    Lamb Shank
    Bobby W.

    Finally got in here to tried the food. Possibly the most opposite experience I ever had with a restaurant. I have to eat my words from my first experience. Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

    Octopus really yummy

    This is our family's favorite Italian restaurant in Concord. It's perfect for a dinner, a quick lunch, or simply a drink at the bar. The owner, Habib, always greets us with a smile and takes wonderful care of us. It's so pleasant to feel that welcome. Our little one always gets a small extra treat, which really warms our hearts. Alfredo is also nice and very knowledgeable! The food is delicious, no matter what you order. I usually get the mussels and octopus--both are absolutely yummy. It's definitely one of the best options on the plaza!

    Making reservations for Christmas eve dinner was super easy but the website didnt mention a Prix fixe menu for the nights. Know we know. Overall the food was good quality. Braised short ribs were tender and tasty. Chicken carbonara was a bit bland. Salmon was tasty. Soup and salads were delicious. Tiramasu for dessert was super tasty. Worth the visit. Will be back for a regular meal and the normal menu so the wife can try other dishes.

    Mista Salad

    Decided to try a new Italian spot in Todos Santos Plaza after living here for about a year. Was able to walk in on a Saturday night and grab a table for two even though it was pretty busy. Started with the caprese and mista salad to share and it was fantastic flavor and great portions. The caprese was a bit plain to me but still okay. I'd probably skip it next time. My wife got the pesto chicken pasta and I got the carbonara. Flavors were incredible and the portion size wasn't your typical "family style" giant bowl - which I appreciated. We finished both plates. Will be going here again!

    We live in Walnut Creek and dine out often. Want try some where new couple nights ago. Thought give this place a try. Lucky pick for the night! We came to Concord quite often but never went to that corner of the street. Inside was very old fashion Italian deco, and they played Frank Sinatra song through the night which is my son's favorite, he loved it immediately. We started with the beat salad, loved the salad dressing very much. It gave the salad a refreshing kick. My seafood cioppino was topped with fresh crab meat but the clam and mussel was a little dry. My son ordered Carbonara and he said it was perfect. Dessert was excellent, very nice presentation, raspberry sauce was not overly sweet. We also asked to added the Mozart liquor to the coffee. It's my favorite way to drink coffee as the dessert. The server, "V" did exactly what we requested for the coffee. He was very friendly and treated every customer like his family member or close friend. Love the place. Good food, good ambiance, great service and a dash of history. We will visit often.

    Located on busy Willow pass road, this is a great Italian restaurant for family and friends. I loved their bruschetta, which are garlic bread with delicious toppings: tomatoes, olive tapenade, and goat cheese. For your entree, I would recommend their Gamberi: crab meat and jumbo shrimp in a garlic white or red sauce. They also feature a great assortment of desserts, such as the lemon cello: tangy and sweet!

    Nice restaurant in the Willow Pass area with ample street parking. Restaurant is not that big, but it's big enough where this place need more than one waiter and one helper. The waiter tried his best, but it was a good half hour before we were able to place our order. There was a gentlemen playing live music which made it challenging for conversation. Overall the food quality is very good. The garlic bread was fresh garlic started the meal well, paired with stuff mushroom and carpaccio. For the app, the fish special (Sea Bass) was cooked well but the portion appeared smaller compared to the beef special (rib eye) that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their pasta was top notch and flavor was perfect. Their dessert is something not to miss. I suggest pairing whatever dessert with their affogato (my favorite was the panna cotta and tiramisu).

    Our server was great. He was solo and holding down the restaurant. We go here yearly for holiday lunch with the department. Food is always good and I got desser but I ate it before I could take a pic.

    Service was excellent, food was good. Small family owned restaurant. We had a nice time

    Pesto
    Joanne M.

