    Incredible food, great atmosphere outstanding service. I was blown away by the Scallops dish that my wife ordered, most places give maybe 3-4 scallops. The portion at Felina was very generous as there was 5-6 large scallops which were perfectly cooked. Normally broccoli and cauliflower aren’t the most exciting sides but they complimented the dish nicely and it was all brought together with a great sauce. The chicken Scarpiello was also suburb. The potato pure was gave a dish that is more rustic a more elegant feel. The creaminess from the potato puree paired well with the chicken and sausage. Brussels were well made nice and crispy with a good sauce. Caesar salad was great to share, love seeing the chopped anchovies in the salad as you know it’s the real deal.

    LuNello's never disappoints me. Whenever I bring a new guest to the restaurant, they always compliment the menu and their choice. The real testament to someone's pleasure with their dining experience is when they take some of their choices home with them to enjoy. Thank you to the team at LuNello's for making each visit an enjoyable one.
