Outdoor Patio Dining in Hell's Kitchen at Cafe Luce
An outdoor table, a plate of pasta and time to catch up: that is one way to spend an evening at Cafe Luce Hell's Kitchen. Our restaurant at 319 West 51st Street has an outdoor patio as well as an indoor dining room, with Italian food, cocktails and wine for dinner with friends or a date night.
Plan an evening on the patio
If outdoor seating is part of your plan, contact the restaurant before your visit to ask about patio availability. Let the team know your preferred date, time and party size. A table reservation by itself should not be taken as confirmation of a patio table; ask the team to confirm the seating arrangement.
For an evening with friends, deciding on a meeting time and looking at the menu together can keep the planning simple. If you have a performance or another appointment afterward, mention that timing when you book.
Pasta, antipasti and something to sip
Fresh homemade pasta is at the center of the Cafe Luce menu, alongside antipasti, salads and Italian favorites. Start with something for the table, choose a pasta and sauce, and browse the drinks list for a wine, cocktail or spritz.
The Hell's Kitchen location offers a full cocktail selection and wines by the glass or bottle. For current dishes, drinks and prices, use the Hell's Kitchen menu rather than the menu for our Midtown East restaurant.
Dinner, weekend brunch or a Broadway evening
Dinner is served daily from 4 PM to 11 PM. On Saturdays and Sundays, brunch runs from 11 AM to 4 PM, followed by dinner. These are restaurant service hours; contact the team to confirm outdoor seating for your visit.
If you are heading to Broadway, plan around the address of your theater and the curtain time on your ticket. Allow time for the meal, travel and theater entry. Our pre-theater guide covers the practical details for dinner at this location.
Planning a group meal?
For a birthday, dinner with colleagues or a larger gathering, email cafelucewest@gmail.com with your date, party size and seating preference. The team can discuss the arrangements available for your group.
