Dine Like Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce in Las Vegas Super Bowl Weekend | Eater Vegas

"With seating that looks out over the lake at Lake Las Vegas, I would dine at Luna Rossa for thin-crust pizzas, daily homemade pasta, and mesquite-grilled fresh fish — a waterside Italian option for guests staying in that high-end residential area." - Janna Karel

Luna Rossa is another great Italian restaurant in Tewksbury! Conveniently located right off I-93, this family-run establishment is always popular with the locals, and for good reason. The menu offers a wide variety of fresh pasta dishes and hearty entrées, along with delicious, authentic pizzas that keep you coming back. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with bar seating, booths, tables, and even a function room for larger gatherings. Takeout is also available for those nights you want to enjoy their food at home. Parking is easy in the shared lot. Whether you’re looking for a casual night out, a family dinner, or a larger celebration, Luna Rossa delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

This place needs to be on everyone’s top Italian spots rotation! Wonderful food, friendly service, great atmosphere - easily top 5 for my fav Italian restaurants on the North Shore! Janice & April take great care of the bar customers, and David and his team are second-to-none! Can’t wait to go back!

Dinner last evening was very good. Sat at the bar by the kitchen. Very entertaining. Watching the cocktails being made, fire oven pizza, entrees. The kitchen was pumping out some food! Very organized. Friendly wait staff and bartenders. Highly recommend a reservation as this place is always busy.

Over the past year I've heard so much about Luna Rossa and tonight I marked them off the list. I absolutely loved everything we ordered. The sauce was perfect, meatballs were nothing short of special while the Lasagna was a piece of creamy heaven & the Muscles were fresh & tasty¡¡¡ The place was packed¡¡¡ We walked in no reservations, we were told the wait could be 30 mins ended up waiting less than 10. Next time I will make reservations 🤷‍♂️ I would highly recommend this spot¡¡¡¡¡💪💪💯💯 🎯 🎯

This is one of the BEST North End quality Italian restaurants north of the city. The staff was warm and friendly, the quantity of food on the plates were huge and every bite was tasty. Fresh plum tomatoes and fresh seafood in my dish, the arugula pear salad was so good, with the bitterness of the arugula being off set by the sweet pears and blue cheese, the pizza and the desserts were delicious too, Peanut Butter pie and Lemon Cake that was lite and perfect sweetness. We look forward to going back to try other dishes. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Let me start off by saying this place became my top 2 fav places to go in the area alongside Ithaki Mediterranean Restaurant. The first time my husband and I came with our friends who introduced us to it. I wasn’t sure what to expect from a place in a shopping plaza. The minute we walked in the first time, I was impressed at how nice it looked. Well, the food came and I was blown away. It was so simple and so delicious at the same time. The drinks were on point and service was great. Everyone was so friendly. A few months passed and I had a craving for pasta bolognese. I decided to check the place out again. I was hoping it was going to be as good as the first time. Let’s just say I got blown away again 😁 The service was great, we got greeted by the bartender who was kind and made us feel welcome. The pasta bolognese hit the spot! 10/10 will be coming back again.

Great pizza Host was rather confused when we arrived didn't greet us and seemed as if we were there for take out. Was probably distracted by her Snapchat she was on while attempting to seat us??? When we asked for a booth she told us we would have to wait for it to be cleared and she wouldn't know how long that would take. We told her we were fine with waiting and she returned to her Snapchat and we suddenly sat there for 15 min and non existent. Wish we got sat earlier since the tables were cleared and waiting. Will be back for the pizza however I hope you guys find helpful staff

Good food and great service! Got the Abruzzi Pizza that had homemade sausage. The dough was light and had a nice crisp bottom. A lot of homemade products on their menu.

We called for a table for 5 on a busy Saturday night and were told we could get one in 5 minutes. When we arrived we were seated right away and the Server couldn't have been nicer. They were so busy but the drinks and food came out sooner than we expected and the food was great! Thanks for an amazing experience!

