I ordered zucchini sticks and mushroom Alfredo with grilled chicken ($6 upcharge) and water to drink. The zucchini sticks were served hot and fresh very crispy but bland. The mushroom Alfredo was good creamy The grilled chicken came cubed up and tossed it you don't get a lot of chicken for the price. This place is very narrow it was empty when I was there but if it was full it would be difficult to get around and people would be sitting very close

Cafe Luce was one of our favorite meals in New York! The food was delicious and tasted like authentic homemade Italian cooking. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The service was outstanding—friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our entire visit. Traveling with kids can sometimes be challenging when dining out, but the staff made us feel right at home, and our kids absolutely loved the meal. It truly hit the spot for our whole family after a busy day in the city. We would definitely return and highly recommend Cafe Luce to anyone looking for great Italian food and excellent service.
