"1"^^ . "I went here last night for the first time to celebrate two friend's birthdays. One of the birthday girl had told me it was one of, if not her favorite restaurants in Charlotte. We went with a large group and started by having a drink at the bar.\n\nWe eventually made our way over to the large table that they had reserved for us. Given the large size of the party, the staff was definitely very accommodating. I'm pretty sure my friend who recommended the restaurant, has tried at least 50% of the menu over her visits there. \n\nI chose the Scallops - \"Pan seared sea scallops, olive oil smashed potatoes, black truffle, prosciutto chips.\" The scallops were some of the largest and best scallops I've ever had. Everything about the dish was perfect. The prosciutto chips literally melted in your mouth and I even shared one with the birthday girl.\n\nMy friend sitting on my other side, opted for a vegetarian dish, the Peperone - \"stuffed pepper, quinoa, vegetable risotto, roasted tomato coulis\". It was delicious. \n\nEveryone in the group left their plates looking like they had licked them clean. My boyfriend had the lasagna, and when I asked him if he liked it (as I stared at the empty plate), he said \"Yeah, but it's not as good as yours.\" Someone was just being nice because I am not that good of a cook, trust me. \n\nI would definitely return to Luce and as much as I loved the scallops, I know I would need to try out one of their other menu items."^^ .
