I went in a large group so probably not a typical experience. Overall, I liked it.

This is our family’s preferred Italian restaurant in Merced. Always great food. The Old Fashioneds that my wife and I drank were pretty watered down, which was unusual here, but we had a great time and the kids loved their food as well.

Randomly decided to eat here for the first time and it ended up being an amazing experience! The shark attack mocktail was so adorable and fun. The portion sizes were decent for the price and all the dishes were beautiful and flavorful. I have tried calamari from multiple places and this place has made the best I have ever tried. We will be coming more often and I highly recommend to at least try it out once.

In town for ki ki Raina fete… food was pretty good. Meatballs were excellent in my opinion, sauce had a great spice to it. We had salads… the wife had a wedge and i had the caprese. Awesome salads. I had the salmon and pesto and the wife had the Big Tony with shrimp. Salmon was a bit overcooked but flavorful, broccli was undercooked and too young (yellow) and crunchy. The wife enjoyed the shrimp and pasta.

We have been patrons of Bella Luna for years but service has gone downhill fast and after interaction with the rude owner and slower than molasses service we will not be returning ever again. We were treated horribly by the owner. He needs to learn that customers are your bread and butter and to cut them off and not listen and yell “no no no” at them as they are trying to speak is completely disrespectful. I don’t care what kind of night you are having and how much you are trying to “do your best” you don’t treat customers like that. All the staff looked very angry so clearly a busy night and also a birthday party in back area. If you can’t serve all your customers in the dining room in a timely manner then you shouldn’t book a giant party. We had 2 1/2 hours allotted for dinner which should have been plenty. We had to start asking where dinners were as it approached 7. We ordered shortly after 5. Last meal arrived at 7:10 and we had shoe tickets for 7:30. We had to request owner come to table only to learn that he was absolutely rude as hell. Wouldn’t listen to the two women who were trying to explain what had happened. His behavior was unacceptable. One of the men at the table literally had to raise voice to cut off the owner so we could be allowed to finish our sentence. Now wonder all the staff was walking around looking so angry. His answer was to remove a small amount of the bill. Worst service of my life ever. Even if he removed the entire bill I still would have never stepped foot in there again!! Plenty of other restaurants in Merced
