Lucio - Culpeper

This restaurant is unexpectedly beautiful and stylish. Culpeper is becoming a rising star in the culinary scene. This charming, classic eatery offers a lovely atmosphere that's perfect for a romantic evening, a family gathering, or a night out with friends. I highly recommend giving it a try. The classic Italian cuisine is not only delicious but also beautifully presented and served promptly.

The staff was friendly and the food was delicious. The shrimp salad was outstanding, and the chicken was cooked to perfection. The bread was fresh, with just the right amount of crunch. Everything had great flavor. My wife loved the wine, and since we don't go out often, we plan to return. It was a wonderful experience.

I really enjoyed this restaurant. The lunch menu was well-priced, and the service was excellent. The food was tasty overall, but there were a few issues. The edges of the chicken were dry, and my daughter, who is 12 and usually has no trouble cutting steak, struggled with it. If it hadn't been fair, I would have sent it back. I found your pasta offerings to be unique, as they combine tomatoes and Alfredo sauce. However, as a picky eater, I wasn't a fan of the strong contrast between the acidity and the creaminess. On a positive note, the bread was outstanding, and both the furnishings and the parking lot were excellent. I would definitely consider coming back for another try.

Nostalgic delicious food, pretty interior, attentive staff. I sung here with my partner on Tuesday night. We had an unnecessary reservation as we were in the restaurant under 4 diners. The waiting staff was very polite, answered my questions about the restaurant's history and checked us a reasonable amount. We ordered two entrees: Manicotti and an angel hair with meatballs. Both tasted delicious and remembered my childhood in an Italian-American home. Even the background music was nostalgic, with songs like singing in the rain. I hope they see more business they deserve.

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!
