Luce - Portland

Can not recommend this place enough! Yes, wait was long, but the working people were so friendly and attentive as it was longer than expected. they were really busy, but still they took care of it. (they can get wein while they wait on the way others than the great service that was eating was also amazing. I love the format of the menu, so many small (inten) plates to add so that they can try many different things. I went with a group of four and we did a few antipastos, a few pages and a few half pastas and that was perfect. everything was delicious!

Luce was a unique experience. they have small plates reasonably priced that are wonderful tasting. last night we experienced the fennel and dillsalat, small bite of parmesan farro cake(yum) marinated beats, carrots and mushrooms. They also served homemade for focacia brot. for dinner we had garnel with linguini. Although it was very tasty, it was not my favorite part of the meal. I'm not usually a dessert person, but her pana citta with kiefersirup was amazing.

Went here super last minute, because the original restaurant we had planned for dinner was closed early. so glad we landed here! really one of the best culinary experiences I had in portland, if not ever. the restaurant is small but has so much charm and a very intimate feeling. we sat inside, but it is available in free. the server and staff were so friendly and helpful. our server supported us in choosing the best wein to supplement our meal. I ordered the captivating with prosciutto and a poppy seed cream, which was heavenly, the pasta was so fresh and tasteful. I also enjoyed how they offered half-part orders. half an amount salat and half order of pasta was the perfect amount of food for a person, and it was very reasonable price! I wouldn't change anything about my experience at luce. I will come back every time I am in portland! Please add this stunning place to their list of places to check!

Absolutely phenomenal. so good eating and friendly staff. 10/10 will be back. Can't say enough how good that was eating, an immediate favorit. nnnnd super cool to see how leaves are made by pasta in the back!

Stunning, authentic, and creative farm-to-table Italian food with an enviable wine list and knowledgable staff. We had an outstanding meal last night, enjoying one of the best orange wines I've ever had from La Stoppa. Our server was friendly, helpful, and made excellent recommendations. Luce's small-plate-forward menu is friendly for vegetarians, and led us to a diverse and delicious smattering of creative plates. 10/10 stars to the Luce team. I plan to be back here once a month for dinner.
