if you like authentic Italian, this place is for you. There are many different pasta dishes to choose from and great salads, breads and desserts as well.
Service was amazing and outdoor seating is a plus during applicable seasons.
Great little spot off Burnside. No reservations and limited inside seating so I would plan to get their during less busy times or be willing to wait during the dinner rush.
The waitstaff was fantastic and recommended some very good wine.
I’m a big fan of the fact that they offer half portions!

10/10. Great service, amazing pasta and other plates. Wonderful variety, fair prices and authentic. Get the Rabbit ravioli! We’ll be back!
We have been to Luce maybe 10 times now. Every time we go we have a great time. Food is beyond delicious and the place is very charming. We usually let them choose what to eat and they never let us down. Prices are pretty cheap. Its worth getting halfs and sharing more plates with others! The panna
It’s hit or miss here. The rigatoni with red pepper sauce was the finest I’ve had. The radicchio supli (arancini) was delightful. It’s one of the $2 small plates so go crazy and order more than one! The orecchiette and farro Parmesan pie were too salty. The summer squash topped with a (lot of) parsl
This is my all-time fave small plates dining experience!
My friend and I ordered three apps, salads, and half plate pastas. We shared bites of everything. So delish!
The bottled wine selection is one of the best in the city. The staff is super knowledgeable if you need some direction.

Had a perfect meal here the evening before thanksgiving!! Everything was delicious— the wine, apps, pasta, salad, dessert. Great chic yet unpretentious vibes, small but mighty menu, perfect service. Pricing totally reasonable- love the half portion options for all salad and pasta so you can try what
Absolutely wonderful food and service. We will be back!
The food here is rustic and comforting. It makes me want to retire next to the Adriatic sea... there is warm octopus potato salad that is so humble, and one of the best dishes in the city! Small bites are a great way to start and quickly be excited by what is yet to come. Parmesan and farro pie will
Favorite restaurant in Portland. Love the atmosphere and simple flavors. Very very delicious, great for dates
If you want good pasta, this is the place to go. I loved that they offer half and full size orders. This enabled us to order a few dif ones to share. We got two half size pastas at $10 each (full was just double the price), a salad (was huge enough to share), a dessert and corked a bottle of wine
We came by on a Friday evening just after 6:00 and got a table inside right away. I got a great wine recommendation from our server, and we were well taken care of the whole meal. The food was all incredible, but the sleeper hit was the tomato focaccia!
The food was decent. The service was great. Our server was able to recommend wine and also was able to let us know if we ordered enough food. Since the entrees can be ordered in half orders and the antipasti are small, it was hard for us to determine what would be sufficient. Our server recommended
Incredible Italian restaurant! Option to order half portions of the pasta which is a great idea if you want to share multiple ((since they are absolutely delectable and you MUST try more than 1)) or simply aren't famished and just looking for a small dish. Great service, lovely staff, and perfectly
cavatelli and focaccia were fire and the interior is super cute. our waiter was so kind as well💝💝
Nice place with fresh pastas, kinda intimate/dimly lit vibe it would be a good place for a date night. Patio tables with heaters available. I liked our server a lot but don’t recall their name, they seemed fun.
My friend and I shared everything, I think it’s great that they offer smaller portions o
Came here for a Saturday night dinner during my trip to Portland. The place was fairly busy but no waiting at around 9. We got a seat. The place looked pretty nice with a cozy vibe. I ordered the hangar steak and half a portion of tagliatelle. The steak was perfect and so was the tagliatelle with be
What a lovely, casual place to enjoy fine wine and delicious food. I will be back.
Great no frills Italian. Personally I’d order half portions and try all the pastas possible. I’d highly recommend the stuffed trout but there was not a bad dish from everything we ordered.
