This used to be great until they started adding 18% automatic tip and at the end of the dinner hiding that fact by offering you to leave 10% 15% 20% extra tip. When you ask them if the tip was already included they are frustrated and say "yes how much more you wanna add" I have been going to Bella Luna since 2010, loved it. Thanks and good bye, never again. read more

Aventura- Located inside the mall, level 2. We went for dinner and sat inside the large main dining room with another couple. The food was good; the presentation was ok; service was good. Ambiance was a bit hectic and loud for us. read more

Bella Luna? More like Bella Letdown. If you're thinking of dining at Bella Luna at Aventura Mall because the name sounds fancy and you're already dressed cute for some shopping -- do yourself a favor and keep walking. Better yet, run. This place is a prime example of how a pretty location can mask a truly mediocre (and overpriced) dining experience. Let's start with the food. I ordered the spaghetti with Bolognese sauce -- a classic, right? It should be simple, comforting, and flavorful. Instead, I got a salt bomb on a plate for $37. Yes, thirty-seven dollars for spaghetti that tasted like the chef accidentally dropped the entire salt shaker into the pot and said, "meh, serve it anyway." It was borderline inedible. No depth, no richness, no fresh herbs -- just salt, disappointment, and regret. And if you're thinking, "Well, maybe at least the drinks made up for it..." Nope. They charged $7 for a canned soda. Not a cute Italian bottle. Not even a fountain drink with crushed ice and a wedge of lemon. A literal, basic, room-temperature can like you'd get from a vending machine. For SEVEN. DOLLARS. I kept waiting for something -- anything -- to justify the outrageous prices. A bread basket? Olive oil and balsamic? A smile? Nope. Service was bland, just like the pasta should have been. The servers seemed like they'd rather be anywhere else, and honestly? So did I. The ambiance is decent -- if you're into mall crowds and noise bouncing off marble walls. It gave zero intimacy, zero charm, and all the overpriced tourist-trap energy of a place that banks on foot traffic instead of good food or good vibes. Bottom line? Bella Luna feels like the kind of place that charges luxury prices for cafeteria-level food. It's not a treat -- it's a trick. There are too many amazing spots in Miami where your money will go much further, your tastebuds will be happier, and your soda will actually come in a glass. Save your coins. Bella Luna ain't it. read more

It was our first time here and we weren't disappointed. Our server was very attentive and friendly. Made sure we had everything we needed. The ambiance was amazing! Very clean, good music genres and a relaxing vibe. The food was to die for!! The lasagna was nearly the best I ever had!! They were so accommodating that they made a special order pasta for my pregnant wife!! Truly grateful for them. Definitely recommended to everyone!! read more

Bella Luna - Special order - Italian Near Me - Aventura, Florida

I used to love this place. I've been a loyal regular for years -- celebrating birthdays, bringing friends, even recommending it to people visiting from out of town. But last night? That loyalty was completely taken for granted. Our waiter, Andreas, handed me a bill that was $50 more than it should've been. Not from ordering too much, and not from a simple mistake -- they charged me for totally different (and pricier) items than what I actually ordered. It felt dishonest. I don't know what changed, but if $50 means more to the restaurant than the trust of a long-time customer, then I guess they made their choice. Heartbreaking to leave such a scathing review for a place I used to love. read more

The food and service here is top notch and the price tag comes with that but so worth it! This Italian restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating with white tablecloths and a purse hanger they bring to your table. We had the lasagne and pasta primavera and both were huge portions. Stop here if you are near Aventura mall it will not disappoint. read more

Bella Luna feels like a transported me to Italy. I had prosciutto melon which honestly I've never heard of in my entire life but as in Eastern European myself, I knew that this was going to taste amazing. We shared a couple different appetizers, including the eggplant and it was absolutely phenomenal, they're sangrias are very sweet and delicious. If you're into that type of stuff I also heard that the red wine is fantastic. My husband had one of the pasta dishes and he couldn't stop raving about it. I honestly don't know how he ate the whole thing less than 90 seconds, considering the portions are quite big and shareable. I would definitely come back here. The manager of the restaurant is such a gentleman and the staff give you the upmost respect they were truly amazing. It was one of the better experiences in my life. read more

I used to love this place. Went downhill bad. The chicken parm was terrible. Sauce had no flavor. Ambiance is cool. Service is cool. But...the food is not the best. Super cheap tasting chicken. Ceaser salad was ok. You've been warned. read more

Carla is the most sweet and knowledgeable bar manager who always makes us feel like we are the most important clients! The service is always impeccable and food always exceeds our expectations! Thank you guys so much! read more

