  • "cute cozy little restaurant, but there is no valet parking and it's hard to find parking in the small lot. The front desk doubles as the coat check. If you're not with a big party, you'll be at a tiny table. Nice night out, we weren't rushed at all, but I wasn't impressed at all either. $$$ for something that should be $1/2..."

  • "Be transformed to the cuisine and warmth of Northern Italy. This family owned restaurant welcomes you as soon as you arrive. The table is set beautifully including olives, chunks of Parmesan and fresh breads to taste while choosing your favorite wines. Dinner can be romantic for two or fun for large for groups too. Luce is a North Shore gem on Long Island."

  • "Food hot, served in timely fashion, tasty but not exciting , staff only ok. High ceilings amplified sounds and made table talk near impossible and lack of decent decorating put ambiance at a new low."

  • "Luce never disappoints. we went with some friends for the first time and they all thought Luce was great."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "First time at LUCE and it was very nice. Service was very good. Baked clams, grilled calamari and the Ne Zealand mussels were great starters. I had the crabmeat grouper for my main and it was superb. Nice win list also! A bit on the pricer side but worth it!"
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Who would think that such a staple like Chicken Parmigean could be so good, highly recommend this dish."
    Dined on 2/1/2014
  • "Every time I go here the food gets better and better, word must be getting out because the bar and restaurant are packed. Great food, service and value. Homemade Rigatoni was spectacular."
    Dined on 1/24/2014
  • "never got into a discusson about what I order and a disagreement from server Slow service"
    Dined on 12/31/2013
  • "Generous pour on cocktails wine with ample table taste bites & warmed panne, so you don't necessarily have to go with an appetizer (us seniors are not interested in chowing down or are we always interested in taking uneaten courses home). Soups are outstanding and main course really special and generous. Dolce fantastic. Dispite this being New Years Eve and an early dinner service was paced so no one was rushed and staff was very amiable. Never been disappointed after serveral visits. This was previously the home of Restaurante Giarosole."

  • "Luce was yummy~ My app was amazing, Burrata was a perfect temp, (too cold & the ricotta cheese inside firm, too warm and it becomes runny), ripe beefsteak tomatoes & the Prosciutto, imported "Di Parma". My entrée I had the Bronzino, which was deboned tableside perfectly, we also had the Papardelle Bolognese which was not a traditional Pappardelle pasta (flat, thin, wide ribbon, but a lasagna type pasta) still delish and would definitely order it again.The service was very professional, courteous & attentive... My only disappointment would be the interior does not live up to its culinary rank...it needs a more sophisticated and updated décor, but it's definitely not a factor when looking for a great dining experience!"

  • "My wife and I have visited this restaurant many times, but have not been here for some time. It was nice to return and have such a wonderful dining experience. We won't wait so long between visits."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "My wife and I moved to Oyster Bay this year and we've found ourselves returning to Luce for dinner again and again. We are never disappointed. Every dish has been incredible, and the staff is always attentive and courteous. We'll be back soon!"

Gracious welcoming us and excellent in making dinner recommendations. Would recommend LUCE to anyone and we will certainly come back."

  • "Luce Ristorante is the restaurant I look forward to when visiting Long Island on our annual NY trip. The food is DELICIOUS, the staff are friendly, funny and welcoming and the restaurant itself is very pretty whether you're eating inside or out. This combination makes Luce my favourite restaurant by far! It has a brilliant atmosphere and is a perfect spot for families, groups or couples. We've only just got back to England and I'm already looking forward to going back next year and ordering my personal fave; Luce's Chicken Parmegian!! Keep up the great work guys."

  • "The owner is there every night to make sure everything is going smooth and it is!!! There is nothing but top notch food here and we love this place!!!! Very romantic and great wine list! Also, when they pour you a glass of wine, it's a FULL glass of wine!!!! Most places only pour you a half glass, not here they know how to take care of their customers, hands down!!!"

  • "We eat out almost every night and Lucw is by far our favorite Resturant. Great food great service."
    Dined on 8/23/2013
  • "If you favor upscale, Northern Italian cuisine, this is the place to be. What's so good? The food, the wine, the service, the atmosphere. The desserts, alone, are magnificent! An extensive menu of mouth-watering creations is served by a professional, courteous, knowledgeable staff....NOT college-kid-of-the-week. From the complimentary olives and Reggiano Parmesan all the way to the wide selection of Grappa or Port for "afters", you're in for a culinary treat at this fine establishment. The generous hospitality of owners Dom & Linda further leave you with the impression that Luce has earned it's "upscale" status. Upscale, yes, but for the diner: money well spent."

  • "One of my favorite local restaurants. The food is usually outstanding, but this time my special of swordfish with crab was served without the lobster cream sauce."
    Dined on 8/15/2013
  • "Great pastas but the service is usually better. Would go back again though"
    Dined on 8/10/2013
  • "Good food and experience. Though there seemed to be a considerable number of staff, table attention could have been better as there were unnecessary delays in ordering, receiving check, etc."
    Dined on 8/9/2013
  • "Luce not only gives you great service but food was awesome, just came back from Italy, and this is the first meal I have enjoyed since I came back."
    Dined on 8/5/2013
  • "I've been going to Luce' for lunch and dinner for a few years. The food and service has always been excellent. Anyone I have ever brought there have been very impressed. Great for a romantic or group dinner. This is not a cheap restaurant, but well worth the price if you appreciate a great ambiance, a friendly / accommodating staff and awesome food."

  • "We went with another couple to this neighborhood restaurant. We sat outside. The waiter was terrible and unprofessional. He had an "i don't care attitude". He didn't have any interest in guiding us through the menu for any suggestions , since it was our first time. We were looking out onto the parking lot...once he took the order, we never saw him again. The food was ok, certainly not worth the $50 main course the $123 bottle of wine.... This deserves one star.....train your staff better, be on top of them. We expect more when we dine out, so should you."
    Dined on 7/27/2013
  • "Good food, slow service. Crowd is easily 50+ in terms of age. Our risotto was overcooked."
    Dined on 7/27/2013
