Reviews for Luce in Charlottesville, VA
A literal hole in the wall! Great pasta and pizza! Everything is to go In pretty convenient packaging. I recommend the bolo... pasta but there is also some vegetarian options as well! Read more
A brightly lit, literal hole-in-the-wall for the BEST takeaway home-made pasta you will probably ever find. It?s really hard to... find a decent al dente-cooked pasta made so well in the states, and this little spot will surprise you with its quality andflavor. Complimenti to the chef who never sits down, and buon appetito! Read more
This place is a hidden gem! Literally a hole in the wall, but the food was amazing! Beautiful hand cut pappardelle cooked... aldente and pork ragu, with maybe a hint of cumin? It was very good. Pizza margherita was excellent as well, with a slighthint of sourdough in the crust. Very unique little spot! It is a little expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for. Read more
We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The employees showed excellent service and made excellent foods. Presentation... was top tier. We came during the rush and we?re still served promptly. I?m incredibly impressed with the food, service, andoverall experience. We had the special and a margherita pizza which were both terrific and got the CT crunch gelato to go whichI can?t wait to dig in to. The special was a mushroom, roasted red pepper, and golden tomato sauces ravioli which was filledwith goat cheese. The specials don?t miss. S-Tier work and a must have. Read more
Paid $12 for a special spicy sausage con vodka pasta. The pasta was delicious (not broken, so a little sloppy to eat). The... celery could be cooked more (it was very cruncy). I prefer the efficiency and accessibility of this place over a sit downItalian restaurant. Read more
Food gets a 5 for taste, value and ingenuity. Yum and fresh. Picture is spaghetti with shaved zucchini, pesto, mint and... tomatoes. We also enjoyed the papardelle with pork ragu. I'd add a star for slightly better packaging only because theperfectly cooked pasta keeps cooking in the current takeaway container. Read more
It?s hand-made, fresh pasta in a cup! (He does pizza too but i haven?t tried). Quite literally a hole in a wall, it?s the best... one-man show you?ll ever find. While it seems like you might wait a while, I got my pasta in about 1 minute. The ragú in the?bolo? pasta is absolutely divine. The portion sizes are bigger than they look - he really packs the pasta in there. Correction- there is at least a second guy in a nearby kitchen. Read more
This is a magnificent hole in the wall pasta place, literally! It's take out/outdoor seating only, and all the pastas are served... in cardboard containers, so it's feels very comfortable and casual. They do also serve pizzas Thursday through Saturday, but Iwent on a Tuesday so wasn't able to try them. As for the pasta, this was some of the best and most authentic pasta I've had inthe U.S.! It was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauces were magnificent. The meatballs were fantastic as well. This was anabsolutely incredible find and I would highly recommend it to anyone in the area!
