This place was recommended to me by my friends, and after going there I can certainly recommend it to others. The service is great, as it is hard to find such service in a busy area. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the decor looks calming and nice. I had the smoked salmon for an appetizer, and it was very tastie. My girlfriend had the gnocchi, and I had to try it because it had three cheeses! It was very good. I had the taglierini with chicken, and could not be happier. My buddy had the veal, and ate everything on the plate. The wine was teriffic. I overall think the food was delicious, we all had a good time. If you are hungry, want great food, and just feel like you are in the middle of a happening area and place, this is the spot.
Pros: Food, Location, Service

Pros: Great Food, Great Price, Great Ambience

Last week my wife and I happened to stumble on to this lovely Italian Restaurant after a movie at Lincoln Theatre. We had a wonderful dinner especially the
Spaghetti with shrimp and broccoli rabe. The Goat cheese salad with baby spinach was also outstanding.
We rally enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was good. The place was very busy and all the tables were full. We shared a nice bottle of Chardonnay which the waiter suggested. It was a very good choice. The desserts were delicious. My only concern was the weight I gained from finishing the generous portions they served us. Considering the location this is a bargain. We shall return. Frequently...

Brunch at Luce is one of the few things that gets me out of bed on a Saturday. The food is so good and the staff is lovely. They offer a list of things that you actually want to eat. Great neighborhood spot, but also worth a trip!
Pros: Food, portions, pricing, service

I went there Saturday night with my girlfriend and was impressed with not only the food, but the service was top notch and the atmosphere was wonderful. We thought for sure we were some place in Italy instead of in the heart of NYC. I have recommended this restaurant to many people and I have yet to have anyone dissatisfied. The outside sitting was wonderful also!!!
Pros: Excellent Food,Outside Seating & Service
Cons: No Cons!!!

I had dinner in Luce two days ago with a friend who recommended it. I've been to a lot of restaurants in Italy and I have to say this one comes pretty close. The friendly staff, and just the warm atmosphere in it, made the lunch quite enjoyable. I'm pretty sure that next week I'll be going there with my girlfriend :)
Pros: good service, great wine, and even better food
