Bella Luna

Let me just start off by saying that this place has the best pizza in the area. I have been to Italy and it’s as close as you can get. The staff is very friendly and the food is always amazing. I had them host my parents 40^th wedding anniversary party and they did an amazing job.

Friendly staff! Clean inside and food is delicious! Never a wait either. Very authentic and good atmosphere. The prices are very reasonable for the portions you get!

Excellent, authentic pizza– unlike any I’ve had since I visited Italy. The dining room is lovely. I can see it being a nice place for a romantic meal. We sat at the bar, which was very well decorated but still comfortable, The bartender was friendly and attentive. This was a pleasant surprise.

Nice spot. Went for the first time tonight. Kids enjoyed watching the chef toss the pizza. Recommend the broccoli rabe and sausage pizza. Arugula salad with shaved Parmesan was yummie too. We’ll go back for sure.

I posted the same review on their FB page, but this place is so good, I wanted to get the word out every way possible.
I’ve been to Bella Luna for dinner and had a phenomenal meal a few months ago. Knowing the chefs were great and the food was tasty, I booked and recently had my rehearsal dinner at Bella Luna Ristorante. The food, service, quality, and atmosphere was beyond perfect! The staff worked hard to keep the food hot and continuous; we were blown away by the exceptional time all of our guests had there. We had several vegans and the chefs were truly accommodating. The wait staff conversed with everyone at the event and made everyone felt welcomed. Alex and Luigi are amazing people willing to cook and serve their hearts out. We couldn’t have picked a better spot and would recommend Bella Luna for everything from a nice date out, to having a private event there. Either way, you are in for great food, great staff, and great times. Thanks again for making our night perfect, and bringing our two families together for their first meal.

Wow this was good fresh Italian. The best calamari I’ve ever had… Great prices… That brick pizza oven puts out amazing light as air pizza’s…and to the comment about her sauce being watery you must not be Italian because marinara is suppose to be thin …

My husband and I had our wedding dinner there last week. The food, service, and owners were great! Luigi and Alex were very attentive to every detail. The food was delicious. I had the best shrimp scampi I have ever eaten. The calamari and clams in wine sauce were superb — very fresh! The pasta was cooked perfectly with delicious sauce. Everything that we ordered was prepared beautifully and was outstanding. The lemon cello desert was exceptional (I could have eaten one more, but restrained myself!). Will be going back very soon.

My wife and I had another wonderful meal there this evening. She started with the caprese salad. The tomatoes were outstanding. Especially considering it is March! I think they have a time machine in the back and get the tomatoes from the summer.
For an entrée she had the Penne with Broccoli Raab and Sausage. I am glad she shared. I will be getting this for myself next time.
I had Veal Parmesan which was outstanding. I really love the red sauce and meatballs here and usually try to get something that will have them. The meatballs spectacular. I dream about them. Seriously!
The meal was finished with a wonderful lemoncello cake.
This place is a hidden gem on Union. The staff is attentive and friendly. I promise you will enjoy your meal.

I had been craving Italian for some time and decided on this place for date night. The décor was nice very elegant Italian. We came on a Friday around 9pm and the place was pretty empty to say the least. There was about 4 parties and one of them seemed to be friends with the owners. We stayed either way and got their fried mozzarella as an appetizer. It was great I just wish it brought more. For the entrée we got chicken parm. It was tasty the best was the chicken. That was good. The pasta was just ok. The marinara sauce was watery. It didn’t seem like it was homemade. There wasn’t much of a variety on the menu. All in all I had an ok experience. I wouldn’t go out of my way to come back. Also their name changed to Bella Luna.

Very good!!! Appetizers were very authentic, bread was delicious, and our meals were perfect portions. Cute little place!

Ordered the margarita pizza, cheese raviolis, and salmon with capers. Salmon wasn’t fresh, pizza was cold, and cheese raviolis were bland.

Amazing food, fast, friendly service. First stopped here in fall of 2013, after returning from a trip to Italy. Pizza and pasta are just as amazing as in Italy. I highly recommend this place! I’m on the road about 210 nights a year, and it’s frequently hard to find quality food. Pizza pazza is amazing!

Did you ever eat something that tasted weird but not bad? I ordered the pizza with pepperoni and eggplant and the pepperoni and eggplant didn’t taste like pepperoni or eggplant– just greasy and bland. Once I took the toppings off, ask them to put it in the oven a bit more, I enjoyed the sauce and crust. I ate the whole thing because I was starving. The cheese also was confusingly void of flavor. I was also the only one in there and I got to overhear one of the employees explain in a rather detailed way how he dislocated his arm a few times. Just a strange experience but not all out bad.

My God, I thought my Italian grandmother had come back to life and was working in the kitchen. This place is so good when it comes to Italian food. Give it a try you won’t be disappointed. Mangia. mangia …

Great place! We had a rehersal dinner for 34 people there and the owner Alex treated us like royalty. They have amazing thin crust pizza, wonderful tender Mussels marinara and great pasta dishes. Alex is Italian and this place is a gem.

Great meal! Stopped off in Wilmington for a fix of good Italian before heading back to the South.
Gnocchi Sorrento was outstanding, as was the Broccoli Rabe w/​White Beans. Beans were perfectly cooked: creamy and garlicky.

With all these positive reviews, wonder why my experience was so bad. Got takeout pizza. Pizza was tasteless, not good at all. Maybe I got the wrong thing, but pizza is in their name, so…
Not impressed.

This little authentic Italian gem is so unassuming amongst the clutter that’s around. It’s easy to pass it up (as I have for over 6 months), but I stopped in for the first time on 6÷10÷13 and I can’t stop telling my friends about it. Even had to post this review (my first) because I was that impressed.
If excellent Italian food is what you crave look no further, check out the food here! The Pizzas and Pasta dishes are just straight up fantastic!

Excellent pizza from an original Italian brick oven. They have great homemade broccoli rabe. The owners are great and they also have an Italian food stand in Booths Corner!
