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

Top flight italian at sydney legend. Dine surrounded by walls jammed with original works by some of Australia's best artists. Expensive but well worth it More

It was my birthday so looking forward to a nice italian meal and something crispy cold to drink. 45 minutes after sitting down I still didn't have anything to drink. More

Given that Lucio's has been around for such a long time, we thought we would give it another go- hoping that longevity was a sign of quality. This place looks the part, it has a certain warmth and the service was friendly. However the food really isn't that good. The zucchini flowers were tasteless and my main was mediocre at... More

We are working our way through the SMH Good Food Guide and today its Lucio’s turn. The restaurant is located in leafy Windsor Street in the suburb of Paddington. We have always wanted to try this restaurant as many times we have driven past and wondered how it fares compared to other 5* restaurants in the SMH Good Food Guide.... More