Went there last night for a birthday party of seven. The food, as always, was fantastic, but the service was surprisingly disappointing. We noted the reservation was for a birthday, yet the hostess didn't acknowledge it or seem interested. At the end of the night, she simply dropped off the check without asking if we wanted another round of drinks. I actually had to go up to the bar myself to get a drink for both me and the birthday girl. For the amount of money we spent, I expected much better service.

We recently had lunch at Luna Rossa in Tewksbury, MA- It's a beautiful spot inside- located in an assuming strip mall in Tewksbury. The service was amazing. Our server was fast and very friendly. The food was good. I ordered a Caesar Salad and added grilled chicken. The portion was great, but the dressing could've had a little more flavor. All in all, a good lunch. Would recommend.

Bread and oil provided at the table was the best we have had in ages. The antipasto was fresh and filling and it included top notch cold cuts, roasted red peppers and other assorted Italian delicacies. My linguine with meatballs was not like Nonna made. The meatballs were hard. My wife had lasagna and the presentation was not what she expected. The service was very good. The lemon cake for dessert was top notch. Parking tends to be tight. The restaurant was very clean and pleasant.

Had an early dinner on Sunday. The bread and dip are 10/10. Husband had traditional pasta and meatballs. He enjoyed. I thought the lasagna was mediocre at best. Great service.

Had a lovely experience here recently! My husband and I came here for a private function/birthday party. Food was served "family-style" (which I love) instead of the buffet-style they usually have at these types of events. Everything was delicious but the standouts were the salad, meatballs and raviolis. The salad dressing was so good, I could have drank it by itself. And those meatballs were some of the biggest I have ever seen! Not only were they huge, but they were also fantastic! The raviolis were pillowy-soft and just melted in your mouth. Based on this experience, I would definitely recommend checking this place out!

Second time eating here. Got the chicken parm. Sauce had no flavor and tasted like a can of tomatoes. Pasta was dry and the cutlet parm was bland and dried out. Tried the garlic bread which were toast slices butterd and broiled. They didn't even bother to season both sides of the bread. Tasted like nothing. No hints of garlic or herbs. I would have been better off with boxed pasta and a jar of sauce. Not worth the money.

Got a large cheese here the other day. Asked for well done. Came out awesome! Good crisp and char without compromising flavor. Cooked really well. Not runny. Very filling but lightweight. 8.5 outta 10. Only thing lacking was the sauce could be a bit more flavorful. Still really good and I am getting it again soon!

Lunch was awesome! Took my Wife and my Sister here and we were treated like family!. The food was incredible. I had the meatball appetizer (yum), then a chicken and prosciutto sandwich with fresh mozzarella and roasted peppers. The Ladies split a veggie flatbread and it looked incredible. Extensive menu offerings can't wait to go back and try something else

We recently hosted a luncheon for 60 plus people at Luna Rossa after my mother's funeral. They served broccoli and chicken pasta, sausage and peppers, marinara, salad, bread & cookies for dessert. The atmosphere was perfect...we had a good sized private area with a dedicated bar and plenty of space to socialize. The server and bartender were polite and attentive. So many relatives and friends commented on how delicious the food was. David was easy to work with, and very responsive during the planning. And the price was incredibly affordable. My sister and I highly recommend Luna Rossa!

Service was absolutely outstanding! For how busy it was on a Thursday evening, our server was very attentive, patient, and kind. It did get very busy and as it got busier it was extremely loud in the dining room. The food was mediocre. Most of the dishes we tried lacked flavor.

We had chicken parm, garlic/oil angel hair, and margarita pizza. The pizza was perfect! Sauce was just right. The crust was crispy and chewy at the same time. Really enjoyed the food. Service was also really good. Our waiter was attentive but not overly so. The only issue I had was the cost. $11 for a small side of pasta is a bit much. Pizza was typical price ~20 bucks for a large. We did have the zabaglione (sp?) dessert. Very good, but $12 for a small bowl also a bit expensive. Not sure if we'll come back. Food was good just can't see spending that much for those few items.

