We love Luna Stella - such an underrated gem right in the heart of Maplewood! Cute outdoor patio/garden area in the back with plenty of seating, and the food is always excellent, as is the service. We've never had a bad meal here and will continue going back, especially when the weather is nice and we're looking for an outdoor dining spot!

Went here just last night with a group but neglected to take pics. I've been here before but just bar area for drinks (which was good). Tonight was pretty busy but the staff was attentive and kind. I ordered the crispy rock shrimp and the Barbie drink special which was just a pomegranate cosmo. Both were very good. The drink could have been a bit more full to the rim for $15, but ok. The decor is rustic and it is larger inside than I thought. There is an outdoor eating area as well. It's a bit expensive but I'd go here again. Nice spot for an intimate date night or family/group event.

Delicious chicken Milanese, dressed with a caper vinaigrette and topped with a generous helping of arugula salad. Reasonably priced wines and good service in an airy dining room. Nice date night destination.

A five star meal. Outstanding homemade pastas, delicious innovative salads, generous portions and Jason provided excellent, attentive service.

I hardly EVER give 5 stars, but when I come across that rare gem, I'm more than happy to oblige. Let's talk Ambiance...the inside was beautiful, open, clean. The staff was amazing. One of the servers dropped a bottle of sparkling water we ordered all over but they were quick to clean it up, move our table, and covered the new bottle on them. Now. Let's get to the fun part...Appetizer: Yellowfin Tuna tartar . Hands down the best I've ever had! I'm somewhat of a guacamole snob and it was absolutely delicious. The tuna was high grade quality tuna that just melted in your mouth and the homemade chips...well you could literally eat them by themselves. Main: Pan seared Bronzino with vegetables and an additional side of spinach. Yet again, the bronzini was the best I've ever had. The skin was perfectly seared and crispy. And the sauce that they drizzled on the side...Oh to the Em Geeee! Packed with flavor. For context...I'm Latina and I love my food flavorful and they absolutely managed to accomplish that with out it being overbearing. Mushroom Tortellini my boyfriend ordered this and completely clean the plate. Lol. He said it was delicious and the sauce was the right consistency. Desert: I forgot the name, but there is a pic below and my boyfriend rated it a . I'm not much for the consistency of the desert, but he did manage to convince me to taste it and it was pretty dang good. Lol. He absolutely loved it. It wasn't overly sweet with a delicious crumble. I'm honestly quite surprised that a place like this wasn't as packed as one would expect on a Saturday evening. I'm ecstatic we stumbled across this place (well the boyfriend suggested it as we walked past) and I will definitely be returning.
Delicious fresh ingredients which we’re prepared to perfection and the service was awesome too! Plenty of space inside of the restaurant and they do offer outside dining too! We parked nearby and no problem with our reservations. Drinks, desserts and atmosphere all were very good. I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or to enjoy a delicious meal. My daughter and son-in-law wanted me to taste the food since they went there to celebrate their anniversary. Looking forward to going back again.

Gave 2 stars because I was very disappointed from the last visit, although the past two visits were very pleasant and 4 stars.We sat at the bar last night and noticed some staffs were not acting professionally, not greeting new customers, not paying attention to them, instead just goofing around with staffs and looked being drunk.The best service customers getting was from the busboy who noticed customers first, greeted them and kept working hard for them. It was probably due to Memorial weekend and nobody wanted to work or no manager's existence.

Really nice place, atmosphere is great. The staff is very lovely, Jason was our server; he was super helpful answered all our questions from wine to food allergy adjustments. We both had the Anaesthesia cocktail, and were very impressed. My boyfriend loved his steak!

Short ribs were strange. Served sliced and seemed like the wrong cut of meat or something. Risotto (with scallops) was just soggy wite rice. Lobster ravioli was not even very good for Lobster ravioli, which is generally just ok. The kids pasta was the best thing on the table.
