Casa La Luna

We had an excellent experience at Casa La Luna and can’t wait to go back! From the moment we walked in, we were taken by the beautiful atmosphere. It was warm, inviting, and perfect for a special night out. We started with a couple of bourbon cocktails that were expertly crafted and a great way to kick off the evening. For an appetizer, we ordered the calamari, and wow, it was outstanding! The sauce was so good it was practically drinkable. Absolutely delicious and a great start to the meal. For our entrées, we had the lamb chops and the pappardelle. Both dishes were executed perfectly. The lamb chops were cooked to perfection and full of flavor, and the pappardelle was rich, balanced, and incredibly satisfying. To top it all off, we finished with a tiramisu that was beautifully presented as a birthday treat. Such a thoughtful touch and the perfect sweet ending to a fantastic meal. Highly recommend visiting Casa La Luna. We’ll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

We had a wonderful experience at Casa La Luna during my first time in Cleveland. We went for a business dinner, and this place was truly awesome. The atmosphere was warm, inviting, and perfect for conversation while still feeling professional. It created a great setting for our meeting and made my first dining experience in Cleveland even more memorable. The food was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. Everything we ordered was satisfying and well presented. The staff was also fantastic. They were attentive, friendly, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. Their professionalism and warm service really stood out. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely come back!

A sophisticated atmosphere that serves some of the best food in Cleveland. Server was extremely knowledgeable. Great spot for a date night. Its a little pricey, however, you get what you pay for. Authentic italian cuisine while overlooking a beautiful view of the city.

Went to Casa Luna to celebrate my husband’s birthday and we loved it! The food was amazing, the service was excellent, and the location is very nice. Expect to spend around $30+ per person, and they also offer valet parking for $10 which was super convenient. Overall, we had a great experience and I definitely recommend this place.

Just a great dining experience, great food and really good /service. We had a great birthday celebration with family. Delicious appetizers and the entire table loved our dinners.

I recently took my girlfriend out to this restaurant to celebrate her birthday, and it turned out to be an amazing experience. 🎉 The place itself is beautiful and the view is absolutely stunning, which made the evening feel even more special and romantic. 🌅 The food was outstanding. We ordered the branzino and the salmon, and both dishes tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly prepared. 🐟 You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients. The prices are a bit on the higher side, similar to many upscale restaurants in Cleveland, but honestly the quality and overall experience make it totally worth it. The service was also excellent. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect throughout the meal. As a nice surprise for my girlfriend’s birthday, they brought us a complimentary tiramisu. 🎂 And I have to say, it was easily one of the best tiramisus I’ve ever had in the U.S. — just as good as the ones I’ve tasted in Italy! 🇮🇹 If you visit, you absolutely have to try the tiramisu for dessert — you won’t regret it. I highly recommend this place for a special night out! 😋✨

The service here is exceptional. We sat at the bar and both bartenders were very attentive but not overbearing. Food is so flavorful and perfectly cooked. I dream about the red sauce on the calamari. Loads of seasonal specials, on top of a perfected menu. This is a special Italian restaurant.

Love the place, not sure why it took me so long to stop by for happy hour Staff is pretty amazing and the food is excellent.. Always good to find a place where they know what an Old Fashion should taste like Oh yeah, don’t leave till you have the Tiramisu

Excellent. Delicious food, very attentive service, and a beautiful restaurant with incredible views. They have "monkey and a dart" menu - you could have a monkey throw a dart at the menu and I'd eat whatever they hit. It's that good. Of particular excellence - the artichoke appetizer is amazing, and the complimentary bread with olive oil is extraordinary. I mean it - some of the best bread I've ever had. Wonderful restaurant. We can't wait to go back...

Went with 2 friends on a Monday evening and the experience was amazing. Interior was nicely furnished with marble tables. Moderate noise level with a lot of people having just gotten off from work. Service was very friendly and prompt by our waitress. As for food, we ordered quite the spread but it was well worth the hefty price tag. Meal highlight was the duck for sure. It was tender, moist, and cooked to perfection with crispy skin. Paperdelle with assorted meats was also good with al dente noodles. Wild boar pasta was flavorful and savory with a decent hint of alcoholic flavor infused. Lamb chops were alright, not to my personal taste being a tad bit too sweet along with the risotto. Oh, and the bread is fresh baked and delicious. Beef carpaccio appetizer was bit pricy with only 4 slices but pretty in line with a standard carpaccio. Dessert trio was amazing having 3 different selections. Canoloa was particularly good being decadent without too much sweetness. Overall this place is worth going out for special occasions. Definitely get the duck but skip the lamb chops .

