Bella Luna Ristorante

Do not sleep on this place. Really cozy comfortable atmosphere. It’s a hidden gem of you’re not passing attention you miss it. The service was great, we did not want for anything for any significant amount of time. Food was awesome. My guy had his favorite chicken Parmesan and I had the chicken piccata, the best I’ve had. We also had the house Chianti which was really good as well. Great dining experience. Will definitely be back soon.

everything started just fine. The atmosphere was wonderful the hostess at the moment we were seated promptly. The fun stopped there. I ended up getting a chicken butter dish unfortunately it was not very good. It was also very tough. I was more than happy to send it back and get something else and even pay for it. However, we ended up waiting over 20 minutes in our server it’s still not returned. With the eggplant we have an allergy to nuts and started to have a reaction to the breading when we asked if there were nuts in it we did not find out until we left or at least they stated there were no nuts, but someone with an allergy knows when something is wrong. this was not acknowledged.. Finally, we decided since we were not getting any service. It was time to leave and asked for the check. Now in a normal restaurant if you have a bad experience, you’re the minimum offered a discount or comped or something to acknowledge that you had a bad experience. All we were met with was upside down friends and I’m sorry . We paid the bill and left promptly for another restaurant nearby with much better service. If you care about getting good service and you wanna work with a company that will treat you with respect this is not the place .

We had a lovely dinner at the restaurant. The atmosphere was very welcoming, and the service was absolutely amazing. The cocktails were truly some of the best I have ever had. And the food? It was beyond amazing, leaving us speechless. From the appetizers to the desserts, every dish was a masterpiece. The flavors were bursting, and presentation was impeccable. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that left us wanting more. Can't wait to go back and try more of their delicious offerings!

Dined in on a Monday evening. Wasn't very busy, but was still very noisy. They really need sound proofing. Service was slow, and food was meh. Tomatoes in caprese salad were hard and unripe. Stuffed mushrooms were tiny, dry and shriveled up. My Chicken Marsala was lukewarm and not very tasty. Sauce was sweet, goopy, and tasted weird. Mushrooms tasted like they were canned. Breading stuff on the cutlet was gummy. We had to ask for an order of bread for the table. I never got a chance to order a 2nd glass of wine because the server never came to check on us after our meals arrived. The lasagna was lukewarm and not much flavor. They were cleaning up around us before we finished our dinner at 8pm. Felt like we got the bums-rush. Not likely to try again.

My family and I came during lunch and Tony our server was excellent and provided excellent service throughout our time. Sourdough bread was delicious. The Baked Ziti and Chicken Parmigiana was delicious. The sauce tasted homemade and was excellent. The chicken was cooked close to perfection. My entire family enjoyed it and we'll be back. The atmosphere was a throwback to old school Italian restaurants.

GREAT FOOD AND AMAZING service! We had a celebration with a total of 17 people. The servers were hands down the best. Went out of their way to make our visit a great experience. Thank you all for your patience and being so accommodating with us .

Great little neighborhood restaurant with a great menu. The staff was very welcoming as we entered. My wife developed a bit of car sickness on the way over and they were very empathetic. I've been a veal fan for 40 years. The veal vino Blanco was the best veal dish I've ever had. Don't let the white onions dissuade you. They made the dish. Bella Luna will be the first stop next time we're in town. Great Job Bella Luna!

This looked nice from the outside, and the inside was very inviting, so we thought we'd take a chance since we were driving by and wanted to get some dinner. Our meals were delicious and authentic, we're glad we tried it. My only critique is that I must have been really hungry. I was full, but could have eaten a little more. Maybe that's their plan so we would order dessert! It would have been enough on most days...

