Luce
A small Italian restaurant on downtown Granby Street, where chef Tony Caruana's handmade pasta and drink list draw strong praise.
Chef Tony Caruana insists that all the pasta be made by hand in-house. Tripadvisor ranks the restaurant among the top ten in Norfolk, and it was named to Coastal Virginia magazine's 2024 food awards. Diners often order the wild boar ragu pappardelle, lobster gnocchi and seafood pasta, and the drink list is carefully curated as well. The space is small, with few seats, and the bar is usually full. Reservations are almost always needed, and it can get loud when full. Located on downtown Granby Street near MacArthur Center, it is within walking distance of many hotels.
