Best Service in Chesapeake 🤌🤌
Disappointing Experience: Not Worth the Hype
My wife and I visited Luce Secondo for her birthday on June 27th, 2025. We had a 7:30 PM reservation and arrived on time, only to be seated outside on the patio during a hot summer evening. The restaurant was packed, and the outdoor seating had no fans or misters. Everyone outside looked visibly uncomfortable and sweating. It's not exactly the ambiance you'd expect from a fine dining experience.

Best restaurant in Hampton Roads if not the state.

Luce Secondo is a great spot for a date night or a night out. The restaurant impresses with its imagery and service, providing a beautiful atmosphere that many customers appreciate. The food is wonderful, with popular dishes like the octopus appetizer and the tender pork. Diners have praised the calamari as some of the best they've ever had, and the boar ragu is noted for its authentic taste that reminds guests of Tuscany.
The atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, and the service is attentive without being intrusive. While the happy hour and expert bar staff add to the experience, some reviews mention that service can be slow, especially when the restaurant is busy. A recent guest received overcooked potatoes with their steak, but the server quickly made it right by bringing smashed potatoes instead. The mushroom toast and the mussels are highlighted for their delicious flavors, and the gemelli pasta and pappardelle bolognese are noted for their vibrant and satisfying tastes. The pistachio cheesecake is a perfect way to finish a lovely evening, although some diners feel certain entrees could be improved. Overall, Luce Secondo has a lively atmosphere, often buzzing with celebrations, making it more of an upscale happening place rather than a traditional romantic spot.