Ok, I struggled with this rating. I wanted to give it 5 stars, and it was close, but I couldn't do it. I'd give the food 4.5 stars, and the service a 3. The ambience, meh... Ok, but not spectacular. Service The manager is a moron. Plain and simple. I arrived, saying I'd like to go to the bar and wait for the rest of my party. He said, "Well, there are no seats at the bar". Well, no shit! You mean I just can't go in and order a cocktail??" Idiot. I ended up doing just that. The bartender was wonderful, and the cocktail was perfect! I mean, perfect!! And it was still happy hour, so it was inexpensive and she didn't spare the booze! First, the service. I felt very, very rushed. They were good at taking the order, but we were having a relaxing evening, and they kept trying to take our plates even though there was plenty of food still on them. This included the server and the manager. It was annoying. Our reservation was at 6, so I'm sure they were trying to clear us out for the second seating. The Wine They have an excellent wine selection. Incredible wine list. My only critique but the least expensive wine was $65. There are wines you can purchase, and we were drinking cabs, for a lot less. A good wine list, but it would be nice to see it more diverse. The Appetizer: The calamari appetizer was ok, 4/5. It was served with a delicious red sauce and was perfect for dipping their house bread, which was plentiful. The calamari was slightly bland, however. The Entrees: If you can endure the annoying service and overpriced wine, the entrees were nearly perfect. I ordered the seafood tortellini. It really was excellent. The sauce was creamy and fresh, the tortellini wasn't overdone (overboiled), and there was plenty of seafood, particularly lobster. My dinner guests had the ossobuco. I love ossobuco in general. This was sincerely the best I've ever had. It was tender, flavorful, and seasoned perfectly. Seriously amazing. Not sure if I'd go back. It's a very intimate space in that they pack a lot of people in there. But at $40-$80 a plate, not sure if it was worth it. The risotto of the day was $80! I don't mind spending money, but their prices were a bit excessive. Overall a great experience, truly, but very quirky. But yes, worth trying.

Loved coming here for happy hour. Definitely is a popular spot for happy hour-- 5-7pm Monday-Fridays, 5-9pm Sundays. You can only get the happy hour specials at the bar so it gets full quickly. Most recently, I came on a weekday around 6:15, and the bar was full--waited about ten minutes before seats opened up. The complimentary bread is great. It has that perfect crispy exterior and fluffy interior that pairs well with the olive oil. Ordered the pear martini--definitely could taste the pear, not too sweet. For food, we ordered the carpaccio di salmone, ravioli, and cavatelli al bolognese (all $10 each). The carpaccio and ravioli were pretty small in quantity (3 ravioli pieces), but then again they were both $10 and tasted great. If you're looking for more bang for your buck, the cavatelli had a little more in quantity and it tasted good, pasta with that good al dente texture. Service at the bar was good but a little slow, understandable given the full bar. Parking available as valet or free street parking if you're willing to walk a few minutes. Overall great food for happy hour, as long as you don't mind the wait. Would definitely consider coming back.

Casa La Luna is truly one of the gems of the West Bank of the Flats -- and honestly, I can't believe it took me this long to try it! I was headed to Jacobs Pavilion to see T-Pain (because buy u a drank is forever a bop) and wanted to grab dinner somewhere close. After a quick Google search, Casa La Luna popped up. I've seen this place over the years but never stopped in -- and what a shame, because this spot is AMAZING. It's been around since 2005 and clearly knows what it's doing. They do have a happy hour, but it's only available at the bar. Since we were on a time crunch, I made a reservation and was glad I did. Our server, Nita, started us off with waters and a loaf of bread big enough to feed a small village. It came out piping hot (which gave me all the cozy feels) along with a flavorful herb and oil dip that had a nice little kick. I ordered the Blueberry Thyme Martini, and it did not disappoint -- perfectly balanced and refreshing. I was dining with a couple of friends, which of course meant we all sampled each other's dishes. I went with the menu mainstay, the Lobster Ravioli, and it was absolutely delectable. My friends ordered two of the day's specials (there were about six in total): the Halibut stuffed with crab and the Fettuccine with scallops. Both were to die for -- rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. To close out the evening, we shared a slice of Tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet ending to a flawless Italian dinner. Overall, Casa La Luna feels upscale but warm -- the kind of place that's perfect for a celebratory dinner or a date night with your main squeeze (definitely not the spot for your sneaky link). The food, service, and ambiance all hit the mark. I highly recommend giving this place a try -- and when you do, you can thank me later.

