   Food was very good! Limited selection of types of alcohol that was available but not an issue for us. Portion sizes were extremely large and tasty! I had ordered gluten free substitution in my pasta for the bolognese pasta dinner. The sauce was delicious! They had gf fettuccine pasta but could have been done more al dente - it was rather soft and kind of mushy. A bit disappointed in the fettuccine as I was looking forward to a good gf pasta. Others had the chicken parm and pasta with vodka sauce. They said it was incredible!! Salad dressing was great too for the house salads. They had gf garlic bread which was good. Deserts were great - red velvet cake, tiramisu, sponge cake and gelato all were delicious. Noise level - extremely high. Difficult to have a conversation or to hear the servers especially with how crowded it was. We definitely will return for the great food! Looking forward to the new location.

   Grilled octopus was the best I have ever had. Ragu and tiramisu also good. Excellent waitress and service. Large portions, everyone takes home leftovers. Will definitely be returning.

   We LOVE Luna! Food is ALWAYS amazing, service is always top notch and atmosphere is beautiful. The ONLY thing I would like more of is space on the table! They give you such large portions (which is a GOOD thing) that you end up with a very tight space on the table, especially if all your seats are filled. We always order a few appetizers, entrees, drinks and desserts and NOTHING has ever been bad!

   Large appetizers can be split between two diners. Excellent entrees. Lots of lobster pieces in ravioli. Will definitely return.

   This was our 3rd and final visit to Luna The 1st one was in Sept 2024 and we had a lovely and tasty dinner with a group of friends. The 2nd was in Dec and it was good, but not great. Our most recent visit was less than stellar. We booked via Open Table and indicated in the reservation that we were celebrating a birthday. Neither the hostess, our server, nor the chef who came by our table twice ever mentioned it. The chef did stop by to ask us to review the restaurant on Google and dropped off a 7x9" inch plastic cutting board with a Google QR code on our table. This was in very poor taste especially when we were seated at a small two top table and didn't have much extra space. We ordered the appetizer "special" which was described as seafood bruschetta. It appeared to be leftover seafood stew on top of an entire loaf of bread with cheese. The seafood was overcooked and fairly tasteless. My salad came with the dressing in a plastic takeout container with a lid on top of the greens. If we were getting takeout, that would've been fine, but we were not. My dining partner ordered lasagna for his entree since the last time we were there, they had run out. When his entree arrived, it was unrecognizable as lasagna. There were no discernable layers of pasta to be found. It looked like a plate of meat sauce. He found one piece of pasta in the pile. I ordered linguine with clams which was fine, but not great. Our server was fairly attentive, but the entire meal took less than one hour and we had an four courses! We felt very rushed and left disappointed in the entire experience.

   I have seen this restaurant go from completely empty to not being able to get a seat. Whatever they have done is truly amazing. Being Italian I am very picky about Italian food this restaurant is that the top of my list in the area. The food is just like my mother cooked. The portions are large quality is amazing. My daughter had the eggplant Parm not too heavily breaded very thin, my husband had one of the pizzas loaded crispy, and I had the proper deli with shrimp and veal. Everything was outstanding. Our waiter was from Sorrento recommended a fantastic wine and helped us with all of our questions. This restaurant is definitely on the top of our list.
