"We had a wonderful evening celebrating my husband's birthday. The staff was very accommodating of special requests and alterations to menu items, and surprised my husband with a complimentary dessert accompanied by singing waiters. The food was delicious!"

"This has been a favorite restaurant of mine for quite a few years and as a result decided to celebrate a friend's birthday there. The servers were friendly and helpful; and as always ambiance is relaxing. I was utterly disappointed by the food which I have always loved. The Frito Misto was a nice start... From there it went downhill. The black ink pasta was too al dente, the chicken and the sausage dish my friends ordered were way too salty... By this point, I did not dare to try the desserts although in the past I have enjoyed them..."

"Restaurant was very cozy and had a home like feel. Waiters recommendations were excellent and the food came fairly quickly. The restaurant was also pretty quiet for a Saturday. Only drawback was that the waiter did not tell us the price of the appetizer after he told us our food would be a little while. Had a great experience"

"I planned a dinner for 10 people for a friend's b'day and thought Luna would be good because of its location and high end Italian menu. It went FAR beyond my wildest expectations. Food was wonderful, restaurant (back room in particular) is GORGEOUS, service was impeccable. We all had a terrific time. I recommend it to anyone. And beware...they have the most amazing antipasti... it is by the person and includes many items. If you get this, you may not want to eat dinner (or at least maybe you'll want to share dinner)... the food is amazing and you will be stuffed! Well done!"
