We ordered shrimp fra diavalo and shrimp in vodka sauce. The presentation was very good. The shrimp were over cooked but the vodka sauce was excellent.
Dined here for the first time last night . Knowing that the owner is family with the owner of Bin 100 in Milford ,which is by by far my local favorite , I had some time to make a trip for my girlfriend's birthday dinner. ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL.Beautiful ambiance,Best of the best server(Maria) and 11 out of 10 food deliciousness. If this place was closer by , It would be a regular for me. Do not hesitate to try this place, i am sure your socks will be rolling up and down if you appreciate fine dining.
I went here on Wednesday night with my mother, aunt, and little cousin! It was my first time eating here, but I had to come try this restaurant out because my aunt and cousin loved it so much that they recommended it! Our waiter was so friendly and helpful and accommodating, he was wonderful! Thank you for a great dining experience! We were seated outside, but it wasn’t too cold that night and they also had heaters as well. As soon as we had our food, we were warmed up pretty soon and I loved my pesto pasta, which I absolutely recommend! Each plate were portioned perfectly, and dessert was just divine! We got the tiramisu and lava cake, which were amazing and delicious. All in all, a great experience and I recommend that everyone should come here at least once!! Wonderful staff and delicious food! Thank you!
The food was incredible! The service was some of the worst I’ve ever had. It was super loud, we were seated in a far corner, and forgotten about until someone asked if we’d been served about 15 minutes later. Then our server had to be made to come help us. Throughout the meal he dropped the plates off and that’s about it. He never checked on us or brought anything we asked for like condiments or cheese. It was a special celebration and I was prepared to spend a lot of money but we just left disappointed with our treatment.
Amazing restaurant, beautiful ambiance, with absolutely incredible staff!! If you are looking for a memorable, delicious, professional dining experience, look no further - Ristorante Luce is the full package!! Perfect for all of life’s occasions, or a spontaneous night out!! You will not be disappointed after an evening here, highly recommend!!
Perfect setting for outdoor dining (well spaced tables with large umbrellas). Everything we ate was phenomenal. Excellent service that far exceeded our expectations. I wish I took more pictures of the food and drinks to share, but I was too busy enjoying tf out of it! We had mussels, meatballs, salmon, and gnocchi. As well as a pear martini and a lemon drop martini. Nothing could be improved. It was all 100% perfect (and I have very high expectations from restaurants, especially Italian restaurants, since my grandparents used to have a very popular high end northern Italian restaurant).
Consistently great food, atmosphere and staff based on the last 20 plus years that I’ve been going there. Hostess, wait staff and bartenders are ALWAYS professional, knowledgeable, courteous and friendly!
Just about a perfect lunch! Service was excruciatingly slow to start. Once orders were taken everything flowed smoothly. $22 Prix Fixe lunch could be one of the best available!! Meatballs were bakef perfectly. The pomodoro sauce with ricotta pairs very well with the meatballs. Mussels are definitely a heaping bowl size you get a lot. Lemon garlic broth brings out the mussels taste really well along with bits of smoked speck tasting like bacon. Salad course is served second and is a great pallette cleanser in between. It's not a typical American iceberg salad, you get nice baby greens. Gnocchi is a large serving size with just the right amount of sauce and ricotta. Gnocchi are bite sized but taste great. Risotto Pescatore is another good sized serving with pieces of shrimp, scallops, calamari, and clams. This tasted great as well. Would 100% go back again for lunch.