Had another phenomenal dining experience here last night with my husband. From the welcoming staff to the delicious food Luna Rossa always comes through with the utmost consistency. We enjoyed the Halibut special with its an amazing orange citrus kiss! Accompanied by the perfect bottle of wine and a lovely espresso martini for dessert, they made a Saturday night out ever so special. We can't wait for the next experience with this staff and classy owner, David!

Great lunch in Andover! Loved the eggplant rollatini! Very thinly sliced eggplant, rolled with ricotta cheese with a DELICIOUS house made red sauce! Also had a yummy, copious salad and added chicken which was flavorful and moist! Reasonably priced, casual atmosphere and FAST SERVICE! Definitely will be back!

Had my daughter's bridal shower here yesterday. I was so pleased with the whole experience, starting with owner David who was very helpful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious! Best Tiramisu I ever had. Loved the eggplant rollitini. Room was set up nicely. I would highly recommend hosting an event there.

We went here Saturday night. The restaurant is in a strip mall. Service was very good, the food was fair. The portions are samll and it seems a little overpriced for what you get. I ordered the Linguini Frutti De Mare. It only had 2 Shrimp, 4 Mussels, a few Calamari, and 3 scallops. It was $31.99. Much too expensive for the size of the meal. It is very loud and hard to have a conversation without yelling. We will not be returning.

YES. A LOCAL HIDDEN GEM. My family and I dined in this past weekend for the first time and we were IMPRESSED. With a few of us working in the industry we can say this place gets it right. Why come to the North end when you can just come to Tewksbury? Loved the vibe, mom and pop, open kitchen with an inviting atmosphere. I am shocked to see negative reviews on here saying staff was rude or for people writing about things that may have happened outside of the restaurant's control, leaving them no choice but to close and then having people go bash them with negative reviews. Blows my mind, especially in times like these, please do yourself a favor and ignore these reviews. Every single person we encountered was very friendly, professional, and warm. The young hostess working the door was on it! April our server was SO kind and patient! We had someone in our group with allergies and she was very accommodating and understanding . We started with the arancini and bruchetta apps. SO DELISH, and awesome portion sizes for the five of us. My fiancé got the half chicken, for me and my future sister in law the gnocchi, and I forget the names of the dishes that my future mother in law and brother in law got but both were pasta dishes and unbelievable. THE SAUCE was addicting. One of the best I've had. (Don't let my mom see this). For dessert Tiramisu and Lemon Cake - Again both fresh and delicious. The owner / chef stopped by our table to see how everything was and tell us a little bit about the place, we thought that was a very nice and classy touch. True hospitality. It wasn't just us, he personally table touched every table and made his rounds bussing and helping out his staff. Working in the industry, this doesn't go unnoticed. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back, to the hostesses, wait staff, kitchen staff, bussers, bartenders, bar backs, and the owner, WE SEE YOU. Thank you for giving us such a great night out with great food! Support Local. Bravo!

Have ordered here for delivery before so decided to try them in person on a very early Saturday. Got the arancini- nope. Very dry with minimal flavor. Need a lot more sauce just to give them flavor and moisture. Then Got a side of angel hair with garlic and oil. Really good. Wish they were consistent. Service was good. I sat at the bar.

Great Italian food. Pizza, calamari, chicken parm, everything looks good. All tasted great. I will definitely go again. The price is very reasonable. The place is homey, small and busy. So expect to wait specially if you are only two people. Or u can sit at the bar.

Service was excellent, above what you would expect. she deserves 5 stars. The food was sub-par. My lasagna was ice cold, reheated in what I can imagine was a microwave. it was beyond hot. The server took it off the bill. But still, it was unacceptable. My husbands pizza was fine. maybe I am being to critical, but the server told us the kitchen staff wanted to get out of there. as I said the female server was outstanding. we should have gotten Pizza Bar.

I have been here numerous time for both dine in and takeout. Tonight I ordered my standard Rigatoni Bolognese (take out) but added a side salad thinking I could take it for lunch tomorrow. I have never seen such a pathetic salad! I paid an additional $5 for shriveled up lettuce, 2 slices of red onion, 2 grape tomatoes and one slice of cucumber. Fortunately the pasta was good... no lunch for tomorrow though.

