Main complaints are in relation to the food…Obnoxiously fast service, the red sauce for the gnocchi tasted like Campbell’s tomato soup, dirty martini was anything but dirty, I ordered the the lobster and shrimp risotto, which was $45 (no complaints there) aside from the fact it was just an over cooked risotto with chopped shrimp and minimal lobster. The fact we were sat at 6pm and ate/closed tab/ and left by 630 screams nothing is cooked to order… as risotto should be. 2/5 extra rating for being seated on time.

It’s always a good experience at Luce. Wonderful food, the service is always well paced. Efficient yet “slow enough” to allow one to really enjoy conversation with friends and the food. Quality time is never rushed. I’ve always enjoyed the friendly staff.
