Eight of us gathered for dinner at Moonlight Cafe last evening and every one agreed that their meal was exceptional! Portions were generous, servers were very accommodating, and the atmosphere was cozy. The best Italian food around!

They have gluten free pasta and can be used with any of their regular pasta dishes and except the fried ones like chicken parmesan

$274 for two 1/2 pans of pasta!! Pasta!!! This is outrageous!!!!! You would think there were pure truffles in that pasta for that price. That's highway robbery.

My company hired Moonlight Cafe for our company christmas luncheon. We had about 20 people attend. The Chicken Afumicato was the favorite, and I hear it's a favorite in the restaurant too for those who dine in. The catering was on time, polite, helpful and everything came organized, hot, ready to serve. Would definitely recommend for your business events.

I've been driving past this place for years, and my wife finally got me to go inside and have lunch. We have gotten takeout previously, and I have a hearty respect for their menu given how diverse it is considering their small kitchen. There's seating for only 14-16 people max, but that suits their size and style and business model. Staff were friendly and prompt. We got their sandwiches and wraps. My wife got the turkey sandwich with roasted red peppers and balsamic, and she thought it was divine. They give a hearty amount of fries with their lunch specials, and we have enough for leftovers. The only reason they did not get 4 stars is that I am very picky when it comes to Italian food, and it is very rare for an Italian restaurant to get 5 stars from me.

Visited last week. I believe there was only one server working and the restaurant was packed, but she did an incredible job! The arancini was a little cold in the center and the bruschetta wasn't my favorite, but everything else was great. While the bruschetta wasn't my favorite, it was exactly was it was described on the menu. I was skeptical ordering it because it's not what I'm used to and what I prefer, but it was not bad by any means. The bolognese and sausage manicotti special were both incredible. The started salad with the house dressing were fresh and delicious. The creme brûlée and the other fail special dessert we ordered were also great. Everything came out very timely, especially with how busy it was. Everyone was friendly and it had a great atmosphere.

I don't write reviews very often but I must say Moonlight Cafe reviews and word of mouth do not align with my past 3 experiences. This past summer I went with a large group for a birthday celebration and ordered eggplant parm. It was not anywhere as good as the same at Olive Garden. Thinking that was an anomaly i got takeout Lasagna because THAT is an Italian dish you can't ruin . Turns out you can make that a lackluster dish too...sauce blah,cheese tasteless and pasta is overcooked ronzoni,but it wasnt as bad as the eggplant. Tonight had veal with cheese on a huge mass of tasteless pasta. The "sauce" taste like the water from the pasta,the veal was rubber and once again cheese was tasteless. I told the waitress how didsapointing the food was and a candid review of why. she said she would tell the chef. End of conversation. 3 strikes and YOU ARE OUT. Its not me it is the restaurant....I dont care what others say,the food here is not good and it certainly isnt inexpensive. There is no generosity of portion unless you are talking about the mass of pasta under the entrée. Rolls,butter,salad very small ,BUT the balsamic dressing is delicious. Will never go back here.

This was my boyfriend and I first time dinning here and I would have to say, this place is amazing. Our servers name was Crystal. She was taking togo orders, answering phone calls, bussing her own tables, taking orders and I still feel like we had gotten great service. We got the crab dip appetizer. Beat crab dip I’ve ever had. We both also had the meatball lasagna with a side salad. Personally think that salads could have more to then like onions, egg, or croutons. Will definitely be coming back tho! Thanks for a great dinning experience Crystal!
