My Thanksgiving dinner with family in upstate New York got snowed out. When friends found out they immediately said that they would pick me up at 3:45. I became the fourth at a 3-top in a sold out restaurant. Problem was I had eaten earlier but with the great fresh bread and dipping oil, two apps, a share of a Caesar salad, two Negronis and an Affogato I certainly did fine. The appetizer of Diver Scallops was beautifully plated and delicious. The Caesar salad at Luce is the best ever and the Grilled Asparagus were just perfect. Who can resist a Negroni or two [not I]. The deCaf Affogato was a super creamy way to end a perfect meal. The traditional Turkey meal looked especially inviting but my meal suited ne better, Service was at a perfection level with a fully crowded dining room. I missed seeing family but didn't miss the 5 hour round trip to New York!

We had our rehearsal dinner and welcome drinks on the patio the night before our wedding. Sammy was great to work with to ensure our dinner went smoothly as well as welcome drinks. The food came out hot and the portions were perfect. The stuffed eggplant was everyone's favorite as well as the sausage rigatoni. We had the best night can't thank Sammy enough for helping to make this happen!

STUNNING restaurant with FABULOUS food!!! We had my brother's rehearsal dinner here and it was incredible. I loved my espresso martini and aperol spritz. The appetizer with thinly sliced eggplant, sauce, and cheese blew me away. The fish and chicken were perfectly cooked on our entrees. I was so impressed!!! You won't regret coming here.

Lovely outdoor space and wonderful unpretentiousness service. Good portions and well executed food. A bit heavy handed with the salt, but not as overseasoned as the last meal I had in another restaurant thankfully.

I went to meet a couple of friends at Luce in Middletown for lunch. I've passed by Luce, many times in the past, but I have never gone inside. They have their own parking lot, which is so nice, as for most places in the area parking on the street is the only option. Luce has a beautiful outdoor patio, in the shade and surrounded by beautiful plants and flowers. They have white table cloths on the tables outside. Our waiter was lovely, he came to check up on us several times. At first we were busy catching up, and then we looked at the menus. I got the Roasted Beet Salad, my friends each got the Luce salad. This salad was so fresh, rich, nutritious and colorful. The beet slices were very generous, there were also apple slices, very fresh goat cheese, and candied walnuts. My friends also enjoyed their salad. The Luce salad is one I would likely get the next time I visit. We followed with cappuccinos and a slice of Tiramisu. This was an excellent slice of the freshest house made Tiramisu. It was so creamy, fluffy and absolutely delicious! We had a great lunch at Luce, and will be returning soon.

I think it's about time for an update to my previous review 6 years ago. I have becoming to this establishment every so often for celebrations or when other friends and family are craving Luce, but I've never really recommended it. This past Friday my parents daughter and I tried it out and everything was delicious! Everything! My daughter and I shared the ribeye and it was humongous delicious and perfectly cooked. My parents both got the sea bass special and were blown away. It should be on the main menu cause I took a bite and loved it as well. Thank you Luce for making our night so memorable. Now I can't wait to come back and will start to make this my own recommended spots whenever I'm in the area!

Anniversary dinner, we had a quiet and pleasant night. Ambiance was good, service ok, To bad we couldn't admire the fire place, it wasn't cold enough for it. The restaurant has a beautiful and a very well lit patio. I would give this place 5 stars if it wasn't because the waitress forgot to place the order for my dish and I have to share my husbands dinner.
