luce cucina italiano

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!greatplace for the whole family!

great food ,greatatmosphere , 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 isgreatfor couples, but i advise, please eat before going because you're food won't come any time soon.

great restaurant. this restaurant isgreat, i have been going there for while had no problem with the food or the service , they have lunch special for 5.99 which you can not beat any where . i dont know why people keep saying bad things about this restaurant , anywhere you go you while find people are not happy , that is not mean the restaurant is bad, i love this place.

quick update. still have the same old cash register! takes too long to decipher the bill. that being said....darn good food! best calzone ever!greatpizza! i drive ten miles from west columbia to meet my in-laws here for lunch. well worth the drive. only other thing you might want to bring with you is crackers to eat with your salad. they run out a lot. just say'in.

great pizza. my in-laws talked us into going here last night. i have been searching for a good pizza in the lexington/columbia area for years. well, finally found the place, luce cucina italiano. the restaurant is not fancy, but decorated in a very low key kind of way. the wait staff is very friendly. we ordered our 16 inch pizza with three different items and asked that each item be split into thirds. i like mushrooms, wife likes onions and oldest daughter likes pepperoni. the waitress said no problem and the pizza came out perfect.

the hand tossed pizza had the right amount of sauce, cheese, onions and pepperoni. (loved the onion slices) outside crust was just right, not too hard and not too soft.greatflavor. we will be back!

only minus to the evening was trying to pay the bill. there were four folks in front of me when we went to check out. it took 15 minutes to process these four tickets. when it was my turn, it took another 10 minutes for the cashier to try and enter the info into the 1980 style ncr register. she could not come up with the correct total. at one point she started to dress down our waitress right in front of me on how not to write up a order ticket. sad. a $499 point of sale computer could solve this issue.

hot. the place hasgreatfood, but the resteraunt is always hot inside. i hope it stays open, but i have doubts, as the owners aren't too willing to please the customer.

great italian fare with price and service to match. i have been visiting luce's for a while now and have never had a bad experience. one time i had to wait a while for a take out order, but the staff was courteous and i was compensated for the wait. other than that one time, everything has always beengreatin both service and quality. every dish i have had has beengreattasting and you can't beat the price! their new cheesy garlic knots are marvelous, and i recommend the brooklyn bridge pizza (i add chicken and banana peppers, but it isgreatas listed on the menu as well).
