Elegant atmosphere and superb customer service!! Luce most certainly has high standards with their employees! Maya went the extra mile making special reservations for a special dinner. The icing on the cake was the extraordinary attentiveness from our waiter Stephen. He made our dinner an experience! Thank you Maya & Stephen!

Luce is a must! The experience is always top-notch. I have a gluten, soy, and seed oil allergy, and they go above and beyond to accommodate my restrictions. Tonight, Luke was our server and was extremely professional, and had a great sense of humor. We will definitely be back soon and highly recommend that anyone reading this checks them out!

I can’t recommend this place enough! My friend and I went for a New Year’s Eve dinner, and it was absolutely fantastic. I’ve been here before for a birthday dinner, and the experience was just as superb. For New Year’s Eve, they didn’t offer a special menu or discounts, but that didn’t take away from the quality of the evening. The fresh fried calamari was perfectly cooked, and the shrimp pasta paired beautifully with an excellent red wine. Every bite felt like a celebration! This meal was hands down the best way to close out 2024, and I’ll definitely be back for more. If you’re looking for consistently amazing food and great ambiance, this is the spot!

We went with a work group of 11 on a week night. Had to make reservations via email because it’s hard to catch them over the phone. Food and drinks were amazing. Everyone enjoyed their dinner. Service was speedy, attentive and nice. Melissa took great care of our party, explained everything for new comers, made suggestions and made sure we were all happy with our food and drinks. Atmosphere was great, it’s a very nice restaurant, clean, music was pleasant, they did really good with our large group. I’m told they have amazing bathrooms! All the ladies were raving about it. The desserts were very tasty and the presentation was incredible! Thank you, Luce for taking care of our team dinner! It’s also one of my favorite spots for date night!

Great food with an even better wine list. Certain waiters are great and the sommelier was very knowledgeable and likable. Unfortunately, this time our waitress was unfriendly, uninterested, and dampened the atmosphere of the dinner. Recommended!

After living in Italy for 4 years and eating our way through all 20 provinces, I'm telling you- this is LEGIT Italian food!!! The calamari was some of the best I've ever had... ANYWHERE! The boar ragu took me straight back to Tuscany. We just dropped in to check it out, but many were there for their birthday, and a few tables looked like business dinners. It was a Thursday night, but the lighting was a bit bright and the music was bumpin'. Not what I'd call "romantic." It's more like an upscale happening place with a slight club vibe. If there's a candle lit night with soft music, that's when we'd like to come back. We've already recommend it to a few and will continue to do so.

The food was delicious! The lobster appetizer was our favorite. Our waiter was very knowledgeable of the food and wine. The sommelier also added to our wonderful experience here. He had great knowledge to share and allowed us to try a couple wines to expand our wine palate.

The Lobster in Corroza was the most unbelievable appetizer. It was like the greatest pumped out cheese stick imaginable. The wagyu beef steak was to die for and the tiramisu was delicious. I’d highly recommend.