Delicious place - not fancy fancy despite the prices but definitely delicious. Came here with a stomachless group. We all shared all the dishes. Janeth L from CA took all the pictures. Feasted foods included the pollo giardenetto, tortellini, margarita pizza, pizza al pesto, and much more. Come eat family style even if it's not a family style restaurant! Also the dessert is to die for. All of it. read more

Food wasn't bad. But when I arrived and sat at the bar, this guy told me that I couldn't sit where I was sitting because they were " cleaning ". So, it was 8:00 on Sunday and I was the only person at the bar for my entire stay. And never did I see anyone clean or wipe anything. Just thought that was very odd. Just not a friendly vibe at all. read more

First time at this restaurant. Great food and service. The Ambiene is as great. Prices not t too bad. I will definitely be back.

Came to this place again and gave it a shot, they have slept in their laurels as they have too many tourists coming in and DO NOT need the locals!!! So, ok, got it.... Us locals should and (we wont) be going anytime soon.... Ordered food and one hour passed and nothing!! And I mean nothing!!! So at the end we decided to leave the restaurant!! Impressive... and incredibly they have enough staff and it was not crowded.... Maybe everyone had better things to do! Sorry !! Ah, by the way, corkage fee is based on the price of the bottle you take, so prepare yourself to pay more if you are like me and like a good bottle!!! Cheers read more

The food was awesome, the service was 10/10. We walked in for pizza and Juan at the bar was fantastic! We unlocked a new date night spot!

Sunday dinner was ruined thanks to the manager, Vanessa, who snatched table lanterns from the kids' hands in a half-empty restaurant. Instead of approaching the parents to kindly request the lanterns be returned, she decided to take them directly from the kids and give us a lecture about lantern rules. The kids had been quietly watching the lanterns change colors throughout the meal--until she interrupted. Really?! Was that necessary? The food was disappointing as well. The breaded chicken was nearly burnt, and the mozzarella and tomato salad was just two slices of mozzarella and two slices of tomato, with no olive oil, basil... And on top of it all, we had to ask three times for the check. read more

It was my best friend's birthday and we decided to have lunch here. We were seated right away (outdoor dining only) and provided hand sanitizer once we were at our table. We received complimentary bread with butter. The bread was warm and fresh. We shared the Caprese salad which was delicious. There is oil and balsamic vinegar glass bottles at the table to add to your dishes, which we used for the bread and salad. For our entres we ordered the Tortellini Luna Rosa which is veal stuffed tortellini and peas tossed in a pink sauce. We also tried the Pesto Chicken Pizza. The food was 3/5. I was not impressed with our entrees; the pasta seemed to be missing something and the pizza fell short. I was disappointed as I've had better Italian food especially for the prices. We did have dessert and the chocolate mousse cake with vanilla ice cream was the best part of our meal. However, the service at Bella Luna was incredible. The staff were so kind and attentive. We were served our dishes in a timely manner. They were covid-compliant in terms of sanitation (providing and maintaining) as well as enforcing masks. The service we received is what makes this review 4/5. I would come again as my experience was great but definitely try different dishes. read more

Celiac here. As I entered, I asked the hostess if they had a gluten free menu. I was told "Yes". My son and I were brought to our table which was outside with a covered patio. Once seated the staff walked away and I noticed I had a regular menu and a wine menu, but was not given the gluten free menu that I had asked for. The menu also did not show which options were gluten free. I don't believe they have one, but why would they tell me they do and then not give me one? We waited for at least 10 min with nobody greeting us or filling water glasses. In addition, someone at the table next to us was smoking and my lungs are very sensitive to that. I don't go out to eat to smell someone's cigarette or to be exposed to second hand smoke. I finally asked someone passing by if we had a waiter and he said he was our waiter. When I told him the smoke was bothering me, he said they allow smoking there but they could seat us away from it. We were re-seated at the end of the outdoor area just adjacent to the window looking into the mall, and on the other side of a large party. At that point we didn't smell the smoke anymore but later when eating, someone else must have lit up and it really can make a meal unpalatable for someone who is bothered by smoking. Anyway, trying to look at a menu when you are celiac or have a severe food allergy is difficult when your safe choices are not apparent. I ended up ordering shrimp with broccoli and had to get it without the potatoes because they have breadcrumbs and could not make them without the breadcrumbs. I also ordered a side salad for an appetizer but it wasn't delivered until the meal came. I should have sent it back because it was ordered as an appetizer, not for a side dish, and it turned out to be very bitter anyway. When our food was delivered, the waitress asked me if I would like some fresh cracked pepper and I asked her to circle back around after I had a chance to taste the food. She agreed to return but never did. At that point, it was as if our service ended. Nobody came around to check on our food, nobody noticed our empty glasses or offered us another beverage. It was as if we were invisible on the other side of the large party. When we were finished eating, I waited for a while (with empty glasses as well) and nobody noticed us looking for our server. I finally went inside and asked to speak with a manager. After I told him of our service and I immediately went to use the bathroom, I returned to find they had bagged up the rest of my food, refilled my water glass and left me the check. They didn't ask if I wanted dessert or coffee. The food was just okay, my salad was not good, and the service was sub par. For the menu prices, I would have expected much better. Also, if smoking bothers you, eating inside is a better choice because someone next to you could light up and ruin your meal. Not recommended. read more