Always love coming here! Such a cozy and warm vibe with all the beautiful holiday decor. Had the sweetest server and the sommelier recommended a lovely bottle of Italian red for our meal. Dinner was great but my favorite part was the pistachio cheesecake - incredible! We love this as a special occasion spot or to take out of town guests. Never disappoints.

This was a lovely choice for our friends birthday celebration! I highly recommend making a reservation, because this was a Sunday evening and it was packed!! Our server came with bread and took our drink order very fast! Once we had our drinks... we already knew we had to try to Sachetti (they are known for this & if you haven't tried to, you have to!!) - it is a very small serving & kinda expensive but again very good!! I got the Orechiette Con Rapini - it was very good & a large serving!! It doesn't really come with a sauce... but I was very surprised at how much flavor it had!!! I would definitely get this again!! My friend got the summer special Fruitti di Mare ($55) & it was yummy, it came with A LOT of seafood to enjoy- she couldn't even finish it all! The birthday girl got the Cavatelli Al Foro ( a baked pasta dish) - she loved it!! It was flavorful & saucy!! I would definitely try this one too! & she of course also got a free dessert, which was the tiramisu with a cute candle ( AND PICTURE OF US ALL!! ) how cute is that!! Casa la luna really was a great choice for a dinner - would be the perfect place for a fancy/intimate dinner!! Plus, when our server went to pack up our dishes - one of ours was lost so she had the kitchen make an entire new dish for us to be able to take home!!! (Free of charge) which was the kindest thing ever!! Highly recommend this place!!!

Cozy spot with some good Italian food. Our server was great -- she even gave me a Tide stick after I got some tomato sauce on my white dress. :) My favourites from the night were the sacchetti and the creme brûlée. The espresso martini was also great!

Highly recommend Casa La Luna for a nice dining experience! I went here for a birthday dinner with friends and it was perfect. The interior was beautiful and the food was wonderful. I have been to Luca West before so was familiar with the Sacchetti Al Tartufo Bianco - of course we ordered the Sacchetti for an appetizer and it did not disappoint! The appetizer comes with 5 Sacchetti stuffed with ricotta. We also dipped our bread in the remainder of the truffle and cream sauce! I ordered the Cavatelli Al Forno as my entree which was a great choice as I love a creamy tomato sauce! They also gave me a birthday tiramisu to share with the rest of my group. Will be returning!

There is a good reason why this restaurant has been around for so long - great food and great service. Love the outside patio here and its in a very good part of the Flats. Started with the complimentary bread basket (great warm bread). We had the Ribolita soup (I would say its their take on the minestroni soup), Kobe Carpaccio for appetizers, Red Snapper special, Sacchetti and Lamb Chops. All were very good. Since it was our daughter's birthday, the restaurant gave us tiramasu (which we were planning to order, so that worked out perfectly) - it is still one of the best in the city. It is an upscale restaurant so be prepared to pay more with slightly smaller portions. But a great experience overall. One downside is being charged $10 for valet. I think for a level of restaurant, they could skip that

I was so excited to try this highly recommended Italian spot in Cleveland. My excitement turned into amusement with the parking situation, became genuine with the bread course, and then quickly died after that! A lot of emotions for a meal that should have been great based on the price and what I heard - but just wasnt. Maybe I shouldn't be comparing it to a NYC italian dinner - but it truly is priced similarly. You seem to need to valet, though the valet parked my car in a spot right next to where I pulled up the car - so it seemed a little silly to be paying $10 cash ($12 credit) to valet a car i should have been able to park myself. Especially because he gave me the keys after he parked the car - so not sure what the point of that quite is...he was gone when we finished dinner. We sat down to a lovely view in a nice booth and had quite the warm bread and yummy garlic oil type situation to start. When we had this, and I had a nice glass of Santa Barbara pinot noir I was so excited to see where this meal would take us. That quickly turned. For apps we had a special of the day, the tuna carpaccio. It tasted like nothing - truly nothing - I love tuna carpaccio, but why have it taste like nothing? We also got the burrata, it was worse than burrata I buy at whole foods - the prosciutto was good, the peppers good, but they clearly didn't make this burrata themselves, or even buy the highest quality burrata...and it was so cold - nobody in Italy serves burrata that cold! We heard the pasta was good so we got a bolognese and a cavatelli. Oh boy, the bolognese was mid - just not tasty at all, but not offensive, though it did taste homemade. So it had that going for it. The cavatelli felt like the most midwest italian pasta dish you could make at a fancy restaurant. Nothing about it felt italian at all. It wasn't horrible, it just could've been so much better. One would hope tiramisu could turn it around, but alas, the tiramisu was also completely uninspiring. I love Il Rione and I'll be going back there, because this just wasn't it.

