Came in on a Sunday night and had an amazing dinner with my wife. We first went on the cave tour and wine tasting, it was like nothing I had ever seen and I would highly recommend checking it out. The tour and tasting lasted for about an hour, we were seated promptly in a beautiful dining room with the perfect mood. Our server had a great personality and was able to help us pick out a great bottle of wine without us even having to look at the list. We had mussels for our appetizer, which were the best mussels I have ever had. As for dinner, my wife had the Chicken Marsala which was the perfect size. Her meal came with vegetables and a side of pasta, I could not believe the amount of food she received for the extremely reasonable price. I had their special dish that night, the Lobster Ravioli, and all I can say is wow! It was like nothing I had ever tasted, it had the perfect balance of cream and pesto, along with not only lobster, but scallops and shrimp! We got full very fast, and needed two boxes. Just when we thought that we couldn’t be more impressed, we saw the desert menu, I couldn’t help but order some Tiramisu to-go. Overall, it was one of the best Italian dining experiences that I have ever had. I would give it 6 stars, if I was able to! Anyone looking for great food and a great atmosphere should check it out!

My husband and I are new to the area and wanted to check out some places downtown. We ended up going into this restaurant just randomly. Our waitress was not all that welcoming to begin with. I was curious about the restaurant and the the brewery next door and had asked a few questions. The two female employees that were working up front seemed annoyed and snotty. The food is pretty expensive but it is delicious, I will give them that. I would just recommend not ordering the ravioli if you go there hungry. It is a very small portion(with a heaping amount of sauce). The Alfredo was really good and it was a decent sized portion.

We’ve eaten here before and thought it was ok. This experience was not to our expectations. We took the Cave Wine Tasting Tour which we were served 3 wine samples in the cave and given a plate of damp antipasto on a bar that was wet from the cave dripping on it. After the tour we were told we could sample more wine in the wine shop next door. The room was cramped and extremely hot as there were 25 people in our group. We had to wait in line as those ahead of us tried wine with one person helping them; we decided not to continue. This was the strangest wine tasting I’ve ever been to and was not worth the cost. We then ate dinner and waited 10-15 minutes for our server to greet us. The server was nice enough but was not attentive. The food was some of the worst Italian I’ve ever had. I have had better food at other major Italian chains I will not mention. The pasta dishes that were ordered were drowned in so much sauce that it made the pasta soggy. For what you are charging you need to step it up a bit as the expectations get higher. Sorry we won’t be back.

This food was terrible and a rip off. I have eaten there on two occasions and they were both bad. I have many friends that have eaten there and have also voiced their disgust (some whom are Italian). I ordered the veal Parmesan. To start, it had no flavor. The veal tasted like it was a spongy, processed, and overall just flavorless. My girlfriend got the chicken Alfredo. Once again flavorless. The sauce was watery as well. Again, I went there twice. I tried it again with the thoughts that maybe the first time was a bad night for them. The price is not worth the sub par food you receive.

The service atmosphere was authentic, spacious, and clean. The service was excruciatingly slow however, with the servers not seeming to care that my wife and I had to wait 25 minutes between our appetizer and our entrees. The final straw was the tepid, watery, and obviously pre-packaged pasta entrees we were served. I would fully expect much better cuisine at Bucca’s, or at The Olive Garden for that matter. Will not be coming back.

The food here was great. Had reservations on Valentines Day. Our server was very disappointing. Took our first drink order and then realized when dropping them off that she had forgot to ask. Not too big of a deal but it through off the entire flow of the meal. Table next to us got out bread before we did although we were there first and ordered first. Food was very authentic in my eyes, great use of seasoning and herbs and very even tastes. The soup was near perfection and the main course penne and italian sausage was delicious. The manicotti had a bit too much spinach for personal taste. The dessert was good but before I could even order my own, she left. I was literally cut off mid sentence and she just left. It worked out as my girlfriend and i just split it. The atmosphere was very good as well.

Had s great time for the cave tour and wine sample. The tour guide was very energetic, made it fun. The appetizer plate was okay nothing fancy, we had three different wines to sample. Made it over to the wine shop after and found a few wines we liked.

Went to Luna Rossa today for lunch. Wanted something a little off the menu and they were incredibly accommodating. The sauce was perfect, the wine paring was also on point. I had a bottle of Rodney Strong Merlot. I couldn’t recommend a better place to go eat, whether for dinner or lunch. I will definitely be coming back.
