I was looking forward to coming to Luce because my friend told me their portions were big and that their chicken parm was the best he'd ever had.
We arrived at around 2PM on a Saturday and ordered a drink. It then started going downhill. The server poured us some water, and spilled some on the table. Not a big deal, except for he never came back to wipe it up. It also took a bit of time for him to come back to take our order. My boyfriend ordered the chicken parm, and we were told they were OUT OF CHICKEN!?!?! From what I understand this is their signature dish appearing on lunch, dinner and their brunch menu. How are you out of chicken? We also ordered the arancini balls, and we were told they were OUT of it as well! I understand small restaurants running out of stuff, but at least give us a heads up before we mull over the menu for 15 minutes!
The portions are big. This is something I can agree with. I ordered the meatball pasta dish, and once I was full, it still looked like I didn't eat anything! The taste was ok. To be honest, I feel like it's something I could have made at home, but it was a comforting plate. Throughout the meal, no one came to check on us or ask my boyfriend for a refill. It was definitely a missed opportunity to sell more pints by them, and it made my boyfriend annoyed with the service.
I don't think we'll be back, just because the service was so slow.
