Luce - Charlottesville

This place is a hidden gem! Literally a hole in the wall, but the food was amazing! Beautiful hand cut pappardelle cooked aldente and pork ragu, with maybe a hint of cumin? It was very good. Pizza margherita was excellent as well, with a slight hint of sourdough in the crust. Very unique little spot! It is a little expensive, but hey, you get what you pay for.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience here. The employees showed excellent service and made excellent foods. Presentation was top tier. We came during the rush and we?re still served promptly. I?m incredibly impressed with the food, service, and overall experience. We had the special and a margherita pizza which were both terrific and got the CT crunch gelato to go which I can?t wait to dig in to. The special was a mushroom, roasted red pepper, and golden tomato sauces

Food gets a 5 for taste, value and ingenuity. Yum and fresh. Picture is spaghetti with shaved zucchini, pesto, mint and tomatoes. We also enjoyed the papardelle with pork ragu. I'd add a star for slightly better packaging only because the perfectly cooked pasta keeps cooking in the current takeaway container.

It?s hand made, fresh pasta in a cup! (He does pizza too but i haven?t tried). Quite literally a hole in a wall, it?s the best one man show you?ll ever find. While it seems like you might wait a while, I got my pasta in about 1 minute. The ragú in the ?bolo? pasta is absolutely divine. The portion sizes are bigger than they look he really packs the pasta in there. Correction there is at least a second guy in a nearby kitchen.

Best pizza in cville by far and fantastic pasta. recommend this place over one of the chains
