What People Are Saying About Caffe Luna
The Editor

Citysearch
In Short – Caffe Luna could be an ultra-trendy trattoria, but the atmosphere is too comfortable and the service too sincere. Arched doorways, picture windows and high ceilings, however, provide plenty of sophistication. Warm Mediterranean colors, wood floors and the backdrop of conversation feel instantly intimate. A simple Italian menu prepared well includes a paper-thin tuna carpaccio seasoned with zingy citrus and salty capers. The seafood pescatore is redolent with garlic and light spices.

OMGosh!! The food was excellent, and also had wedding
by lovebell1
Well, first off, I had my wedding and reception at Cafe Luna, and the service, food, and staff was excellent. The price is ver. reasonable to have a wedding and/or reception at Cafe Luna and the atmosphere of Cafe Luna is wonderful. The dark, rich hardwood floors are beautiful and the details of the rooms are beautiful. Ryan and the other staff there were very nice and planned my event without a hitch. A few weeks after the wedding Cafe Luna sent us a 50.00 certificate so we could come back and enjoy a dinner. The food was excellent, the server was very nice. I got the Fiochee, four cheese stuffed pasta with pear sauté, and it was the best pasta I ever ate. It was rich, creamy and very tasteful!!!
- Pros: in downtown raliegh, nice staff, good food
- Cons: a little crowded seating

Hosted my wedding
by anotherbride
I can't say enough good things about this place. Ryan is the events coordinator there, she was wonderful. She answered ALL of my questions via email and phone up until my big day. She was very flexible in accommodating anything I wanted.
On the day of my wedding, the staff set up everything. All I had to do what drop my decorations off a couple of days before with directions. They also served the food, and I'm still hearing about how good everything was from my guests.
The staff was so pleasant and above par. They cleared everyones' tables and offered refills. They cut our cake, and did most of the clean up (the only reason it wasn't all of the cleanup is because the rest was stuff we had to take home). I was so pleased.
Brides, if you want a smooth day to sit back and enjoy your big day, Caffe Luna is for you!
- Pros: Helpful, accommodating staff

Bad Experience
by JessHerr
My colleague and I went for lunch today and experienced good service, but bad food. We both ordered the lasagne, which was made with poor quality meat, was soggy, and left us feeling ill. The bread that was brought out before the meal had to be sent back because it not only tasted stale, but had mold on it. This I could excuse, because I buy that type of bread at times, and it has no preservatives, so it goes bad quickly. However, when I mentioned this discreetly to the waitress, she said "where?", and I had to show her. Not someplace I would visit again.
- Pros: Great Location
- Cons: Poor Quality Food
