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!
