"Bella Luna was a reliable moderately priced neighborhood restaurant where we have had several good meals. This last time the service was horrible, I asked three times for olive oil that never came. The waiter didn"\'seem to want to mention the specials. The food was glop. I will never go back here never"

"We really like the food at Bella Luna and take family and friends here all the time. Everything is delicious, from the spagettii and meatballs to the grilled salmon with dijon mustard sauce. A consistently satisfying dining experience over many years."

"I have been to Bella Luna a couple of times and loved the food, found the service to be great and the prices fair. This time we came with 8 people on a 90 degree nite. The A/C was not working and it was unbearably hot. The staff made no apologies for it, or acknowledgement of it. In fact, when I called a few days later to explain the situation (and my embarrassment having recommended the restaurant to my friends), mgr. said he wasn't there that night but didn't hear of broken a/c. So I guess we were nuts and it wasn't 100 degrees inside and the place didn't clear out completely by 9:00 on a Saturday night! Bottom line: we have always enjoyed Bella Luna but they've lost our business. If you choose to try it (the food is good) eat outside."

The food is always delicious without fail and the waitstaff is very attentive and friendly. It is amazing that after all of these years the quality and service has never faltered."

"A great little neighborhood restaurant, the food is always good, the service always good, the ambience lovely...and it's VERY reasonably priced! Wonderful prix fixe menu and a range of entrees from $10 pasta dishes to the mid-twenties for some meat entrees, with lots in between.

Worth coming to even if you DON'T live in the neighborhood. They also deliver, which I've never done, but my neighbor does regularly.

A wonderful little gem of a restaurant."

"I've been pleased or very pleased with previous meals at Bella Luna, but on this evening, the sauce on my pasta seemed tasteless and watery. When I expressed unhappiness to the manager when he came around to see if we were satisfied, he immediately brought me another portion. The sauce was thick and full, as it should be. Another mishap, was responded to with a round of drinks on the house. It may not have been the best meal, but the responsiveness of the manager, made it much more pleasant and assured that I would return there again."

Very friendly, courteous service staff. Food was very fresh and tasty, we loved the desert options. The nightly $5.00 specials were unique and a great addition to a full range of salads, side dishes, and main courses. Highly recommended!"

"Food and service good, as usual. The special prix-fix is super and good selections. The ambiance is very cozy, even though it is a large space. It was crowded at 7PM (definitely make a reservation), but got much quieter by 9PM. Our table was waiting for us when we arrived. We enjoyed it so much (had not been there in a while) that we are going back with other friends this Saturday night."
