- LLorraineNew Jersey •1 review5.0Dined on Jun 28, 2025We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Our server, Liam, was welcoming and knowledgeable, answering questions and making recommendations. He was a perfect complement to the food. Speaking of, we had Caesar salad served with garlic crisps—tasty. The standout, however, was the “tin pasta”—spaghetti and shrimp in a creamy, dreamy pink sauce that comes out bundled in aluminum foil. It was delicious! The warm bread they serve with the meal was excellent as well. We added some olive oil (on the table) with salt and pepper to a small dish to create our own sopping sauce—yum! We ended the meal with mini zeppoli—made in house using their same excellent dough, tossed in confectioners sugar with a side of chocolate dipping sauce. It was the perfect dessert for us. Liam told us the kitchen uses water brought in from Brooklyn—you can taste the difference. We will be back!More infoPeppino’s RestaurantPrice: Moderate• Italian• Marlboro•4.9
- AAnneNew York City •2 reviews5.0Dined on Jun 26, 2025This was my second visit to Cafe Luna as the first wasn’t so good. However, the Manager did contact me and was very apologetic to my experience so I gave the restaurant another try. The food was much better than my last experience. We had eggplant parm and a halibut meal. Both were exceptional. The service was excellent and the restaurant itself is nice but very loud. Although we didn’t have any appetizers, the selection was much better than my first visit and sounded delicious. I was most appreciative that they cared enough to read the review and request I come back. It says a lot about their commitment to their customers.More infoCafe Luna of Old BridgePrice: Moderate• Italian• Old Bridge•4.7
