    Truly disappointed in the food a service. Waitress did not check on us and we were seated for more than 40 minutes before our order was taken. Food arrived lukewarm not hot. Again waitress didn't come by to check on how everything was going. Complained to manager and all he did was make excuses. This place is checked off my list!

    We went to Luce for an anniversary celebration. While we have no particular complaints, it was not a memorable experience. The food and the service were just ok. We did make a reservation and noted that we were celebrating. They did give us a nice Happy Anniversary card but not even the server was told - or asked - if we were celebrating any occasion.

    Luce used to be one of our favorites. We were disappointed this past time though. Ambiance is still incredible and the wait staff is always fabulous and attentive but the food was lackluster this time. We all three got Carbonara. We were so excited but it was a huge disappointment. It used to have so much more flavor. It was just a typical creamy pasta with ham in it this time. The mussels were very yummy. Not a 10, but definitely a strong 8. I know food costs are out the roof these days so maybe kitchens are having to cut costs but it just didn’t seem to be the quality it used to be.

    We were visiting Charlotte and took a chance on this restaurant based on the online menu. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. We felt like we were in Italy. The carpaccio, bruschetta, meatballs, lamb and pasta were authentic and delicious. The service was impeccable. We will definitely return to the restaurant when we are back in town.
