Sarah, the hostess, was wonderful in helping me get everything set up for a special dinner while we visited the area. I had proposed to my now fiancé the day prior. Sarah helped me get flowers delivered to the restaurant before our reservation. The service at the table was excellent too! We had a buratta captures salad, steak crostinis, scallops, and Chilean sea bass that were all terrific. They comped my fiancés two glasses of champagne as well as a dessert of our choice! It was an amazing experience and we would love to dine there again. Our waitress even helped us carry the big bouquet of flowers to our car after our meal. Can’t say enough positive things!

"Luna Bella truly embodies the essence of Italian-American dining, offering a delightful fusion of flavors that tantalize the taste buds and warm the soul. At the helm of this culinary haven is the talented Chef Josh, whose innovative creations showcase a deep reverence for tradition coupled with a flair for the unexpected.From the moment you step through the doors of Luna Bella, you're greeted by the radiant hospitality of Brittany, whose passion for hospitality shines through in every interaction. Her genuine warmth and attentive service set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.One standout dish not to be missed is Chef Josh's seared duck, a symphony of flavors that marries tender duck breast with a perfectly crispy skin, accompanied by a luscious reduction that dances on the palate. Equally enticing is the shrimp and grits, a Southern classic with an Italian twist, featuring plump shrimp nestled atop creamy, velvety grits infused with the subtle heat of Italian spices.Beyond the exceptional cuisine, Luna Bella boasts an inviting ambiance that strikes the perfect balance between elegance and comfort. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply craving a taste of Italy, the restaurant offers a welcoming haven where every meal feels like a celebration.In conclusion, Luna Bella is a culinary gem that delights the senses and nourishes the soul. With Chef Josh's culinary expertise and Brittany's gracious hospitality, a visit to Luna Bella is sure to leave a lasting impression, one that will have you eagerly anticipating your next dining experience."

I had the new sea bass and loved it. I also had the new best salad and would not order it again simply I prefer roasted beets. My husband ordered the redfish and stated he preferred the sea bass. We really loved the halibut they removed from the menu. The Cesar salad is always great. Good wine selection. The server we had is not always attentive.

On our recent long weekend in Hot Springs, this was by far the best restaurant. Everything we had was excellent, and I would especially recommend the pork belly and cannoli. It would be a great place to go if you are looking for a nicer place with great food. It looks like a sports bar from the outside, but they have tried to make it a little nicer inside.Parking: Not a huge parking lot, but there were enough spots since we could park by the strip of shops in front of the restaurant.

Delicious food! We enjoyed everything and had a very helpful waiter as well. Would recommend this as a top place to eat in Hot Springs for a nice dinner — we did drinks, appetizers, entrees and desserts so it was a bit pricier, but it was all very worth it!

While a pricey dinner option, ever cent was well spent. My BF brought me here for Valentine's Day and while the outside looks like a strip mall and the dark tint provided a deceptively sketchy vibe, the interior was on point. I personally had the Rack of Lamb and their Valentine Specialty drink Drunken Love. I've never had lamb and my server explained that it was like ordering steak. Always nice to have wonderfully helpful and informed staff. Every bite was delectable. I recommend that if you only have one night in Hot Springs, you get dinner at this delightful restaurant.

Luna Bella was our always go to but maybe it was a bad night - disappointed they removed my favorite warm cabbage salad from menu along with pork chop for my husband. But I get changes are made in best interest of any restaurant. My martini was delicious however we should have went for the Filet instead of pasta dishes. We normally always go early around 5:30 but rescheduled later which was not a good plan - very noisy and service was extremely slow.
