Luce Ristorante e Enoteca

Fresh Ingredients, Killer Italian Food

What makes it fun

Neapolitan owner and chef Joe Buonincontri is responsible for the traditional Italian cuisine served at Luce San Antonio, which opened in 2006 and has since become one of the most popular restaurants in San Antonio. The restaurant has quickly become a favorite among the community due to its wide selection of classic dishes. Flavors that frequently transport our guests to the most pleasant recollections they have of Italian dishes. Our menu features a number of dishes that have been passed down through the Buonincontri family as well as those that have been brought back from trips to Italy.

A great experience. Service was impeccable - friendly, attentive but not overly so, quick. The place is very pleasant and though it's a large room it didn't seem as loud as I'd have expected. The food was mostly great - the carpaccio in particular the best I've had outside Italy. My pasta choice (pappardelle Salvatore) was good but the flavour was a little more intense than I'd have preferred. That's a personal preference though, and it was cooked perfectly.Overall a very enjoyable evening, and I hope to return.

If you're looking for a five-star dining experience, Luce Ristorante is the place to be! Upon walking in, the upscale decor and chic ambiance immediately set the tone for a fantastic evening.One of the highlights of Luce Ristorante is their impressive Happy Hour menu. The dirty martinis and lemon drop martinis are a must-try! The flavor combinations are perfect, and the bartenders really know how to make a quality cocktail.As for the food, the Stromboli was an absolute standout. The crispy exterior perfectly complemented the gooey cheese and savory meat, creating a mouthwatering treat unlike any other.To top it all off, the service was nothing short of amazing. Our server, Miranda, truly went above and beyond to ensure that our dining experience was flawless. She was attentive, friendly, and made excellent recommendations.Overall, I would highly recommend Luce Ristorante. From the tasty cocktails to the delicious food and fantastic service, they have it all. A perfect destination for a romantic date night, a celebratory dinner, or any special occasion.

So I took my Fiancée to Luce Ristorante E Enoteca . It's a very romantic little spot with awesome food and ambiance. When it's cooler they have a lovely patio area as well. I got a special reserved table where they have wine bottles all around giving a stained glass affect. They also gave a complimentary Tiramisu cake for his Birthday. We did the Special 4 course menu each. Our choice or red, white or sparkling wine. For the Antipasti - Costolette di Maile Balsamic Glazed: St. Louis Style Pork Ribs & Caprese: Tomato Slices and Fresh Mozzarella di Latte, Basil, and Olive Oil. For the Entree - Ravioli di Aragosta: Lobster Filled Ravioli, Tomato Basil Cream Sauce, Maine Lobster Meat & Mare e Monte: Grilled Sliced Certified Angus 10 oz. Bistro Tenderloin, 4 Grilled Shrimp, Fettuccine Alfredo, Toasted Garlic Vegetables. Dessert - Vanilla Bean Crème Brule & Tiramisu: Lady Fingers Dredged in Espresso, Layered with Rum Mascarpone, Topped with Whipped Cream and Chocolate Shavings. Everything was delicious and fresh made. The service was top notch as well. Definitely a night we will remember.

If you want good Italian food that is made with love and good family recipes this is the place!!! we stumbled on this place by accident on our way to a new "gastropub" that turned out to be just another gimmicky non creative place. And this was nearby... thinking this was just like every other Italian place we had always overlooked it... when we got through those doors and where met with class and service we where intrigued... we sat down and immediately looked for their most dynamic dishes and when we decided we where more than surprised.... we where right back in the kitchen with our grandparents tasting perfectly prepared sauces and dishes ... this is an excellent place for honest, freshly prepared and skilfully executed Italian cuisine... my compliments to the chef...
