Luce - Nob

Food, drinks and overall great service, must do and will do again, servicer Gabrielle was the best

We visited Luce for my husband’s birthday dinner tonight. Before he joined us I shared with the server that we were waiting for my husband and it’s his birthday. She immediately said they don’t do anything special for birthdays. Interestingly I didn’t ask for anything special. Something about me and my party I guess made her think we wanted a free dessert, or song and dance?? Nothing about this place, vibe, and price says I’m coming here for something free. Anyway we felt a bit rushed but maybe the waitress was trying to be attentive? The food was fantastic, undeniably. But the service made me a bit uncomfortable. Still good food and company saved the dinner. We tipped our server well because that’s what we do. I don’t anticipate returning and honestly, I don’t think this establish minds.

Freezing cold; a small refrigerator buzzing with people. Food was too salty; Ahi tuna stake was cut into small pieces and hid under a red sauce and polenta…store bought cake for desert. Not worth the buck

The apps were very delicious, I would definitely come back just for the octopus. The entrees, on the other hand, fell a little flat for me in terms of flavor. I'd be willing to give it a another shot in the future.

What a gem! First time visiting Norfolk and we were looking for a nice meal after a seven hour drive into town. We prefer to dine at locally owned businesses, and Luce did not disappoint. The service was excellent and everything we had was superb mushroom roast, gamberi limon, rigatoni e fungi, fantastic drinks. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Norfolk.