From the service to the ambiance to the food, this place is wonderful! No need to go to the North End for some tasty Italian food. Our waitress was friendly and attentive. The menu has plenty of options to choose from as well as gluten free options (my diet). Entrees come to about $18 on average. I ordered the bolognese with a dollop of ricotta on top and it was phenomenal. If you are hungry, it is a good sized portion, although I finished the whole meal. The flavors in the dish were everything without being overpowering or having too much oil. The other people I was with ordered baked haddock, salmon, and one of the specials which was sea bass. The presentation on those dishes were incredible, alongside the vegetables. The server was so attentive to my allergy and remembered all of our names. Finally, we decided to order dessert and they were just enough to satisfy our evening. The only gluten free dessert is the flourless chocolate cake and it was tasty! If you like a rich moist and fudgy cake rather than a more cake texture, you will love this. I will definitely be back to try the other dishes!

The career of an Elite Yelper is like having kids. With the first one, you buy books, see what others are doing, and follow a formula. If the kid swallows a hair, you call 911, an exorcist, and the National Guard. As soon as you get the Yelp Elite badge, it feels like you need to take an urgent dump if you don't write a review for every business you patronize. It could be for something that doesn't need to exist. Jenkem G. (reviewing Diego Projects subway station): "Came here to score a little h. Dealer was rude but got high as shit and that's the point innit, lol. Wish I could give 50 starz!" Phew. Saved from badge-stripping. Fast-forward . . . By the time your fourth kid is two, she's taking her pet viper to the veterinarian in an Uber she called. By year 3 of Elite status, you start a review comparing foie gras to unwashed balls. The reader comes away with barely a glimpse into that French joint but holds a Ph.D. in your musky sack. So be glad I'm keeping this short. The sausage, white bean, and broccolini appetizer at this beautiful place is the perfect size and balance of everything. The sausage is the right balance of fatty and springy and it's not too salty. Broccolini is one of the world's greatest sides and mixed in with mouthfuls of that springy sausage and soft white bean, it is an immensely pleasing mouth feel. A lot of other items on the menu are standard Italian-American fare. This dish was the result of someone's creativity. Our waitress was so cool, I wish I could remember her name. She's an older lady who bothered to ask us our names and remembered them. The restaurant is spotless, with beautiful ambiance, and comfortable booths that don't require a fucking booster seat to look at your table-mates. The bar is a beautiful place to chill and strike up a conversation. I loved this spot so much, I am going back even if I have to drag Miss K there over a 90-minute bus ride.

It's been quite sometime since we've dined here because it's on the other side of town for us and we always forget about it but decided to give it a try tonight (a Saturday around 4:30p) because we had heard they had renovated. Upon arrival there were two gentlemen at the hostess desk and we did not get a very warm friendly welcome from either. We were seated in a booth and given menus. Our waiter came over shortly to offer water and any additional drinks (we chose to stick with tap water) and he informed us of the specials. He returned shortly to take our orders: two side salads with the balsamic dressing on the side, Eggplant Parm with ziti for the hubby and the linguini frutti di mare for me. Complementary bread and a tomato based oil for dipping was served. Very disappointing that the bread was not hot . Then our side salads arrived. Pretty basic salad of romaine, two cucumber slices, two cherry tomatoes and one red onion ring. It probably took about 20 or more minutes after we finished our salads before our entrees arrived. Hubby was more than satisfied with his eggplant Parm stating the Parm was so tender and the sauce was perfect, not too sweet nor savory and the right consistency. My frutti di mare was also excellent. A very fair portion of seafood: about a dozen mussels, squid, two scallops, two shrimp over piping hot linguine with a red sauce that was perfectly spiced, not too hot and not too mild. Based on tonight's experience, we would say our entrees were a 5, salad and comp. bread were nothing to rave about so a 3, service just wasn't welcoming. Our server was not unfriendly but we just didn't find him very warm and welcoming. Although our water glasses never went empty, we wouldn't say he was attentive as he never came to check on us during our entrées. The staff seemed very friendly to patrons they knew but not to those they didn't and that just doesn't sit well with me as a person in the service Industry so for that, we couldn't rate them a 5 overall. We would definitely return again for the food and keep our judgments open about the service.

