Diner Reviews
  • "I really love the ambiance in this restaurant. You feel like you are away in an Inn in upstate NY. The menu is varied and there is something for everyone whether you are looking for a light dinner or a more lavish romantic one. The service was outstanding. The server and manager were regularly checking in to make sure all was to our liking. The food is very good and especially like the homemade banana sorbet for dessert. We look forward to bringing the rest of our family to dine there again soon."

  • "Table was a restrictive deuce with zero privacy and in the walk-way. It was tolerable. What can you do? Someone has to get it. No tablecloth! okay_but your prices reflect more< not less> we were approached by to many people to many times> plates were removed when to other person was not finished the duck was excellent but was served without a starch> fine but it made me feel like i was being forced to buy a side the room was hot! and uncomfortable even for my wife who is always cold"

  • "We had a party of 10 for a 50th birthday dinner. In the reservation I had mentioned the birthday in the comments section but nothing special was offered. I was also a little disappointed in the service, soft drinks were ordered and never delivered. The wait staff only came to our table when we flagged them down, they were not very attentive. Otherwise the food and drink we're very good!"

  • "We have tried this restaurant 3 times after it became Lunellos. The first time we thought the food was bad. We decided to give it another shot the second time we liked it. Went back one more time, the food was terrible. I am sad to say we will not be back. The food was wonderful when the restaurant was the Montville Inn when Lunellos came in the food went down hill."

  • "I brought my wife here for Valentine's Day and we had a perfect experience; great food, fine service, and affordable pricing in a pleasant atmosphere. What more can anyone ask for? And...it was only 2 to 3 miles from home. Excellent dining night out; we had a wonderful time. Thank you, Lunello's Inn."

  • "The original Lunello's is one of my favorite restaurants. They prepare fish better than most any place I know. We were happy to learn they were coming to Montville. While some of the great things done at Luncello's I remain, this was disappointing. Salads and soups were all good. Lunch choices, not so. Not sure they are paying the same attention to detail as the original. I ordered grouper which was overcooked and simply put, disappointing. Lamb sliders were dry. Just hoping this was a bad day. I will go back and hope for better the next time."

  • "It was a great experience! My only negative comment would be, that the wine list is very pricey. It is however, a great selection of wines, but I would have preferred a few more reasonably priced wine. Other that that we enjoyed dinner."

  • "8:00 reservation turned into sitting at 8:40. Although our bread and butter came quickly and was very good, 2 of the items we wanted they were out of. (one being a special) not very good for a Saturday night. It was also so noisy we couldn't hear each other speak. Won't be back there any time soon."

  • "Service quite slow, we had to fetch the waiter to place our order. Very loud in restaurant. It was a busy night. Salad was an insalata misto - instead of a light vinaigrette it had a blue cheesy type of thing which was too heavy. Just a dash of a vinaigrette is all that type of salad needs. The lettuce was fresh and nice. My small pizza was a little thick, thick slices of sausage where on a pizza, thinner is nice. Not much flavor - no garlicy olive oil kind of flavor, just tomato sauce sausage cheese, again, nothing special. The others said their food was okay. The filet mignon was cooked correctly, medium rare, but was dry. The guests we brought didn't finish their meals of chicken and short beef ribs. We didn't get dessert"

  • "Love the historic atmosphere, however, the food left much to be desired...not that great given the prices. I understand it was a holiday, however, we had to wait an hour after our reservation time, even though we arrived an hour prior to. They gave our table away at the time of our reservation to a party that just walked in for their reservation at the same time as ours. Annoying. The porch is great in the summertime for drinks and hors d'oeuvres."

  • "We were a party of four and we had 8:00 reservations. We were greeted immediately and our jackets were taken. Everyone was very friendly and welcoming. For a New Years eve I was a bit surprised to find that there weren't any magnificent appetizers added to the menu for the evening. We did not order an appetizer as a result. Our meals were served in a timely manner. I thought the vegetable served with my husband's steak was quite bar and I would have expected more. I ordered clams with linguine and had many empty clam shells in my dish. Some of the clams had fallen out, nevertheless I didn't expect that to be so noticeable. We did order desert which was very good. I would recommend this restaurant and dine again in the future."

  • "I recently dined with my family for a Sunday lunch. There were very few reasonably priced options. Moreover, the one request we had was a candle in the dessert and even though we called in advance and spoke to the maitre'd, they didn't do it. Wishing for a better Sunday brunch/lunch place in the area!"

  • "I ordered two signature dishes which were both too salty. Both dishes were pretty much edible :( _ on a positive note the drinks were good."

  • "This was our 2nd time dining here. The food is really fantastic. The building is quite charming. I'm not sure why they don't use their beautiful fireplace, however. It was very cold out and not in use (otherwise I would have given " ambiance" full star credit!). "Service" could use a bit more organization but was still good. The desserts are terrific. If you order the cookie bar, make sure you ask them to warm it before serving. The white chocolate bread pudding is heavenly. The short ribs are amazing."

  • "We had a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at Lunello's. Dinner for 6. Food and service was spectacular. Was a very busy night there; however, we were seated promptly, service was impeccable and food was delicious. Wait staff was very friendly without being intrusive. This was my 3rd time there, and we would definitely go back. Whether for a romantic dinner or group of friends or family, I would highly recommend Lunello's!"

  • "We had xmas eve dinner there and it was an overall excellent experience. Food was great. There were excellent options, and we were thrilled that they did not have a limited holiday menu! Servers were festive and on point despite the crowd and full house. Food times were only a tad slow considering how busy it was and the quality was very good. The restaurant itself is rustic, charming, and adorable. Looking forward to dining on a regular weekend! Highly recommended."

Its got an amazing menu that features local ingredients and an extensive wine list along with specialty drinks. The service is also top notch which is a huge part of what makes this place spectacular!"

  • "This restaurant was abosolutely wonderful. I can't wait to go back. The food was farm fresh, tasty and wonderfully prepared. The service was attentive but not overpowering. The food selection was well thought out. Everything sounded delicious and the portion was plentiful. It has a comfortable rustic decor. It was quiet enough to chat throughout dinner and we were not rushed at all. I would recommend this restaurant for any occassion or as I did a casual Sunday afternoon dinner."

  • "I have been a fan of the original LuNello's for some time. My expectations were very high for the new Montville restaurant and I was anticipating a really fine meal. We started with an asparagus, poached egg and parmesan appetizer that was excellent. AS entress we had Grouper and a Ribeye. The ribeye was done nicely and very good but the grouper was crusted and unfortunately the fish ended up dry and overcooked. The service was just okay, sufficiently attentive but seemed very surprised and somewhat hesitant to address a special dietary request. The atmosphere is bright with lots of wood so it can get a little noisy. I was a little disappointed given my high expectations but overall a generally good experience."

  • "I loved everything about my meal. This was our first time there. I ordered something that I never would normally order, but the description and the waiter's recommendation drew me in. Even the appetizer that my husband ordered (that didn't really sound appealing to me) was fantastic. I think it is a true talent for a chef to be able to prepare these ordinary ingredients into something amazing. I will definitely be back. If you go, try the pumpkin martini and the beef shortribs. Soooo good! Too bad the fireplace wasn't lit on this chilly Sat. night, though. Charming environment."

  • "My friend and I had a pleasant evening at LuNello's. Their service was friendly and food was decent. Chat for hours, it got louder as the crowds hustled in for the late evening meals."
