Luna Pasta e Dolci Take-Away

Extremely overpriced for the amount of food you get. I ordered the pumpkin ravioli and added chicken — a whopping $8 extra for just seven tiny pieces. You can buy a whole pound of chicken for $10! The food was fine, but definitely not worth the price. Total waste of money.

I did a previous review giving 5 stars but changed my mind after being regular since they’ve opened and like most of business in Miami feeling like they are becoming greedy. Too bad :(

This is one of my favorite pasta spots in Miami. The pasta itself is fantastic, before you even consider the sauce, always made fresh and perfectly al dente. My go-to is the spicy rigatoni with shrimp, the Milanese is my no. 2. Used to live right around the corner, now pop in every few weeks for the takeout, which tastes just as good when you finally get it home as what you get served when dining at the place. Their pasta is magic!

Family run business- excellent food and service. I was double charged for food. (Had lots of trouble with Uber eats). Employees and managers helped me resolve the situation. I had some service failures with Uber Eats and had to come in person to pick up food. I got charged twice for essentially the same order. The people working at this place’s intentions are good. Please just make sure you are correctly placing orders and verify that your Uber driver drops off the right order to avoid mix-ups!

Ordered carry out for the first time and was blown away with the quality of pasta and the flavor of the sauce. I’m excited to try again at the restaurant inside

Best empanadas in Miami, and you would never guess it. Yes, their pastas and sauces are also amazing. See you again soon, Luna! 😘

Delicious, Fast, and the Best people who put Love into the work!

Always great

Amazing hidden gem ... best gnocchi in town !! Will be sure to come back for more. Try the empanadas crispy and flavored !

Came to this place as a friend recommended it. Small, not fancy, ambiance and ok service. I will give a 4.5 out of 5 for that. Food was on the very good side, we had empanadas that were 4/5. The burrata with prosciutto was a 4.8/5. The linguine fra diavolo with shrip nero (ink pasta) was also a 4.8/5. I would definitely include some bread other than the focaccia that was good but just that!!! I would have a real great sourdough or at least a warm "baguette" style bread. Wine glasses were ok, wine list is poor and I would strongly recommend to BYOB at $28. Al in all, we will come back expecting this and having a good time. Cheers Aaa the tiramisu is good 4.5/5 and I would eliminate the decor chocolate they put on the plate.

THE RESTAURANT IS ACROSS THE STREET. Look for yellow circle sign that says 'Luna.' The free focaccia pieces are below average. At least heat it up and give it? - Chicken empanada 5/5 OH SO yummy. It's filled with chicken and I think cheese? But it's not as creamy as you think. Just add for hot sauce and add it on. [RECOMMEND] - Lamb empanada 1.8/5 Definitely not as good as the chicken. The lamb flavor is strong.. - Croquette 1.6/5 Very very very creamy.... VERY.... - Spicy Rigatoni 3.4/5 The sauce was good and average. The noodles were cooked to perfection. Tastes really good when you add the hot oil on it. The shrimp pieces are big and juicy and cooked well. - Golden Plate 2.4/5 Very creamy mushroom sauce. Ravioli-like dumplings filled with some cheese... creamy on top of creamy.. Free parking in lot

Saw this place when I dropped off packages at UPS and decided to order pickup. I ordered the fettuccine alfredo with chicken, fettuccine bolognese, ham and cheese, chicken, and beef empanadas. This location is a pickup place. The fettuccine dishes were good had alot of sauce and meat in them which I like, and it's enough for us to eat now and later. The empanadas were hands down some of the best I've had delicious When I'm in the area I will definitely try other things.

