" I visited Bella Luna for dinner with friends last weekend and had such a memorable experience. The food was outstanding— I had the Eggplant Parmesan, which was baked to perfection. It's clear they use fresh ingredients as everything tasted vibrant. The atmosphere of the restaurant is warm and inviting, making it perfect for a casual evening out. My only critique would be the noise level, which picked up as it got busier, so if you want a quieter setting, try to go earlier in the evening. All in all, I highly recommend this charming Italian restaurant! " (*Curated Review*)

" Dinner at Bella Luna was such a delightful experience! The atmosphere was true Italian; cozy, warm, with beautiful decor. We ordered a few entrees to share among the table, including the risotto and the eggplant parm. Both were exceptional in flavor! The service was top-notch; attentive but not intrusive at all. Plus, they have a wide wine selection which complemented our meal perfectly. I’d definitely go back and would recommend it to anyone looking for high-quality Italian food! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a disappointing experience at Bella Luna recently. While I found the atmosphere quite charming and the staff friendly, the food didn't live up to my expectations. I ordered the Marinara linguine but it was lackluster in flavor and tasted more like something you could get at a chain restaurant. Not what I had anticipated given the high praise from friends. I gave it a 3 because the service was still great, and I enjoyed the ambiance, but the food was a letdown for me. Maybe I just picked the wrong dish, but I expected better from such a well-reviewed spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Luna’s location is fantastic and ideal for enjoying a meal after exploring Central Park. The pasta dishes we've had before were amazing, but the pizza was even better than expected! We ordered the pepperoni pizza, and it had such a nice thin crust with plenty of toppings. The restaurant had a beautiful ambiance, and the staff was incredibly polite. We didn't have to wait long for our food, making it a perfectly enjoyable meal. Highly recommend to anyone looking for good Italian food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" What can I say? Bella Luna exceeded all my expectations! I had a delightful experience from start to finish. The wait staff was exceptionally courteous and attentive. We ordered a variety of dishes to share: the calamari, shrimp scampi, and risotto. Each dish was artfully presented and bursting with flavor. The ingredients felt fresh and there was a wonderful balance of tastes across all meals. The ambiance is perfect for both families and cozy dinners for two. I can't wait to come back and try more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Bella Luna is a hidden gem on the Upper West Side! I visited last night and was blown away by the delicious pasta dishes. I tried their Tagliatelle Bolognese, and it was rich and hearty, truly authentic Italian fare. The ambiance was cozy and romantic, perfect for a date night. The service was attentive without being intrusive, which I really appreciated. We even enjoyed some great wine from their extensive selection. Overall, my experience was nothing short of fantastic. I will definitely be returning soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family had a lovely evening at Bella Luna. We were looking for a family-friendly Italian restaurant, and this place did not disappoint! The server brought us crayons for the kids right away, which was a nice touch. Our meals were delicious—from the pasta with meatballs to the pizza, everything was heavenly. I particularly enjoyed the dessert! The chocolate mousse was rich and delightful. The only hiccup was the wait time for our food, but the atmosphere made up for it. I would definitely recommend it for families! " (*Curated Review*)