I really enjoyed my dinner at Casa La Luna. I tried the gnocchi and other appetizer pasta. For dessert I got the tiramisu. The gnocchi dish was massive! It was crazy but very good. The other pasta was very rich and delicious but glad I limited it to just a half portion on the appetizer menu. The bread and oil that come complimentarily was incredible. The tiramisu was fine. Very middle of the road as far as tiramisu goes.

Came here with a colleague, and it was soooo good! I was already excited for this place, as it's on Yelp CLE's list of the best places to eat according to CLE Yelp Elites, and it surely did not disappoint! First off, I'm such a sucker for low lighting, and it's perfect here. Did I need my phone to see a couple of words? Yes. Did I care? No :) We started with a bottle of red wine, along with a caprese salad and the sacchetti al tartufo bianco, which is a white truffle ricotta-stuffed pasta to share...and wow, what a start. Everything was so fresh, which, of course, got me excited for the rest of the meal. Ironically, I ended up ordering the same pasta for my entrée. I guess it's a good thing I loved it! Once again, it was amazing. We ended the night with bread pudding, which was delicious. I will absolutely be back the next time I'm in CLE!

Amazing food but cold unwelcoming service. We stopped here while having a weekend away in Cleveland. I love a good risotto and a great glass of wine. I ordered the gnocchi and my friend ordered Costolleta Di Agnello (lamb chop). Best thing about the restaurant- the sweet pea risotto. Hands down best risotto I have had in the US. However the lamb was overcooked leading to a good workout to get the meat off the bone! The gnocchi was fine and the tomatoes sauce was fine too. But the risotto was mind blowing! I do want to say our waitress seemed to be rushing us and not very talkative. All the tables around us were having very long talks with our waitress and others around us but ours wanted nothing to do with us. Food came out faster than my cosmo and glass of wine. Inside was nicely lit. Overall great place. Please get the risotto.

Great food and scenic location on viaduct. The sachets appetizers was great as people had mentioned. Good service by staff. Clean and neat whiite table cloth venue I had scallops and linguine, very fresh and flavorful . My wife and daughter split a ribeye and enjoyed it. Had a cassata cake and cream brûlée for desert which was perfect

Excellent food, good service, one of the best restaurants in the area! We love coming here, only negative is the parking lot but they have valet available.

Out first visit here and it was great.!!!! I had Red Snapper that was awesome.!!! My wife got the Lobster Risotto and it was amazing also..!!! Great food and good portions.!!!

Parking for the location started it off and was kind of sucky. You have to valet or walk a good little distance. In the cold, it can be a little miserable so I did drop my wife off at the door. The house were very nice and accommodating. The service was very friendly and great interacting with our toddler. The food was all taste wise very good. My lamb I did have to send back because it was not cooked to temp. I asked for medium rare, and it was raw in the middle. Definitely not even questioning it, it was cold. As much as I paid for the meal, I would expect them to temp before leaving the kitchen, but maybe not. As I said that the flavor of everything was really good. Atmosphere was really nice on the inside. I would say the mood lighting once it was dark outside could have been a little bit brighter. I felt like I was eating in the dark. Overall was a nice experience though.

Excellent HH deals here - all the HH items were $7 which is such a steal. Come early/right as they open or you won't get a seat at the bar for HH. From the HH menu, we got the salmon carpaccio, the mussels, caprese salad, calamari, and bolognese, but there were a few more options on the HH menu. We also got an appetizer order of the sacchetti ($18), since that is a signature dish of Luna's. All the dishes were tasty and came out super quickly. There is also complimentary bread with olive oil & vinegar which was also very tasty. I enjoyed all the dishes, and the sacchetti came with ~7 pieces which was a perfect amount to get a taste. Highly recommend this dish, it was excellent. My favorite item from the HH menu was the bolognese -- huge portion size for the price and tasted great. The service was very quick initially when they weren't busy, but they quickly filled up and then it became a bit difficult to get the bill and leave since the poor bartender had to wait on all the bar seats and make drinks, but he did a good job considering the bar seats were full when we left, and a good portion of the restaurant was full too. All in all, excellent HH deals, but many items on their regular menu looked good as well. If you do want to make HH, come early right as it starts to get a seat! Parking right out front is valet only (or permit only), but if you park a bit further up the street, you can find free street parking.

