Cozy little restaurant with the best homemade pasta! Absolutely loved my meal here. The salad is very fresh. The pastas are amazing and the sauces are so flavorful. Loved the grilled shrimp. Highly recommend!

This is a tiny restaurant where you may get to know your dining neighbors! It was pretty busy even quite early by NY standards. They do a happy hour until 6, with a nice selection of $10 wines. Our waiter was really nice. Honestly answered questions, there was no rush, soft spoken. Companion and I split the bruschetta pomodoro, 3 pieces, nice flavor. Not oily. They have a variety of sauces, and you can choose which homemade pasta to put it on. You can also add a protein if desired. We had fusilli with meatballs in a tomato sauce, and companion reported that it was great. The meatballs were large. I had the diavolo with fettuccine in a spicy tomato sauce. It came with about 5 or 6 shrimp. It was not overly spicy with good tomato and basil, garlic flavor. Overall great meal. Two issues-wish they had paper menus rather than a QR code….COVID is over. Also surprised they used paper napkins, not cloth. Also thanks for pricing the large bottle of Pelligrino at $8. A bargain!

Really enjoyed this Italian spot on a Sunday for lunch! Not too crowded and I recommend making a reservation! Enjoyed the unique limoncello pasta. We all enjoyed the bruschetta !

Café Luce was amazing from start to finish! We were seated right away, and the staff was super friendly and attentive throughout our meal. I had the Pollo Parmigiana and it was seriously the best pasta I’ve ever tasted — so flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portions were huge too, definitely a great value. Cozy atmosphere, delicious food, and great service — I’ll definitely be back!

The A la vodka was amazing. Pasta was perfectly cooked and made fresh. The blueberry cheesecake was like nothing I’ve tried before. Not too sweet, a little tart. Loved it!
