What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
La Luce is celebrated for its authentic Italian cuisine, particularly its pizzas and the unique beef and crab pasta. Diners praise the welcoming service and charming ambiance, making it a standout in the area. However, some find the overall value for money to be questionable, and there have been instances of unwelcoming attitudes towards potential customers.
"I had an amazing vegan pizza here! The soy ‘cheese’ was so delicious. Better than many vegan pizzas I’ve had at home in the UK. A great find for vegans travelling the area where it can be tricky to get vegan food sometimes. Very lovely kind service and cosy atmosphere. Warmed me up on a very chilly night!!"
Charlotte Hill
"The dinner was just okay, but the appetizers—especially the mushroom and garlic bread—were a 10/10! Everything else, including the pasta and pizza, was pretty mid. Still, the staff was kind and the atmosphere was relaxed."

"Very good pizza for Japan. Not the best in my life but a well made pizza if you‘re craving something different than Japanese food. Very good service and very nice workers. Charming place and really nice ambiance."
