    In my younger days I would have pontificated in a long diatribe about how bad the food was, how the service was mediocre, how overpriced it was for what was served, and more attention should be paid to the quality of food over the quantity. However, it seems like a lot of people like this place, so I’ll just say it wasn’t for me and I won’t be returning.

    Food was very good but felt very rushed. Food came out before we finished salads, we were asked if we wanted dessert before we were halfway through dinner and waiter said he could take my dinner plate if I was finished when I was literally eating the last bite then stood there and waited for me to eat it.

    I’ve been here several times I would say this wasn’t my favorite visit – however the dessert was phenomenal, the drinks were great, and the service was excellent. Loved our server!!

    Return visit after a while and not great. The chicken cardinale in no way resembled the menu description or the classic recipe. We received a plain sauceless chicken breast with melted mozzarella on top on one side of the plate accompanied by pasta with a red sauce with the skins of eggplant and some red peppers on the other side of the plate. The menu says chicken layered with eggplant, red peppers and mozzarella in marinara sauce and a side of linguini. Very odd. The pappardelle bolognese was very sweet. The pasta itself was good but the sauce way too sweet. Service was fine and the place was loud as it always is

    We love that they have different specials every time we dine and that they update the regular menu periodically. The absolute best pasta in the area! Zoe is a fantastic server!

    As usual the food and service were fine. BUT. the noise level is just terrible. People are shouting at the tables to hear their conversations so it just makes it so difficult to enjoy the meal. Wish yhey would address this with some sound deadening materials on the walls and ceilings! Easy fix guys!

    Food was OK, not great especially for the price. Service was rushed as we were celebrating our daughter's college graduation. Water was not filled, had to ask to get it filled. Not a smile on our waitress at anytime. Made the reservation and added we were celebrating my daughter's college graduation and they made no mention of it. Not sure what I expected but thought they would at least say something. Will probably not be back.

    Waitress did not introduce herself, barely came around. When bringing our bottle of wine, she just opened it and left it on the table. We had brought a cake for our daughters birthday (which the hostess said was okay to do!), but when it was time for dessert, they just brought the cake to out table - in the box! No candles, no happy birthday! When we asked if they had matches or a lighter, they said they didn't. We decided then to just get the check and skip doing the cake there. What a weird place! Food was ok... but for the price, I'd expect better. Disappointing. Won't be returning.

FAQs

Yes, Luna is a popular choice for date night thanks to its authentic Italian food, attentive service and cozy, slightly elevated vibe. Guests praise the homemade pastas, generous portions and special touches like the chef greeting tables. It can get lively and loud on weekend evenings, so for a quieter, more intimate experience request a corner table, an early seating, or outdoor seating when available. Make a reservation, and mention it’s a special night if you’d like a celebratory touch.

Portions at Luna are consistently described as very generous, many guests say entrees are large enough for leftovers or to share. Appetizers and desserts are also sizable, so families and groups often take food home. That makes the meals good value even though prices are on the higher side compared with local spots. If you want lighter dining, consider sharing plates or ordering an appetizer-plus-entrée split.

For a calmer visit, go during weekday lunch or mid‑afternoon, guests report these times are noticeably quieter. If you want the full energetic restaurant vibe, Friday and Saturday evenings are the busiest times with a lively crowd and full dining room. For special holidays expect limited menus and heavier traffic, so plan ahead or pick a weekday to avoid long waits and high noise.

Luna has a warm, authentic Italian atmosphere, cozy decor, wood accents and an energetic dining room. Guests often call the vibe lively, festive and perfect for celebrations; the chef frequently greets tables which adds a personal touch. Be aware it can be quite loud when full because tables are close together and hard surfaces amplify sound, so it’s best for those who enjoy a buzzy, convivial scene rather than a very quiet dinner.

Yes, Luna is family-friendly and guests frequently bring children, celebrate birthdays and mention accommodating an 18‑month‑old or teens. Staff have provided complimentary birthday desserts and helped make celebrations special. The dining room is fairly compact with tables close together, so if you need more space, ask for a corner table or early seating when you book. Accessibility specifics (ramps, wheelchair seating) aren’t clearly stated online, so call ahead to confirm any special access needs.

Yes, families do dine here and guests frequently celebrate birthdays with children. The kitchen offers gluten‑free pasta and guests have noted staff accommodating young children. Because portions are large and shareable, it can be a good family meal. If you have toddlers or need a quieter table, book an early seating or request a corner spot when you make your reservation.

Casual dress is appropriate. Guests commonly dine in smart‑casual attire for date nights and special occasions, but the restaurant’s stated dress code is relaxed, come comfortably dressed for an elevated yet approachable Italian dining experience.

Yes, Luna staff are open to requests. Guests frequently report calling ahead for birthday celebrations (complimentary desserts), dietary needs like gluten‑free pasta, and seating preferences. If you have allergies, mobility needs, or want a quieter corner table, mention it when booking and confirm by phone the day of your visit to ensure the team can accommodate.

While a formal waiting‑list system isn’t described, Luna gets busy and guests report waits even with reservations, commonly 15–25 minutes on busy nights. Reservations are strongly recommended for weekends and holidays; if you arrive early or late, the host team will usually help manage seating. Call ahead on peak nights to check status and ask about any wait.

Luna appears to be a family‑run, chef‑led restaurant, many guests mention Chef Tony (and Nino) personally greeting tables and overseeing service. Reviews describe a hands‑on owner/chef who circulates in the dining room and engages with guests, which contributes to the restaurant’s heartfelt, authentic Italian character.

Busiest: Friday and Saturday evenings and major holidays, guests often describe a packed, lively dining room and higher noise levels. Quietest: weekday lunches and mid‑afternoon weekend visits; several guests found Saturday mid‑afternoons and weekday service noticeably calmer. If you prefer a quieter table, aim for midday during the week or request a corner seat.

Weekdays (Tuesday–Thursday) are often the best balance of atmosphere and lower noise, you’ll likely get attentive service and less bustle than weekend nights. If you want the energetic crowd and full bar vibe, Friday or Saturday evening delivers that lively scene. For the quietest experience, aim for weekday lunch.

Yes, Luna frequently opens for holidays and often offers special holiday menus (examples include Thanksgiving, New Year’s Eve, Mother’s Day and Valentine’s Day). Guests note limited or prix‑fixe holiday menus and busier service on those dates, so plan ahead and read the holiday menu or call for details before booking.

Yes, Luna offers outside seating. Guests report enjoying outdoor dining on pleasant evenings, and the restaurant’s owner information lists outside seating as an option. If outdoor seating is important to your visit, call ahead to request it when you book.
