Luna Restaurant stands as a pillar of the Venetian dining scene, known for its consistent quality and community-oriented approach. The menu reflects the heart of Italian home cooking, emphasizing fresh ingredients and traditional recipes that evoke nostalgia for homemade meals. Diners can enjoy a selection of house salads and a rotating 'soup of the day', each bursting with flavor and prepared daily. Guests rave about the renowned chicken alfredo and generous servings of spaghetti and meatballs, a combination that perfectly illustrates the richness of Italian cuisine.

Family-style dining speaks to the heart of Luna's philosophy.

Absolutely a wonderful experience. The memorabilia alone is worth going back again and again... Note it is family style and portions are huge...great for yummy leftovers. Also, they only accept CASH so come prepared for a well worth it dining experience. No reservations, first come first served. Too cold tonight for outdoor dining but cannot wait to come back to experience it all!

We really enjoyed everything from the bread to the main course. We had Chicken Parm and Manicotti. Both were excellent. We sit outside on a beautiful evening as the inside was packed! We will be back to try other dishes. Cash only as I read before visiting. Im glad we found this place. The pizza and meatballs looked great!

They are cash only & this caught me & my son off guard when we made the special trip for date night. I asked if I could cash app her immediately. She shooed me off & said she'd hear nothing of it. To eat & enjoy & send her a check! Luna

We went to Luna last night. It is a really unique place to eat. We had to wait a while to get our food because it was shortstaffed for the holidays, but Jim was amazing. It was his first night on the floor and he did great. He and all the other servers were busy. They did a great job going as fast as they can to get the food out. The food was worth the wait. Huge portions and delicious New York style pizza and pasta. I recommend coming here with friends and family. Wine and beer and Cash only.

One of the most unique dinner places you'll find. Outside, the garden and outdoor dinning area make you feel like you are out the country. Inside, a unique collection of memorabilia! So much to look at, such great food. Such great service! Amazing owner. A must if you are in the area. Bring cash (cash only) and make sure you check out the closed days which are Monday and Tuesday. Being an appetite!

This place was recommended by a local and totally surprised us. The atmosphere is super fun and unique, with memorabilia all over the walls. When we walked in, we noticed the massive plates and learned everything is served family style. The menu is huge with tons of options. We had the vodka sauce with tortellini, pesto sauce with stuffed shells, a cheese pizza, and the house red sauce with angel hair - all seriously amazing. And we're from Boston, so we're tough critics of Italian food. Portions easily serve 2+ people. The bread and house relish were great, and the tiramisu was a perfect finish. Awesome meal and service overall, wish we found it sooner. Cash only and beer and wine only FYI.