Saw this restaurant on PBS hosted by Michelle Bernstein, Check Please! South Florida Stopped by on Monday lunch hour We ate: Squid ink crab agnolotti (delicious, agnolotti filled with crab filling ) sauce was nice & creamy Pear agnolotti (sweet , savory, topped with caramalized pears ) Dessert: Almond apple tart with scoop of home made ice cream Apple tart was flaky crust , moist, edge crust was crunchy with thin slices of apple They also serve homemade bread with roasted eggplant puree dip that tastes like creamy truffle butter sauce , delicious! ** there's a bakery/pasta section and across the side street, there is the restaurant Waitress was fantastic! She told us there's parking in the back of the restaurant is free. You have to come in & scan a code ; parking is free for 2 hours. If you park behind the bakery/ pasta shop section, it's free but limited parking

I have been wanting to come to dinner here for a while and the experience and food exceeded my expectations! I made a reservation and we were seated right away when we arrived. The ambience is so nice, it's a small, cozy restaurant. The service is great and fast. I ordered "the golden plate" which is their ricotta, and truffle tortellini, mixed mushrooms, truffle with a demi glaze cream sauce, so delicious! It is a small restaurant so I recommend making reservation as I'm not sure how easy it is to get a table as a walk-in. Highly recommend dining here and trying the pasta!

We had no reservation on a Friday night so we got first come seating at the bar. The bar was quite nice and it was entertaining to watch the servers grab and make their drinks. The service was very nice, and I asked for recommendations in which they provided me with some of their most popular dishes. not pictured our appetizer, the Burrata with the mixed greens -this was definitely our favorite dish of the night. The flavor was amazing, there was a nice char on the veggies and they were cooked to perfection. Additionally, they give you so much prosciutto. I highly recommend. The pastas we got the carbonara and the pear ravioli. This was definitely the most savory carbonara I've ever tried. It had so much flavor, and the bits of pork were perfectly crispy. The pasta was a little sweeter than I would've liked, surprisingly this was what was highly recommended by two different servers. Just don't think it was my taste. The next time I come, I really want to try the spicy rigatoni. For dessert, we got the Pavlova. It was one of the most delicious ones I've ever had. Not to mention the presentation was very nice. The berries were fresh and it was the perfect sweetness. Overall, the appetizer and the dessert were the best parts of this dinner. I will definitely be back

I love Luna!!! I have ordered from Luna's on uber eats about 3 times and it always gets to my house super warm and I live pretty far. I recently went last week on Friday and I loved it!!! Their croquetas are exquisite and will make you cry of how good they are. If it's your first time, I recommend their Alfredo pasta and their Carbonara (amazingggg). The service was excellent, our waiter was patient with us and very nice. The music, the place, the food, IT'S ALL AMAZINGGGGG. I can't wait to go back!

Wow, what a cute, little, neighborhood gem! I came here with a friend for dinner and fell in love. The ambience is really welcoming and warm and the staff are lovely, super friendly. The space is not huge, so if you can make a reservation. We ate at the bar and started off with a couple of apps. The burrata verdi was so delicious and a great way to add greens to your meal. The croquettes were perfection. Finally, the golden plate, wow! The flavors were all balanced but the star of the meal was the actual pasta. The pasta tasted so fresh, light, and Al dente. It just elevated the dish so much. This is a go to place to visit now, I'm excited to try more of their pasta offerings.

I had such a lovely lunch at Luna today! It's a relatively small restaurant, so make sure you make reservations! Service was kind and quick. The menu is small but mighty, pasta and empanadas. Who knew those two go hand-in-hand, but it worked! To begin, they bring out foccacia with a dipping sauce that is hard to describe-- a cross between a Caesar and ranch? I was starving and I ordered based on our waitress's recommendation-- the chicken empanada to start. It was stuffed with heavenly chicken and cheese! We both had the golden pasta--the description just looked unreal and it was a best seller. We ate the whole dish! Fluffy pillow pastas in a cream sauce with flavorful truffle mushrooms! I am looking forward to returning to try more dishes immediately.

