We reserved the elegant, sunlit private room at this restaurant to host the rehearsal dinner in honor of our son's wedding. From the reservation process to the event itself and settling the bill, every aspect proceeded seamlessly and met our expectations. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and friendliness, the venue was impeccably maintained, and the cuisine was of excellent quality. You should definitely try this place if you're nearby; it's highly recommended. We are looking forward to visiting Luce again in the near future.

We held a recent event for 50 people in the patio area this past Friday. The food, service and atmosphere were lovely. Everyone commented on the family style meal. It was delicious. The staff were very attentive. We were very happy and look forward to having a dinner one evening there in the near future. It’s a pretty restaurant. Highly recommend them for small get togethers.

Luce is phenomenal! We got married in the area and they stayed open until 2 AM to let us host our after party there! There is an absolutely gorgeous indoor/outdoor space that our guests loved. We worked with Ramo to arrange the event - he is the best!! So accommodating and flexible.

Wow is all I can say about how great the food, staff, and overall experience is at Luce. You really can't do better for authentic Italian in CT. Check them out ASAP and you will go back again and again.

This was a wonderful place for an upscale dinner. I had the lamb chops and they were fabulous. Our service was very attentive and we enjoyed our experience very much. We will definitely be back.

We had our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner here in the sunroom and it was perfect! The table setting and room was elegant and the service was top notch. Everyone was raving over the food. It was delicious. Every detail was taken care of by the owner and his superb staff. We didn’t even have to think…just eat! We are so happy and would recommend this restaurant to anyone whether it’s an event or a night out.

Very delightful place. Menu has something for everyone. Food came out in a timely manner. Server was attentive. Portobello mushroom panini was delicious. Fried calamari was done to perfection. Great atmosphere for outside dining. We will be back again.

Great service, great food! To start I had the sirloin tips with garlic mashed potatoes and a side of broccoli rabbi. The other dish pictured was a organic chicken over potatoes and spinach. For desert we had espresso and coffee with cannoli and hot lava cake with homemade ice cream. Everything was delicious! The hostess Nita was super friendly. The wait staff was kind! Definitely recommend this place!

EDIT: Food Poisoning: The below was my initial review Of this restaurant. However, between 4-6 hours after eating, my wife began vomiting. She had a stiff neck, headache and body aches. Classic presentation of food poisoning. Sooo…these things happen from time to time, but unfortunately I cannot stand by my initial 4-Star rating. ORIGINAL RATING: This is a nice restaurant in downtown Middletown with large indoor seating, bar and outdoor dining. Wonderful place to do a large event under the tent with its own mobile bar and round tables. The bar makes quality drinks to standard and has the LARGEST selection of mixed drinks of any restaurant in all of Middletown. Their pasta dishes are rich, savory and delicious! . Personally, I would choose to pair some of their entrees with a different type of pasta. For example, the Veal Scallopini Luce Combo is served with orecchiette, but It would be amazing if instead they used a nice gemelli or pappardelle to absorb all the delicious sauce instead of just pooling in the orecchiette. The portions were very generous. The French onion soup was tasty. Follow-me for more food reviews!

Garbage. Extremely disappointing experience. I ordered the swordfish, which tasted off—I mentioned this to the staff—and I later became ill, and the symptoms are still ongoing. The overall quality of the food was very poor, including the so-called onion soup, and the service did nothing to improve the situation. This was well below the standard I would expect from even an average restaurant.
