luce cucina italiano

i've eaten at luce's many times. the spicy chicken bowtie is awesome. i went yesterday for lunch and had a chicken sub with fries. so good. my friends had a chicken sub all the way and spaghetti and meatballs. we will be back.

the service was nice but very slow to get food to the table. the restaurant was very dirty (serioulsy, gross) and the pizza was horrible. the pizza had really good reviews on facebook. lies. all lies. it was absolutely awful. so were the garlic knots. not sure why so many people like it, but please take my word for it and do not go here for pizza.

fantastic place to eat!. we just had a party for my son's birthday last night, and the service was fantastic! the food was excellent! i cannot wait to return to eat dinner. love love love this newly found restaurant...we have been driving by for quite a while, and just never stopped in. please don't let any other neg. reviews steer you away! great place for the whole family!

the prices are cheap and for the price the food isn't too bad. it's not high quality italian food but for a cheap family night it's an okay option. it has a bit of a dingy feel but the service has always been friendly and their pizza is okay. overall, it's a place we take the kids when we don't feel like spending a lot but don't feel like fast food, either.

we ordered to go and we were not disappointed! it was amazing. we ordered the baked tortellini, the luces pasta, kids barbie ravioli and superman spaghetti. it was amazing. beats olive garden hands down and reminds me a lot of maggiano's in buckhead (atlanta). the portions are huge! we will definitely be eating here again!

depending on what your order food isn't too bad. don't go there for lunch because even though they are never busy it takes forever. i'm third generation italian so i'm a little biased but the only thing that we like there is the grilled chicken spaghetti. the first thing we always test at an "italian" restaurant is the meatballs- luce's are premade frozen from somewhere and super salty. the side salads are made in advance which you can tell by the fact that then onions inside have been in there long enough for the lettuce to become infused with the flavor. the wedding soup is the same as you would get at the grocery store in can from campbells or progresso - which isn't a compliment unless you like processed meat and soups. the reason for the 1 rating is mainly because a couple of weeks ago we ordered the usual chicken spaghetti and an appetizer of the spinach dip, the spinach dip wasn't really a dip at all- more if a can if opened cream of whatever soup with some thawed spinach in it- we couldn't eat it because it was super salty. i love salty stuff way more than my wife and if i can't eat it you better believe it's salty. i called the restaurant as soon as we tried this and was assured a credit for my next order. i attempted to order today and was told by the owner "tito" that my credit was only good for another super salty spinach dip- even though when i logged my initial complaint there was no stipulation. why would i want another disgusting appetizer that we can't eat? when we initially tried the meatballs in the restaurant and sent them back "tito" came out and "hand made" me some fresh ones which were just as salty and processed tasting as the first. so "tito" kudos to you for loosing a customer and his entire large family of $7- i've been in business for almost 20 years and we always stay true to our word and do our best to make things right. i'm about to spend almost $40 on pasta and some chicken and you can't honor what you said you would do? sad sad sad. lexington is lacking in the restaraunt category but no one i know will ever spend their hard earned money at your establishment again. 

i wish antonina's would come re-open.

wings were under cooked. sampler plater was over cooked. the angle hair pasta was bland. i've given r his place multiple chances. no more

might just have to give up on this place. we found luce's a few years back. since then it became our go to italian restaurant, good cheap food. over the last year or so this place has been going down hill. at one point they tried to offer delivery. it was a gamble whether or not they were offering it when you called. one time i decided to just pick up an order, was told to be there at a certain time. i showed up and one of my pizza's had not even been started (i was told by the hostess that kitchen wasn't paying attention, no wonder the chef had ear phones in). prices have also seemed to rise and quality gone down (if they even have the item desired). last thing i ordered was chicken parm. the chicken was good but the spaghetti was nasty. the waitress asked me what i thought so i told her. she said that was odd since the sauce was the same on both, but when i looked at my spaghetti the sauce was much thinner. that was when it dawned on me, they didn't bother to properly drain my noodles and so i was really eating watered down spaghetti.

great food , great atmosphere , we go there about once a week me and my family , love this place .

eat before arriving!. the food here was okay, a little oily for my taste. the wait was extremely long. had a party of 4 and waited over an hour for our entrees and waiting thirty minutes for appetizers (which were actually better than the entrees). after i spoke with a few friends, i was told it's customary for "the wait" in an authentic italian restaurant because you are suppose to enjoy family/friends and wine while waiting. italian restaurants are suppose to be more about enjoying the company of others.. i'm not exactly sure how true this is, but it's what i've been told. anyway, give it a try, the atmosphere is great for couples, but i advise, please eat before going because you're food won't come any time soon.

don't go when hungry.. we went on a friday night and had to wait over an hour and a 20 minutes for lukewarm food. asked to speak to kitchen mgr or owner and waitress said they won't come out of the kitchen. will not go back and advise you not to go there.

i love this place. the food is always consistently good as well as the service and their prices are decent. highly recommend making the trip.

good food and service. we had baked ziti, breadsticks and anti pasta salad, which all were good, but they serve no beer or wine. would have even better with a peroni.

great food you can't always count on the cooks though.it takes forever just to get an order out

their food flat out sucks. every time i have given this joke of a restaurant a chance, it's the same crap: mushy pasta and runny, tasteless sauce that somehow leaves the most atrocious after-taste in my mouth. not quality food at all. tastes like something a five year old made. if you like their food, you clearly have no tastebuds. nasty crap. very surprised this place hasn't gone out of business! po-dunk lexington needs to get a real italian restaurant.