Normally, I love Luna. The lighting is beautiful, the red sauce dishes are great. In fact, I love it so much that I brought my entire family there for New Years. Unfortunately, the service was extremely subpar. Our waiter's name was Tobias. There were a couple of things: He threw out my mother's Pellegrino by accident. Totally get it, mistakes happen. But he then attempted to upcharge her instead of refilling the glass. In fact, there was a lot of up-selling. He told us the tiramisus were too small to share so we should purchase more, too. I ordered a drink and realized it was not what I expected. After the first sip, I asked if I could get something else or return it. Immediately, he said no. My sister asked if he could see and he simply said, they do not do that. Except they do. I know, because it's happened other times I came here with friends. He finally went to ask the manager after we asked if he could please just see. Luckily, we were able to change out the drink. There were other little things-- he wouldn't let us put entree orders in at separate times, took a plate that still had bread on it away, etc. I get that New Years can be busy though and I can somewhat understand these. I was unfortunately a bit uncomfortable with the service. It felt pushy. As for food, red sauce was amazing and so was the risotto. The person who gave us parmesan wouldn't let me put Parmesan in my risotto, although I said I've had it before that way and like it that way, if possible. He refused because he said it's meant to be without. I responded that I understood, but I've ordered the dish before and this was how I enjoyed it. He only gave it after I asked again, please. The white sauce dishes were a bit more bland than we expected that day. The salmon with golden sauce particularly didn't taste like much. It was bland. Mushroom ravioli had a delicious sauce and so did the spicy rigatoni. Empanadas are always good here, especially the spicy beef. The Nutella tiramisu was sweet but tasted like much more than straight Nutella-- I thought it was great! Even still, I love the food here but I felt really uncomfortable with the tension. Not being able to ask questions or make requests was really awkward and frankly, it's an expensive place to be treated like that. I don't know if I would bring another large group here again or come in person again.

I discovered this spot on Ubereats one night and ordered a few items. The restaurant closes at 10:30, but if you're ordering/picking up from Ubereats, they close at 9:30 and it is located in a different place, which happens to be block away. I ordered the carbonara, the golden plate (truffle tortellini), and the spicy rigatoni. The carbonara lacked bacon, it tasted like eggs and cheese on noodles. The truffle pasta was delicious and super saucy; I'll definitely be ordering this again. The spicy rigatoni was also delicious; I do wish the sauce was saucier. The bread included in the order was seasoned with herbs and super tasty. Parking can be tough if you decide to dine in as there are no parking spots on that street. You will have to park across the restaurant.

Small, cozy, and friendly place The burrata salad was delicious with the pesto on the bottom. The Milanese was perfectly cooked and my girlfriend loved her pasta . All of this with a reasonable price that justified the meal . Will be back :)

Camila is so awesome! the best waitress ever . Great service and yummy suggestions .

My party and I ordered the octopus as a starter, and unfortunately, all three of us experienced food poisoning afterward. The owner initially promised to reimburse our dinner but later failed to follow through, instead denying any issue and questioning our claims. I have documented evidence of my doctor's appointment and diagnosis. I will be reporting this incident to both the Department of Health and the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. I am deeply disappointed by the lack of accountability and the unacceptable treatment of customers.

Overpriced. Bad quality. Terrible ordered from DoorDash and gave me left overs and recooked food. Not even joking Olive Garden is a better option in terms of quality.

Back again! Luna Pasta does not disappoint. This has easily become one of our favorite restaurants. We love the fresh pasta and the phenomenal atmosphere and service to go along with it! Must try if you are in the area, or visiting.

Absolutely divine experience. Went for a simple dinner and this place exceeded my expectations. Delicious pasta, on point service, anticipated all my needs (walked in with a sore throat lady was kind enough to bring me hot water and lemon). Highly recommend! Shame i did not have a chance for a pic of our dinner we devoured it in seconds.

Wow, wow, wow. This is some of the best Italian food I've had in South Florida. Loved everything about my meal here, from the ambiance to the service to the food. Our waitress was as sweet as can be and was super eager to give us recommendations and check in on us, I loved her. We started with the octopus which was a MASSIVE portion and super tender. It was some of the best octopus I've had in a while! For our mains, we got the golden plate and a special with sausage and red sauce- both were delicious! The pasta is cooked perfectly al dente. These portion sizes are no joke either, you definitely get your moneys worth here and will have leftovers. The interior is nicely decorated and intimate, but not overly moody, which I enjoy- IE, you can still see your menu without needing a flashlight. One thing to note is that they do not have a full bar here, only a few specialty cocktails and wine. I loved Luna and can't wait to be back!

