| - Had dinner here on a Friday night during a staycation with the bf at Lake Las Vegas. There are a small amount of restaurants, but there's variety. We decided on Italian and ended up here at Luna Rossa. The location of the restaurant is lovely, very close to the lake, providing a great view from their patio. I also really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere.
I would give the food about a 3.5. The standard bread starter was...standard. Our calamari appetizer had a very nicely seasoned, crispy breading. The bf's spaghetti and clams came in a flavorful white wine broth. I went with the spaghetti and lobster, which I was kind of hesitant about because I don't like gambling on the amount of lobster that comes in the dish. Luna Rossa did not disappoint! There was a whole lobster tail full of meat, and the shell was used in the plating. Each bite of pasta was accompanied by a buttery chunk of lobster tail. Mmmm. For dessert, we had Lavazza coffee, creme brulee and cannoli. All were decent.
I decided to bump up the rating for the great service we got, especially our server, who turned out to be the owner. We did not know he was the owner until the end of our dinner. There was some miscommunication and he thought we needed a hotel room at Ravella. He offered to make a call to get us a special low rate. Too bad, we already had a room.
I like to help out family owned businesses. His family also owns the Black Pepper Grill also in the village. And yes, this is the same Black Pepper Grill that used to be on Eastern. So if you find yourself at Lake Las Vegas and are in the mood for Italian, Luna Rossa would be a fine choice.
