" If you want a cozy local spot with authentic Italian dishes, Cafe Luna is the place to be! I've had pasta dishes at plenty of places, but nothing compares to the flavor and quality here. The service was excellent—our waiter was attentive and had great recommendations. I highly recommend trying the gnocchi; it's phenomenal! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing rave reviews about Cafe Luna, I finally decided to try it. The atmosphere is lovely and reminded me of Italy. I ordered the pappardelle, which was creamy and delicious, but I found the portion to be on the smaller side. The service was friendly, but I had to wait quite a while for the check, which dampened my experience. Overall, I would return, but perhaps not as my first choice. " (*Curated Review*)

" I enjoyed my visit to Cafe Luna, although it had its ups and downs. I ordered the lobster risotto special, and while the flavor was incredible, the portion size left me wanting more. My partner had the stuffed chicken, which was packed with flavor and came with a hefty serving. The service was friendly yet a bit slow, but overall a satisfying experience. I would likely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" The food at Cafe Luna is to die for! We sat outside and enjoyed the lovely weather while savoring our dishes. The veal parmesan was one to write home about, and the wine pairings suggested were delightful too! Very attentive wait staff but the wait for food was longer than we would have liked. " (*Curated Review*)

" If you love fresh pasta, Cafe Luna is where you need to be! The tortellini I tried was so fresh, you can almost taste the love that went into it. The service was friendly and efficient, but they seemed a bit understaffed during my visit which resulted in some minor slowdowns. Nevertheless, it was a wonderful meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a celebratory dinner at Cafe Luna, and it did not disappoint! The appetizer of fried calamari was crispy and delicious, and my main dish, the osso buco, was tender and flavorful. However, the dessert selection was somewhat limited. I would definitely return for the quality of food and the pleasant atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't say enough good things about Cafe Luna! The gnocchi is the best I've ever had, fluffy and perfectly sauced. The servers were attentive without being overbearing, and the atmosphere was simply delightful. Even the decor made me feel like I was in a quaint Italian restaurant. I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)
