Lucio

My best ever New Years Eve 2011 was at Lucio surrounded by beautiful people, smart decorative tables and with lovely music.

The food to die for.....

Well done Lucio and Staff

Happy New Year and keep up!!!

Lucio - a (now former) neighborhood favourite although slightly samey menu and variable quality. 7th or 8th visit in past year. 7:50 pm. Tables half empty. Us: 'May we sit in the main restaurant?'. Maitre d' disappears into main restaurant, silently counts to 5, reappears: 'No - and if you're not happy, you can leave'.Us: 'But we asked when we made the reservation'. Maitre d: ''No. And I never make promises'. Maitre d' shrugs and promptly shows newly-arrived party to their table in main restaurant. Our friends arrive and we depart, leaving Lucio to its more docile and venerable clientele. Later that same evening...Restaurant 'B'. 8:30 pm and no reservation. Neighborhood favourite slightly samey menu although this time, it's classic French. 3rd or 4th visit in past year. The place is packed. Maitre d' smiles and guides us to a nice table at the back of the restaurant. Good food, great wine and a couple of desserts. Prompt, friendly service. Great atmosphere. Tip: if you can't stand the unjustified arrogance of Lucio, there are plenty of better spots close by. The name of restaurant 'B', by the way, means 'dovecote' in English - it's a 5 minute stroll round the corner.

This is a rather splendid restaurant. I've eaten here 3 times now, and had 3 excellent meals. It's a bit pricey compared with many other Italian restaurants in London, but it just goes to show that you get what you pay for.

Each time, I've had good quality ingredients, perfectly cooked, expertly presented, and professionally served. What more could you ask?

Top tip: if you go at lunchtime, it's considerably less expensive than in the evenings, and probably brings it into the "what a bargain!" category.

Possibly the best Italian restaurant in town, by the words of an Italian, thanks to whom we discovered it.

It offers the perfect combination of delicious regional food and very interesting seasonal dishes, which you don't see in the average Italian restaurant. The ingredients are extremely fresh, and I can testify of that as the white truffle of my poached egg was actually sprinkled on my dish in front me, which also adds to the great experience.

To summarise, all the dishes of our party were amazing, from starters to desserts (although I am usually not a big fan of Italian desserts).

The setting is smart yet unpretentious, and the service smooth and friendly in a family-run way.

Am a regular at Lucio's because they have consistently good food; sometimes original variations but always freshly sourced and tasty. I particularly like the octopus carpaccio starter (when its on the menu) and their fresh fish.

This family run affair, contrary to some Italian restaurants where big personalities overwhelm and intimidate, works really well with the warmth and efficiency of the mother, father and son combination never faltering and always keen to provide good service.

The restaurant is nearly always full when Ive been there but they have always tried to oblige if I haven't booked.

Would highly recommend.

Great food, but what booooorrrring staff - not a smile from any of them, and far too many just hanging around looking disinterested. Not a great atmosphere. Disappointing.
