We recently went to Luce Restaurant for my daughter's 16th birthday. She did all of the research, read the reviews and made the reservation. When you get to Luce, you have to go through the lobby of the Truist building because of construction outside. However, once you get in, you immediately notice the ambiance and atmosphere is well deserving of the great reviews.
We were promptly seated and within a matter of minutes our server was over and helped us with the menu, drinks and answered all of our questions. The service was impressive and we never felt like we were being unattended. The food came out quickly and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. When you look at the menu, it's touches on many tastes so you're sure to find something.
Overall, the food, the atmosphere and ambiance were perfect. My daughter was very happy with everything and the staff did a wonderful job of making her feel special.
Phenomenal all around. The ambiance and service were excellent. They start you off with bread and beans which were good. We got the calamari that was phenomenal. The wife got the Penne Positano. The sauce was heavenly. I got the Filet Mignon which was as smooth as velvet. Finished it off with crème brûlée. Everything was fantastic.
The customer service here is A1. The staff made sure I was taken care of. The Caesar salad here is great. The dish with the penne pasta and shrimp was very tasty. There was a special dish during the time I went for lobster risotto, which was very tasty. The entrees could of had a tad more seasoning but was still good. If you like chocolate, the chocolate dessert is just about perfect. The crème brûlée was on point too. The space is small and cozy but not too small at the same time. I liked the lighting and atmosphere.
One of the best restaurants I have been to in Charlotte. Great atmosphere, excellent and authentic Italian cuisine, extensive and top notch wine selection, attentive and very cordial staff. 5 of us enjoyed dinner there and everyone agreed that their dinner selections etc were wonderful. I can't wait to go back! Parking is in the Truist Center building and validated by the restaurant
Very busy but the staff and the kitchen performed incredible well. We were lucky to get Cesare whose service was extraordinary. The "clams and mussels" appetizer was fabulous and the Eggplant Pasta Norma was a definite foodies' award winning dish.
Loved all of it!!
Celebrated a birthday at this beautiful location and wow was I impressed. The service, ambiance, food and drinks were all top notch.
They even comp your parking pass. Excellent authentic Italian food - I can't wait to come back.
Get the tiramisu!
Probably my all time favorite restaurant in uptown. The atmosphere is so beautiful, food is great and affordable, and the service is fast. I ordered the Alla Vodka pasta and it was amazing. Definitely recommend coming here
I loved everything about this restaurant and will definitely be returning. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday, and it was phenomenal. The only thing I was not too fond of was the charcuterie board. However, that’s not the star menu item. The other appetizer we ordered with the mussels took me back to my time in Little Italy and how they serve their mussels and clams.This was my first time having risotto and it was a successful experience! Thank you for hosting us! I cannot wait to return.
The wait staff was friendly, professional and accommodating. The food came out fresh and hot, from the appetizers to the main course. Desert was delicious as well. I will be visiting again before I leave Charlotte.
We had an outstanding evening at Luce; the service was spectacular, the staff was quite friendly, the food was wonderful, and the wine pairings were very well done. Very nice location tucked away in uptown Charlotte back behind Sea Level. We will definitely be back.
