First off... the history of the memorabilia in this place is impressive. This guys collection is immeasurable. You have football helmets signed and enclosed, props from famous movies used by famous actors/actresses, signed letters/photographs/jerseys/etc from famous people who most aren't here anymore. I didn't even get a chance to explore the whole place.. it's covered head to toe inside with the collection. It's so interesting. The owner is an absolute delight and so kind too! She was telling me about her husband's history with the Jets and how he's acquired a lot of his collection. Congrats again on over 50 years married! The food was huge! They don't skimp on portion sizes. I watched everyone's food come out around us and everything looked delicious. I had the eggplant parm and I couldn't have been happier. Had to take half of it home with me! All around fantastic service and atmosphere. Thank you!

We (party of 3) had dinner at Luna's the end of March 2024. Our daughter was visiting from DC and choose Luna's for its ambience and reviews. It really does have a lovely outdoor garden area for seating. We were escorted to our table within ten minutes and it was a wonderful table. We waited 10 minutes for water. Approximately 10 minutes later the waiter arrived. He glared at us and gruffly announced that this is a cash-only restaurant, tossed the menus at the table and stomped off. A short time later another staff member brought bread to our table. It was excellent. 10-15 minutes later our waiter again presented at our table and asked if we knew what we wanted, which after 40 minutes we most definitely did. We ordered a salad and medium sausage pizza. 20 minutes later our waiter arrived with a mixing bowl of salad, which he tossed so callously on the table that ingredients popped out of the bowl, and 3 bowls and dressing. Mind you, not a word from this man since since demanding "do you know what you want". The salad was fine, we had to mix it and dress it ourselves. 10 minutes longer and the worst pizza arrived at our table. The outer 1/3 of the crust, sauce, and sausage was cooked, the remaining 2/3 of the pizza was raw and inedible. The bill was tossed onto our table a short time later without a spoken word. We left the money with zero intention of ever returning. I have read all of the glowing reviews and from our experience, if 0 (zero) star rating was possible, that is what I would have given Luna's. We strolled over to Cote' France, across the street, and enjoyed a couple of appetizers and desserts, amazing wait staff, water was actually brought to us without begging!!!

Off the charts good Southern Italian food. Prices are reasonable for the large quantities that you get - one appetizer or entree is easily shared by two or more. The shrimp plank and meat stuffed cannelloni were excellent and the bread is wonderful! This is true Italian style with very good (slow) service , so relax and savor every minute of it. No need to go back to Italy for the food now!

Nice semi upscale restaurant located a little off Venice Avenue. Serving sizes were huge, enough for 2 or 3 meals so plan on getting a box if you're not sharing a plate. Complimentary bread is offered at the start of your meal and it's served hot and fresh. Calzone was amazing. Service was decent but left a bit to be desired. Definitely check it out but be aware, this establishment does not accept credit cards, only cash or check
