La Luce

food wasn't horrible, but the service was pretty bad. They were not rude, they just never came around (to take order, to check on us, to bring the check, etc). Unless you live close by, really no reason to go here with so many great italian places.

I wish I could give La Luce zero stars! This place was absolutely horrible and disgusting.

Service- After waiting 3 mins at the door the "hostess" asked if we had reservations which we did just shrugs shoulders and says pick a table, entire staff was terribly rude, rushed our dinner and to top it off I saw the waiter wipe a plate with the dirty towel on his hip and place it back on another table. Gross!!!

Food- Bland and Overpriced! I've made better pasta at home.

I would never return even with another groupon so disappointing because it has so much potential I wanted to love it!

Ok, first off, -we went there because of a Groupon.
Food:
I had the "homemade" Ravolli with spinach and ricotta with a sage brown butter.-It was perfectly cooked and Very Good with a crust of parmesan on top.
{Side note: One of my MAJOR pet peeves is an Italian  restaurant that doesn't offer more than one "homemade" pasta. That why I go out for Italian - the "homemade Pasta"! One of my other pet peeves is to "say homemade" in a restaurant .}
My partner had the FIlet with red grape sauce, 3.5 out of 5 stars he says. at $33.95 it should be 5 stars in my opinion.
Ambiance:
I can only comment on the front room, which is where they sat us, it was a weekday, and was not too full when we got there. NOW HERES WHAT I HATED.- The Blackhawks Hockey game blaring! Really was i sitting in a sports bar? nobody told me. When you are Paying for expensive Italian food, Groupon or not,  I thought it was a restaurant. Not that I have anything against the Blackhawks or Hockey, (thats another topic for another review) but really - turn the sound off.  I will admit we didn't ask to be moved or anything. Being my first time there I don't know if there is another room or not.  That being said, I am afraid I am not a fan and doubt if I will return. So many better Italian places in Chicago.
Service : Was great!
