Service was slow, we could hear everyone's conversation (needs a better sound proofing system), lighting was too bright in the first room for a dinner setting, the bread served with olive oil was cold, one entree was also cold and the waiter highly recommended the tiramisu dessert, which was excessively watery and distasteful. We had very high expectations for this restaurant and left feeling underwhelmed. Will not be returning or recommending this restaurant to anyone.

This place was amazing. The ambiance was fabulous and I just loved the attention to detail from the staff. I ordered pasta and it was delicious. The food was fresh and served piping hot. I enjoyed watching the couple next to me savor every dish. Purchased a bottle of Moscato and it did not disappoint. I have placed this place in my downtown Raleigh rotation. Next time I think I will make an earlier reservation to give myself more time to relax and enjoy.Great place for a first date or fate night. Next time I'll take photos!

First of all the service was very good. We were greeted upon entry with a friendly smile then promptly seated and the server was very attentive. We had salads and they were very good and well proportioned. Two of the 4 of us ordered the Mahi and it was incredibly overcooked. We are fairly new to the area and it a place that's been on our list to try. Overall it was a good experience but the food was definitely a disappointment.

Surprised this restaurant doesn't have 5 stars! It's an absolute gem - the inside is so cozy, staff is amazing, and the food is to die for. Not to mention the prices are insanely low for what you get! The seafood tortellini here is one of my favorite Italian dishes to get anywhere.

This is one of my absolute favorite Italian spots in the triangle. The food is always authentic, delicious, and incredibly reasonably priced. The fiocchi is one of the best dishes on their menu, every time I switch it up I end up regretting it! Can’t recommend it enough.Vegetarian options: Most of the pastas are vegetarian! They have a decently-sized vegetarian selection compared to other restaurants in the area.

I went to this place for a wedding. The food was good and the cream puffs were next level. Check them out, just loosen your belt before you get there.

Caffe Luna is one of our favorite restaurants in downtown Raleigh. My husband had linguine pescatore. It was excellent - just the right amount of thin tomato sauce, plenty of seafood and a good balance of pasta. I had the seafood ravioli with decadent tomato cream sauce. It would be nice to have warm crusty bread rather than the cold loaf style they serve. Calamari was also well-portioned and tender. The ambiance is the best feature of the classic downtown corner restaurant with carved wood, hardwood floors and tall windows looking out into the street.

Caffe Luna is one of our go to spots in Raleigh. It's great for dinner after a concert or event. The food is fresh and there are a lot of great menu options. Prices are very reasonable. It's a neighborhood gem!

Amazing mid-price place for a night out in Raleigh! The scene is cute and eclectic and the service is excellent. The waitress kept our water refilled and was very attentive. The food was absolutely phenomenal and I would highly recommend for any occasion!