I've always been a fan of empanadas, but Luna's empanadas are way above average! Ive heard this is Mia Astral's favorite restaurant, and for the longest time I had been wanting to try it! For our Galentine's party, a friend recently bought an assortment of chicken, beef, cheese and spinach, and i can't stop raving about them. Im usually not fond of chicken, but these were the best chicken empanadas I've ever had, baked, made from scratch daily. Definitely really good quality! I can't wait to visit and try more menu items soon!

This is our second time eating at Luna, and it was just as amazing as our first. Suuuper cozy ambience. They bring you focaccia bread with an eggplant dip that is quite unique. We tried the Spicy Rigatoni and Pacific Salmon, and both were so delicious. The salmon was perfectly cooked. Our service and great and fast, even on a busy night. 10/10 love this place.

I came to the new location the next lot over and loved the look. It's very simple but nice! I've eaten in this area several times and I've always wanted to try this place and I'm so glad I did. The pastas all sounded great but I got the pear ravioli and my friend ordered the spicy rigatoni ( both 10/10!) her spicy rigatoni was not as spicy as I thought, I'm not a big spicy fan so it was better than I expected. For dessert we had the pavlova and it had a sweet jam on top that made it even more spectacular. They serve focaccia bread as a starter and it's the right amount of airiness and saltiness. I highly recommend this place for families and dates. I'll definitely be coming back here!

Luna is just perfect! Super tiny place that is a gem in Miami, starting with their empanadas made from scratch with different options. All their pasta is made in house, same as their sauces. Ingredientes are fresh, I've been here a couple times and it keeps getting better.

I placed an order that said buy one get one free and they only sent one dish. I called and the person who answer the phone, told be that there was nothing he could do. Basically, false advertising... very bad!

We went twice to this little gem in January. I think it can accommodate 2 dozen people. Although it small, it runs smoothly. It reminds me of the trattoria restaurants in Italy. The During our first visit we had the fettuccine bolognese and bucatini carbonara. The pasta is freshly made in house and both sauces were delicious. On our second visit we had the Mafalde pasta, which I particularly liked because the vegetables were so fresh and it was not greasy. In addition, we had fettuccine bolognese and black linguine shrimp fra diavolo. All perfect ! We had house Chianti wine and the Burrata classic as starter. Needless to say, we will be back P. S. There is parking available behind the restaurant

First time finally getting the chance to eat at the new Luna restaurant. Food was great and I love the mid century modern ambiance. The sommelier recommended an amazing white wine to pair with our meal and it's definitely my new favorite white wine (ask for the wine that's similar to a sav blanc). There's parking available in the back which is great since there's no street parking on Biscayne. The Nutella Tiramisu was chefs kiss! My new go to date spot in the neighborhood.

My dog Luna thinks this place is a worthy namesake! I stopped here for takeout last night after wrapping up adulting and preparations for the erstwhile hurricane; I was hungry and not feeling getting cleaned up and fancy. Since I love Italian food and this restaurant was close to the Publix, I came here for takeout. It's even named for my 4 legged child! Besides a full restaurant, Luna Pasta also sells a variety of pastas & sauces for folks brave enough to cook. My well prepared order consisted of perfectly salted prosciutto on a bed of juicy mozzarella garnished with pesto. Coupled with the cheesy ricotta gnocchi - with plenty of marinara sauce - it was a nice and tasty dinner. Couple it with a good merlot and close out with their almond apple pie for a yummy close. The to go order was well packed, and I'd definitely like to check out the cozy and dimly lit restaurant.