    Luna's never fails in the quality of food they serve. We had a wonderful waiter who made us a fresca type drink which was delicious! It began the start of the meal with anticipation of what would be served. Every person enjoyed what they ordered. Only one person would change what they would order the next time we ate here. Let's start. Pesto with pieces of chicken. The person who ordered this lives pesto and makes pesto at home so he knows what truly great pesto taste like. He loved the pesto and cleaned his plate completely, but said, he wished the chicken wasn't added to this pesto dish. Maybe the chicken meat should be on the side or another meat needed to replace the chicken. Perhaps pork or lamb. He would not order this again if chicken was added, but the pesto sauce was so delicious. Meatballs with Linguine This was a big hit with my friend's 7 year old daughter. She ate almost everything and brought the rest home. Normally, she would leave what she didn't like , but not today. I may consider ordering this next time because it is definitely a delicious comfort food I grew up with. Short Ribs If you look at the picture, you can see how delicious it was. The presentation was impressive and the experience eating this was memorable. The person said he would order it again. This person loves meat so if he says he would order it again, you know the dish is worth trying! Pescatore This is a Frutti de Mare type of dish. The tomato sauce base with different types of seafood was wonderful. There was the right amount of each seafood and I enjoyed every bite. I would say this is my comfort food and would order it again. As for the desserts, you can go wrong with any of them. I would have ordered the Creme Brulee,but will order it next time. Luna's Restaurant is consistently good. This is why we like to support it and feel blessed Concord has such an exemplary Italian restaurant! It beats or stands equal to any Italian restaurant in San Francisco. This coming from an Italian Filipino is high praise!

    What I can say is that it is a beautiful intimate restaurant. The food was okay.. the entree really saved the whole experience. They were too busy for the amount of people they had working. We waited a very long time for our food. Unfortunately, our waiter was too busy making drinks and trying to attend to many tables. We tried to ask the busser for help but he did not speak English . We felt pretty underwhelmed. Probably would recommend Doppio Zero or Telferic!

    Short Ribs
    Tash C.

    I really enjoyed my experience here! Came in on a Friday evening. Was fairly empty when we arrived but filled up quickly. It's a small and intimate setting, and also includes a bar. After being there for 20 minutes or so there were already several parties waiting to be seated, so I wouldn't come too late. There was an older gentleman playing an accordion which was loud but felt like it was true Italian style and I got pretty used to it after a while. The food was delicious! I looove the bruschetta! I ordered the short ribs which were super tender and delicious. It included mash and veggies which were also really good. My wife had the calamari appetizer. We weren't the biggest fan of the calamari, batter was a little thick and oddly sweet. But the squid on the inside seemed fresh which was nice. I asked for a wine recommendation with my short ribs and was recommended the Fantini Sangiovese. I'm not a big fan of red but it paired well with the short ribs and it also delivered a nice buzz! lol lastly we got the spumoni dessert. The ice cream was really thick and creamy, the chocolate was rich and the pistachio was delicious. Lastly, the service was amazing! Juan was our server and he's fantastic! He made sure to check in frequently and made our visit really enjoyable! I love his vibe/energy, made our dining experience that much better. I also noticed some other men running meals, who I'm thinking may be the owners. It's really nice to see the owners get out there and help the staff/interact with the guests. You can tell they all really care about their customers. I definitely will be returning here!

    Food is great the wait not so much. But it helps that you can grab a drink outside and wait…read more It was our first time here, the server was helpful and suggested some great options.

    This place holds a special place in my family and is heart. This is our go to when we're having big…read moregroup dinners, special announcements or just want to pig out and enjoy our time together! We've been coming here for the past 5-6 years and we'll keep coming back! The staff is so kind and efficient. Everything is so organized and orders are taken and placed at the table in a timely manner. We're never having to call a waiter over to request food or anything like that. The staff members are also more than willing to explain the menu for first time diners. Since it's all you can eat hot pot, it can get a little confusing! The food is excellent, we love the appetizers, the fresh and seafood bar and the bases of the soups! You really can't go wrong. They have everything you need to curate your perfect soup! They have all the popular condiments available to make your perfect seasoning or dipping sauces and spicy/ non spicy options. There's something for everyone here! The greens and seafood always looks very fresh and with the time we've been dinning here as a family, we've never left unsatisfied. The perfect part is, after the feast is done, since your in a shopping center you can walk out the heaviness you might feel by over doing it! Haha not to mention the great music choices!! Who ever is on AUX, you're doing great!
