I love Luce and became familiar when someone gave me a gift certificate. The service, food and ambiance is graceful, delicious and consistent. I enjoy going for the 3 course lunch to add some excitement, gluttony and good vibes to my day especially for a special occasion or to catch up with friends, everything I have tried is wonderful. I am impartial to the Meatballs which they are known for which are tender and well seasoned, the seafood crepe and salmon with risotto. Go with a big appetite or prepared to eat leftovers which are always welcomed ?

For the quality of food and service, this place is underpriced. When I think I splurge, the check is surprising. It drives me back, time and time again. The specials keep it fresh. The drink ideas keep it interesting. Just a super place for a great dinner or impressing for special occasions.

Went for Mother’s Day lunch. Ordered the parmigiana which was just chicken, no pasta, no side, just chicken for $27. Got mozzarella stick appetizer and it was cold. Not eager to go back. Ambience was nice.

Food was excellent, seating was not comfortable. Had to put coat on, was at a table with a strong cross breeze. Waitress was rushing us; too efficient and there were enough available tables.

We don’t come here as often as we would like but, it’s always a good experience. Luce is run by the same family that does Goodfellas and the exceptional bin 100. Today we had a variety of apps and entrees. All were very good. Have a glass of wine and an espresso. You won’t have room for dessert. Our waitress was on point and so were the other staff members. We had a relaxing 2 hour lunch.

Luce us a delightful place for lunch or dinner. The food is always great, my favorite entree is the Sicilian pork chop, absolutely delicious! Their staff is wonderful , they provide consistently great service. I would recommend Luce to anyone looking for a nice meal

Simply....This is an exquisite Italian restaurant that never ceases to amaze me! It's one of my favorite restaurants of all time and I am comparing nation wide. Lisa ensures that the clientele is treated exceptionally well. -ABT-

Food as usual was very good. all 3 of us enjoyed our apps & entrees.

Had a wonderful experience for our wedding reception at this Restaurant. My friends and family ordered from the fixed catering menu and the choices and food were excellent. The portions were very good and we had a nice appetizer, salad and entree. We had our own room during this pandemic time, and wait staff wore face masks. Guests were greeted at the door and shown to our table. Thank you for making our special day go so smoothly!
