Surprisingly nice and classy restaurant.
Although, Culpeper is a rising Little Star in terms of foodies…. This quiet, elegant classic-home-turned- restaurant, is a very lovely place for a romantic night out, a family get together or out with your friends.
I encourage you to give it a try.

Friendly Staff and Great Food. The shrimp salad was amazing. The chicken parm was perfect.The breading was fresh with the right amount of crunch. Great flavor. My wife enjoyed the wine. We don’t get out as much but will be going back. Very nice.

I really liked the place. The lunch menu was priced beautifully. The service was great. The food tasted well, and it had some flaws. The edges of the chicken were without moisture. My daughter could not cut through. She is 12,and cuts steak Fine. If it was not priced fair, I would have sent back. Their pasta side set up Is unique. They use tomatoe and Alfredo sauce. Tasted fair, I am a picky eater and was not a fan on the high contrast of acid and cream. Their bread was excellent. The decor and parking were excellent also. Would return. To give another try

Nostalgically delicious food, pretty interior, attentive staff.
I dined here with my partner on a Tuesday night. We had an unnecessary reservation, as we were among 4 diners in the restaurant. The wait staff were very polite, answering my questions about the history of the restaurant and checking in on us a proper amount.
We ordered two entrees: manicotti and an angel hair with meatballs. Both tasted delicious and reminded me of my childhood in an Italian-American home.
Even the background music was nostalgic, with songs like “Singing in the Rain”.
Overall, it was a lovely experience. I hope they see more business, as they deserve it.

I’m not much of an Italian food eater but this place was great! Very friendly staff, service is fast. Intimate setting, great place to have a romantic date. We had the mushrooms with spinach and cheese and squash apple soup for appetizers ( I highly recommend both). The ravioli and their hand rolled pasta stuffed with cheese and spinach was delicious. And you have to try their chocolate mousse pie. You will not be disappointed!

Discovered this place one weekend while traveling. Had the apple brandy chicken. It was marvelous. I have dined here several times and have always experienced a great meal. Brett has been my server a few times and he is top notch. Take your time and enjoy a quality meal.

We enjoyed our first dining experience at Lucio’s for our anniversary late September. Food was excellent! Service was good, not outstanding. Parking lot and walkway into restaurant are a bit dark. May wish to install motion lights and landscape lights. We plan to dine here again. Nice jewel in Culpeper.

It was recommended by the B&B owner where we stayed. The meal was unbelievably good! My wife had panko-encrusted grouper, a special on the day we went, and I had the sole in egg batter with lemon butter sauce from the regular menu. Both were superb and the portions were generous. The sole was the best I’ve ever eaten, cooked to perfection, it almost melted in my mouth. The grouper was also excellent. For desert we tried an almond cream cake and split it. It was so good that my wife asked if they were open late enough that we could come back later for another piece! We had called ahead alerting them that we had only an hour to eat before we had to leave for a performance at the Castleton Festival, about 40 minutes away. The service was fast, friendly (but not annoying), and we felt we had gotten undeserved VIP treatment. (Cost per person quoted excludes tip.)
