Eight Thumbs Up. It was our first visit to Luce in Middletown, CT and we will be back! Our reservation was for 6:30 (early since we were trying to juggle dinner and a movie which isn’t always easy to do). We were greeted warmly at the reservation desk and by the manager. Our table was ready and we were immediately escorted to it. ( I don’t like when your table is ready and you are asked to wait at the bar). The atmosphere is cozy and warm with a beautiful stone fireplace in the middle of the dining room. The menu had many yummy choices and there were some interesting specials as well. The wine list is extensive. Out table shared the fried calamari which came with a marina sauce and a tartar sauce. The calamari was OK, nothing to write home about and a little salty but tender. I had a mesclun salad with shaved fennel which was delightful. For the main course I selected the Mahi Mahi special which was grilled and over broccoli table and a dried cranberry risotto. All was delicious! My husband opted for the pork chop special and it was stuffed with spinach and fontina cheese over mashed potatoes. It too was delicious. Our dining companions selected the sweet sausage rigatoni and the Mahi Mahi special. Both were very pleased. For dessert we opted for the in-house tiramisu which was creamy and outstanding and the coconut sorbet which was refreshing but not made on the premises. The dinner was well paced, water was filled without asking and the food was served at a good temperature. With one bottle of wine the bill for the four of us came to $195 pre-tip–not cheap but we felt like it was worth it since the food, the service and the atmosphere were all very good! We will definitely return!
Restaurants come and go but LUCE is here to stay – this has to be Middletowns best kept secret- from the seafood appetizer and Caesar salad to the zucchini flowers stuffed with goat cheese and the main course of Halibut over mushroom risotto and the 12 oz veal chop were just off the charts. We live 40 minutes away and would come here now regularly after finding it by accident-
