I was in town a couple of weeks ago, Hanging out with my brothers and we were looking for a place…read moreto grab a bite and some drinks with friends. So we ended up choosing Luce. This spot definitely got a nice date night vibe to it. Darkly lit. Super chill hostess but limited seating. There are maybe 6 to 8 tables total including a L shape bar that you can pull up to which is exactly where we sat. The bartender was really on point the night we visited. Immediately took our order, gave us a quick perusal of the drinks, and then promptly poured three different types of spirits, a wine for my first brother, a vodka and cranberry for my second and a whiskey flight that they had on the special for myself. We enjoyed all three. In terms of food, we ordered a couple of different appetizers, including the pizza. And I actually was hoping we were going to order dinner because all of the entrees that we saw hit the bar around us looked fantastic. We ended up connecting with a really cool local business owner by the name of Sonny, who is also at the bar having a bit of dinner before heading back to his Shop. That made the overall night even better. This is definitely a spotI will be checking out when I'm back in town.

The mashed potatoes came in a large portion, they were so delicious the way you would make it at home, with the skin and chunks of potato. I can't wait to return !

Tammy made sure we had plenty of fresh, homemade, warm Italian bread... DELIZIOSA! Needless to say, we had to take a large portion of our lunch home. Tammy kept our glasses full, engaged in conversation, and truly made the three of us feel welcomed. The Sister Squad is looking forward to visiting Regino's again and making it a "regular stop" on our adventures south.

My wife and I stopped here for dinner on a Wednesday…read more Location: Not the easiest place to find and even though there are marked parking in the rear of the building, the entrance is in the front. Not a lot of parking in the front, but plenty behind. There is a large patio that has vinyl walls, but it doesn't look to be air conditioned at all. Inside is very small and is essentially the kitchen. They were remodeling so the dining room section was closed off. Unfortunately, it was very warm in the area we sat in. Waitstaff: Absolutely wonderful! Our server made our drinks and was knowledgeable in all of the cocktails we asked for which was a breath of fresh air because many places we have gone are not familiar with The Last Word or a Boulevardier (seems odd to me). Food: They started off with some bread and salted butter. We thought it was a little too salty for our tastes, but good none the less. We tried the watermelon salad and clams. Both were really, really good and would highly recommend both. We finished with a fig tart that was excellent! Overall: For the evening, I would rate this a 4.5 restaurant. Kind of funky with the seating, not thrilled with the temperature, but the food and drinks made it worth it. I would definitely recommend.

We read the sign to seat ourselves and found a tucked away booth away from the chill of the outdoors. Our server was sweet. My husband asked about the Cesar salad consistency , oily or creamy....she said creamy but it was oily. Anyway, tho it wasn't what he preferred, he said it was still good. Our server wasn't too attentive. I would have liked a second glass on wine when dinner arrived. I ordered the marinated chicken breast with added pesto and provolone cheese, very tender, juicy and it had a great pesto flavor! However, the Greek potatoes, as my side dish of choice, was disappointing. The potatoes were over cooked, over seasoned and over oiled. My other choice of a side was steamed broccoli and it was very fresh, hot and (beautifully green ) served with roasted whole garlic cloves. My husband ordered the ziti Fellini ( with smoked tomatoes, chicken, mushrooms in a cream sauce). He enjoyed it. The place looks like a well loved neighborhood charm. I felt as if a lot of regulars were there.

I got the veggie lasagna that had artichokes and was unchewable. The pizza had no flavor and the Caesar salad needed ranch dressing to make it tolerable.

I would not drive out of my way to go there but if I'm hungry and in the area... why not. It beats going the fast food route of the things in that area. The service is what pulled this restaurant a 4 out of 5 stars. Otherwise they would probably have a 3 just for food.

We also ordered the Pesto Chicken and pepperoni flatbreads, and everything from the starters to the entrées was delicious. I loved the raspberry peach sangria. I especially enjoyed learning about how their wines are created in-house, which added something special to the experience.

Our server was a knowledgably friendly young lady with great timing and service. Highly recommend the zesty grilled shrimp appetizer with the peach dipping sauce. A starter winner. She loved the tortellini rose with added chicken. I enjoyed the roasted pesto chicken for our entrees. Both dishes were awesome. We both enjoyed glasses of sangria with our meal. We finished by sharing a slice of their Lemonberry Mascarpone cake with some decaf coffee. Moist and creamy. Another hit. This was a great date night.
