    Caponata
    JP P.

    Bella Luna is easily one of the most underrated spots in the area--and honestly, I love that for them. It feels like one of those places you can pop into anytime... because somehow they're always open when you need them Between the cozy indoor dining, warm lighting, and that super cute patio with string lights and desert views , the vibe is effortlessly relaxed but still gives classic Italian charm. It's the kind of place that works for everything--casual lunch, low-key dinner, or even a spontaneous meet-up. Service? Consistently GREAT. Attentive without hovering, and super accommodating when it comes to dietary preferences. If you're vegan or plant-based, you can absolutely make this menu work. Pro tip: go for a primavera penne with olive oil + fresh veggies and just omit the cheese--simple, clean, and hits every time. The bread service came out hot (as it should ) and paired with olive oil & balsamic... immediate win. And the happy hour caponata? DELISH. Flavorful, slightly tangy, and perfect for sharing (or not lol). Everything landed solid across the board--but I have to laugh... the only thing that threw me off were the straws like full-on red 44oz gas station vibes. Totally out of place for the aesthetic and my glass--but honestly, it just made the experience more memorable. Overall: great food, great service, super versatile spot. One of those dependable go-tos that deserves way more hype.

    Extremely cute and intimate place! The food is very authentic and the flavors are delicious!! It was quiet and pleasant and the service was quick and kind. Everything we ordered was delivered hot and in a timely manner. Definitely recommend!!!

    Chicken Piccata
    John T.

    Oh my Bella, where have you been my whole (Arizona) life? All I can say is the food here is very, very good and my compliments to the chef. We started with the Cheesy Garlic bread and I would recommend this as you won't be disappointed. The bread was fresh, warm and the cheese was melted nicely on the bread After taking her first bite of the piccata, my wife said it was the best CP she has ever had. All she could say was "Omg, Omg, Omg...". Well you get the point. The piccata sauce was savory and topped off with capers. It complimented the chicken perfectly. My wife already wants to go back. Hack: My wife ordered the pasta without sauce but with Olive Oil and garlic. It was outstanding!!! I had the Chicken Parmesan and my question is, how can they make the chicken so tender? I mean it was really, really tender. The kind of tender you would expect from a high-end Italian restaurant in North Boston (see my Boston north end reviews). Try the CP if you are craving chicken parmesan. We finished with a tray of three small Cannolis and they too reminded us of the North End of Boston. Like Arnold said, "We will be back!".

    Calamari
    Rachel J.

    I really wanted to love Bella Luna -- I appreciate that it's family run and the ambiance is cozy and romantic, which makes for a lovely setting. Unfortunately, the food just didn't deliver for us. Everything we tried was very bland, almost like even the basics (like salt) were missing, and nothing stood out as exceptional. I hope they can bring more flavor into the dishes, because the atmosphere has so much potential.

    My daughter had the spaghetti and marinara sauce with one meatball and said it was delicious. I had the chicken piccata and it was excellent. The service was great.

    What a great way to celebrate my birthday. I got their New York strip scampi special which was so delicious the veggies and everything was good. The calamari was delicious and got the Italian bread pudding everything was great. Service was wonderful and was a slow day which made it pretty chill. The decorations were great and the little shovels to eat your dessert was amazing

    I am so bummed. We decided to go out with our daughter last night and Bella Luna was a place we'd been wanting to try. We were greeted by a hostess and seated pretty quick, but man it went downhill fast. After nearly 5-10 minutes of sitting being ignored by who we realized was our waitress a man came over and offered some waters and started to take our drink order. I think he saw we were a bit frustrated. After hearing them chat a second he became the waiter. Unfortunately it didn't get better. Our bread and drinks finally arrived, but we again were left ignored an extended time before we ever saw him to take our food order. There was an elderly couple who had been in the restaurant when we arrived who also seemed frustrated by the wait for food and service. My husband wanted to leave, but I tried to reassure him that it wouldn't be much longer.. Boy was I wrong. We arrived a little after 8pm by the time we got our food it was nearly 930. My husband was mad and my daughter was half asleep. Service was atrocious. There was no apologies. Food was just OK. My husband, my daughter and I didn't even finish our meals. For the prices you think they would care. I did notice they were quite attentive to what seemed to be regulars, but for the elderly couple behind us, our table among a few others, it was like we are invisible. We'll never return two stars for the food.vibe was nice, but with service like that it's hard to care.

