The food was delicious. My wife and I sat at the bar, so the bar tender took our order. We shared a chicken parmesan meal, and it was plenty enough. Bartender made good drinks according to my wife. Everything was good. Thanks.
Our food was so delicious and the atmosphere is lovely!! We really enjoyed the live music and the service was wonderful. We would absolutely return for another romantic date night.
Harrison was great!!! Loved the food and the wine 10/10 from start to finish.

LEONES - ITALIAN REVIEWS
Overall pretty good experience. Nice clean restaurant with good service. The food was good too. From what I've ordered, the appetizers were the best. The bruschetta and especially the calamari was great. Spaghetti with meat ball was decent. It was supposed to come with pomodoro sauce but it honestly was just your normal marinara. Nothing special about it.
Great place with a great vegan/vegetarian menu as well if you do not eat meat. The burrata appetizer is really good. The chopped steak has one of the best sauces I’ve ever had and the Brussel sprouts were cooked beyond perfectly. Also some of the best tiramisu I’ve ever eaten. They have a great wine selection as well. Highly recommend.
Really enjoyed the bone-in pork chop; they cooked it perfectly, and the mushroom risotto and spinach were perfect compliments. Excellent and attentive service. Good selection of perfectly executed Italian selections, suitable wine list. And good by-the-glass selections too. I'll definitely go back.

Luce is a italian restaurant in Norfolk, VA. They provide Italian dishes with local tap beers and an eclectic wine list. Their idea was introduced at lunch with a friend and a small bowl of linguine and clams, a bottle of wine, and a little bruschetta. They feature a contemporary twist on classic Italian food. Their head chef is Antonio Caruana. All their staff supports all the needs of the customers. Their bar menu features some of the finest excellent cocktails, martinis, and traditional wines. Their range of beer is relatively extensive, with most domestic bottles, some large imports, and great Italian craft beers. When you enter this place, you can expect a good time with accurate, live service in the restaurant.

LUCE REVIEWS
I had a great dining experience in Luce. They offer a tantalising Italian menu. You can see the chef and his crew cooking in the corner of the restaurant . The staff was super friendly especially Kristal . Luce is a must-visit for anyone craving an exquisite taste of Italy.
My husband and I were here for our anniversary and Val was our server and she was ABSOLUTELY fantastic! The food was perfect! Everyone is super kind and personable. HIGHLY recommend to everyone.
Super cute and cozy spot. All was delish! Mafaldine was perfectly cooked. Scotch and bourbon flights were great.
