    Was there to celebrate a milestone birthday. The manager Mikal was made aware, but much to my suprise, he avoided our table (party of 2) until it was time to cash out. Even then, all he did was come swipe the folio off the table. We sat and watched him interact with every table, EXCEPT ours. Also, be aware that they include a 20% gratuity onto the bill and provide a lineto add more tip (deceptive in my opinion). So I was very surprised the following day to realize it was not the "suggested tip" when I'd tipped the bartender/server in cash. Food was great. But doubtful I'll ever return due to the glaringly obvious disdain for patrons who look like me.

    Luce was a delightful experience! It was a little difficult to find, but the restaurant, service and staff were wonderful. The food was equally wonderful. I will return anytime I’m in Charlotte, NC. One of the best Italian restaurants we’ve been to in the USA.

    Truly disappointed in the food a service. Waitress did not check on us and we were seated for more than 40 minutes before our order was taken. Food arrived lukewarm not hot. Again waitress didn't come by to check on how everything was going. Complained to manager and all he did was make excuses. This place is checked off my list!

    We went to Luce for an anniversary celebration. While we have no particular complaints, it was not a memorable experience. The food and the service were just ok. We did make a reservation and noted that we were celebrating. They did give us a nice Happy Anniversary card but not even the server was told - or asked - if we were celebrating any occasion.

    Luce used to be one of our favorites. We were disappointed this past time though. Ambiance is still incredible and the wait staff is always fabulous and attentive but the food was lackluster this time. We all three got Carbonara. We were so excited but it was a huge disappointment. It used to have so much more flavor. It was just a typical creamy pasta with ham in it this time. The mussels were very yummy. Not a 10, but definitely a strong 8. I know food costs are out the roof these days so maybe kitchens are having to cut costs but it just didn’t seem to be the quality it used to be.

    We were visiting Charlotte and took a chance on this restaurant based on the online menu. We couldn’t have been more pleased with our choice. We felt like we were in Italy. The carpaccio, bruschetta, meatballs, lamb and pasta were authentic and delicious. The service was impeccable. We will definitely return to the restaurant when we are back in town.
