Luce Reviews
One of the absolute best restaurants in Portland. Everything is delicious and absolute perfection. Farro pie, agnoloti with chard and tagliatelle with ragu are our favorites. Note There is almost always a wait bc it’s a small place. There is a cute wine bar next door where you can get a glass and appetizer while you wait. We love Luce!
Very fresh pasta and an amazing bright atmosphere. Recommend the foccacia too.
OMG! The pasta is soooooo amazing!!!!!

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.
