    Comp side salad
    Mike M.

    Lucio's is a new Italian restaurant located on Hwy 249 about 1.5 miles south of the beltway. It is in a strip center end cap with plenty of parking available in front on a well lit parking lot. Inside it's quite large but at this time they are only using one half of the interior. It is a table service restaurant. Every meal comes with a complimentary warm bread roll and butter along with a nice side salad. My meals for lunch and dinner have been: Crawfish shrimp and linguini scampi for $21. This has been my favorite meal here. The bowl had plenty of shrimp and crawfish along with spinach, mushrooms and lemon in a butter sauce over the pasta. (4.5). The build your own pizza with 3 toppings for $9! Yeah that's right! I asked for beef, mushrooms and onions and it arrived on a 12" pie. For $9! Amazing. They have other specialty 12" pizzas for about $13. Real deals! And mine was delicious (4). By the way you still get the bread and salad too. Another visit was for the chicken cacciatore for $17. This meal came with the chicken, onions, mushrooms and peppers in a marinade sauce with pasta shells and grilled veggies. This meal was just ok in taste and my least favorite of meals I have sampled here (3). The veggies need to be flavored better if they are going to be on the plate. Finally I had the traditional spaghetti with meat sauce for $18. This was a large serving and tasted good (3.5). It was a filling meal and fits the bill for Italian comfort food. During my visits the table service has been warm and friendly. I know they are new but I hope more people eat here because attendance has been low during all of my visits. This part of Houston isn't known for many good restaurants but this is one for sure. It's only about a 5-6 minute drive from Willowbrook Mall on Hwy 249. Come eat here!

    Veal Scallopini and capers
    Lucy L.

    We ordered Grubhub and the food came perfectly warm and delicious. The portions were more than enough. We ordered a traditional 9" pizza with pepperoni, prosciutto, and meatball. The best pizza I've had, not greasy and the crust was thin just the way I like it. Also ordered Crawfish and Shrimp Linguine Scampi, it was so good. The butter sauce was light with a hint of white wine. My husband had the Veal Scallopini with caper piccata. He said the veal was cooked perfectly. The rolls were soft and good too. We will definitely visit the restaurant soon.

    Salad and garlic rolls!

    First time here and all I can say is WOW! This place knows what they're doing! Food was delicious and the friendly service only made everything that much better! I had the roasted gnocchi with blackened shrimp and I was amazing!

    Trying Lucille's Italian restaurant for the first time. This place just opened up 2-3 months ago. You get salad upon any pasta dish.

    This restaurant has probably been open for 2 to 3 months. I had my first meal. And it was really delicious. Can't wait to try the rest of the menu. The only complaint I have is that their roles are not the best. I'm used to eating at Adriatic Café and their buttery rolls are to die for. But the food was really fresh and amazing. Again, can't wait to try the rest of the menu. Adriatic Café does give you a bigger portions for a better price. This restaurant is literally right across from where I live. Super close & convenient. The staff is a phenomenal. Had great customer service & great recommendations. I ordered Alfredo for my son to go. I'll have to review that another time.

    Softshell crab and shrimp with delicious vegetables and garlic, mashed potatoes

    We read some reviews on yelp and it seemed to have a great rating so we thought we would check it out. The outside of the restaurant is very unassuming, but the ratings were great. We walked into the restaurant and it smelled amazing! Very friendly staff seated us. We ordered an appetizer with sausage, which is my husband's favorite and he said it was amazing. My husband ordered the fettuccine Alfredo, which is his favorite and he said it was delicious. I strayed from the Italian theme and ordered the softshell crab and shrimp. The garlic mashed potatoes were very flavorful. (I ate every bite!). The seafood was cooked perfectly. It also came with the vegetable of the day, which was two types of squash, which was incredibly tasty. Everything was cooked to perfection. Please give this place a try. The food is excellent and the wait staff is so friendly. Great prices and delicious food.

    First time trying Lucio's Italian Grill. Food was delicious, hot and fresh. Friendly service.

    Writing this review as I'm waiting for my Togo order. I'm already giving it 5 stars because the service was awesome. The guy (I didn't get his name) is so friendly and even gave me an extra bread it looked slow in there, but everything looked so clean and well organized. Definitely give this place a try too!

    Tiramisu - perfection.

    Food is top tier, delivered by excellent service. Family friendly and warm ambiance.

