| - I do want to first say that our waitress, Nicole, was wonderfully energetic, spunky, and attentive.
My personal opinion of this place is that at one time it was probably really good. As they proudly have awards displayed out as you walk in from 2007. Unfortunately, it is now sub-par.
I have eaten at Bella Luna on two occasions. The first was with my fiancé and father (who's Italian). He ordered carbonara and LOVED it. I was not impressed with my Bolognese. We did want to give it another shot though as we are contemplating where to have our rehearsal dinner this fall.
My fiancé and I ordered the calamari. It was bland and definitely not seasoned enough. It really felt as if it was just breaded and fried with a sprinkling of parsley on the top. My fiancé ordered the lasagna. As it came out, it looked yummy. When I tasted it, it was over cooked and flavorless. When I asked him if he liked it he said, "I like the one from Costco better." I had the Fettuccine Alfredo with pancetta and peas. Now I do think this dish tasted very good. It was fairly soupy, but overall I was satisfied. We both did have a tummy ache as we left.
Unfortunately we will not be having our rehearsal dinner at Bella Luna as depending on what you order it is a 50/50 on whether you will like it or not.
I do not want to offend anyone in these further comments, but I really think this place is for Robert Irvine in restaurant impossible. He would have a hay day with this place. The decorations are tacky, the table cloths are not ironed (ours still had crumbs on it when we were sat), and the lay out needs work. The kitchen entrance is open to the main dining area and they have to walk through the front door to get to their tables on the patio. I was told to wait as I attempted to enter because a server was coming out to the patio with food. If I hadn't been notified of this, there would have been a collision of sorts for sure.