My husband and I had been once before for our anniversary and the food was incredible. Tonight really showed how much heart and love goes into this restaurant when a little boy peaked out from behind the wall & asked if my kids wanted to play with him as we waited to be seated. After making sure it was okay with who I'm assuming is the owner & family of the little boy, my kids went to the table he was at to color and play with him. Everyone was so kind and gracious with my kids, and the little boy Sebastian was the highlight of our night. He was such a sweet kid & the best little host. My kids had a great time with him as we waited for our food. I got the carbonara, my dad got the chicken pesto & my husband got a 3 meat penne. The kids got chicken tender and fries. Each dish was delicious and tasted authentic. The bruschetta dip was amazing. My husband doesn't normally like bruschetta, but how the flavors were balanced had him eating most of it. The bread was perfect, crisp outside with a softer inside. My carbonara was creamy and flavorful. Most carbonara upsets my stomach because of dairy (but I still order it anyway because it's my favorite), but how they made it here left me feeling satisfied without an upset stomach which is a huge win in my book! It warmed my heart to feel like my kids were welcomed in a restaurant with open arms when many restaurants view kids in general as a burden. We will definitely be back! Personally, we've never been to a restaurant that provided this quality of service and hospitality in addition to the best Italian food we've had at a more than reasonable cost! 10/10 recommend this to anyone!

They compliment the culture extremely well, and help set the atmosphere. When we went for lunch on a Sunday, it was pretty empty (only 1 other table). I would recommend not worrying about the low attendance. I think this has to do more with the fact that Downtown Avondale tends to be pretty empty. I think that they would do really well and be a lot busier if they were in a different location. The service was amazing, our server was attentive and gave out really good recommendations. While all the food was delicious...the free bread was my favorite. It was perfectly toasted and seasoned and included a brushetta topping on the side. I could have just ate that and would have been extremely happy. We ordered an appetizer of Calamari, it was a good portion size for the cost. The Calamari was well seasoned and crispy. I ordered the Portobello Mushroom Ravioli. It was flavorful with large pieces of mushroom mixed with the sauce. Even though it was a white cream sauce, the dish was suprisingly light, I would recommend trying it. The other two people I was with both ordered the Frutti de Mare. There was a good mixe and amount of seafood in the dish and the pasta was cooked perfectly. While the marinara sauce was good, I don't think it was something that was out of this world. I just think it needed a little more seasoning or some kind of kick to round it out. Overall, great restaurant and would recommend.

Both pizzas were interesting. The Lichfield Park pizza has pesto sauce and corn on it, as well as cheese, so you might get a slice of that after your "guests" scarf their first helping. You better grab a slice of the Brooklyn pizza right away, though, because it's a traditional-looking pizza with pepperoni and sausage. You won't get a second shot at a slice. You'll get to finish the rest of the "adult" strawberry & bacon salad, though, with spinach instead of lettuce, walnuts, strawberries, and bacon bits. It doesn't come with ranch or even ranch-colored dressing, so they might not risk trying a pinkish salad dressing as a dip for their pizza crust. It's a very good salad and helped my vacation digestion, since I'm not used to the 110° August heat. Papa Paul's Pizza is less than a mile away from my room at the Wigwam. Going there would even be walkable in the summer heat if the fences around the Wigwam had pedestrian gates. As it is, both driveway gates on that corner of the Wigwam are slotted through the perimeter fence far from the place where Papa Pauls and the resort are just across the street from each other. I'm too delicate for a 0.9-mile walk in that much sun. I enjoyed a glass of wine at the bar to rehydrate, though, while I waited for the pizzas to come out of the oven.

Limited wine list for an Italian restaurant. We started with a caesar salad to split - SO much cheese, it was too much. I understand some people like that, but I wish they would have lightened up the amount and just have people ask for more if they want that. I ordered the chicken & broccoli alfredo. Sauce was clearly made in house, but the pasta itself was generic and did not taste like it was homemade. Good amount of protein though. We also ordered the mango and classic cannolis, and these stole the show. Flaky to perfection! If we come back, we might try the pizzas to see how it compares to the pasta.
