Reviews for Luce Ristorante E Enoteca in San Antonio, TX

This was the first time we've ever been there. I was really excited to see that they had calamari and fried zucchini in the same... appetizer. The zucchini was very wet and the breading was coming off. We ordered pasta fagoili and the beans were hard. It wastoo bad because the flavor of the soup was very good. I ordered the lobster ravioli. The sauce was very good but the lobster wasovercooked. My husband ordered the fresh fish roulade and he liked it fine. I tasted it also and it was good. I ordered thetiramisu and that was okay too. I'm not sure if we'll give this place another chance or not. There were some hits and misses.The atmosphere was very nice though. I like how the walls are covered in wine bottles. Read more

Second time here and this time it was definitely a better experience. Tried the restaurant week menu. Lobster ravioli was... flavorful. The bread was nice and warm. The waitress was also very attentive and friendly. I will visit again. Read more

Visited this location for a special event not during regular business hours. The food was superb, and service was fast &... friendly! Started off with delicious meatballs and bruschetta appetizers along with mimosas. Entrées included steak, rigatoniwith spicy sausage and meatballs or Halibut on top of a creamy shrimp & asparagus risotto, which is what I had. Beautifulrestaurant all around...food, ambiance, and service. Looking forward to returning for a nice dinner sometime soon! Read more

An endearing low key Italian spot with one of the best happy hours in town! We like it enough that we went for Valentines Day,... which is pretty high praise. I do wish they had more than two drinks on the happy hour menu. How about an old fashioned or a ginand tonic? Read more

Luce Ristorante is a quaint, Italian restaurant with attentive staff and a personable, gracious owner.The outside seating is... decked out in lights, landscaping, and a fireplace. The inside is beautiful with wine bottles on display and high ceilings aswell as rich decor. We loved the full bar and delicious appetizers. The calamari was perfect, as well as all our drinks. We willbe back! Read more

In general the experience was good, although I had higher hopes for the food. We went for Restaurant Week and it was a very... good deal in comparison to other RW offers. The food, however, was not great. The highlight of the night was the mussels inspicy sauce. They were abundant, served piping hot and, very satisfying (although they were on the verge of being over salted). The rest of the food was average - the bread (meh); the linguini mare chiaro was overcooked pasta & the sauce was too thick,unlike Neapolitan style pasta; the osso bucco lacked salt & depth; the rack of lamb was good enough, but could have used alittle seasoning & leaned more towards rare than medium-rare. I could go on, but maybe I’m too harsh of a critic, after all, Ilived in Italy for a few years. The place was packed, so they must be doing something right. Give it a shot, but for me, itdidn’t live up to the hype. Oh, BTW, service was slow due to the whole restaurant-pandemic thing, which we didn’t mindbecause we enjoyed just hanging out with our company, but I’d like to compliment George, our waiter who was great! Thank youfor good service despite being slammed. Read more

If you want good Italian food that is made with love and good family recipes this is the place!!! we stumbled on this place by... accident on our way to a new "gastropub" that turned out to be just another gimmicky non creative place. And this was nearby...thinking this was just like every other Italian place we had always overlooked it... when we got through those doors and wheremet with class and service we where intrigued... we sat down and immediately looked for their most dynamic dishes and when wedecided we where more than surprised.... we where right back in the kitchen with our grandparents tasting perfectly preparedsauces and dishes ... this is an excellent place for honest, freshly prepared and skilfully executed Italian cuisine... mycompliments to the chef...<3 Read more
