                                          Luce is one of my favorite Charlotte restaurants. Food, service, ambiance, and especially low level noise, allows people to actually converse with people at the table, without feeling the need to shout.

                                          Had a very nice meal at Luce. We had dinner before attending the Belk for a musical. The veal scallopini was tender and well cooked. Spouse had chicken marsala which was very good. The vegetable medley was made with FRESH vegetables and cooked just right. Loved the roasted potatoes.