When out of towners ask for Italian restaurant recommendations I send them here. My go to. Top 2 lobster ravioli in the city (and it's not 2). Service is always a 10. Great atmosphere for a date night, birthday dinner or evening with friends. I love the enclosed outdoor patio seating in the summer. Valet parking only.

Some of the best Italian food in the area. Whether you're seated at the bar, in a booth, or outside the service is impeccable. Interior is dark, moody, and romantic. Menu is expansive, but keep a close eye on the specials because they're always fantastic. Portions are massive. Always delicious. Cocktails are always great. Perhaps the highlight of every meal is the large serving of tiramisu at the end. Highly recommend coming here for a date night or to celebrate a special occasion.

Amazing food, worth every penny. Drinks were also really good. Loved the ambiance as well, outdoor seating was pretty cool.

Very hard to give 5 stars but everything at this place was top notch. Calamari to start was cooked perfectly and drenched in a really hard to beat red sauce that had a bit of a kick to it. Lobster ravioli along with another pancetta pasta were honestly perfect. Very very hard to find flaws. Bartender was a bit on the slow side but the food makes up for it. Can't ding them for that. Prices were not low but not the worst I've seen and again, for food like that it works. Building itself is great inside, also has outdoor seating. The place checks all boxes.

Absolutely wonderful restaurant! The food is simply amazing from appetizers to desserts. The ambience is so cozy and inviting. Our server Mark was knowledgeable about every item on the menu as well as recommendations for the perfect wines and cocktails.

This is an amazing place with great service and great food. Can't say enough about how good everything was.

This was a place I wanted to check out based on their reviews. We had just got into town and were starved so we stopped in to see how their Happy Hour was. That one night has definitely turned into many nights when we are in town. This is our go to first pick! I have an Allium allergy. Which always makes my dining experience more stressful. The bar staff are friendly and helpful. They worked with the Chef to figure out what options I had which I was thrilled to have a few. They get pretty busy but always manage to stay on top of things. The kitchen runs efficiently and everything they serve looks and tastes delicious on a consistent basis. I was so excited to be eating Italian food not made in my own kitchen. They have a nice Wine and Cocktail list. Back to the food. We tried a lot. The Calamari - Amazing. Not fried, Perfectly cooked every time. Tender with a little spice, sometimes a lot of spice. My first visit I had it with the red sauce that did not contain any ingredients I couldn't have. Since then it has had Onion so I have had an olive oil based sauce with a pinch of red pepper. Good as well but not as delicious as the red sauce which is my favorite. Carpaccio Di Salmone- This was one of my favorites. Perfectly balanced with the brininess of the Capers. It is not only delicious and fresh but beautifully presented. Caprese- It's Caprese. Tasty and fresh ingredients. Mussels- Good . I liked other things more. Don't forget the Bread. Their bread is amazing. So splurge and have some! As far as Entree's.... Cavatelli Al Bolognese - Delicious, well made. My husband liked it. I could not personally try it. Penne Alla Vodka- This is his favorite. Creamy, Delicious, with a kick from the red pepper flakes. He orders this every time. For me. On our first night I was able to get the red sauce that goes into the Calamari which I was told was made without any of my allergens. It was amazing. On subsequent nights, this was not the case. I had to order plain noodles some nights to eat with my calamar which was decent. This past visit I was told the Champagne Cream Sauce was safe so I ordered that. It was also delicious! Tiramisu- We finally ordered dessert. We got it to go. It was amazing. One of the best I've had. Another thing to add to the list of things we have to get when we come in. I know the restaurant name is changing soon. I'm hoping the menu won't. Why mess with perfection. We look forward to dining here when we return in a couple of months. I'm giving five stars due to the delicious food, consistency and service.

