Luna Di Luna

When you pull up to this building don't be fooled by the outside. The inside has a magical ambiance and you'll know immediately you walked into a good place! The food here is phenomenal! My daughter had the Bolognese and I had the Amante Di Luna. Noodles were cooked perfectly and both had great flavor! The bread they serve before hand is to die for and so is the Caesar salad. Service was also great! You can tell this is a family run business and they take pride in serving their customers! I will be back again and again for sure!

House bread was warm and flavorful with a crunchy herb crust. Served with oil and herb dipping sauce (seemed like the oil was too "clear" to be olive oil) the oil was just ok. Caesar salad served with entrees it was fine, lettuce is cut into ribbons making it easier to eat. Here's where things get a little strange - the bolognese is served with meatballs that appear, and taste of the premade-frozen variety. The sauce lacks depth and flavor, no hint of garlic or basil. And bolognese is traditionally a heavy meat sauce, there was not much meat on either plate. Carne Armante - came with 4 meatballs in a meat sauce (very light meat sauce) and slivers of Italian sausage. In all, less meat than I was expecting and overall it was just ok as the sauce was flavorless and I tasted mostly mozzarella and the meat pieces themself. Wouldn't order again. Ambiance was fitting, and it was clean and had a light layer of dust but you could tell they cleaned semi regularly. Italian music played and the lighting was dim but bright enough for the time of day.

I loved my visit to this charming little spot on my way to the airport. Set on a busy road, I was pleasantly surprised by this cozy spot. Walking in, the decor is over the top. Colors everywhere. Cute curtains made by the owner, varnished wood and great music set the stage for a tasty Italian meal. Our server was so sweet and attentive. He gave us the backstory of the restaurant. This Father & Son business made everything even more desirable. The menu is limited but so delicious. Appetizers to dessert, we loved it all. You could tell everything was made with family recipes and a lot of love.

What an awesome place! Beautiful small restaurant with a great vibe. They did have gluten free noodles when I went as well (wasn't on the menu). Loved the experience, the waitress was friendly and quick to chat about the dishes and the wine,and the pasta was great! I'll be stopping by again!

I would say the staff was nice. The atmosphere was interesting, which I liked. The bread was good that they brought out. Although main dishes my wife and I got were not good. We got the Amante Di Luna and Carne Amante, which is all we can speak not to get. The meatballs were gross, which my wife thought were premade frozen meatballs. I'm generally easy to please, so that isn't a good sign I could not finish my meal nor want to take it home. Definitely won't ever go back based on our meal selections that day. It also was expensive for what you get. Gave it a 1 star because you go to a restaurant for the food. The atmosphere and staff are the bonuses, but at the end of the day it's about the food. Bad food is bad food and I can't look past that.

This place is in the middle of nowhere - but as soon as you walk in it takes you straight to Italy (we'll, at least what I picture Italy being like having never been).The menu is pretty limited, but I'm betting it's because they have a few recipes they know - and they do them all better than anyone else!I was torn being a pasta guy as to what I should order. All ten data dishes sounded appetizing. I settled on the Napolitana because it referenced peppers and the hot marina. I wasn't disappointed. The dish was great. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Nice mix of peppers. I even got more bread to soak up the last remaining sauce. The salad - meh. But I wasn't here to eat greens. If you are in Bloomington and want some real, non chain/fast food pasta - this is the place.

We tried Luna Di Luna for the first time for a lunch at work. There were three of us and we ordered the family meal of the Ceciliana. When ordering family style you also get the pasta, salad, and bread. If it were just the pasta and salad, I'd be giving it 3 stars but the bread earned a full star by itself. The salad and the ceciliana was nothing special. The marinara for the pasta was very bland but I was surprised that I liked the hot Italian sausage. The bread had delicious seasoning on top. You also get a dipping sauce which I think is an olive oil but more delicious seasoning in it! The bread is the only reason that would bring me back to try a different dish.

The only reason this place is getting 2 stars is simply because the service, and salad and bread they offered was amazing. Very reasonably priced and overall ambiance was great as well. The entrees however were quite disappointing in quality. I felt Olive Garden (the McDonald's of Italian food) even tastes better in that department. The meat just tasted like it came frozen in a package and my gnocchi had a weird aftertaste. To each their own, just not for me.

I'm utterly confused as to how this restaurant has received such high ratings. The ambience was eclectic and fun, the bread they brought out was fantastic...and that's where it ends.White and red sauces were bland, meatballs tasted like frozen meatballs, as did the chicken and shrimp. Other than the sliced peppers on top of our pastas (which did not seem to fit), nothing about the pastas was fresh. Neither of us wanted to continue eating our meals or take them home. Disappointed as based on the ratings we were hoping we'd found something great. Save your money!

Great family restaurant find. They promptly brought out their amazing bread & were so friendly. Pasta dishes had a flavorful sauce & quality meat.
