" We had dinner at Bella Luna last night to celebrate my husband's birthday. The ambiance was delightful and romantic. We were greeted by a lovely hostess who made us feel welcomed right away. Our waiter was knowledgeable about the menu and offered us a few great recommendations. I ordered the seafood pasta, and it was divine — perfectly cooked and well-seasoned. My husband had the steak, which was tender and juicy. We were also pleasantly surprised by the dessert selection; we opted for the tiramisu, and I'm still dreaming about it! The only downside was that it took a little longer than expected for our food to arrive, but the quality made up for the wait. We will definitely be returning! " (*Curated Review*)

" After hearing recommendations, I finally decided to try Bella Luna. I ordered the caprese sandwich, and it was refreshing and flavorful. The tomatoes were perfectly ripe, and the mozzarella was fresh. Although the service was friendly, it took quite a while to get our food. The atmosphere was bustling, which could be a bit of a distraction. Overall, a good experience with slight room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" I brought my family to Bella Luna for a casual dinner, and we were impressed with the family-friendly environment. The wait staff was attentive and made suggestions based on our tastes. We tried various dishes, including the chicken marsala and pasta primavera, both of which were excellent! The portion sizes were generous, and we left feeling satisfied. I feel that there is a genuine effort to provide authentic flavors that reflect traditional Italian cooking. Definitely a place I would recommend to others. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is hands down the best Italian restaurant in Merced! I was blown away by the freshness of the ingredients used. The spaghetti carbonara tasted just right, creamy and flavorful. The service was prompt and friendly, which added to the overall experience. I'll definitely be back to try more dishes. Highly recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Italian food. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Bella Luna based on the reviews, but my experience was rather mixed. The ambiance was lively and inviting, but the service was a bit chaotic. Our waiter seemed overwhelmed, resulting in a longer wait for food. I had the lasagna, which was okay but extremely cheesy — almost to the point where it masks other flavors. I really wanted to love it, but I left feeling mediocre about the meal overall. I might give it another chance in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Luna has a charming atmosphere that's perfect for a date night. The staff was friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. I ordered the gnocchi, which was nice, but I expected a bit more seasoning. The portion size was decent, but perhaps I was just too hungry! Overall, a good experience, but there's room for improvement. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Luna sure knows how to impress! Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly by staff, and our waiter was exceptional throughout the night. I had the crab ravioli, which was exquisite. The unique flavors complemented each other beautifully. The atmosphere is casual but elegant — a place you can enjoy dressing up for. I had a fantastic night here and can't wait for my next visit!
