The food was super great for 2 ppl …

Everything was special at Luna Restaurant. The service was friendly and attentive. The food was superb from the Caprese Salad with heirloom tomatoes and amazing little balsamic pearls to the Shrimp Risotto with mushrooms. My partner had the hand tossed Mushroom Pizza, which he said was outstanding. The star of the show was the Chocolate Hazelnut Souffle. Our waitress, Baylie, was so helpful with the menu choices and had such enthusiasm which was contagious. We will definitely go again.

Food excellent- service excellent, sweet room design .. tough to have a conversation in dining room - bar atmosphere takes over the entire space

Restaurant Review: Italiano If you’re looking for an unforgettable dining experience, Italiano is the place to go. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the stage for what turned out to be an exceptional evening. The food was nothing short of amazing—each dish was crafted with care and attention to detail, bursting with authentic flavors that transported us straight to Italy. Whether it was the perfectly cooked pasta, the rich and savory sauces, or the indulgent desserts, every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. The service was equally impressive. Our server was attentive and friendly, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and genuine warmth. But what truly set this experience apart was the personal touch from the General Manager, Michael Kosov. He came to our table multiple times throughout the evening, making us feel like honored guests. His hospitality and charisma elevated the entire experience, leaving a lasting impression. If you’re in the mood for extraordinary food paired with top-notch service, Italiano is a must-visit. We’ll definitely be back!

Most adorable server we've had at a restaurant in a long time. He was very attentive and had a wonderful smile. He made good recommendations when asked. Decor is neutral tones. Love that the tables aren't on-top of each other. Lends to having table-only conversations. Food, while unique offerings, was very rich. We ordered the broccolini to thin/healthy the meal out, but it was so covered in toppings that it was hard to identify. That was the only item we didn't end up eating. The calamari were so light and crispy. Not at all chewy. They were perfectly cooked. Our server stated that the idea was to eat family style so everyone gets a taste, but it's certainly not a must. That said, everyone was interested to taste each item...including the final course, a pistachio sundae. Not cheap, but nothing in Scottsdale is.
