Café Luce Reviews
Excellent food & service. Our waitress went above and beyond.
The waitress was friendly, she didn’t check on us when we received our food but that’s fine she was managing the place with one other person. Overall, the pasta was extremely bland. We had vodka sauce and the spicy red sauce, neither worth it. Wouldn’t recommend them. Our cheese plate, the cheese was all hard it was the end of the cheese cuts and some bruised and soft grapes. Don’t recommend this either.
The front door is broken so the cold area constantly comes...read full review
