★★★★★ 5.0 Janice Swaisgood · Feb 2026

We have been here multiple times and I don’t know why I’ve never taken the time to review it! This is a little gem — our fave in the hood. I’m never disappointed in the food or the service, and the atmosphere might surprise you if you choose to judge a book by its cover (and location, in a little shopping area, next to a taco shop and an Irish pub). The ravioli — house made — is one of my go-tos and never disappoints. Soup of the day today was potato leek, quite delectable. The blackberry bramble is extra delicious too! Crème brûlée, yes! I don’t know that I have ever had anything here that I don’t like. Tonight was extra special because we were celebrating my cousin‘s birthday and they had a little card signed by everyone and a little gift of their sauce in a cute little jar. Our server,

This place was great. Went with a couple people and we shared our plates and everything was fantastic. We are going to have to go again just to try and get through the menu. The service was really good. Inside the place looks kind of cool there's a lot of wine bottles around it's very cozy and comfy.

We went to dine at Cafe Luna Italian Restaurant on Christmas Eve, and I apologize for the delay in writing this review. The experience was fantastic! The food was great, and the service was excellent. The staff were very helpful in suggesting menu items, and the dishes we tried were truly authentic. The restaurant itself was clean and beautifully decorated, creating a lovely atmosphere. My husband and I are definitely looking forward to returning to try different dishes on our next visit. I highly recommend Cafe Luna for anyone seeking a delightful Italian dining experience!
