I appreciated that their website makes it easy to see their catering options. I decided to email them and quickly heard back. They also will let you sample their food before fully committing which is what we did (with generous portions). I appreciated that they were able to accommodate my pescatarian diet and our friend's gluten free diet. Once we got our quote and tried the delicious food we knew we wanted to move forward and we secured our date. The team arrived in a timely manner, set up quickly and everything looked polished and professional. The team was so efficient as each table went up to get food. Our guests kept raving about the food which is always a great sign! I can't thank Bar-b-kings enough for helping us make our day so special and we would gladly choose them again for future events!

I called and left a message and Giancarlo called me back right away. Giancarlo is an amazing owner/manager and helped set up our amazing experience. We were able to sit in the back room on 3 separate tables. Our original group grew from 30 to 38 and they were still able to accommodate us. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful - exquisitely decorated with an Italian grocery store next door. I love this! You can dine and shop in their amazing little store! Our dinner was absolutely delicious - I ordered the margherita pizza and my husband ordered the gorgonzola and fig pizza. Of course I didn't get any pictures because I ate it too quickly and was having too much fun! Our servers provided us with the best customer service and took such great care of us. They were so patient with our large group and truly treated us like family. I want to thank Giancarlo and his wonderful staff for the excellent service and food and helping our team's parents enjoy a wonderful time together. It was so memorable and we will always be grateful for this phenomenal experience! I highly recommend Bella Luna if you are in town and want some delicious Italian food and feel like a VIP. The servers and their amazing customer service are one of the biggest reasons I would come back again and again!

Got the food fast. We were shocked at the size of the salad! It was plated beautifully! My sandwich was delicious. Only tiny complaint.. I wish there were more vegies on it. The fries were crazy good and crispy! Crinkle cut.! There are other options for your sides. I got a piece of pumpkin roll to go. Had to take a bite as we were leaving.. it was divine!!! I can't wait to stop again. The ladies were so attentive and fast. Please stop by if you're in Merced.

The papaya salad is a must and the spice level was the perfect amount. The Khao Poon is a coconut curry based noodle soup that is so flavorful. I've also come to really enjoy the Nam Khao (Laotian crispy rice salad), each bite is crunchy and absolutely delish. Your Asian comfort food cravings will definitely be satisfied here.

Drool worthy!! One guy was super good, definitely an owner or family, but the rest of the staff could use a little more experience. It'll come with time, but just a little feedback for them to think about. For example, i was the first one there and asked for 3waters, after my friends arrived, the were never asked if they wanted anything else to drink. The combo lunch was missing one of the meats but they brought it out. I'll definitely be back and looking forward to trying their family dinners