This place came outta nowhere. It's in a corner of an unassuming strip mall near Litchfield Park. You'd drive right by it and never take a second look. But, get beyond the pinky-tan outer wall and it opens up to a beautiful, romantic patio with high walls. The inside is typical Italian restaurant, but I think the patio is the best. Good Italian food is always elusive. It's not easy to cook perfect pasta, to have homemade dressings, and to concoct a great marinara. But these are the hallmarks of a good Italian restaurant. It's not about "bottomless bread sticks." That's for pedantic gluttons. No, subtlety is the key here and Bella Luna is excellent. Start with crusty, rustic, housemade bread. It is top notch, and served with plain butter, as it should. The entrees here are winners, and all the classics are offered. In particular we loved the chicken picatta and the chicken Parmesan. Both were pounded ultra thin and were tender and flavorful, but subtle. The stars were the sauces. The picatta strikes a great balance with its buttery, capery, lemony bite, but it doesn't scream LEMONS! It's just right. The parm is equally good, with a beautiful breading on the chicken and a saucy, sharp marinara. They add Romano cheese which can be strong so I opt for mozzarella only, but it's your call. The pastas are all perfectly cooked. The marinara is a beautiful, tomato-rich but light sauce. Excellent. Salads are particularly good owing to Bella's house made dressings. The ranch is phenomenal, and the creamy Italian is a garlicky wonder. Just superb. My favorite part might be the bread pudding for dessert. Might be the best I've had; certainly in Arizona. The Tiramisu is particularly good as well. All Told, this is a great place for a quiet date on a spring evening. Excellent food that won't disappoint and will satisfy any craving for really good Italian. The service can be spotty, especially during snowbird season and weekends. But it's usually worth it once the food arrives. Give it a spin. And eat outside on the patios. Bellísimo!

If you aren't a regular, the owner won't give you much attention. If you live nearby and are a regular, you're golden. Our server was a charm, took real good care of my mom and myself. The ambiance was nice, the food was average. The veal was tough. Next time we're in the area, we'll find a different place, one that we feel welcomed at. Mrs. B was totally indifferent to having new customers become regulars. Michael

Food takes forever and portions was not up to price. The ambience is nice and so is the atmosphere, but not recommended for larger party sizes. The food could also use work, the fettuccine Alfredo tastes almost like milk.

Visiting Goodyear AZ. Really fantastic place very cozy. Had Eggplant Parmigiana my favorite dish. My husband had lasagna which is really rich & delish also.

Ask to say hello to Mrs B (Owner) When I want Italian I go to Bella Luna Good atmosphere and great food You can share a dish there is so much! Cesar Salad, shared a dish and a glass of wine! That is a good evening at Bella Luna

Good food, wait staff that actually cares and I have met the owner. This kind of relationship is important to me. Go here fairly often,

Bella Luna was okay. The service was lovely, but I found the Caesar Salad not bad. The pancetta and peas fettuccine Alfredo did not have enough pancetta and it was not rendered. The star of the show was dessert. I loved the warm and delicious Italian Bread pudding a La mode. For your birthday, they give you a generous slice of tiramisu!!!

Everything about the evening was excellent. The ambiance, the service, and especially the food. All 4 of us loved what we ordered. My friend actually said her lasagna was the best she has ever had. I could also recommend the eggplant parmigiana, and the shrimp dish. Our server was really great. I can also say the prices are very reasonable in this cute family owned restaurant.

Heard some good things about them but recently learned they are on PublicSquare. No thanks.

This was our first time here and we loved it! The calamari was very flavorful and crispy. The kids enjoyed their plate and the kids meals come with gelato. We also had a bottle of wine with our dinner and it paired nicely with our dishes. Our sever was great and answered all of our questions. We will be visiting again!

Bella Luna is one our favorite restaurants . The food is delicious and the service is great. One of the welcoming touches is that the owner is always there to greet you.

I been here twice. I had the lasagna and chicken piccata. Both were very good. The chicken piccata was my favorite. Our waiter was nice. I plan to be a regular here.

My husband and I dine all over the US and Canada and both agree that the food and service at Bella Luna Italian Restaurant in Goodyear, Arizona is some of the best we have ever eaten! We spoke to the owner and Executive Chef who told us this family owned business has been around for 26 years and there is no question why they have been so successful. We enjoyed the Lentil soup, Caesar salad, Chicken Marsala, (my personal favorite), Chicken Genovese, both served with Angel Hair pasta and the house marinara that was completely delicious. To end our delicious Italian tour we shared the Italian Bread Pudding with vanilla bean gelato. Don't miss this lovely, upscale Italian gem, you won't be disappointed!

Lovely ambiance... impressive menu .. veal parmigiana, a rarity these days... good service and reasonable prices, tasty appetizers and desserts to die for. A established family restaurant/ a hidden gem in today Goodyear's "foodie" explosion.

