Great service and food

by Doublewheelranch

Food was very good, service even better. Nice setting, is casual but feels more. Appetizer's are great; crabcakes and LumpCrab; fish fresh and well prepared and presented. BYOWine is a great plus. Prices very resonable for the quality of food and service. Will go back until have tried all on menu, it was that good.

• Pros: Service
• Cons: parking

My favorite restaurant in Houston

by CDNMeg

I actually signed up for a CitySearch account just so I could give Lucio's the kudos it deserves! I am from Canada, most recently Montreal, and have found restaurant food in Houston underwhelming at best. Not so at Lucio's though...I rarely go out of my way to return to local eateries for a second go, but have been to this fabulous place 6 + times and counting! It is my go-to restaurant when planning get-togethers with friends, birthday parties, or just a nice evening away from my own kitchen. The food is delicious, and the staff is courteous and attentive beyond compare! I must also add that I am both gluten and lactose intolerant, and have never had a problem placing special orders here. I have even ordered "off menu" and asked the chef to prepare me special dishes on occasions when I've had cravings for certain ingredients, and have been catered to every time! The BYOB aspect is another plus. I disagree with other reviewers that food is overpriced as a result. In fact, I find Lucio's to be very reasonable; even more so because you're not paying outrageous mark-ups on wine.

• Pros: Great food; attentive, courteous staff; accomodating to special dietary needs
• Cons: Limited parking in front, but not a problem if you don't mind walking a little bit!

Best BYOB in Midtown!

by GGDance

I'm a regular at Lucio's and even when it was Annabelle's Diner....very conveniently located in the Midtown area. The owner, John, makes it a point to go around and visit the patrons. The waiter, Melvin, treats you like your family. The other parttime waiters, Cory and Jammer are very friendly and service is outstanding. I can honestly say I've never had a bad meal there. The chef is very accommodating to your diets needs and will cook to please.

My favorite dish is the scallops and risotto and the bread pudding for dessert is absolutely delicious!

What I love about this place is Lucio's does not rush you in trying to turn tables, they allow you to enjoy your wine and visit. This place is great for a first date.

Lucio's is a five star restaurant to me!!
