The good news- the food is amazing. The bad news-there is no way to contact the restaurant when they make a mistake on your order. It takes the wind out of a birthday celebration when you get home, are missing an entree, and can't contact the restaurant. Their number is unpublished, and even through the toast app there is no way to contact them. Its not easy to get in and out of there so we didn't drive back and leave the whole group waiting. It was a busy Friday night, and mistakes are understandable. Being invisible is not understandable.

So, update, they refunded the meal the missed and one other entree. They can be reached through Crush Pad wines.

Amazingly delicious homemade pasta take-out! I love when they have mushroom alfredo ravioli! Parking is damn near impossible though.

Take out only. Soooo gooooood!! I ordered as a walk up at the window and assumed I’d be waiting 10 min minimum, but….theze noodles guys….Fresh noodles only take a few minutes to boil, so thrown in a pan with some sauce and the pasta is ready in about 5 min! Got the bolo (bolognese) and cheesecake of the moment (almond this time). Both were fabulous, I am very impressed and hope to get to eat there again!

They close almost an hour before they say they do. Was really excited to try. Very disappointed.

First time trying the place out. Got a pizza and some pasta and the flavors were amazing, but the pasta and pizza were not exactly hot and the pizza was a little messy and floppy. Could have just been a one off, will have to try again.

The pizza was so good. I was literally thinking about this pizza two days later. I wish I lived closer so I could stop by every day! The staff was very nice!

I got the cacio. There was almost no pepper. The noodles were delicious and the sauce was amazing and almost buttery. But… no pepper. My dinner mates both loved their pasta (they got other options) so maybe it was just a one off? I would definitely give it another shot.

Always a must stop to pick up a pint of pasta when I’m in Charlottesville. Don’t miss the bolo and the cheesecake with a pistachio crust!!

We were so excited to try Luce for the first time and unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. I got the Cacio and my fiancé got the Fettuccine and we got the garlic bread to share. The Cacio was completely flavorless, greasy, and the noodles were way too thick. It was also impossible to eat in the containers provided, so I poured it onto a plate but it literally looked like a science experiment and hospital food combined. The Fettuccine was slightly better in terms of flavor, but it tasted like mushrooms (which are not part of/included in the dish). On the other hand, the garlic bread was pretty good. Sad to say we won’t be back to Luce.