The service is excellent. Now let's talk about the food and drinks, deliciousness. The overall experience and environment is absolutely wonderful. I recommend this restaurant if you love Italiano food.

This is a great little place that's been there for 25 years! I had lasagna, which was amazing (just a little too salty for me), and she had the salmon and risotto, which was also excellent. Our server, Tawny, was friendly and professional. Fantastic bread, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Highly recommended if you're in Goodyear for dinner.

I got the farfalle alla vodka for pickup. As well as the bread pudding. The farfalle alla vodka was the worst thing I've ever eaten. I don't think there was any spices added very bland. The bread pudding was good. I'm just so sad because I was so hungry and didn't want to cook tonight. For this to be expensive and not even get silverware or napkins as well. Won't be back.

Food had no flavor and burnt chicken and the service was bad too they took 2 hours to make the food and it was just one 2 plates of pasta the energy here is just quiet overall don't spend your money here

We were looking for a cozy place ro celebrate our wedding anniversary, we are fairly new to the area and love pasta. We made a reservation but they didn't have a table for us at the reservation time so we waited...we got seated in the corner of the restaurant and it was very warm. Service s very slow, we waited for a table who was seated after us (same waiter) to place their order and get their drinks before we ordered, it took a bit to fet a glass if wine and a beer. We ordered an appetizer that was not very good and proceeded to wait a long time for our entree and the waiter forgot about our salad. Many tables were served before the waiter came and apologized fir the wait and that we were next. Food was -"fine" but when you are already irritated it is hard to enjoy. We will jot be back anytime soon. Disappointing experience for a special occasion

Family owned business with great ambiance and fast service. We stopped by for dinner early Saturday night. Managed to get a table for 2 inside to avoid the cold. Outdoor seating do have heat lamps. But inside is better. Our server was quick to suggest some items off the menu, which is always nice. I love the way the other is walking the dinning room greeting the regulars. The menu is comprised mainly of Sicilian dishes because of the family heritage. I'll be honest it's not all authentic. There's lots of American Italian here. But that's okay. If you've never been to any part of Italy you would never know the difference because it's all tasty. The owner was gracious enough to stop by our table. We informed her of the 2 week vacation we just spent in Italy. She related and offered us tiramisu which was amazing. A little on the chocolate side rather than coffee but that's alright too. Thank you for a lovely dinner.

I don't know if I would come back here, we went for a big party where it was paid to reserve the outside patio and they knew well in advance our party size and the menu was pre-selected and etc. The weight staff really didn't seem to know what was going on and they kept forgetting about our table so we were the only table that was not getting any of the food. The food itself was good, but the service was really not great at all not even good.

Family owned since 1997. Great food. Service also. A good experience and reminds me of a New York or Boston place. Recommend

Ambiance awesome service excellent appetizer where great drinks good my steak way over done only ate half I don't send back Should have been right first time for $ 42.00

Food and service was impeccable! The ambiance was amazing and they played Frank Sinatra, Andrea Bocelli and the Godfather theme! I recommend this hidden Italian place.

It had been awhile since we had dinner at Bella Luna. It was always good, but this recent visit, it was simply amazing! Best eggplant Parmesan I've had in AZ yet. Others at our table raved about their meals as well- was very happy to have great Italian food on the west side. Will definitely go back sooner!

Our friends frequent Bella Luna and suggested that four of us have dinner. We had reservations and were seated promptly in a comfortable table. It was Sunday night and the service was prompt and our server Jose was friendly and attentive. A complementary order of warm crusty bread was immediately delivered. We ordered the Spicy Shrimp and Scallops which is served proscuitto, kale, chili oil and a white wine sauce over a creamy risotto. It was an excellent choice. The Fruitti Di Mare had an abundance of shell fish clams, shrimp, scallops, mussels and linguini in a herbed tomato sauce. Bella Luna is a great family owned and operated restaurant providing wonderful Italian food. We have added Bella Luna to our return list.

