Caffe Luna

Caffe Luna is the BEST!! My boyfriend and I went here for our one year, and it was incredible! The ambiance is incredible and is very homey with a touch of elegance. The service was incredible, and our server was amazing even though the restaurant was packed! The food is to DIE FOR. We started with the mozzarella fresca and it was so fresh and the perfect app. I got the gluten free version of the rigatoni con pollo alla panna and it was amazing! The creamy sauce paired with the spinach and chicken made a perfect dish- light tasting but definitely filling and delicious! I cannot recommend this place enough. The price point is also great for a nice dinner. Great place for date night, special occasions, or just because! 10/10 we will be back!

Food was decent. I got the linguine fra diavolo which was nice but kinda watery. It had quite a bit of spice which I enjoyed.Chicken Parm that my friend got was dry.Calamari was fine. Adequate.I ordered the tiramisu for dessert which was horrible! It's the only dessert that they make in house (but that doesn't mean that's a good thing). The lady fingers were so dry, had barely soaked through.The servers were fun and attentive. I feel like ours was attentive but not that friendly (maybe she was having a rough night or something) but she split the checks for our group of 7! Sigh, I feel so bad for people who work in the service industry. Overall caffe Luna was a cute lil spot and I would eat here again but it does depend on what you order for sure.

Only a couple of minor things make this a four and not a five star experience. But, make no mistake, it is a fantastic choice for Italian. And the prices are better than Olive Garden--I think that speaks volumes. The reason for the drop is, while the free bread is always a fantastic choice, it was basic and nothing special. Secondly, the Fiocchi, while good, could have used a bit more salt or savoriness in the sauce to balance the sweetness of the pasta. Still, I recommend trying it at least once. We swapped the red sauce for pink sauce on the Ravioli Fiorentina and it was 10/10-highly recommended! It was my wife's birthday and they gave her a free slice of cheesecake which was kind of them and also tasted great. The service was great--they were nice and attentive. The place itself was also perfect for a date night. A nice intimate experience. Overall I recommend.

Caffe Luna was an authentic Italian-American restaurant experience. The food and wine were delicious and the atmosphere of the dining room was delightful. I got the Tortellini Crostacci (that was so delicious that I forgot to take a picture of it until I was almost done) and my date got the Chicken Parmesan that came with a chicken cutlet that was perfectly cooked and must've been over a pound. This is a great spot for many different occasions!

This was my first time here and the food was delicious!! I'm still dreaming about the pasta dish I ordered. My date ordered the chicken parmigiana and the chicken was delicious as well. I wish it came with more pasta but overall I would recommend this restaurant and I'll definitely be back!

DELICIOUS Italian cuisine in the cutest restaurant!I've seen this place so many times, but haven't gotten a chance to visit. My mom was in town for her birthday so I decided it would be a great opportunity to check it out. I made a reservation for a Friday evening through OpenTable. This restaurant is located in downtown Raleigh. Although there is street parking, it is scarce and there's other businesses, bars, and restaurants in the area that also use that parking. There are, however, pay lots and parking decks right across the street and a short walk there. The inside of the restaurant is small, but it really fits the feel and makes it feel more authentic. The menu has great options. They only have beer and wine for the drink menu. We both ordered a glass of wine and were given break and olive oil for dipping. The bread was really good. It was the right temperature and taste. I ordered the Tortelli Crostacci and it was so good. I love good Italian cuisine and this was fresh and flavorful. My mother ordered the Parmigiana di Vitello (Veal Parmigiana) and her meal was great too. The food was fresh and flavorful and cooked well. The prices were reasonable, especially for the quality and quantity of food. I have fallen in love with this place and can't wait to return!

We came here for a date night last week. It's a beautiful establishment with delicious food. It does get crowded and loud (tables are pretty tightly packed, and the dining room is quite echo-ey), but that didn't bother us!Our server Emma was very sweet. Highly recommend the rigatoni con pollo allá panne. The creamy white sauce was to die for!

Amazing ambiance and the food is always perfect. Easily one of my favorite Italian spots in Raleigh.

We went to a catered event at Caffe Luna. The food was delicious, the service excellent and the restaurant made for a cozy space for the guests. The staff seemed to do everything from bartend to bus tables and they all were pleasant and helpful. Shrimp cocktail, meatballs, pasta with vodka sauce were some of my favorites. The white frosted sheet cake and crème puffs were outstanding.

Not kidding when I tell you this is the best place i've ever eaten at. The Fiocchi is out of this world and a must try. Food was fresh and wine was refreshing. Appetizers and salads were just so great. Hostesses and waitresses were super kind and helpful to someone new to town. Would 10/10 recommend:)