Well pounded and seasoned grilled chicken Large excellent mussel's in a great savory hot soup. sauce This pizza with shrimp remarkable because the crust was very thin.

Bella Luna Restaurant in Aventura Mall is a nice Italian restaurant. The service was better than good. Andreas was patient and attentive. The food is good but not extraordinary italian fare. The calamari was delicious and cooked crispy and light. The seafood salad was delicious and beautifully displayed. You can't go wrong with these two appetizers. The linguine Fruiti de mare was just ok. My wife's chicken with eggplant was very light on the eggplant, making the dish disappointing. Overall, if you are in the Mall and need dinner, try it. If you have other options weigh them. If you want a glass of wine, Bella Luna offers wine by the glass for $17 to $21.00 per glass. They have a full service bar and make a delicious lemon drop martini. Not for me. read more

This used to be one of my favorite restaurants in Aventura. Well no more, I got such a sever food poisoning that I could hardly move the next day. Most likely from linguini white clam sauce. I hardly had anything else there that day. The sauce was not even the sauce. The pasta was just drenched in burnt oil, no more cut up clams, no more clam juice, no more white wine or lemon, just clams in shells which made me so sick. So upset, I've been to this place many times and it always used to be so good. Not sure what happened this time but nevertheless it's Ciao Bella Luna, no more for me. read more

A staple of Aventura for over 25 years always a good place to visit. The food is always good as well as service.

To start of I wish they have a 3.5 option becuase I think 3 might be a little low, but it's fair. I'm going to start with the cons. To begin the appetizer and soup prices are a bit overpriced. A pepperoni pizza was $25.00 and the soup was $17.00. There was nothing special about this pizza or soup either that makes up for its price. The service was average until it started getting busy. That's when the service quality went down a bit, but it wasn't terrible. Just less attentive. Now for the pros. The main dishes are easily shareable dishes they give you a good amount of food. The entrees were good and will for sure fill you up. Overall this place was average and slightly over priced. I would be 50/50 on coming back. Good luck ! read more

They serve you 1/3 of glass of wine instead of a glass of wine , they don't serve you when you share the plate ....they don't bring extra plates or extra silverware . We had to ask for it , the service is horrible ... while eating they took the napkins from us we still had a cheese cake coming to the table .... Funny but not proper now the linguine frutti di mare was tasteless , the octopus was good and cheese cake was out of this world these two last thing saved the night but to come here forget about it read more

3.8 I've been going to this group of restaurants for a long time and remember them being better in both quality and value but it looks like that's all out the window. I will say this though...despite the poor tasting dishes and value, the food came out in 10 minutes or so which is incredible and they should be given credit for this. The restaurant wasn't full and it was already around 9:20pm so great job on that front. 5/5 Bread was excellent...love the hard crunchy edges on the outside and soft center with butter. This place gets how to do break just right. 2/5 Linguini Carbonara $17.95 was tasteless and not that great tasting. It came out piping hot and in less than 10 minutes the but pasta itself was lacking flavor. I know it's got the sauce included but still...the pasta itself needed flavor. 3/5 Lasagna alla Bolognese $18.95 was just ok...came out piping hot but the plate itself also didn't have any substance to it and for $19.00? I've had lasagna at other places where they really put a lot into the dish...this one wasn't anything great. 5/5 Tiramisu $8.95 was excellent...one of the best parts of our dinner; the liquor flavor was quite apparent in the lady fingers and the mascarpone cheese with whip cream was perfectly balanced...one of the best I've had. 4/5 Service was friendly...my tea wasn't automatically filled up despite them having bussers etc...I need to flag down the server and have glass refilled. read more