The reception & feel of the restaurant was beautiful warm & decorated for Valentine's Day with flowers , balloons. So the restaurant food was very fresh , good flavor but our service was so poor , odd . It started with very short abrupt can I get you drinks or appetizers? we asked for drink , wine /beer menu or list . which he said they didn't have. he stated we have very few wine, beer options? Then he told some poor joke about "president day " celebrating trump? disappeared . I asked a couple questions about menu white fish , he sounded annoyed , defensive (I love chicken piccata but there was another version of it with added veggies which interested me ). I decided on white wine he said house white it is . my husband asked about beer ,one choice was offered with comment being Italian. . our drinks ran out before our dinner came & water ran out he was not aware he just wasn't around reorder or request more . someone else served our food no one check back . unfortunately the scallops were cold/ frozen. I was literally waving, raising my hand trying flag him/someone down (3 times) before he noticed . when he finally came over to us , my husband explained cold ,frozen scallops, he was again defensive what do you want me to do about it ? he explained , You ate your food which John had eaten risotto /shrimp part it was 7:30 reservations, ~ 8:30 we got dinner very hungry . John like please cook the scallops. no apologizing, just bill sent us on our way . With this being said I did notice next to us , I did see a lady waitress , that was very present, amazing with her service, knowledge bringing out bottles wine, answering questions menu , etc.

I ate here a long time ago and it was good. I went today and ordered vodka pasta to go and it was very bitter definitely had better.

Nice little traditional Italian spot in a strip mall close to my brothers house in Pebble Creek. For Goodyear, this place is I Tomate and reliably good. Tonight was challenging for them as they had a large party that came in and took up a lot of the staffs time. So dinner was delayed a bit but did come out super hot and fresh. I will go again.

The ambiance was great, sat outdoors on the patio, it was quiet and casual dining. Some of the string lights did not work and no candle in the glass holder, a couple of warmers outdoors as well. Our waitress Casey was tentative and courteous we asked for a couple of drinks, a lemon drop - was light on the alcohol as well as the Long Island ice tea we ordered. She didn't quite know what it was and she offered a shot of amaretto. When we ordered we asked for a heavy hand on the alcohol, did not get it(glad to have paid for it) so we didn't order anymore. The drinks were so-so and light on alcohol and a bit watered down.We order appetizer oysters they were small about 6 of them. She offered bread which was really good and warm served with olive oil, balsamic and infused butter. Casey stated the owners are from New York and the bread is brought in from there- it was fresh and good tasting she didn't know what type of bread but thought ciabatta. The meal served was good. I ordered the Frutti di mare it was good had good size scallops and clams the shrimp was over cooked a little bit. The sauce wasn't anything special I didn't add salt or pepper it was slightly thicker with traditional flare served over linguine. I would rate it 1-10 (10 being excellent) a 6, spouse ordered Genovese veal and the veal was thin and scarce, the sauce wasn't great he gave it a 3, said it was a one and done. Overall for us I won't return the value for the quality of food is just not there. Expensive doesn't equal good food, that said a local date night with a special person or a reason for girls to dress up and have Italian I would opt for Babbo Italian eatery for food quality, quantity and service.

The food is good but the portions are small. I ordered food to go and asked for 2 small side salads and was charged $10.00 for each. When I returned home I realized they didn't even include the dressing. If they are not going to include the side salad with the entree, they should at least be reasonably priced.

I ordered the fettuccine with pancetta and peas. I had some high expectations when I came in. I'm sure the food is authentic. Pancetta was thick and fatty, which helps with flavor and texture. Food was a bit salty and I found myself drinking a lot of water to make up for it. The atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful, but just like in the old world, they expect you to chat for hours while they prepare your food fresh. There are pluses and minuses to that. The bread and olive oil was good and comes with every meal.

Wonderful place for delicious Italian food. Clean, nice atmosphere, attentive and welcoming staff, yummy food. I had Veal Marsala and she had butternut squash ravioli. Tira Miso sooooo sinful.

Very nice Goodyear restaurant! Had an early Father's Day dinner with my sweetie and my parents. Josephine, the proprietor, greeted us and showed us to a nice corner table. Server was helpful and attentive. Entrees were very nicely served and garnished. The restaurant was busy and welcoming with a lovely new-looking patio area. Between the four of us, we Enjoyed the calamari and caprese appetizers, followed by chicken parm, chicken saltimbocca, veal piccata and eggplant parmigiana. The only complaint was that the eggplant parm was not served hot. It was more room temperature and the chicken parm was also cooler than ideal. These are forgivable since restaurants are just reopening without some of their best staff. Our server was knowledgeable and attentive...a real asset to the Bella Luna team. We will be back!

