Had reservations for party of five on a Friday at 6pm. Enjoyed the ambiance, booth seating and general aesthetic of the restaurant. Not loud even when it was busy. Superb service-very attentive and knowledgeable server! Great cocktail options and service. Enjoyed lasagna, others enjoyed seafood. Plenty of parking options in the area within easy walk.

Took my wife there for her birthday, she ordered lasagna and I ordered the linguini with marinara, she couldn't eat the lasagna at all, I ate half of my linguini, we complained about the lasagna and they removed it from the bill, the waitress was unfriendly and very abrupt, I'll never go there again, and this review is coming from an Italian raised in NY

We preordered our dinner online two hours ahead of time. The restaurant called and let us know they were on the way, met them in the lobby at the time we scheduled. Pizza and sides were tasty! Great service!Thanks!

The reviews on this quaint pizza house are spot on. Had the Friday special, large pepperoni pizza and it was everything the reviews said it would be. Delicious crust, excellent sauce and tasty pepperoni for a reasonable price. Needless to say, this just became my pizza spot. I have been looking for good pizza in the Portsmouth area and I have now found it!

What I thought Luce was and what it actually was were lightyears apart. I expected table cloths, waiters, pasta...Boy was I wrong. Instead, I found a 7 table restaurant with a bar... But the food...was beyond any expectation you could ever imagine. Starting with the appetizers. Goat cheese with pesto and a clam dish.. both were heavenly...we asked for more bread to just sop up the clam sauce, it was that delicious! Our dinners wound up being passed around as we each raved over the delicate tastes of our own. Lobster Presecco Gnocchi, Cioppino, each one was better than the other... The recommended wines paired perfectly. Dessert... we just couldn't decide...but we shared 2 between 4 people and just raved over each one. How have I missed this place? My grandparents were from Italy. They once took me to a place in NY that I thought could never be beaten. I was wrong. Luce is surreal in its excellence. Go...you will NOT be sorry. MAKE RESERVATIONS

On Friday, Oct. 11 we had a reservation for 10 people at Varia. We were fortunate to dine in a lovely and intimate private room where we were seated at a round table - especially conducive to talking and catching up as we were celebrating a Big Milestone High School reunion with friends from all over the country who made the trip back to Norfolk for the reunion weekend.Our server, Trent, was especially attentive and helpful in assisting with cocktail selections as well as menu choices. Our food and drink all arrived in a timely fashion and we could not have been more pleased with the level of service.The sommelier greeted us as soon as we had been seated to assist with wine choices which was a very nice touch! Everyone raved about their entrees, and the desserts were over the top! It was exciting to show off one of Norfolk's best restaurants to our out of town guests, several of whom had not been back here for decades.Kudos to The Main and Varia for upholding such high standards in both service and quality of food and presentation. It was a great way to kick off a special weekend!Thank you for your wonderful review! We hope to serve you again soon!
