      Pasta Fagioli soup was excellent! Ribeye twice baked potato carrots excellent - peppercorn made it but if you don't like peppercorn this is not for you. Chocolate budino is like a mousse and good.

      I came here for dinner with my friend. We didn't have reservations but got seated right away. The service was great, the waitress was really helpful in explaining each dish for us.

      We ordered the fried brussel sprouts (5/5). This was so good, my favorite dish. It was perfectly crispy and the dressing was great. Definitely try this dish if you are dining here.

      Margherita pizza (4/5): this was a nice thin-crusted pizza. The portion was huge and the sauce to dough ratio was perfect. The dough could've been a bit fluffier but overall, it was a great pizza.

      Rigatoni pasta (3/5): This dish was okay. I liked the pasta, but I wasn't a big fan of the sauce.

      House cut fries (4/5): The house fries were good, they are thick and fluffy inside. I like my fries skinny and crispy. Though I did really like the truffle sauce.

      Overall, it was a lovely evening here. There's also a bar area inside the restaurant and outdoor seating.

      Big fan. The food is great. The drinks hit the spot. And the BBQ sauce is homemade!

      I've been many times. I recommend everything. I usually get the burger with extra bbq sauce. Breakfast pizza is great for brunch but truely everything on the menu is splendid.

      The parking can be moderately difficult. The lot fills up so you'll have to look in the neighborhood. The servers are friendly and I've never had trouble getting a table even when it's busy.

      Extremely attentive service, delicious food. It was hard to choose. Everything looked so good but I opted for the chicken piccata sandwich because I've never had such a delight. I had some kind of a mule that was delicious as well fun vibe, I would definitely return!

      This place has great energy! Our server seemed a bit new and missed some opportunities to make things right (something was wrong with my Coke and efforts to correct were minimal at best). The food was good! We had the chef's pizza with hot honey mustard and a lovely soft crust, as well as the beef cheek ravioli with crispy onion. I didn't care for that dish as much as I'd hoped - I found the onions a bit too strong and the sauce a bit too weak and thin, but I'm glad we tried it and we did finish it off!
      The pizza was delicious!

      In search of a kid-friendly lunch spot for a party of four (two moms and two 12 year old boys), I found Luce on Yelp... It checked all the boxes as it was close to the nearby San Diego Mission Bay Resort we were going to after lunch for pickle ball, it had a 4.5 star rating, it looked kid friendly, and appeared to have something for everyone on the menu.

      We found it easy enough, parked in their private lot, and walked in to get seated right away on a Sunday just after noon. Service was friendly and attentive and the vibe was chill and breezy due to the open air windows. The food was great too... I took our server's rec and had the tuna crab sandwich with avocado - highly recommend! My friend had a pizza, my son had scrambled eggs, toast and bacon, and his friend loved the breakfast burrito.

      When we walked out and I *almost* forgot my backpack, one of the staff ran it out to me. Thank you again, Luce... We will be back!

      Specials, tvs, great vibes, large open windows

      My wife and I were on a short vacation to San Diego and I saw in San Diego magazine that Troy Johnson recommended getting the lamb birria tacos at Luce, which is pretty close to the airport and it was definitely lunch time when we landed.

      I ordered an IPA from our great server from their good sized beer menu, one of two IPAs. They were both delicious.

      The tacos came out pretty quick with a side salad and Caesar dressing on the side. The meat was so juicy and delicious. Highly recommended, a lot of people were getting the tuna melt, which also looked amazing. I would definitely try that if I returned. The shells held up the moisture well, which is always a plus!

      I loved that all the windows were open to allow the perfect San Diego weather in. Definite must try if near the airport and in paradise!

      This is one of our favorite date spots. The bar seating is a nice outdoor setting. The staff has always been super friendly and accommodating. The food is a variety of good eats! Whether you want pizza, a burger, carnitas or their rotating specials, you are going to get quality food. The drinks are good! I wouldn't say I've had any light pours.