Disappointed in an understatement. Ordered chicken picatta and pasta, caprese salad and spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. Got cold chicken picatta tenderloins (2 tiny pieces) with a small container of pasta marinara...spaghetti and meatballs that were dry and rather flavorless and cheesy bread, mozzarella on top of French bread. Caprese salad was dry...Just tomato's, buffalo mozzarella and basil that had rotten brown marks all over it. No olive oil or balsamic glaze. So odd. Husband called and stated concerns that we didn't get the correct order. Rude older man on phone said that's how they do it there in reference to picatta...okay well the entire world including Italy (I'm Italian and Ive been there) does chicken pasta picatta with a lemon/white wine/butter sauce. This guy went around and around on this is how picatta is done. No apologies, no resolution offered. I put that trash in the bag it came in and drove it right back over to them. Greeted by the same smart mouthed dbag on the phone, I said "I'd like the chicken picatta I ordered" and then proceeded to show the fool every google recipe that came up showing how to make chicken picatta pasta INCLUDING his own stinking reviews online complete with pictures showing how it's normally served! He still argued with me and told me next time I need to order it the way I like it which is "chicken frencaise" no sir, I won't be back to order it again and you're once again incorrect. $22.95 for 2 tasteless tenderloins in lemon and capers with a small spoon size of pasta marinara...no. Do better. Won't be back. Place was great 5 years ago, crappier every-time we go back and to go/pick up experience was atrocious.

This was my second time coming here. My dad wanted Italian for his anniversary so my wife suggested here. We were sat quickly and our server joined us shortly after. We ordered stuffed mushrooms, the weren't what I am used to. They are mushrooms with the stem out and then packed with breadcrumbs and soaked in oil then baked. They had decent flavor but left a strong oil taste in your mouth after. Again, ok, just not my preference. For dinner we had chicken alfredo, a kids penne pasta with meatball and a chicken parmesan. The alfredo was really good, but the chicken part was not. It was like a 3oz piece of thinly sliced chicken cooked until leather and rubbed with oil to make it shine. The pasta and sauce by themselves were great, the chicken ruined that flavor. The chicken parmesan tasted weird, I can't put my finger exactly why, I thought it was the sauce... my wife thought the chicken. So I really don't know. The kids penne with meat sauce and meatball were great. The server was excellent and the kids icecream was good. My wife and son said it was a very good vanilla bean. Overall I left disappointed as I remembered them being better, but service was still good so they get 3 stars

The eggplant parmigiana was just the way I like it and the marinara sauce was delicious! Can't wait to return for another delicious dinner

I'm on the fence about some of what I am about to say I love that this restaurant is open. I love that the owner is one of my people ... I ordered a chicken dish that was made with a white wine sauce and it was super dry and such a small flat portion. I did get a gluten free pasta which I thought was a great option but again, the portion was so small. My in laws who usually share a meal complained that their eggplant was so flat and again the portion was so small. As an Italian who makes eggplant parmigiana, I was a little surprised at what was on their plate. My husband enjoyed his fettuccine Alfredo. The service was great, the atmosphere was lovely. We were seated right away. My only complaint is portion sizes. I am not a big eater by any stretch of the imagination so for me to complain about size.. it was small

Awesome food and great service, if you want authentic Italian food this is the place. The owner is there and makes sure everything is running properly plus they are from New York...