Hands down the best spot for pasta in miami. The food never disappoints!!! perfect for date night or family night- they accommodate very easily. They have high chairs and offer side pastas so the little ones can join. The service is super cozy and personal- the waitress' are kind and really recommend things according to the guests preferences rather than just trying to sell you the days special. I have yet to try their empanadas but i get mocked for it by whoever I speak to about this restaurant. Everything is made in house, the kitchen is clean and plates rolling out of there are insanely appetizing. I love finding a spot with good dishes and desserts! will for sure be getting my birthday party cakes here- so many to pick from!

Luna was a hit across the board. This isnt fine dining Italian (thank g-d) but rather a family driven, everything-made-from-scratch style Italian restaurant you feel you might find in a small town in Italy. THE PLACE: small, tiny really, great warm ambiance with extremely nice, warm friendly staff. FOOD: Caesar salad with homemade anchovy-rich dressing was a delight. "Golden Plate" was exceptional. Eggplant sandwich was good but too greasy (seems eggplant always is), next time we'll try another as their homemade Focaccia was outstanding. Free focaccia with dipping sauce was delicious. Pear Agnolotti was the least impressive at sauce was too bland and we really didnt taste any pear (pasta quality was exceptional tho). DESSERTS: Wow, so many delicious homemade offerings! We tried the Nutella Tiramisu and it was good. I found it very food if a bit to cloyingly sweet but my date loved it. WINE/DRINKS: we ordered a glass of their Super Tuscan. Bottle was VERY reasonably priced at $42 as well. It was exceptionally good for the price. PRICES: For Miami, this is a hidden gem in terms of quality to price ratio (QPR). Pastas are $17-25. Salads $12. Wine Glass $12. etc. TIPS: Make reservations, the place is small and might not have a free table. Try their pasta of the house, the truffle sauced "Golden Plate". They have parking alongside and in the rear of the place. If you're trying to have very private conversations, this place is too tiny for that. They also have about a half-dozen grab&go ready empanadas (Argentina style) to try! And lastly, they offer nearly all of their pasta dishes as frozen "Kits" to make at home!

The food is poor quality, the Cesar salad is salt lettuce and mayonnaise, the pasta is nothing special The service is very good, and the ambience is fair

Usually love this place but my last experience was not good. The marinara sauce from ricotta gnocchi tasted like it came straight out of the can & my chicken carbonara had no flavor other than black pepper. Server was too busy to say anything or send it back so we ended up picking at it & telling him to please make a note to the kitchen. So disappointed was an avid regular before but after spending almost 200$ on dinner to throw it out has definitely put me off.

Stopped by to pick up a few empanadas and a tiramisu. What a waste of $10 on a frozen tiramisu. The empanadas are about $4 and tiny. Great service so that is why they get 2 stars, but why would I come back here??? Never again!

My husband and I were in search of a hidden gem of an Italian food restaurant. Both of us were craving for some delicious pasta, so we decided to give Luna restaurant a try. We were pleasantly surprised with the food and service provided. The unique atmosphere, ambiance, and decor added to our overall experience. We are definitely looking forward to going back to try some of their other dishes. The portion sizes were very fulfilling as well.

With a half dozen of more "Italian" restaurants within a mile, the competition is tough. Luna is arguably the best, especially their Bolognese and their lasagna. Don't skip dessert, especially the tiramisu! I make a traditional version and theirs rivals mine!

Another 5 star review for this Italian gem!!! I was SO happy to get a last minute table on a Thursday night. But please reserve a table since space is limited. A family owned Italian restaurant. *chefs kiss* Where do i begin? Maybe at the delicious empanadas we ordered for starters: beef and spinach + cheese Fresh focaccia was also brought to our table. I ordered the pappardelle and my boyfriend ordered the steak which came with a side of fettuccine in the mushroom and cream sauce. The portions were HUGE! Both of us had leftovers. Boy do I wish I saved room for dessert.... All the pasta and sauce is handmade! And you can even pick up fresh pasta and sauce to take home. I loved everything about my date night at Luna and everyone should go check it out!