    Idk why some folks are hootin n hollerin about the rules page on the menu- everything written there…read more isn't anything out of the ordinary and makes sense. Some of y'all are silly gooses Anyway, my friend and I came by on a Thursday night and it was pretty busy! The inside of the restaurant is decorated with so many Italian knick knacks which gives this place a cozy vibe. Instead of ordering an appetizer and an entree, my friend and I decided to order 3 things from the appetizer menu: Arancini Montanare Impepata Napoletana The arancini was delicious! The exterior/crust wasn't too thick and was fried nicely. As for the filling, it had cheese, beef, and tomato sauce- yum! I really enjoyed the montanare because it came with 3 different toppings. Not to mention, the bread was fantastic! All 3 were great but my favorite was the one with smoked provolone, anchovy, and the red chili on top (I believe that's what the red topping is). The Impepata Napoletana was another solid dish- loved the white wine sauce with garlic and pepper. Although it was a tad bit too salty for me, it paired nicely with the bread. For dessert, my friend got the pistachio gelato and I ordered the Tiramisu. Both were a great way to end dinner. Food was wonderful, our waiter was very friendly/welcoming, and the vibes were lovely. This spot is a gem!

    Cute idea in theory. Booths are uncomfortable - seats too wide and tall to accommodate leg length…read moreand tables wobbly). Restaurant is kitschy with its decor. It is a family place - kids everywhere, climbing booths and kicking seats - not the staff's fault, but know that your kiddos will feel at home here. Staff was very apologetic but was unable to offer any of their specialty items due to understaffing or lack of availability of ingredients (server was unclear). Drove an hour and a half for nothing, it seems. Disappointing... What we did get was tasty, but it wasn't what I wanted and therefore did not redeem the trip. The cost was not worth it, in my opinion.

Here everything was hot and fresh and flavorful. First off, get the Zucca chips. I could literally eat a whole basketful. I need to figure out what slicer and oil they use because I can never get mine this thin and crispy. We then Arugula and Avocado salad, which was light and refreshing. Then onto the Cacio e Pepe Arancini. Cacio e Pepe is my favorite pasta, so I was a little disappointed they don't have it on the menu as a dish itself, but the arancini was delicious! For mains, my husband had the salmon. We ordered it medium and it came more well done, however, it was perfectly crispy on the outside and still moist in the center. Very tasty. I had the ricotta cavatelli, which might be the best pasta I've ever had. The shrimp were so plump and fresh. There was plenty of crab throughout. And the flavor had the perfect amount of salt and spice. My husband, who isn't a pasta person loved it too. It's a nice open space and service was friendly. We will definitely return to try more things.

I started with a cocktail, which was super refreshing and well-balanced. For food, I got the spicy vodka rigatoni and it did not disappoint. creamy, flavorful, with just the right amount of heat.

We took the servers recommendation, and got a side of vodka sauce to go with the bread. I also had the Caesar salad, which was fresh, crisp, and a great balance to everything else. Everything came out tasting amazing and the service was great too. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    I really wanted to like this place. I first tried their pasta when a friend cooked it for me, and…read moreit was great, so I went there myself. I bought lobster ravioli, four-cheese ravioli, and pasta sauce. Lobster ravioli is $2.40 each so I paid $24 for the box. When I opened it to cook, I only found 9 ravioli inside. I wouldn't have written this review if it had been just one missing. Then, when I put the cheese ravioli in boiling water, I found a bug floating in it. Will I go back? I'm not sure. It's such a shame because their ravioli and sauce taste so good.

I love…read morethe idea and being able to make it at home with fresh ingredients without actually having to make my own at home and no preservatives. With that said, I was unfortunate to have encounter mold in the sauce. Luckily I didn't heat it up. There's no preservatives so it doesn't last as long. They need to have a way to date the containers for each items they make. I just bought it last night and was quite upset when I was making late dinner. As soon as I got home, I kept everything refrigerated. Luckily I didn't mix it in with the pasta so I end up using a different sauce I already had on hand. Pasta are delicious and I would come back, if I'm in the area and planning to cook it within the same day or next. I don't think I can try any of their sauce. My tip to you is to inspect all of your items prior to purchasing. Sauce are hard to look through the containers so I hope they change their ways and just date their food items since everything doesn't have preservatives. Limited parking right in front but didn't see any other customers there. The lady at the register was nice but limited English.
