    Luna was a wonderful experience! Everything was fantastic, from the patio views , to the service , to the food . Christian was our server, and we can’t thank him enough for his kindness, expertise, and prompt service . The focaccia , arancini , lemon spaghetti, swordfish were all wonderful . We enjoyed the lemon and spicy sausage pizza as well to share . The tiramisu was the final great touch to the night . The menu is a bit pricey , but overall worth the experience. Everyone seemed to go out of their way to make sure our evening was enjoyable. We would go back again.

    Met some friends for dinner. We enjoyed a cocktail at the Bar before we were seated. The service was excellent. Once seated our server Evan was amazing. He was very knowledgeable of the menu and was attentive. The food was really great. I had the Shortrib with a side of Polenta. Absolutely delicious. They had an extensive Wine list with some of our favorite Italian wines. We're definitely returning and requesting him as our server.

    Everything we got was delicious and our waitress was so kind and helpful with recommendations! I will say the tables around the room felt cramped because we were sat right next to people on either side of us and it was very tight. Other than that, service was great. We enjoyed the whipped eggplant, ceasar salad, soprassata pizza, Bianca pizza, vodka pasta, and the pavlova. The pavlova was unexpected- slightly sweet and sour with different textures. Definitely will be back.

    My wife and I were greeted by the hostess at the door who wished us a happy anniversary(our 48th). She seated us in a nice cozy booth near the back of the dining room, with plenty of romantic atmosphere. Our waitress, Abby, was very pleasant, attentive to our needs and came to check on our meal progress just the right number of times. in fact her timing was spot on. We thanked her for her service and attention to detail. Our appetizer, the bruschetta trio, was delivered quickly and was neatly prepared. Delicious sampler. We both ordered the Filet Mignon which was set red with roasted carrots, sautéed spinach, and smooth mashed potatoes covered in brown garlic sauce. It was comfort food, cooked to perfection with a satisfying compliment of favor. Overall, a great dining experience.