Came here on a Tuesday for a quick dinner with a friend. Upon walking in the place is very small. I didn't try to make reservations so I am not sure if they take any. The decor is super cute and the vibes are very cozy. We had some white wine. I got the bucatini carbonara. The meat was crispy and the sauce was absolutely perfect. My friend got the porcini mushroom ravioli. She wanted salmon so they let her do a half portion of the pasta and add the protein. It's was delicious and the salmon was cooked well. Overall the service was amazing and very personable. Our waitress was very kind. I will definitely be back to try more things. They also have a board of items they sell for takeout a la carte such as noodles and sauces, so you can cook at home. Definitely worth a try.

Second review for Luna & I will never get tired of it! We went for a nice v-day dinner and enjoyed their lobster special. Their homemade sauce is priceless. Enjoyed some pinot noir which was not too dry, my personal favorite. The steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. It is a bit crowded so make sure you are comfy being in that area & call for reservations just in case!

la comida espectacular, y el servicio increíble, Tobías fue super amable. Lo recomiendo mucho!!

Finding the pickup address and parking was a challenge, the to-go orders were picked up at a different location than the dining restaurant. The food was good, tasty, well prepared, with good portions. The downside was the price, but, this issue is not only attributed to this business...

Came in on a Friday night around 7pm, had no reservations and was luckily quickly seated. The ambiance was nice, great vibes and music. This is a great place to bring your family, friends, significant other etc. We ordered the octopus as a starter and it was delicious! It came with roasted peppers and pesto that were great companions for the octopus. As a main dish, we had the fettuccine Bolognese and the bucatini carbonara. I have to admit that the bucatini carbonara did not cut it for me-- unfortunately the pasta was slightly overcooked and felt a little harder to chew. However the bolagnese was great- probably would order this everytime I visit this place.

We ordered the squad ink pasta with vodka sauce that came with some shrimps and salmon ravioli in a cream sauce base with asparagus. The best part were the two small slices of airy bread included to get every last bit of sauce. I was really craving bread, so getting that included was a highlight. They also included fresh grayed parmesan. The food was super tasty, and there was free parking in the back which is the biggest Miami perk. It was a to-go order, but pick up was easy and the staff were super friendly. The restaurant is in the north end of Biscayne, so it's right by all the old Miami charm that isn't exclusive to South Beach. The seating indoors is dimly lit, but lots of sunlight comes through the front windows if you want to sit near there.

Fresh, homemade pasta is the highlight here--good flavors, though not groundbreaking. A solid four-star spot for comforting Italian fare.

Fabulous food choices created by talented chefs. Every bite was DELICIOUS! Great service!

I live far away so I get Luna on Uber eats and the fact that this fresh pasta not only holds up for delivery, it's perhaps the best I have had in Miami. The good plate is delicious, they are tiny pillows of heaven...and the raviolis are the same. The bread is sooo good also. Great handmade pasta!

Amazing little hidden gem in upper east side Miami. We stumbled into the take out location for dinner one night and the food was amazing and delicious! Steak was cooked to perfection and I can't stop talking about the fettuccine noodles. We ended up catering from here for thanksgiving and wow, did not disappoint. Everything was perfect, so tasty and just made our day easy and stress free. Cannot recommend this place enough. Buon Apetite

The food is amazing! The ambiance is subtle and relaxing. The service is awesome. It's also a great date night spot.

Luna is such a neighborhood gem. The pastas are all handmade and they're honestly some of the best in Miami. Steak and pasta is a weird combination but their filet with the side of pasta in their golden sauce is insane. Can't wait to go back.

Service was excellent Very attentive staff Food was excellent Caesar salad was served cold perfect Delicious Steak parmigiana was terrific Everyone enjoyed their food Four different dishes each top notch Family style restaurant no glitz Just good food in their new establishment

This is the best plate of food in Miami. Hands down. Everything fresh. Friendly staff. Great service. You can smell the food. They had me at the bread!!!!