This is by far one of my FAVORITE places to eat in Cleveland. The service was great very attentive, the food was AMAZING The vibe & view I was feeling it. This place is a must

My fiance and I stopped by here last night for the first time for dinner and it was such a wonderful experience! The vibe is unmatched. We already knew we were in for a treat because we arrived 5 minutes before the restaurant opened and there was already a line out the door. We got seated in the outdoor veranda which was so lovely and surprisingly cool despite the 80 degree weather. I will say the service is a bit slow. It took about an hour to order and get our food. But, my guess is because it's such a popular spot and the restaurant filled up as soon as it opened. However, the service was very friendly and the wait was worth it, as our food was phenomenal! We got the lemonade, a mocktail, shrimp cocktail, bolognese, and the pork chop. All were so delicious! We wanted dessert but were too full, so we'll have to come back next time. It's a little pricey but good for a special occasion. We actually decided to try out the restaurant because we are hosting our wedding dinner celebration here in a few months, so now we are even more excited about it!

We selected this restaurant based on the menu, location and Yelp reviews. We were not impressed. Food: 2/5 The sacchetti was very good. The veal saltimbocca was thick and served with terrible potatoes, and broccoli that was undercooked. Broccoli is not the classic vegetable served with saltimbocca. Noise: 1/5 Loud music we did not care to hear. We also were placed near the kitchen. Seating: 4/5 The bench seat was comfortable. Ambiance: 3/5 Not the most attractive space. Many people packed in. Okay is the best way to describe. Service: 1/5 The waiter did not know what a daquiri was, so we had to explain. The bar tender still messed it up, using vodka, not rum. The first course arrived before our wine. Later confusion upon serving a second glass of wine. Two different servers brought a second glass, one of which we turned away. We sat near a stub wall, next to the kitchen. The slow moving server reached over the wall to fetch some used plates. We had to assist. No sense of urgency or competency.

We were here to celebrate my husband's birthday. Getting here in the winter is a bit of a gamble especially with parking but trust the Valet to ensure you're parked and can enjoy your time. What I appreciated the most is that I had made reservations via OpenTable and had written in a couple of special requests (champagne ready at the table and the best seats in the house) they fulfilled them both! Love the ambience and the hostess was very kind. The food was absolutely lipsmackingly delicious. They started with pouring out champagne for us and brought us the bread and oil - warm crusty bread and the balsamic vinegar infused dipping oil was absolutely yum. We ordered calamari and artichokes for appetisers and ordered a branzino to share. The whole branzino is filleted by the table which is kind of their specialty. Everything was just delicious. They were even kind enough to bring us some complimentary house made Tiramisu as dessert to celebrate the occasion. Love the place will definitely be coming back for more.

Omg! This place deserves not 5 but 10,000 stars!!!! Everything here is just perfection! But make sure you make a reservation in advance, it gets super packed and it is difficult to find a spot if last minute. The ambiance is so beautiful with its perfect lighting through the entire venue which makes you get into a really nice mood of "something good is about to happen here" as soon as you walk in. Beautiful big windows with nice views of the city skyline too that makes it a whole perfect vibe for the experience. The service is just outstanding from the moment you walk in. Great servers with great recommendations of the menu and their specials of the day which is always great to hear. And the food is just amazing super high quality and you can definitely taste it! Their scallops were to die for, haven't had such delicious scallops in my life, they just melted in your mouth, their cannelloni di vitello were exquisite and extremely tasty as well as their tortellini! And their desserts didn't disappoint either so make sure you leave room for them because the crème brûlée is one of the best ones I have ever had in my life and their tiramisu was out of this world too!! Definitely an amazing place to celebrate any type of event or to treat yourself as it can get pricey. But sooooo definitely worth it!

I was in Cleveland the other weekend for a wedding and had a nice dinner date out on the town. We were recommended Luca, and it did not disappoint. The place sits just outside of downtown, with an excellent skyline view. We had Donnie taking care of us, and the whole staff was incredible. I ordered this pasta dish with truffle oil that might've been the top dish I've ever had. I forget the name, but if you show the waiter the photo, they will direct you to the right place. Service: 9.4 Pasta: 9.9 Caprese: 9.1 Scale system 10/10 would be what I want for my last meal 9.9-9.3 driving out of my way to get this 9.2-8.0 like the place and would go back 7.9-7.0 I would come here again if it were presented and don't have anything bad to say 6.9 and below - thanks, but no thanks after trying once

As an Italian from NJ being blessed with some of the best Italian-American food in the country, I wasn't expecting much in regards to high end Italian cuisine during my weekend in Cleveland with my two young daughters. Man was I wrong! Am I just lucky to have found Casa La Luna? Or is good Italian in Cleveland really a thing? Regardless, Casa La Luna --- just incredible! 10 out of 10! The manager George and our lovely server Mirela are simply just top notch amazing humans - the best of the best and not to mention incredibly helpful and knowledgeable of all things Italian and cuisine!! And the food... the food... just wow!! Glad we crossed paths. I can't recommend casa la Luna enough!!

