I visited Luce Secondo instead of the Cork and Bull restaurant nearby due to the racial discrimination boycott. It was a top notch experience in every way. Our childhood friend arrived early to get a table for 4 and we were escorted to her upon arrival. She had already been impressed by our waiter, Wes, who knew everything about the menu and rotating cocktails. He was attentive and not at all overbearing. We had a few Tropic Like Its Hot cocktails and a mojito mocktail with liquor added. We tried the wagyu meatballs as well as the branzino I picked as well as a second wagyu entree and a pasta dish with tuna. For dessert we had tiramisu, cannoli and olive oil cake. I would absolutely visit again and several friends already added Luce Secondo to their list. I’ve been to a lot of restaurants all over the globe and have never seen a portable iron brought out to press table cloths. Those small touches make a huge difference as well as the purse holders (not unusual these days) that we used for our takeout bag. Your full order is timed for optimal serving so you will all need to be seated OR phone in your order like our 4th person.

Megan was absolutely amazing! We came for a Valentines dinner and were completely blown away, my boyfriend got the duck and I got the wild boar ragu and the food was amazing. Megan’s service was outstanding! She was extremely knowledgeable and helped us pick out the perfect meal.

We celebrated our daughter’s 18th birthday at Luce Secondo with a party of 10, and everything was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Our host was phenomenal — knowledgeable, warm, and incredibly attentive. They knew the menu in great detail and offered thoughtful drink and food pairing suggestions that made the night feel extra special.
Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — from the seafood and steak to the pasta and flatbread. You can truly taste the authenticity and care in every bite. The atmosphere was elegant yet inviting, with stunning artwork and lighting that added to the evening’s charm.
Highly recommend Luce Secondo for any special occasion or if you simply want an unforgettable dining experience. We’ll definitely be returning!

I was here for a training event for work so we had to fixed menu. Even with the fixed menu they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions like gluten-free. I had the best gluten-free pasta I’ve ever eaten in a restaurant. Pork tenderloin was fork tender. The lemon sorbet was refreshing.
The private room we were in was spacious enough for the group we were in. The room was cold which did impact our experience slightly. If you’re doing a private events wanting to have conversation just keep in mind sound echoes in this room so it gets quite loud.
Overall great restaurant. Our server was attentive and friendly.

Luce Secondo is, undoubtedly, one of the finest restaurants in our region. From the moment we walked in, the well-appointed decor and warm, professional staff immediately created a positive, holiday-like vibe. The service was attentive without being intrusive, elevating the entire experience.
The cuisine itself was superb. We indulged in several dishes, starting with the Mushroom Toast, which was a simple revelation—so delicious and perfectly balanced that I’ve already asked my wife to recreate it for an upcoming dinner with friends! The Insalada Di Luce was fresh and vibrant. For the main courses, the Rigatoni con Salciccia e Funghi was hearty and rich, the Gamberi e Crema Al Limone was exquisitely delicate and bright, and the Smoked Salmon Arrabbiata offered a wonderful, smoky kick.
Every dish demonstrated skill and passion. A perfect night out; we can’t wait to return!

We visited Luce Secondo and had an amazing time! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was beautiful, and the staff truly made the experience top-tier. We brought our one-year-old, and everyone was so kind, patient, and accommodating which any parent knows makes all the difference. From start to finish, we felt welcomed and taken care of. Highly recommend and definitely planning to come back! I don’t remember the name of our server but Thank you for being so Kind to our little one!!

Wonderful dining experience. Would be perfect for a fancy date or girls night. There were plenty of tables at 5pm on a Friday, but a reservation is recommended. There was live music, dim lighting, friendly and attentive staff. Our server Isaiah was so personable and kind, we took him up on his recommendation for the olive oil cake and it was delicious! Calamari was crispy and yummy, we enjoyed the goat cheese and pesto antipasto as well! Pasta was so good and wonderful wine.
Parking is available on the street or in the parking garage attached to the restaurant, bathrooms were clean and chic. Hostess staff were friendly and helpful. A lovely experience and wonderful food! Can’t wait to come back!

Second time here in two weeks. Each time I have had the mussels, calamari, and rack of lamb. Each time the food has been great.
My only complaint would be, that with the entree, the sides are very much an after thought. As you can see here, lamb cooked beautifully, but maybe 10 little pieces of roasted potato. No option for another side, such as broccoli, asparagus, etc., So you end up really paying $65 for four nice sized lamb chops. Our last visit, someone had the dry aged ribeye and the porkchop, and their sides were very minimal as well. if the sides were a little bigger, this place would be amazing!

I have been lurking on Luce’s socials for years before we finally came in. We made a reservation for our 10th wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint. The food, the atmosphere, the drinks, ALL superb. Isaiah and Luke were phenomenal with their service. We genuinely enjoyed our time talking with them at the table about wine, food, life. Truly an incredible evening and we can’t wait to come back. Looking forward to Heritage night on Monday thanks to Isaiah’s recommendation. We were treated to some nice surprises for our anniversary as well. Thank you so so much. Bravo to the Chef(s) as well!

Invited here by friends for small birthday celebration dinner. Waiter was extremely down to earth, communicative, and patient with us while we asked about the menu. Food however, extremely salty and overpriced. (At least what we ordered). We were told the $80 steak entree we were eyeing would be large enough to share but I disagree. Not to mention we were charged a $10 split entree fee when the bill came, never discussed while orders were taken.
Considering they have a full bar I ordered a martini (not one of Luce’s recipes but a popular classic I order any/everywhere I drink) and ALSO found myself paying a $4 upcharge per drink. Reason? Not off of their menu. We easily spent $50 worth of fees on our check- all undisclosed until payment time.
I had heard great things about this place prior but I can honestly say I am very disappointed. After spending upwards of $300 on a meal for 2 I should not have left feeling this way. I will not be back nor recommending this place to anyone anytime soon. Sorry
