    Chicken Picatta
    Kaylee C.

    We went for Valentine's Day and the vibes were nice with ambient lighting. However, even with our reservations we were placed in the back corner of the restaurant and were forced to sit side by side and face the sax player who was like 2 feet from our table. We are giving them some grace because of the holiday but the service was slow and they messed up my order and then just tossed some pesto on the dish to fix it. The food was not super flavorful either. The wine was great though and happy hour was a plus.

    We decided to try La Bella Luna on a Monday night. We got there just after 6pm. It wasn't busy yet. Only 1 other couple. It had night dim lighting and Italian decor. The server seated us in a very comfy booth. After ordering drinks my friend had to return his Diet Coke because it tasted terrible for a Sprite. I got Chicken Parmesan which was ok. It was hard to cut and the noodles were a little dry. My friend got the Paella Risotto and loved it. We ordered chocolate cake and gelato for dessert. The gelato was very good. The service was ok. We did have to wave down our waitress for more drinks etc. we didn't try the pizza but saw other people receive it and it looked very good.

    I went to La Bella Luna for the first time on a date night with my husband, and we had a lovely experience. It is a cute little Italian restaurant located on New Broad Street. We had a reservation for Friday night, which I definitely recommend because the place started filling up pretty quickly. We started off with the Mozzarella in Carrozza as an appetizer. For our main dishes, we had the Pappardelle Bolognese and the Spaghetti Pomodoro. You really can't go wrong with a classic meat sauce. It wasn't the best I've ever had, but it was still tasty and we both enjoyed our meals. For dessert, we shared the tiramisu, and that was a definite win. The staff was super attentive and made us feel right at home. I also noticed they have a to-go window, and a few people stopped by to grab pizzas, which is good to know if you're looking for something quick. If you're in the area and craving some classic Italian comfort food, La Bella Luna is a good choice.

    CHICKEN PARMIGIANA
    Delaney S.

    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.

    The food is pretty average, but it's usually not busy, so it's easy to get a table. The biggest area for improvement is definitely the service.

    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!

    Love eating at this quaint spot. Appreciate they have a patio and are dog friendly. I had the penne alla vodka and my friend had the Bianca pizza. Both were delicious!!! The Chianti wine was the perfect pairing and we really enjoyed ourselves.

    If I could give it a zero star I would. DO NOT EAT! I was up from 4 AM to 6 AM throwing up nonstop. The next night i was up from 4AM to 6AM diarrhea & with severe stomach pain (sharp stabbing sensation). This all happened after eating their chicken parm. They are lucky I don't file an investigation report. DO NOT EAT. STAY AWAY.

    Food took a bit too long to come out, however it was good and the waiter was extremely apologetic.

    Mozzarella in Carroza.
    Fabu L.

    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.

    Lots of mushrooms!

    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. No problem; 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 the pie. 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.

The restaurant has such a cool atmosphere with a mix of retro and vintage decor. They offer both low and high top seating, but we chose the couch for a more comfortable and relaxed vibe. It's a great place to hang out with friends because they have a large projector playing movies and a little corner filled with board games and card games. You order by scanning a QR code, which I really liked because we didn't have to wait for someone to take our order. Everything came out fast, and I mean FAST! We started playing Uno to pass the time, but we didn't even finish one game before our appetizer arrived. We ordered the creamy Caesar salad, and it was a 10/10. Caesar salad is my favorite, so that says a lot! It came with larger pieces of romaine lettuce and a delicious garlic crunch topping. For our pizzas, we ordered the vodka pizza and the pepperoni pizza. I had seen reviews saying that the vodka pizza was overly salty, and I can agree that it was on the saltier side. However, ordering multiple items helped balance it out. The pepperoni pizza was delicious, and the thin, crispy crust on both pizzas was perfect. Nuri's is a great option when you want to indulge without eating anything too heavy. I'm already excited for my next visit, and I definitely plan on bringing more friends!

    Stopped in one night during the Immerse event. It was right next to one of the stages I was…read morefrequenting, and I wanted a quick slice, so in I popped. Ambiance was really fun. The thinnest place I've ever seen. Only room for two lines of people in the main area, one line for ordering, one line for picking up. Behind the counter was quite the operation. Pies being baked in one oven, being put on display, and then another oven jam packed with slices being warmed for the customer, along with their accompanying garlic knot. Every slice comes with a complimentary knot. I'm pretty sure I saw whole pizzas going out with eight included knots. The service was pretty good. Efficient, friendly enough workers. There was an aura of hurry up, what do you need, but with a line out the door literally all night, I do not blame them one bit. And the slice factory line got you in an out as quickly as it possible could. As for the slice itself, it was pretty ok. Good crust, foldable slice. Very cheesy, which is needed for most clientele who are in the middle of downtown in need of munchies. Slim toppings, though, and even after the heating process, the slice was kind of cold. Overall, for the convenience and the price, this place was good. I'll definitely come back under the right circumstances.

I asked if they offered a military discount, and the employee told me they did. When I presented my military ID, he refused to apply the discount and then attempted to take my government-issued military ID out of my hand to inspect whether it was legitimate. That interaction really caught me off guard and made me uncomfortable. Regardless of the store's policy, there are more respectful and professional ways to handle that situation. I still purchased my food and ordered a standard cheese pizza, hoping the food would make up for the experience. Unfortunately, it was pretty average. The bottom of the pizza was pale and seemed undercooked, so it lacked the crisp texture I was expecting. The ambience, however, did seem really nice. They have upstairs seating that overlooks the street, which could make for a nice spot if you're dining in. Overall, I understand busy shifts can be stressful, but customers should still be treated with courtesy and respect. Better customer service and more consistency in the quality of the pizza would go a long way. Based on this visit, I don't see myself returning.