Went to Casa La Luna for a friends birthday this weekend. We had a party of 4. We were sat in an area that was an enclosed patio. There was no view and it was crowded and noisy and humid from all the people. Service was a challenge. Maybe it is better in the summer when the walls are off the patio. The food was mediocre. The gnocchi was very mushy and the sauce far too spicy. The bread was the best part. Not sure I would go back but if you go I highly suggest you make sure you are in the interior part of the restaurant.

I have been coming here since they opened, and I can honestly say I have never had a bad meal. The service is good, and the vibe is amazing. This is a sweet spot for a date night, dinner with friends or colleagues, or a birthday celebration!

Truly one of the best dining experiences I've had in a long time! Casa La Luna was recommended to us by family friends who have dined in a few times before. My family came here on Christmas Eve, and the atmosphere was absolutely perfect! When we sat down, we were immediately served steaming hot bread with oil, which was addicting! Our waitress was super knowledgeable about the menu and their specials, and she didn't hesitate to give good recommendations. We ordered shrimp cocktail for the appetizer, as well as their house salad. The wine and pasta was so so so good. I cannot wait to come back!

Another wonderful dining experience at Luca. Table bread is best in town to start your delicious meal. This time I tried the Veal Saltimbocca and it was so darn good I ate the entire thing. It may be my all time favorite in town. Dine here and you won't be disappointed. There are so many great items you have to come back.

First time here since the name changed but still get the same great service staff is kind our waiter Shaun was very knowledgeable and checked on us occasionally the lobster ravioli was delicious our drinks were good too great view of Lake Erie if you get lucky to sit by the window valet parking only $10

This is a very cool place that I've eaten at twice over the past week. My advice to anyone coming here is to stay away from any steaks or chops. The ribeye I had tonight was a really bad cut -- chewy and full of gristle. Everything else was very good. Go with pasta or other more traditional Italian dishes and you should be all set. Great service and atmosphere.

I try and go to Luca when I am in Cleveland. The atmosphere is upbeat and the views of the city are great. The food is consistent and delicious. I honestly do not know of any dish that was below great. When I was last in I had the duck and it was properly cooked with perfect crispy crust. The service is always great.

Went here for happy hour with a friend who has raved about their specials. We arrived promptly at 5PM upon opening as he let me know the bar seating fills up fast. Boy was he right. Luckily we were able to get 2 seats at the bar, but the remaining seats and tables throughout the restaurant filled up very quickly. Having grown up and worked in Cleveland my whole life, I had always heard about Luca, but didn't know where it was. Situated on the West Bank of the Flats, it had a great view of the Cuyahoga River and bridge. There was also easy and ample parking right out front. Starting off with the happy hour cocktails, we had the Pear Martini and SKYY Cosmo. The pear martini I had was decent, but my friends Cosmo was super strong and tasted purely of vodka. For $7 though, it was hard to complain. For food we got the happy hour special Penne, Calamari, and Caprese. We LOVED the penne and for the price, both the penne and calamari were a steal. We however were very disappointed with the caprese as there were only 2 slices of tomato and 2 slices of mozzarella for the same price as the other dishes. I decided to get a drink off the happy hour menu (The Paper Plane), and it was just okay. Their cocktails overall were not my favorite, but the happy hour dishes would bring me back. The service we received was pretty slow, but understandable given the large rush they got when they first opened. I am hopeful in the future, if we sat at a table we may get more attentive server from a waiter than a bartender making drinks for the whole restaurant.

This place has a great vibe! We came here to celebrate a special occasion and it was the perfect place for it. Their drink and wine menu was varied! The service was excellent and the staff were kind. Everything we tried was absolutely delicious! A highlight was the Lobster Risotto off of their daily specials which was huge and so rich! Can't wait to come and try more items in the menu. Telling my friends to come next time so we can try more items!

We visited during happy hour and the two of us made it out just under $100... it was fantastic. It can be tight getting a seat at the small bar and if you don't get one, you won't get their happy hour plates. But i think most of their food at happy hour is on their menu. You will need a reservation at the restaurant. Valet parking.. great restaurant. The food is so-tasty especially if you like Italian.

