hostess out there, she is very funny and will take care of you like you’ve been coming in for decades. The place is warm, cozy, and has an elegant ambiance. The music level was just right - jazz.
Onto the food,
1. Bread with homemade pesto - could smell it coming 😂 so good!
2. Soup of the day - mushroom - like a hug from your grandmother
3. 36 hour short rib:
The portion is absolutely perfect for 1 person. presentation 10/10, flavor 11/10 when balanced with the crisp greens served aside. The citrus foam was a lovely palette cleanser between each bite. Parmesan risotto right at the consistency, but perhaps too salty for my preference.
If BYOB wasn’t enough - their wine list is pretty decently priced and has a couple of fancy options for a special occasion
All in all, a winner. Makes me want to be a regular

Great food and service. I'm glad I finally got a chance to try this place out. It's such a cute & quaint kind of place - great for a date night or dinner with a group of friends. The menu is small; but what they do with what they offer is phenomenal. Biggest scallops I've ever seen, and cooked perfectly. The pictures don't do it justice. They are huge. Everything tasted delicious and the service was so friendly and accommodating. You can also BYOB or get a bottle from their reasonably priced wine list, you can't ask for anything more.

Love this place. Today was our first experience and we had the crab cake, mushroom soup, beef short rib and ribeye steak special. For dessert we had the creme brûlée and brioche bread pudding. The waitress was great - very knowledgeable and knew exactly how to describe their menu. I also saw her coaching other staff in a very nice way. Overall, a very nice experience and I’ll be back.

This is a hidden Gem of an Italian Cuisine that allows you and your party to bring your own bottles of wine. The food was delicious and the service was on point.
Beatrice Wong
$8 BYOB per bottle. Food is delicious, recommend its lamb and duck. Salmon appetiser is of small portion. Friendly service. Valet available. Or best uber/lyft is planning to drink a lot.

Carpaccio is good. Scallops (not pictured) are excellent here. The lamb was good, but the ribeye steak special was excellent. Service is spot on and knowledgeable staff. Lucio's has been knocking out great meals for over 10 years. Tasty crabcakes. This place is BYOB which makes an excellent place for many who are always looking for a place that serves really good food and you're able to bring your own wine.
Paul Ziegler
Very delicious, very high quality ingredients. Filet mignon was perfectly cooked. My only gripe is that the sides are a bit sparse and too minimalistic for my taste. The desserts (crème brûlée and apple pie) were really really good.
Bryan Hassin
We ordered six items off the winter menu; one was just fine and the other five were delicious! Considering that you can BYOB, this place is always a great value!
Luis Acosta
The food is exquisite and don't miss the heavenly desserts. It's a special culinary experience.

First time at Lucio's and let me say...WOW!!!! I was looking for a BYOB spot that had a nice atmosphere for dinner and a memorable meal....and by far, this was the place. Love the small, intimate feel I experienced as soon as I walked through the door. With the open kitchen, amazing aromas in the air, tasteful decor and evening mood lighting....what a perfect first impression. Service and hospitality are on point....and the food....AMAZING. Attention to detail on plating, we eat with our eyes :), portion size, and flavors....every bite was memorable.
Started out with the Parmiggino-Reggiano Risotto with Lump Crab Meat...good lord. I had Hagner's Hanger Steak cooked spot on medium rare and melted in my mouth. Their version of chimichurri will bring me back to order this again. My friend had the Australian Rack of Lamb and wished we had not eaten all of the Risotto we had for an appetizer...lol.
For dessert, we order the Vanilla Bean Orange Bourbon Creme Brûlée....wasn't a huge fan of the orange flavor, but it was still good. Next time will be the Brownie for sure.
If your a foodie, and love a great atmosphere and the ability to bring one or two of your favorite wines and not have to be screwed with the normal 2.5 - 3 x markup restaurants normally put on wine....then THIS IS YOUR SPOT! Just please, save me a table :)

Sea bass, is a must try - I would have taken a pic but we dug in and did not stop until all gone! Filet mignon, scallops and ribeye tasty - atmosphere low but service high definitely a redo

Great food with reasonable price despite small place. The fish was fresh and very tasty.
