I had the Pumpkin Salad, sooo yummy. My daughter and granddaughter loved their meals too. We also shared the Pancakes with Chocolate Strawberries and Banana, too big for just 1 person, especially after the size meals we had. All meals so very reasonably priced. Very friendly service. DEFINITELY returning.

Took the wife out for breakfast for her birthday. Went to lucios at Nelson Street Wallsend. The food was absolutely spot on! So good that the wife ate all of hers! I had the eggs Benedict with bacon. Cannot fault portion size and quality. Was hot and fresh. Coffee was hot an of a nice flavour! Service was excellent, would highly recommend.

The food here was incredibly delicious, we got the Eggs Benedict and the Hollondaise sauce was so good. The coffee was delightful. The service we received from Tom was impeccable. However, the girl with the sunglasses who served us at first had the worst attitude and customer service. $4 for one hash brown is wild. And the chairs/tables are not comfortable as the metal bars of both dig into you.

There is really nothing to mark down. The food is consistently good, the coffee great and the staff friendly. I eat in Melbourne all the time, and Lucio's in Wallsend is as good as any cafè I've eaten at there.

Great place! Family orientated, food is quick/delicious and coffee is excellent! Especially when Tom is making the coffee!! Yesterday, I had ordered and was sitting there waiting for my family, and Tom brought my coffee over first so that I could enjoy it while waiting. What a legend! Definitely check this place out!
