| Luce’s tagline, “a contemporary twist on Italian,” seems to have become less and less applicable lately; most dishes incline toward the traditional---in effect if not always in intent. Chicken Valdostana with prosciutto, Fontina and sage sounds classic but misses the mark on most counts. Lamb chops “scottadito” pique mostly curiosity by virtue of their parsley and garlic brining. Do hope that, due discretion or recession, the kitchen has elected to minimize sides such as spaghetti and the lamb’s Gorgonzola gnocchi; supporting players sometimes have tended to steal the scene from the main event. The hard times that have beset most high-end restaurants---and Luce is high-end in both appearance and intent---seem to have led to happy hour deals such as the buy-one-get-one-free appetizers available from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. Monday to Saturday. Well-priced lunch offerings such as the pappardelle bolognese provide bargains on weekdays; in good weather, try them on the pleasant patio. |
