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

Cafe Luce is a cozy little Italian restaurant & wine bar located near Rockefeller Center and St. Patrick's Cathedral. The space feels intimate and the decor takes you to a vacation in the south of France or Italy. Service is warm, attentive, friendly, and professional, making guests feel welcome for lunch or dinner. The menu offers many pasta options, including cacio e pepe, penne alla vodka, penne alla caprese, vodka rigatoni, and bolognese. Portions are generous and prices reflect the quality. Diners praise the cacio e pepe for its creamy cheese and pepper, the vodka rigatoni for its sauce that satisfies even those who dislike red sauce, and the penne alla caprese for its fresh mozzarella, basil, and tomatoes in a garlic and white wine sauce. The house red wine and other wines pair well with the dishes. Dessert highlights include tiramisu and panna cotta in a raspberry sauce, both described as outstanding. Coffee and latte options are also available. Cafe Luce is a great spot for pasta and wine lovers, with a chill ambiance and a team that is professional, friendly, and attentive.
