    Everything about Luna was terrific. My wife and I are not big eaters. We shared the lemon Caesar salad and signature shrimp spaghetti dishes. Every plate was split for us. I also ordered the caci de pepi raviolo side to taste. Everything was exceptional and excellent. We have never seen shrimp so large and flavorful. So glad we went to this restaurant!!

    This is a great little neighborhood Italian restaurant and bar that we enjoy frequently. Contemporary inside but warm materials make it comfortable. The table bread is one of our favorites. It's been a meal place decider on several occasions. Plenty of delicious menu items to choose from, whether it's a pasta dish or pizza, we don't think you'd be disappointed.
