Luce is a popular Italian restaurant in Portland, known for its delicious food and friendly service. The menu features a variety of classic antipasti, such as three antipasti dishes, pastas, and mains, with the option of half-portions to try more dishes, which is great for groups. Prices are reasonable, but customers should expect a wait to get a table, especially if with a larger group, and many find the wait worthwhile. The cozy atmosphere has a movie-like quality, and diners often leave satisfied. Standout dishes include the fish roe pasta, rabbit pasta, the stuffed trout, and nettles ravioli, along with a pine bud syrup drenched panna cotta. The restaurant also offers an interesting wine list and a small pantry with items for sale. The space is small and first-come, first-served, so arriving early or during off-peak hours helps avoid a wait. While the hard surfaces can make the noise level high, the excellent food and attentive service make Luce a place many feel eager to return to. Customers recommend trying the bread and house red wine, which are highly praised.
