"Luna Pasta is a little restaurant in MiMo that serves rich pastas, empanadas, and focaccia sandwiches. Pasta is the main attraction here. There are a dozen varieties on the menu, and we’ve enjoyed all the ones we’ve had, like ricotta ravioli and crab agnolotti. This place is very tiny and can get a little cramped when it’s busy, so it might not be the best option for big groups or a first date. But they do takeout as well, in case it’s looking like a pasta-on-the-couch kind of night." - ryan pfeffer
"Luna Pasta used to operate from a tiny little room in MiMo, but it’s since moved into a bigger spot a mere 300 feet north (the old space functions as a takeout market for fresh pasta, empanadas, and dessert). But everything we love about Luna exists in the new location. There’s definitely an Argentinian influence to the menu (they also have thick alfajores and rotating Argentinian desserts) but pasta is the main event. They use a lot of cream sauces, but somehow the pasta remains delicate and not overwhelmingly rich—as is the case with The Golden Plate, a bowl of ricotta and truffle tortelloni in a demi-glace cream sauce. The new dining room is more spacious, but still very cute and date night-appropriate. " - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo
"The lasagna at Luna Pasta is confusing. At first glance, it looks like a tall, impressive lasagna. But what gives this lasagna its height are fluffy layers of a solidified substance that has the consistency of a soft cheese. They call it “bechamel” on the menu, but it does not look like any bechamel we’ve ever encountered. There are also generous ratios of beef bolognese and a shallow puddle of basil pomodoro sauce. It’s a version that might send a lasagna purist into an existential tailspin, but it’s also really good, and still delivers all the creamy, beefy, cheesy flavors we look for in a lasagna. If you’re after a traditional version, look elsewhere. But if you’re down to expand your lasagna horizons, give it a try." - Ryan Pfeffer, Virginia Otazo
"Bucatini Carbonara Luna Pasta is a little restaurant in MiMo that serves pasta, empanadas, and focaccia sandwiches. During a visit recently, I decided to try the bucatini carbonara. It was pretty darn good - really creamy with a healthy amount of guanciale chunks dispersed throughout. They have about a dozen pasta varieties here, and I plan on working my way through all of them eventually." - ryan pfeffer, carlos c olaechea
