We have been visiting Lucio’s for more than 10 years. I almost always order the tuna and my husband’s favorite is the duck. I ordered the brownie for dessert last night. I had been thinking about it all week. So gooey and fantastic! And warmed up!! It is one of the best brownies in the city. So good!!!

We can always count on good food and service at Lucio’s. We’ve dined at Lucio’s hundreds of times since they opened almost 20 years ago, and we’ve never been disappointed. Lots of trendy places have come and gone with lots of hype, noise, and crowds, while Lucio’s continues to quietly serve gourmet cuisine in pleasant surroundings with unobtrusive service. The BYOB option allows us to enjoy a much nicer bottle of wine than if we were paying the usual restaurant markup.

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.
