As suggested by the reviews, I'd let the staff know I'm vegan - I believe a chef came out to confirm my ordered, he suggested a mixed vegetable pizza with vegan cheese on top. Overall, the pizza was very good - the crust thin but with perfectly baked, generous and chewy edges. Their menu had an information about flour they use to cook with being imported from Italy, perhaps that the secret? :) Most of the veg toppings traditionally belong on a pizza, those were tasty. On top of that - there were sauteed broccoli florets placed on top, these were tasty too although that's kind of out of the usual toppings. On top of all of this - a fresh mixed green salad, which of course can be taken off. Personally, I'm not a fan. Mixed in with all of this were chunks of vegan cheese, tasty, with fluffy consistency, which melted within short time. I did not ask what the cheese was made out of though. The staff was helpful, friendly and polite. I also enjoyed the atmosphere, ambient music and nice decor.

A short walk from our accommodation, we planned to reach there just as they opened...and I guess a lot people had the same idea on a Sunday evening. After seating each group before us, we were informed that the food would take about an hour to be served (probably due to the large number of customers ordering at the same time). We agreed and were promptly seated. We ordered some specials and the cream pasta, and had some drinks. About 45 mins later the first 2 Pastas arrived. And about 5 mins later the wagyu steak arrived. Everything was good...and considering the unique situation they were in (probably the best Italian restaurant in the district), I was happy to pay whatever they were asking. The crab pasta reminded me of a lobster pasta we had at Ladurée in Paris, the bacon cream pasta was really rich and so good, best we had in very long time. And then there was the wagyu steak, which was just perfectly cooked. Highly Recommended!

After reading all the previous reviews, this restaurant was on our must visit list and it was absolutely worth it! The food was fantastic and the service impeccable. Every dish, from the smoked salmon salad, escargot and juicy sausages for starters to the pizzas made on lava stone, the crab pasta, tomato risotto and the roast beef, everything was very well done and delicious. The owner Watanabe San was extremely hospitable and even served us some delicious, not on the menu, tempura with veggies he’d picked himself that morning!! Outstanding!! Ending dinner with the Tiramisu was absolutely perfect! If ever in Fujikawaguchiko, La Luce is a must visit restaurant for excellent food! Just remember to carry cash as they only accept cash or PayPay…no credit cards.

Superb Italian cuisine in a most unlikely location. Our selection of Wagyu steak, crab pasta, Margherita pizza and masala chai were fantastic! The local Koshu Wagyu steak (150g) was hard to beat at SGD 32?!!! The beefy and “fatty milky” taste that you would expect from a Wagyu were all there. Can’t go wrong. The Margherita pizza, when I took a slice, was extremely light (weight). Thin, chewy and perfectly balanced. Their crab pasta was heavenly. The “pink” sauce tasted like bisque. The crab, was between moult I suspect, hence, its shell was soft and easy to extract its flesh. I am a big fan of milk tea and their masala chai hit the spot to end the meal on a perfect note.

The receptionist at New Century Hotel Kawaguchiko recommended this place when I shared with her that my mother is vegetarian. They made lunch reservation for us. The staff understands little English, so do be patient with them. The chef, on the other hand, was fluent. He was able to communicate with my mother on the vegetarian pizza, like what she couldn't eat and the options. Waiting time for the food is like every restaurant. It will take quite some time, so do order something small to munch on. The food was delicious. I really like the soft shell crab pasta and the crust of the pizza. I would recommend my friends to come here, whether they are vegetarian or not.

As vegetarians in Japan (which can be hard to navigate) we had a wonderful experience at La Luce. Food was excellent and the atmosphere was cozy. I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner, and Teru, the owner went above and beyond to make him feel special. The staff were such awesome hosts and they speak English. Highly recommend this sweet place if you’re looking to eat good Italian in Fujikawaguchiko area. Please do visit if you have a chance you will be pleasantly surprised. 素晴らしい料理とサービスをありがとう!