We ordered take out from here and got a salmon risotto and 2 penne chicken Alfredos and one Caesar salad. It cost $100, which to me is way overpriced. The salmon was cut into pieces throughout the risotto and still had the skin and fat on it. I actually feel ill after eating it. The flavor of the food was mid, certainly nothing to write home about. I asked for bread and they included it, but didn't include any butter or oil. They also didn't include utensils, which was a problem for us since we were staying at a hotel. I would not go back.

Always so delicious. Have been going to this place for years. Love that it's a family owned business. Wish the hosts/hostesses didn't wear jeans/such casual clothes because if they aren't standing behind the desk, I can't tell they work there. But hey! That's a minor problem! I will always go here. Even get my catering from here. Love Gino and Michelle the best. I believe they've been there the longest too! Cannot recommend this place enough!! Homemade pasta, specials every day, friendly owner that clearly cares about his business, and another section now to have private functions! 10/10

We come here often and the food is always 5/5! Tonight we sat at the bar and had Krista (the fabulous bartender) taking care of us. She was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and took care of everyone in a timely manner despite a fully packed bar. Dave, the owner, came by to say hello and checked in on our dinner. He made his way around the dining room and checked in with the other guests. Our favorite dishes are the calamari, Luna's homemade meatballs, orecchiette with sausage/broccoli rabe/sundried tomatoes, and the frutti di mare. I hold a private event here every spring with 100 people and I will continue coming back every year. The new private function space is beautiful, accommodates my large group, and offers my guests full/direct access to the bar. Dave does a great job putting the menu together and his team delivers above and beyond service year after year.

So I had heard from people that since one of my favorite go to American Italian restaurants had closed, to try this place. So we did. No lines no waiting on a Friday night. Thought that was a little odd and quite honestly that scared me at first. But we were seated promptly in a booth in the back. The place is on the smaller side. It would be small if you decided to have something large like a baby shower. Just saying. Beautiful bar. Beautiful artwork on the walls as well. We were greeted by an incredibly sweet and wonderful waitress. I never got her name, but she's from my hometown in Medford. We chatted about that at one point. And it both made us laugh I ordered the gnocchi and he got A pizza with fresh mozzarella on it. Both were really really good. Both had really good sauce, clearly homemade, and nicely on the garlic side which I like. We ordered meatballs to start as well as a Capri say salad. Both were really yummy. Two big meatballs for your appetizer, and the Caprese salad had a beefsteak size tomato that was just fresh as much could be. They also give you oil to dip your bread in that has Parmesan and a little bit of red pepper flakes in it. Yum Yum Yum. We came out of there for two people for $50 without drinks. That may sound high, but given the fact that we ordered appetizers, they could take the place of the drinks and cost. Will go back

This was both a reunion and a farewell dinner. A reunion because we finally were able to go out to dinner as a normal couple with some friends and have a delightful meal, a parting because that very couple was moving permanently out of state. So picking Luna's as the place for our last encounter in MA turned out to be an excellent choice. Between the four of us we had two appetizers, three separate entrees (two people got the same meal) and one bottle of wine. The appetizers were the Calamari (with optional pepper rings) - perfectly cooked, tender, not greasy, with the banana peppers offering just the right amount of zing! We had this along with our favorite, the Eggplant Rollatini - a magnificent mouthful of eggplant, asparagus and ricotta. For the entree I had the Chicken Francese - I know, a bold move to order chicken at an Italian restaurant known for its pasta dishes. But it didn't disappoint. Three chicken cutlets lightly battered in a simply delectable lemon caper white wine sauce, mmm. With a scanty side of 4 small (yes four) sliced rosemary potatoes (very good though), and sautéed escarole. To. Die. For. This is how we usually make spinach at home, none of that boiling nonsense. But I could have had a bowl of this as my meal and been very, very happy. I know we can't give Luna Rossa credit for the wine, other than the fact that they had it, they suggested it and it was a very nice compliment to the meal. It was the Katherine Goldschmidt Cabernet Sauvignon from Crazy Creek Vineyard, 2018 I think. Our waitress, I am sorry to have forgotten her name, was wonderful and attentive, though there were a couple of times she seemed to drop out of sight for a little too long. I had dropped my napkin and she said she would be right back with one, it never appeared, but hey, it looked like the restaurant was actually busy on a Wednesday night, so that was ok. The killer thing was that she went to one of the other people in our party and asked about dessert and she said no - but she didn't ask the rest of us! I was fantasizing about a cappuccino and a cannoli but I probably didn't need it. But she should have asked the entire table. Lastly, the social distancing. Customers seemed genuinely respectful, and all wore their masks when not at the table, as did the staff, but we couldn't help but notice that some of the tables were not quite a minimum of six feet apart in the function area. They had QR codes for you to call up the menu on your phone, but also had paper menus for the asking. Very nice. All in all, it was a very good first outing. Kudos to Luna Rossa for getting back into the swing of things.

