At the risk of sounding like an insider, I'm seriously going to tone my comments. The place is over the top. collectively, the valet, the gregarious likable greeters and bartenders are heavenly. The food and cocktails are savory and they'll Surprise and delight with kindness. If you've ever felt unappreciated, go there, Lou (owner?) will save you a lot of therapy dollars. I kind like it.

We made our reservation specifically for Friday to celebrate my father’s birthday. However, we received a call confirming a Saturday reservation days later instead. We explained that this was a mistake as the reservation was never for Saturday since my father’s birthday is Friday. What made the situation disappointing wasn’t just the mix up, but the way it was handled. The woman we spoke with was dismissive and unwilling to acknowledge that an error had occurred. It took what should have been a special night for my father and turned it into a frustrating experience.

A Heartfelt thank you to LuNello for providing the perfect ambiance in the Wine Room for my wife’s birthday celebration on Saturday night. A special thank you to Stephanie and Julianna for helping me select the mouthwatering menu and for your warm welcome upon our arrival! Appetizers include: garlic shrimp in the pan, the crispiest calamari, baby artichokes ready to eat/ no peeling, and the cheese/ meat board. Dinner: Delicious lobster tail scampi, chicken molina, halibut, beef ribs, etc. The desserts were out of this world. My guests reached out to me the next day thanking me for the invite and raving about the gourmet food. It was a special night to remember!

It was a special occasion and every thing from the valet taking my car until he brought it back was absolutely outstanding. Of course the food, ambiance and service was terrific

Birthday dinner for the wife and she loved it. Colossal Crab meat saute was fantastic. For mains, I went with Veal Molino with side of mash and the wife had the Parpadelle Porcini which were both perfection. We closed out the night with the white chocolate bread pudding which was a star as well and i am a bread pudding guy so this was up there with the best i’ve had.

Friends who had been there seven years ago spoke very highly of it. Unfortunately, last week we did not have that same experience. In general, it felt like the servers were doing us a favor. There was some attitude, certainly not responsiveness to things and A Food was OK or a little bit better than OK but that was it. That was our first time there and we will not be going back.

We were a large party with many demanding needs and they rolled with all of them. Thank you Lu Nello!
I have heard so many great reviews about LuNello Restaurant. Honestly we weren't that impressed being this was our first time. We have been told by a few friends the service and wait staff are impeccable and they  cater to you. This was a special birthday dinner. We felt the waiter was just mediocre. We were not catered to. We ordered the shrimp and garlic appetizer which was good but only 4 shrimp, not impressive. The salads were delicious. We both ordered a pasta special. It had  peppercini pepper's in the dish. My boyfriend was smart enough and said he did not want it hot. I just ordered it the way it was described. Every bite I had to take a drink of cold water to wash it down. I should have said something but I didn't. I could not finish much of the dish. A day later I'm still paying for the burning in my esophagus. We had ice cream for dessert it helped cool my throat. I'm sorry to have to write this but we will not be returning.

Lunellos makes even a dinner out feel special. The food is excellent, ranging from exotic dishes like Veal Osso Bucco to simple options like capellini with a fresh tomato sauce and sliced peppers. The service is exceptional.; The hostess who knows your name, busboys keeping glasses filled, and waiters who know the dishes so well you think they prepared them. I celebrated a special event, and the staff at Lunellos made it extra special.

Best restaurant in the area! We got the baked clams, stuffed hot peppers, ravioli to start and they were all 10/10. Me and my fiancee got the pappardelle porcini, bone in shell steak special, and truffle fettuccine special and it was perfection! I had the tiramisu tini for dessert and it was the best. I can't wait to go back!

LuNello’s is like a unicorn. There are many places to enjoy fine, dining and excellent service. However, this place sets the bar at the highest level. Everything about it is first class. From the time you were greeted at the door, you feel like extended family. The finest ingredients are used to prepare a gastronomic extravaganza, the likes of which you will rarely experience. Prepare to experience multiple taste bud orgasms. Each course will leave you eager for the next. The cocktails are spirited. The wine list is expansive. Luis could not have taken better care of us if we were blood relatives. Treat yourself today. Make reservations. God Bless America! God Bless Blue and Gold! Remember Everyone Deployed Everyday!
A must!
