La Bella Luna

Back againNo wait for a table at 7 pm on a FridayOrdered a pizzaGreat food and serviceHighly recommend!

We have frequently enjoyed dining in or taking out from Bella Luna. I don't want to take that history away from them. But our most recent take out will probably be our last encounter. I ordered a pizza online and my husband (returning home from out of town) was going to pick it up. There was some confusion about what I 'thought' I ordered and what was made. Noproblem; THAT is not the primary issue in this short story. When I opened it up at home, it had a puddle of water in the middle of the 18"', from all the mushrooms primarily in the center of thepie. As I padded it dry and tried to replace cheese on the rest of the pie ( drawn to the middle because of the water), my husband called to speak with the manager, expecting nothing but knowing certainly the manager would want to know for quality control. The manager wasn't available to speak and texted the next morning. His responses prioritized the order mix up, without addressing our real issue nor taking responsibility. My husband just left it alone at the point; why continue? I assure you if we'd been dining there, the manager would have probably made time for us and possibly (?) replaced our drainage ditch of a pizza. What's left in the photo is what's left of what we tried and tossed. Please Bella Luna, the next time pay attention, don't be obtuse, listen to the customer and take some responsibility. Wishing you well moving forward.

After visiting the first Friday event, we stopped in for some dinner. The restaurant was not very busy and we were able to be seated at a table inside.We started with the bruschetta, which was tasty. I especially liked the flavor of the bread that was used. For entrees, we split the pepperoni pizza and the chicken parmigiana. The pizza had lots of cheese and the baby pepperonis, which are my favorite. The chicken parmigiana had a flavorful breading and a decent portion of food.the red sauce had a great taste. There were 2 reasons for the 3 star review. While the food was delicious, it was overshadowed by the lack of service. There were extreme long waits between getting menus, ordering, receiving food, and trying to ask for the check and to-go boxes. We asked 3x to different servers before receiving boxes. Also the sodas were very flat and next to no carbonation in them.

Loved this place, I went for a date night with my lady and although they were about to close they still took care of us. Went for the pastas and they were great, I would read the ingredients though because I don't eat pork and some pastas include pork just with a different name. All in all great food and will definitely be back

La Bella Luna is a pleasant and quiet Italian restaurant (at least for 1 PM on a Sunday) on the Baldwin Park strip, hosting a variety of delicious pasta options and a sweet atmosphere that makes it perfect for a date night. Our server Andres was exceptional and offered insight into menu offerings, as well as making sure that everything was just right for our lunch. We could tell the restaurant was clean on initial entry, and the staff were kind across the board. Dining room was also clean and has beautiful lighting. Perfect music choice making it easy to have a conversation. Though we didn't order any drinks other than water, their menu has plenty of offerings that can be paired nicely with your chosen dish. The Mozzerella In Carroza was delicious, perfectly fried and easily shareable for two (3 pcs.). My wife ordered the Canneloni Con Fico & Spinache off the specials menu, whereas I ordered the Penne Allá Vodka (Lunch portion). At first we were worried that the portions looked small, but they were so hearty and rich that we felt full after finishing our respective dishes. The figs were a nice sweet addition to the spinach and cream sauce of the Canneloni. The Penne Allá Vodka was creamy and prepared me nicely for an afternoon nap. Tiramisu rounded out our meal, perfect delectable and light dessert offering. For pricing, you will be looking at around 30-50 a person (20-30 dollars entree, 10-20 drink offering, not including appetizer and dessert). Lunch portions are slightly smaller than dinner, but still will fill you up!

Worst service ever, I placed an order on there website and when I called about a pizza delivery that's over 75 mins later for a delivery 2 blocks away No customer service by Manager, instead finding a resolution he argumentative.NOT WORTH OUR SUPPORT

Impromptu decision to 'pop in' and was pleasantly surprised. The interior really has two atmospheres: pizza parlor to the right and fine dining restaurant to the left (mood lighting and all). Service was absolutely top notch. Andres was our server and he was fantastic: frequently came to check on us without being overbearing and played with my granddaughter (1 year 4 months). He made sure we wanted for nothing and tried to anticipate our needs. We started with the perfectly seasoned fried mozzarella appetizer, which came in oval shapes patties, with marinara dipping sauce. Crunchiest on the outside and super gooey on the inside. Loved it!Ordered meatball appetizers and did not like them. Was gonna take off a star But when Andres found out I didn't like them (kinda mushy and liquid soaked and not really tasting like ground meat), he offered to bring another appetizer (I opted for another order of mozzarella) soooooo they earned back that one star!The chicken parm was a super generous portion which fed two people. Sauce was delectable and chicken was tender white meat well cooked and seasoned. The Pomodoro was magnificent. I originally intended to only eat half (trying to cut down on starch and really should not have chosen an Italian restaurant) but it was sooooooo good that I couldn't resist and stuffed myself with the entire dish. It had the best sauce with tender strips of grilled chicken breast with what tasted like homemade spaghetti (but I doubt if it was). Nothing was overly salty and that was up high on my list. Only coke products (no ginger ale) and a decent wine list (no true bar so no real 'cocktails'. Cannoli was top notch and not overly sweet! Yay. Would I return? A definite yes.

One of my favorite Italian Restaurants! I have been there 3 times! And all of them it was amazing! Once I sat outside and I arrived it was still daytime, and then it became night! It was beautiful and the day was chill, not very hot. Me and my friend stayed there for hours! Such a nice vibe!The other times it was pretty hot so I decided to sit inside! Also very comfortable and nice!The food is amazing! Everything that I order, all the times were great! There is no mistake over there!Pasta, pizza, the dessert, the salad! There is free parking on the road, and near.

Easy to get a table most of the time. Pasta is fresh but bread is like a cracker. Service is okay but i love sitting outside.

My family went to La Bella Luna for a birthday celebration and unfortunately it was one of the most disappointing dinner experiences we have had. To begin with the poor service, the server seemed overwhelmed and undertrained. It took over 20 minutes for one person in our party to receive a single glass of wine, and we had to request refills on sodas that had sat empty for 10+ minutes. The restaurant was not busy at the time. I asked for the menus to be taken off the table as appetizers were being served and entrees were ordered, however no one picked them up and we had to bring them back ourselves. After over an hour we all received our entrees which were mediocre at best. We realize that with a larger party the food will take a bit longer, however other tables had gotten through their entire dinner before we received our entrees. The server also informed only a few people at the table there would be a cake cutting fee of 20 dollars, however when the bill came it was 25. Entree dishes sat piled on the table while cake was served as well. Needless to say this was a highly disappointing experience.
