Cafe Luna, San Diego

The atmosphere is quaint, intimate and memorable. Reservations are usually a must as seating is limited. The food and service is exceptional and worth any wait.

This is the most amazing restaurant. The atmosphere, the food and the service is the best around. You'll never want to dine at another italian restaurant again. The owner actually came to see how everything was. What a first class place! Count me in as a life long guest of Cafe Luna.

Menu is great and love the service.

It's a quaint and quiet setting with a formal yet family-owned feel. The meals are large and moderately priced. The location isn't the most eye appealing, but the inside ambiance makes up plenty.

Located in a quiet corner of a small strip mall lies North County's best kept secret, Caf� Luna, home to the finest Italian food in the San Diego area. You know you're truly one of the locals once you discover the place. I had to live in the neighbourhood for over a year before I did. Inside the nondescript stip mall fa�ade you'll find a warm, intimate setting for the perfect romantic dinner with that special someone. The food is always excellent and the service friendly. Be prepared for a long list of daily specials, which your server will have memorized. A truly impressive feat in itself! Ordering your main course will be easy, though, because you can safely pick anything. It will be fabulous. While you are waiting for your food, be sure to try the red dipping sauce that is served with the warm focaccia bread. It is to die for. If the restaurant has a weak point it is the uninspired dessert selection. I particularly dislike Caf� Luna's take on the Italian classic Tiramisu. However, this is a forgivable flaw in an otherwise perfect dining experience. I don't hesitate at all to give the place four and a half stars. So, if you find yourself in San Diego with a little bit of time to spare, Caf� Luna is definitely worth a trip to North County.

great food, service, and dining.

Very nice! Food was superb and som was the wine.

will definitely try again

I loved this restaurant and brought many business colleagues there. However, I had a very bad experience when I brought a good friend there for dinner. The hostess (I later found out she was the owner) walked right past me (not even a greeting) when I entered to greet the couple behind our party -- a group she seemed to know. She completely ignored us and sat the other party at a table, talked for a few minutes or so and finally acknowledged us in a gruff manner. I was completely embarassed and apologized to my guest. When I commented on the fact that we were there and ignored, she basically said that it was my problem and that she had done nothing wrong. To make matters worse, she did this in a loud voice that could be heard by nearby guests. In the hospitality industry I think it is reasonable to expect hospitality. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this restaurant and have begun bringing business associates to other nearby restaurants that offer quality food AND a more positive environment.

This is in a strip mall right across the street from a Carls junior, and a BevMo. So it was a little questionable on bringing a first date here, but once inside, completely different, great food, great service, great time. Thanks
