We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The employees showed excellent service and made excellent foods. Presentation was top tier. We came during the rush and we’re still served promptly. I’m incredibly impressed with the food, service, and overall experience. We had the special and a margherita pizza which were both terrific and got the CT crunch gelato to go which I can’t wait to dig in to. The special was a mushroom, roasted red pepper, and golden tomato sauces ravioli which was filled with goat cheese. The specials don’t miss. S-Tier work and a must have.

Loved the pappardelle!!! The ragu sauce was so delicious, I asked for the recipe!!? No, I didn't get it!?

Paid $12 for a special spicy sausage con vodka pasta. The pasta was delicious (not broken, so a little sloppy to eat). The celery could be cooked more (it was very cruncy). I prefer the efficiency and accessibility of this place over a sit down Italian restaurant.

We were so impressed with this place! We got the pistou and the margarita pizza. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. We also ordered two sanpellegrino cans which were oddly warm but other than that I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve had a couple friends recommend Luce as the “best pasta in Charlottesville” & it did not disappoint. I never write reviews, but I couldn’t help myself. This is the best pasta I have ever had… the Oyster Rockefeller Spaghetti is amazing, but the Cacio is the star. This place is divine

OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!!!!!!! I was traveling through town around Xmas and tried the Pistou pasta. There are no words to explain how REMARKABLE it was!!!! I had to leave early the next day and my only regret is that I didn't just buy a couple more options for the road. You will NOT be disappointed!!! Simply AMAZING!!!!!

This is the coolest little food window. The pasta dishes are ridiculously good and speedy coming out. We loved the boli and fettuccine with meatballs

This place is a little spot with big flavor. Highly recommended!

Food gets a 5 for taste, value and ingenuity. Yum and fresh. Picture is spaghetti with shaved zucchini, pesto, mint and tomatoes. We also enjoyed the papardelle with pork ragu.I'd add a star for slightly better packaging only because the perfectly cooked pasta keeps cooking in the current takeaway container.
