Chicken parmigiana and spaghetti were both overcooked. Not worth the money. I can't speak on the other dishes, but I do not recommend the chicken parm.

Small hole in the wall restaurant but delicious homemade pasta dishes. Despite its size we didn't feel crowded. Service was good and congenial. Nice find!

Excellent food and service. Cute space. Feels European. Fresh made pasta very good. Bruschetta was also very good.

The food was phenomenal. It was as authentic Italian as you can get. The pasta is freshly made in house. The service was great, and the ambiance was quiet while the service was on point. If you want a great meal, come to Café Luce. You will not be disappointed!

Came here for brunch on the weekend and it's definitely super busy and lively. The place has a cute cozy vibe and all the servers were very helpful and friendly. The space is a little bit packed tight when it's full but noise level isn't too loud. We got the below pasta dishes and all of them tasted amazing. The portions were pretty big too considering some Manhattan places skimp out on portions a lot even with a higher price. Definitely recommend making a reservation if you're looking to dine in during brunch or dinner hours. Would definitely visit again if I'm ever in the immediate area. Had a great experience here.

Absolutely terrible service hustled by the owner to exit the property within 90 mins then ‘created’ a 30% service charge as mandatory and was just utterly rude.
Lovely, cozy & personable experience.Had spinach salad, pasta, & several glasses of Gavi white - great neighborhood pick; I recommend & will be here again!

My family is from New Orleans and I must say the area is perfect. It’s small but so cute with flowers and a fireplace on the tv. The red pasta sauce is perfect, not too heavy or rich but not too light either. The people are so nice and it’s just the best place if you want Italian food for dinner and very low key.Kid-friendliness: Very kind to the kids
Lovely server and delicious food with gluten free options. Highly recommend this quaint Italian restaurantDietary restrictions: Excellent gluten free options
