Lucio glides from table to table, the consummate host, greeting locals, making new-comers feel like part of the family, reciting daily specials with a flourish and enthusiasm that makes you want to order every one of them. When Lucio & Sally Galletto opened this restaurant Paddington over 30 years ago, neighbouring artists soon cottoned on to Lucio’s seriously good northern... More

Lucios is that kind of place were you know what you are going to order because you know what's good is good. If I go there I order the black squid ink pasta which is always amazing & an affogato. If I go outside this it might be good it might not. Although I did have the hung ricotta &... More

I have eaten at Lucio's twice in the last few months - once with two others for an intimate birthday celebration and recently at a private birthday party in the private room. On both occasions and in two different sections of the restaurant, I found the quality of food excellent, and thoroughly enjoyable. The service was "authentic" and unobtrusive. I... More

Lucio's in Paddington, Sydney has always had a reputation as a quality "special occasion" restaurant, so it was an obvious choice for our group of six to celebrate a birthday, a wedding anniversary and a house purchase. We had entrees, mains and three bottles of wine and it cost $275 per couple. Had the food been fabulous it would have... More

I've been to Lucio's twice now, and both times the service has been pleasant and the theatrics of the Italian accented waitstaff entertaining. But I have to say that for the steep prices ($600 lunch on my last visit), the menu ranges from exquisite to bland-o. You can't go wrong with a pasta dish. It's hand made and melts in... More

We went to lunch with family and friends, including two young children. The service was impeccable and no-one looked down their nose at us when the young people got out their drawing books. The artworks in the restaurant are fabulous, you cannot help but wander around the restaurant to view them all. We stayed for four hours and ate the... More