We first found this restaurant while staying in a hotel nearby. We enjoyed it very much! We have visited several times. Inside's atmosphere, made me feel right at home. Very "tuscany" looking and playing the classic songs my grandfather use to sing to me! The first time having their homemade tortellini & shrimp in a lemon butter sauce. It was really good! Pasta was nice & light. Shrimp was good as well! My husband's fettuccine Alfredo was very good! We had the chance to meet the owner, who is very sweet & from Long Island, NY! It made sense why the food was so good! We took friends here on a different occasion. One had chicken parmigiana & the other Fra Diablo (shrimp & crab over spaghetti). We also tried the fried calamari. It was ok, I have had better. I tried the chicken parmigiana & my husband had the veal parmigiana and for both of us, it was just ok. I was not too impressed with the sauce & sprinkling shredded mozzarella on top, isn't how I am use to making it or having it in other Italian restaurants. The cannoli was ok. My husband, who loves to switch things up (LOL) has the fettuccine Alfredo each time & it was really good. Twice he had their shrimp cocktail & he enjoyed it. The baked clams I had were just ok. Very tiny & where is the sauce/Juice with it? I personally would not order that again. They had a special one time that included scallops & shrimp over risotto & it was very good. The last time we were in, I believe the kitchen was a bit off. My husband's fettuccine alfredo was more on the liquid side & didn't have the flavor it normally has. All in all, definitely check this place out! We don't live far from there, but we will be back!

2 stars for timing. There was 4 of us. We arrived at 6pm and our food arrived 7:40pm. We're guessing staffing issues. 4 stars for the food. I would 1st call to see if they are behind.

(Can you give less than one star?) This place was recommended by someone I thought was a friend. Went there on Friday night and it was 90% empty which I should have taken as a sign to about face and leave. The service was poor, not because the waiter was bad but because he was the only person working the dining room despite there being other people on shift. The cheese and meat board appetizer was the highlight, which isn't saying much considering the highly processed cheese and meat all looked sourced from the supermarket across the way. I ordered Veal Francese and got a plate swimming with watery spaghetti and wet, paper thin veal (I think it was veal). One of the worst places I've ever been. Chains like Mangianos put out much better food than this 'Italian' imposter.

Food is great but staff needs help understanding customer service. Ordered a dish with scallops. No scallops just shrimp. Waitress says we ran out when asked. Really????? Maybe check with the customer first? Unreal

Food was amazing , and authentic, service was perfect , I would give this beautiful place 20 stars , I'm 100% coming back...

My husband had a late lunch at this place today. He was with a group of friends. He decided to bring me a couple of their dessserts (great reviews) the bread pudding and the cheesecake with strawberry topping. Both were ten bucks apiece. When I see reviews about desserts, I know it's either a non baker, a hungry person or a connoisseur of deserts (lol). Neither of these desserts deserve to cost $10 nor do they deserve more than a 4 out of 10 rating. I bake so I know good food. Sorry, but I think the other reviewers don't bake and they were just hungry. Oh, and my husband ordered the Alfredo with chicken. He said it was 6 out of 10. So, it's your choice.

I am confused by other reviews. Maybe the food quality went down recently. Here was my experience. I'll start with the good, which is why I gave at least 2 stars. Pros: - Service is amazing and warm. Genuinely felt like our server cared. If the food was better I would go just for him. - Wine was priced well and delicious. Merlot was full bodied and I enjoyed it. It was a heavy pour. Cons: - Mozzarella meatballs were... meatballs with mozzarella on top... that's it. - Shrimp Fra Diavlo was liquidy. It was fishy. Pasta felt like I cooked it at home. Nothing Italian about it. - Penne Vodka Chicken was sad. I do not have another word for it. Chicken was tough and dry. Pasta was watered down. Sauce had no flavor and tasted from a can. Maybe it was a bad day for them. Not sure but with prices at $17 and over for entrees, I expected more.

Two stars for food only. Service was absolutely horrendous. Arrived on Sunday afternoon. There was one family dining and us. We were seated promptly. The restaurant seems clean and well decorated. The hostess seemed like she could careless. We placed an order, never got our appetizer, she filled the drinks only once. The glasses were empty for quite some time when she asked if we would like a refill. If the restaurant was full of customers it would be understandable but it wasn't. We ordered pasta with grilled salmon. We asked that salmon would be on a side of pasta. She first brought pasta, yes just plain pasta. After quite sometime she brought three pieces of salmon all on one plate. For three people the salmon was on one plate. Does not make any sense. I asked her about appetizer when we were almost done with a meal. She said "oh I forgot". Would love to go back but not for this poor service.

This restaurant used to be fantastic, however, it's tiny take-out portions are pitiful as shown in these pictures that cost us $100!!! I complained, but they did not care. What happened to good customer service?

Food and Service was pretty good. Not too much of ambiance. Easy parking in front of the restaurant.
