My husband can’t stop raving about the brined pork chop dish he got. I must admit it was outrageously tender and juicy with an amazing mushroom sauce. I’ll be getting it on our next visit! Great service and loved the live music!

Luce is a very nice and reasonably priced restaurant. The flavors of our meal were rich very well put together. The steak was buttery and melted in your mouth. The a la vodka sauce on the pasta (GF option) was nicely done... The tiramisu was amazing with very rich and creamy flavors! Overall the experience was great!

Elizabeth, our server, made our date night special with her attentive service. She was knowledgeable of the menu and had a great personality. My only complaint is the portion size of the scallop risotto. The entrée is so delicious. I just wish it was a bit bigger.

Unpopular opinion but I didn't have the best of luck with my taste buds this night. The creme brulee had too much whiskey taste that night... everything was covered in too much sauce. Mussels were good but they only came with two tiny pieces of bread. We asked for more and it cost like 3.50 for 4 more small pieces. If you sit in the perimeter of the restaurant, the vent is blowing cold air on you. Had to keep my jacket on the whole time. Our server was wonderful and the environment was loud and upbeat. I'll have to give it another chance one day.

Another delicious dinner celebrating my friend’s birthday. Our server, Nikia, was attentive and gave us excellent service, as always. We split the special lobster appetizer, delicious. Our dinners, wine and desserts were as well. Thanks to chef and staff for another delectable dining experience. We’ll be back!

We regularly enjoy your Norfolk location; tonight we were introduced to Luce Secondo and loved it! We tried some new dishes and cocktails that were delicious and left us wanting to return - which we will. Outstanding service, ambiance, music, and of course delicious food. Luce is superior in every way ! How about opening a location in VB ?

We enjoyed the atmosphere, food, wine and dining experience. The server was very relaxed and experienced. The wine sommelier was excellent and really knew her wine list and was most helpful. The booth seating was very low for a taller person and height of the diner should be considered when seating at banquet seating versus a 4 top table in the main dining room or along the window. Overall a nice evening and we would come again.

First of all… this was our second time having dinner there and I have to say, it was quite nice yet again. Elizabeth, our waitress was Awesome and AMAZING! The hostess was accommodating in honoring in seating us at our requested table. My husband’s veal that he ordered was a bit overcooked and the kitchen easily fixed it and replaced his entree with a fresh different meal. I thought the lighting was a bit bright.. it’s a very nice restaurant and I thought the lighting would be a bit softer.. a little bit of an ambiance?? I wish they had a little bit of a dress code as people are walking in with pajamas and booty shorts, which can be very inappropriate . Other than that.. it’s a great restaurant and our experience was great.

I absolutely love the restaurant in Norfolk but I this missed the mark here. The lamb was over cooked and the dry aged rib-eye was not worth it. Good food but not elevated and worth the price they are charging. Very nice restaurant with good atmosphere but food didn’t match the price. The drinks were amazing though.

In my 40+ years of cooking Italian food and running many restaurants all I can say is WOW. Let’s first start with the gorgeous ambiance as soon as you walk in. The professional greeting from the hostess to the knowledgeable sommelier and the unbelievably talented waitstaff. THE FOOD beyond words perfectly plated , use of “the best” quality of ingredients and the extremely talented and exceptional vision of the chef/ owner on Italian cuisine. I haven’t been this overwhelmed about a place in a very long time. Make yourself a reservation and prepare yourself to be totally blown away!

Overall had a great dinner and this was our 2nd time here. Celebrated my wife's birthday and it was a great place to go celebrate. Food was amazing, the baby octopus for our appetizer was spectacular and both our meals and dessert was spot on. My only criticism is both my Wife and I do not drink alcohol and they only offer 2 "mocktails" and both are not very over the top for a place of this caliber. A lot of places offer a wider verity of Non-alcohol / Mocktail drinks today with more and more people choosing not drink alcohol.
