I expect to be a regular!”

“This is my go to “healthy” food place. I put it in quotes because it really depends what kind of bowl you get, but really they’re all delicious. I like to go custom and really load up on protein. This place is a little bit on the pricey side but the quality is great and there’s great consistency. I’ve probably been here more than a dozen times. It’s a staple.”

“Decor is modern, clean, bright, and inviting. Food is absolutely delicious! Definitely try the pad thai dumplings because they are so yummy and very different from anything on anyone else's menu. So many vegetarian options which is AMAZING! Loved the crispy tofu bao as well, comes w/ a rich coconut sauce that takes it to the next level. The tofu sandwich was also yummers, and I loved the crunch factor of the inclusion of a nice crisp green bean in it. Staff and owners are super friendly, and all around great people who are passionate about food. YUM!”

“The ice-creams are delicious. They have many egg-free/vegan options as well. And the staff members are very friendly. My son dropped his ice-cream on the floor, but they refused to charge us even after us insisting.”

“Pretty average cafe. The baked goods are just OK. Coffee was good. Outdoor seating only. My natural instinct is to give it three stars (as it’s very average) but google reviews are inflated so four stars seems adequate.”

“I wish I could pick 3.5 stars, but will give Lucio's the benefit of the doubt. My wife and I agreed--the biggest problem with Lucio's is that the name, the website and at least parts of the menu suggest it is an Italian restaurant. But lots of other clues point you elsewhere. When you sit, they give you bread along with a kalamata olive dip and a hummus dip (which was really heavy on the cumin). I like both of those things, but ... not super Italian. My wife started with claims oreganato, and she didn't care for them; usually, they are prepared such that the bread crumbs are broiled and crispy. This was served un-browned, soft and moist; I would guess that they were steamed. Never seen this preparation before. I started with a seafood salad of calamari, octopus, shrimp, and scallop in lemon and olive oil. This was tasty, but for some reason, they decided to chop everything into small bits. Not quite cat food, but too close. It's an odd way of treating fresh seafood, and is a preparation I've never seen before (and candidly, hope not to again). For entrees, my wife had a chicken ravioli special. She thought they were tasty, but neither the filling nor the sauce called to mind La Cucina Italiana. I had a grouper special in a pea sauce, which struck my wife and me as a twist on Troisgros's famous Salmon with Sorrel. Delicious, but Italian? As a side to share, we ordered Zucchini chips. They were absolutely delicious. But they were served with.... tzatziki dip. Service was good; waiter was very friendly. Wine list is mostly filled with inexpensive options, but some of the markups were over 5X retail. Space seems to have just been renovated and is very clean and modern. Almost stark. In sum, I think this is a restaurant with a lot of potential with lots of talent in the kitchen, but a bit of an identity crisis. If the restaurant had been marketed to me as an European bistro, for example, it would have better aligned with the experience.”

“(Translated by Google) Best Korean rice cake and shaved ice in bergen county. A little pricey but worth the money. The rice cakes and red beans taste much more luxurious than other places.(Original)Best Korean rice cake and shaved ice(빙수) in bergen county. A little pricey but worth the money. 떡과 팥이 다른 곳 보다 훨씬 고급스러운 맛이예요.”

“One of the best Italian restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. The food is amazing and well worth the price they charge. The fact that it is a BYOB makes this definitely in place to take a date your wife, your family, anyone you enjoy being with! The staff is excellent. Service is terrific and the food you just have to drive yourself. I highly recommend this place and I don’t usually write reviews. If you don’t try this place out, you are missing one of the best Italian restaurants for the money you’ll ever find. Mangia, Mangia, Mangia.!”

“They help support so many awesome brands, and are amazing to work with. Plus, they spoil me rotten with samples of so many delicious things -- what's not to love?”

“Just be mindful that the restaurant is located inside the golf academy, once you enter the building the entrance is on your left.Overall had an amazing experience, they will give you an extraordinary service and treat you like a valued customer at all time. All the dishes are delicious, yet low sodium, fresh ingredients. They have a seasonal menu and it's the best to follow what the owner suggest. They usually have very traditional, healthy dishes.”

“Slice held it shape, the base is crispy. The crust has a nice crunch on the outside while being soft on the inside. There is a slight sweetness to the sauce but not overpowering and quite nice.”

“The birria burrito is okay. I thought it was lacking some flavor but it was nice and toasty. I feel like it would be much tastier with a different protein maybe chicken or steak.”
