Ended up here on a recommendation from s waitress in Lacrosse Wisconsin. This was her favorite place. It was fantastic. Tiny tiny place, 80% of the seating is at the bar, which is pretty cool. The portions are about twice the size i expected. Hard to get reservations but well worth it. The pork cheek pasta was everyone's favorite.
I had a great dining experience in Luce. They offer a tantalising Italian menu. You can see the chef and his crew cooking in the corner of the restaurant . The staff was super friendly especially Kristal .
Luce is a must-visit for anyone craving an exquisite taste of Italy
I visited Luce on a solo date while my husband was out of town. I’ve followed this restaurant for a while on social media and figured I’d finally pull the plug on it. It was pretty easy to find on Granby st, which is a plus for me because I get lost easily. There’s a lot of other popular restaurants around it.
Now for my review
I HIGHLY recommend getting a reservation. I was able to book the bar seating for Friday evening around 6, but it was super packed. Reservations are pretty easy to book online, no need to call.
Seating: Request a table or bar seating away from the hostess stand. I was sat literally behind the stand, which is right next to the door so I was freezing my entire meal. There was a heater that the hostess had in the corner, but every time someone would open the door I’d have cold air shooting down my back. I’m glad my sweater was thick or I would have had to leave. Please learn from me, request specific seating. Have to knock off a star for this part.
Drinks: I only got 2. I started off with a cocktail, which was delicious. I believe it was called the Silver Sun. I’ve been on a mezcal kick lately so that drink was calling my name. Once my app came I switched over to a rosé. Due to where I was seated, I was unable to see the bar so I stuck with the wine and cocktail menu that was provided. The wine menu was extensive and the cocktail menu had a few interesting choices. I’d like to try more on my next visit.
Food: Wow. The star of the show was the appetizer, but I’ll start with the pasta. I ordered the Wild Boar Ragu. Delicious. Personally I would have loved a little heat added to it but I’m a spicy kind of girl lol. Beautiful homemade pasta. Lovely tender meat. Decent portion. Flavorful sauce, but could have used a dash of salt. Overall loved the pasta. The app! Clams in Brodo…I’ll be returning for that dish alone. I will say that I think my food had been sitting because the soup had developed a film on top when I received it. It took quite a while to come to so I was a little disappointed but also understanding because it was a Friday night. I was certainly surprised at how large of a serving there was! I can’t remember the amount of clams you got but it was over 10, plus more came in the topping. The soup had layers and layers of flavor and complemented the clams so well. I never finish meals at restaurants but I completely demolished this, bread and all. It filled me up before the pasta. 100% recommend trying the clams out if you’re a seafood lover.
Service: Great! My waitress, whose name I can’t remember, was attentive and very friendly.
Overall, I’d visit again but maybe on a weekday when it’s less crowded and I can sit somewhere else.
Love then authenticity of the food and the quaintness of the locations. Sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing! The wait for the food was slightly disappointing (~50mins) but we really enjoyed the flavor! I'd definitely go back again if I'm in the area
My husband and I were here for our anniversary and Val was our server and she was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! The food was perfect! Everyone is super kind and personable. HIGHLY recommend to everyone!
Super cute and cozy spot. All was delish! Mafaldine was perfectly cooked. Scotch and bourbon flights were great.
Our first time there. We were warmly greeted at the door. Since we didn't have reservations we had to sit at the bar, which is never an issue for us. The guys serving were great. Fun to visit with. Knowledgeable about the food and drinks. They made us comfortable. The food was outstanding. We will be back for sure.
Love this place. The goose and rig was so good. Me and my bestie went three time in one week that’s how addictive and delicious the food was. Good bruschetta as well. Must try restaurants in the area
The service was great on NYE, a friend and I snagged a last min reservation; I had corn and shrimp chowder, lasagna Bolognese & a sparkling white! Vegan options were a hit as well. Not my first visit but good food always puts a smile on my face. Th
Needed a gym while I was on Vacation and was quickly welcomed into this friendly environment that I became very comfortable with immediately. Not only do the coaches know their stuff but they push you to achieve more advanced movements. They also hav
I've been going to Ghent fit for 2 years now and I have really liked the staff and individual work out rooms. I have had a few trainers while being here and my current trainer, Alfonso, has been the best I've had so far.
He is a terrific trainer and
Really pretty cafe. The owner was so warm and welcoming. The food was really good and as a bonus looked amazing, especially the forest kabob and carrot cake. Only downside was it was a bit expensive and the portions werenât crazy
We came to the Open Studio and all had so much fun! Most painted from one of the MANY samples. I did a paint pouring. No instruction, but help when we needed it. Great facility and wonderful owner. We will definitely be returning!!
Small movements, big flex. Short time, maximum gain. During my 1st visit I was surprised how quickly we were able to get the body in the correct position for the best gain. Instructors were highly attentive and knowledgeable. Not your warehouse wo
These grounds are beautiful. Itâs a little on the smaller side as far as property size so you can get through it within a couple of hours max, but itâs stunning. They have some installations and the light/sound experience is really moving.
This Museum in the heart of downtown Norfolk is well worth the visit and does not take too much of your time. The staff on hand are very knowledgeable in history of the house and the family who lived there.
The Hunters were prominent bankers of the
Everything was amazing from the food to the customer service! I got the Barbie drink and itâs probably the best lemonade Iâve ever had. We also got a bagel with cream cheese and a bacon egg and cheese bagel. 10/10 Workers were so sweet. Even thou
This is my new favorite place! The staff were so friendly and helpful (one of the staff members explained all her favorites and offered great suggestions when we had trouble deciding) and the pastries and bread were delicious! I got a pain au chocola
