Lucio's Restaurant

Lucios is a great family restaurant. There are no reservations so get there early — as soon as the restaurant opens. The wait staff is great, friendly and informative about the dishes. A large salad is shared, delicious dressings. The entrees are huge so be prepared to share or take home a lot of food. My husband ordered the chicken parmigiana which was delicious, the red sauce was the best I’ve ever tasted. I had the mussels with red sauce and pasta. Very good, very plentiful. Wine pours are very generous. Though some might disagree with me I enjoyed the atmosphere of lots of people, a little loud, and everyone enjoying their meals.

On vacation in Franklin and decided to try Lucios based on reviews and menu items. Best Italian food I've had in a long time! Everything was hot and fresh. Husband and son-in-law had chicken parmesan which both said was made with fresh chicken. I had the Florentine stuffed Shells that were absolutely delicious. My daughter had Eggplant parmesan which was delicious but a little too salty. The fried ravioli and fried zucchini were both perfect!!! So good that we intend to go back tomorrow with the grandsons!!!

We didn't have to wait to be seat as a party of two. Service was prompt and Kelly on spot. My husband ordered a chicken dish which he loved and I ordered the Shrimp Fra Diavlo, which was fresh and tasty, but not spicy as it should be. The salad and garlic rolls were delish. Prices, quality, and quantity were outstanding. We will return.

We were greeted and seated quickly. They opened at 5 and we arrived @5:30. It was almost full and there was a waiting list when we left @6:30. I had the Spaghetti & Eggplant and my spouse had the Cannelloni. He said it was the best Cannelloni he has ever had!! The eggplant was cooked perfectly, not mushy or tough. We will go back again on our future trips to the area. Highly recommend!!