We have seen this restaurant and have been dying to try it, but see all the cars, and say, oh, it's really crowded maybe we'll go another time. Well, we finally tried it! We got there at about 8:30 so the crowds we starting to thin. We asked for a booth, and was seated immediately. What a nice restaurant inside! Beautiful murals on the wall, of different entertainers all enjoying "Italian Food". The booths are cozy with beautiful lamps on the wall for each booth. Very nice touch. The bar area has a modern vibe with orange lights that are the perfect touch. There are also tables there as well. Our waiter Kevin, came over and took our order. He was VERY knowledgeable of the menu, and when I asked him to tweak my meal, there was no hesitation! I ordered Apple Martini, Chicken Francese (which they changed from the egg battered chicken to chicken cutlet chicken, thank you very much). It came with Sauteed Escarole and Roasted Potatoes, (instead of the usual pasta you see everywhere). My husband ordered Veal Parmesan which came with homemade Penne. He was a little leery because normally he doesn't like home made pasta. The waiter brought over some bread with Sun Dried Tomato dipping sauce...delicious, perfect dipping sauce, and what a change from the usual oil and garlic. Our meals came out, we tasted them, and "BOTH" of us said "at the same time"...OMG this is super delicious! Mine was super crispy chicken in a "perfectly", lemony thin sauce... Perfect....The potatoes were cooked to perfection, and even though I didn't think I was a fan of Escarole, this was super delicious! I am now a fan of Escarole! Who new? My husbands Veal Parmesan was super tender, crispy, tasty, and the sauce was perfect. Marinara at it's finest. He loved the home made Penne also. He really enjoyed the entire dish! He knows Veal Parmesan because that's mostly all he orders at Italian restaurants. It's very hard to go to a restaurant that the BOTH of us enjoyed our meals so much!......We will definitely be back!.

Great local place for Italian. Always enjoy the chicken parm and eggplant r. It's tucked away in a corner and always has a good environment when sitting down for a meal.

Our 1st time there , have to say the food was delicious, but our waitress was horrible and kind of rude, I have never been out for a dinner and was in and out in 30 min that was having a drink salad and dinner, was never told the specials only know they had the because I over heard another waiter telling his table , when we asked what kind of dressing they had , she said have u never been here before we have blue cheese and vinergrate, time for the check she dropped it on the table but she made sure to tell us the total amount before our gift card

My husband and I dine here at least once a month and it is always consistent. Best Italian in the area!

Excellent excellent meals. First rate Italian food. Do need reservations on weekends. 6 of us were very pleased with our choices. Fruiti De Mare, pastas with shrimp, risotto, and swordfish special. Desserts were luscious. Wine list was wonderful. Loved the Riesling. Glad they have espresso. Our waitress Linda was terrific. Can't wait to come back.

This was a wonderful place to have my daughter's graduation party. We had a dinner buffet for our daughters graduation. It was wonderful. David was great to work with, and Jake and Alicia were spectacular wait staff. I can't recommend Luna Rossa enough! We've never had a bad meal here, and every is always friendly and attentive. Thank you, David and staff for more than one happy memory at your restaurant!
