“ Great lunch special, every one gave excellent service. 16.00 lunch with salad! Excellent service dog friendly, disco music excellent! ”
“ Was in NYC for a work trip. I was staying in Little Italy - Chinatown area. I was initially going to the place next door, but saw that they were cashless.i had just converted my Canadian cash to US, so I was outta luck. Luckily, as I was walking, a gentleman was promoting Luna Ristorante. I told them that I was looking for some Italian food & I was apparently at the right place! Brought me inside and I was seated. The server was very nice and generous. The food was spectacular!!! The pasta sauce was very rich and flavourful. I wasn't too fond of the Sangria - perhaps it was just the fruit inside. The bread was wonderful as well, warm and toasty. Whenever I go back to NYC, I'm definitely coming here! ”
“ Had this food last night with my fiancée. Great food and wonderful portions. Absolutely loved it! ”
“ Loved my lunch. The other diners that I was with felt that it much more prosaic experience but they did not try anything outside of their normal menu choice. (Chicken Parmesan and spaghetti) I loved my fusilli with sweet Italian sausage and mushrooms. ”
“ Our family of six dined here on a Sunday afternoon. It was nice to find a restaurant that could easily accommodate our party without feeling like we were sitting on top of each other. Everyone in our party enjoyed our meal. My husband and I took the waiter's recommendation and tried the Petti di Pollo Serrentino and the Polllo alla Valdostana - both were tasty and the portions were large. The kids order fettucine alfredo, ravioli, spaghetti alla carbonara and farfalle con salmone and they all ate it up. The staff were very friendly. It took a little while to get the food, but we were not in a rush and enjoyed an appetizer and bread while we waited. ”
