Excellent service. A small but cozy and beautifully decorated space. The main detractor for the atmosphere was the fact that we were seated next to a loud party, although of course that isn’t the restaurant’s fault but does reflect the space constraints. My favorite dish was the spaghetti alle vongole. I didn’t find the desserts particularly exceptional (the chocolate mousse cake and the tiramisu).

We spend a little bit of time in the Cafe. The atmosphere was very calm and cute. We had little chat with the server. She was so kind. Coffees tasted wonderful. Pistachio cake was delicious and I loved the lemon taste with pistachio. If you need a quiet time in the crazy city give a chance this little cafe.

I noticed this restaurant 2 years ago while in the city on a work trip. It piqued my interest because it looked automatically Italian and I was just back from Italy. Kept the location and FINALLY made it back!
Food is DELICIOUS! Charming interior. Delicious St. Germain spritzer. Very eager to go back to the city and dine here again. There are so many dishes I want to try.
GO!!

A super lovely and cozy spot, with friendliest staff! You won’t believe how narrow the floors are and yet how these guys manage to create a perfect experience for the guests. We loved our both dishes and the focaccia bread. Creamiest Alfredo I’ve had in North America, fr! So happy to have found this gem near our place, won’t have to travel all the way to west village for some great fresh homemade pasta! Thank you Cafe Luce, we WILL be back

My wife and daughter and I came for brunch on Saturday early afternoon. Collectively we had Cacio e pepe, limoncello, and arrabiata with an added burrata (definitely do this)! The food was super quick and insanely good! Note to Cafe Luce- your menu is phenomenal! we would love to see a pasta fight as we had a tough decision to make so why not make it there in a fight! Sorry quick edit. I meant pasta flight but my typing is not great lol

The food was delicious, the gluten free pasta was really good, you couldn’t tell the difference. We came for lunch and had some happy hour drinks. The place looks so cozy and authentic. I really had a great time.

It was my grandson‘s birthday. We had the most fabulous meal. The pasta was incredible. The service was fantastic. We can’t wait to come back again. If we’re ever in this neighborhood again as we are from Dallas, Texas!

Review for Brunch
Ambiance (3/5): The establishment is split into two narrow rooms, divided by a wall. The interior is extremely cramped between the tables and thereby felt tight despite an empty dining experience during a Sunday brunch. Seats feel tight. There were approximately 3 parties in each of the rooms. The inside is cozy and nicely decorated.
Service (5/5): Due to the number of dining patrons, I felt like our service was on-point and we were helped often. They forgot the soft drink we ordered twice. They were polite in waiting to give us the check while we loitered and chatted.
Brunch 11am-4p (3/5): I was not impressed with either dish we ordered.
Eggs Royale: A fancy eggs Benedict. The salmon cuts had an after taste. The side salad was refreshing and well-seasoned.
Croque Madame: The sandwich was hefty/filling. The gravy on top lacked something. The fingerling potatoes had a nice flavor of rosemary.

I booked our office holiday dinner here, and I’m so glad we chose this place. It’s such a lovely and cozy spot. Our event was for 25 guests, and everything was perfect. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. They even created a cute personalized menu just for us and accommodated a vegan meal option. It was truly a wonderful and memorable event from start to finish.

The staff were so nice and incredible. They made sure we felt welcomed and accommodated! It wasn’t too crowded Sunday afternoon so we were able to pick a table in the corner.
The foot was great and the portions were HUGE! I highly recommend this place if you need a chill lunch or dinner with friends.
We always were given time to decide on our order as well. Our waitress was very friendly and gave great recommendations.