In my sole visit to this magnificent gem, I was taken aback by the elegence, ambiance, and impeccable service that welcomed you as you walked through the door. The interior sets an intimate tone, with soft lighting and tables set closely together. I sat at the bar and viewed the menu with impassioned glee. There are an assortment of salads and delectable options encompassing pasta, chicken, veal, and seafood. I selected the Ravioli di Aragosta - a symphony of lobster and shrimp over squid ink ravioli immersed in a savory tomato cream sauce! Complementary fresh baked warm bread was served with an olive oil tampenade. It was an incredible prelude to my entree, with a crispy outer layer atop a soft hearty core. Between the ambiance, service, food quality, and portions, Luca's was undoubtedly a 5 star experience. In the words of Arnold Schwarzenegger - I'll be back!

Very disappointing experience. Years ago when this was Luca, I used to frequent this restaurant and absolutely loved it. Went Monday night for my birthday and was shocked at how bad everything was. The server was nice but terrible service. She repeatedly forgot what we ordered and kept coming back to ask, didn't bring more bread when we asked, and we had to ask for things multiple times to get them. Ambiance/view is nice, but the restaurant smelled very strongly and our clothes/hair reeked of a grill/food smell when we left. As for the food, we ordered: - Ribolita soup- fine, needed some salt, had a ton of black pepper which made me keep coughing -House salad- good -Sachetti- very good as always, but presentation-wise, just thrown on the plate -I ordered a medium filet with a side of papardalle with cream sauce. The steak came out well done first, sent back, then came back literally raw, not even rare. I feel like cooking the right temp on a steak should be pretty elementary for an establishment with this price point. My pasta was horrible, pieces stuck together with an unpleasant texture. -A seafood ravioli which my brother enjoyed -My parents got the branzino which was overcooked and the veggies on the side just weren't good -Veal cannelloni which tasted fine but was super drenched in a sea of sauce -A fettuccine special which was fine but not great, but the scallops on it were good The manager was nice and took the steak and side of pasta off the bill, and got a complimentary birthday dessert platter instead of just the tiramisu. Overall though, never going there again. Paid $420 for a horrible experience. Unpopular opinion but Luca west is way better.

This review is based on their happy hour. Great spot for happy hour. I believe that you have to be sitting at the bar to take advantage of it. Great prices for a nice, modern Italian restaurant. The cocktails were around $7, beers even cheaper. I tried a few and they were all amazing. For the food, we had the seafood pizza, veal pasta and mussels. The veal was definitely the star of the night, but all of the food was pretty darn good. Bartender was really friendly. Conversed with us a bit and gave us recommendations on both food and drinks. I'd be curious to try this place out for normal dinner, but I for sure will be returning here for happy hour. Hard to beat the price to quality of both the food and drinks!

Came here for a birthday dinner and had great service! Had the two lobster tail special which was quite pricey but worth trying. The risotto wasn't cooked thoroughly and was hard but the lobster made up for it.

Food was so so good and service as well! Venue is also very nice and modern, little loud but not terrible.

I'm late in writing this review, but I did not want to miss out on sharing this experience. First, let me tell you to ARRIVE EARLY if you are trying to make it to happy hour. There is a vestibule where people begin lining up to snag bar seats. You won't know there's a long line until it's too late. It's busy, don't the chances. We got lucky and were the last ones to get bar seats, though the couple beside us did end up leaving with enough time for another couple to be seated (this is highly unusual per the locals that were sitting around us). We were also informed that the last couple of seats at the far end of the bar (The furthest away from the entry) are always reserved for friends of the owner. Don't make the mistake of trying to grab those two seats and then come back when you're turned away. Someone will have already spoken for all of the other seats. The bartenders are really working, you can tell that they have it down to a science. The wine prices are also reduced and there were nice options, which was great. The happy hour menu is available online. The food here was amazing. We did not snap any photos (sorry!) because neither of us had eaten anything all day and we were too pause for pics. The portions that they offer for happy hour specials are just smaller sizes than the normal entrees. We shared the ravioli, crostini and for dessert the chocolate mousse. Everything was absolutely delicious. The mousse was extremely rich, and after the food we had it sat heavy in my stomach but was OH SO WORTH IT! I would maybe recommend getting a coffee to pair with dessert. I had some port (tawny) to pair with it and it matched nicely with the dessert. I feel so silly for not getting any photos, but I would highly recommend checking this place out if you're in town. we were visiting for a concert on a Friday night and the location was unbeatable to get to Jacob's pavilion. I don't think there's a better spot for a pre-show dinner. They also offer valet parking, although I'm not sure if you could leave your car there during an event. We took an uber and walked to the venue after dinner.
