I have to give credit when it's due! Last night, my girlfriend and I went out for some food and drinks. She was craving Italian, so we decided on Café Luna--and we're so glad we did. We sat at the bar, and from the moment we arrived, the experience was excellent. The bartender was absolutely amazing--friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive without being overbearing. He made us the most delicious drinks that really set the tone for the night. We ordered our food and everything came out perfectly cooked, fresh, and full of flavor. From the first bite to the last sip, everything exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxed night out. Overall, an outstanding experience from start to finish. Great service, great food, and great vibes. Easily 5 stars--we'll definitely be back!

Margherita pizza
Stania C.

I came here for the first time for dinner on a Saturday night. We made reservations for 6:45pm and I definitely recommend a reservation because this restaurant is popular and I saw plenty of people waiting to get seated. Also from my observation there is no waiting area. There was a crowd of people standing around waiting to be seated. Even with reservations, there was a slight wait, but the hostess told us that we could wait at the bar which we did. While at the bar, I decided to grab a cocktail. I got a cocktail called Hugo which was a muddled and cucumber cocktail with lime Hendricks gin, St Germaine , prosecco, and a splash of soda/ Mint. I'm not much of a drinker so I'm not the best when it comes to my knowledge of alcoholic beverages. But the Hugo cocktail was more of a refreshing cocktail and not very sweet. I personally couldn't finish the whole glass because I started to feel it but again my tolerance may be lower than others. Once we were seated, they brought out some complementary bread. For an appetizer, we decided to split the Margherita pizza. I decided to have a slice of the pizza and it was actually pretty good. For my main entree I got the Pappardelle Bolognese and I definitely recommend it. It was actually very tasty. My sister got the Rigatoni Vodka Gallucci and our friend got the Fettucine Carbonara. I got to sample both of their pasta dishes and both were delicious. So honestly, you can't go wrong with either three of those pasta dishes. The service was actually very excellent so I have no complaints in that area.

This will definitely have to be my go to Italian restaurant in New Jersey. Starting off the service was immaculate from the hostess to the bartender to our waiter. Everyone was very pleasant. Next the food was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful. The Margherita pizza was a great way to start off our meal and the portions were enough for three. For our entrees we indulged in the restaurants many selective pasta options. I had the rigatoni and it was to die for. I also took dive into the bolognese and carbonara which were also superb. I feel like either option is a hit. Also, I highly suggest reservations because this spot does get busy.

Food is great!! Service is great!!! We been here once and loved it!!! We are super picky with our restaurants and will definitely be back to this one !!!

In a word, just don't. Ok, two words. Big disappointment on all levels. We went for lunch and it was nearly empty. It's a nicely decorated place, no issue there. However, they did not turn the heat on, or barely had it on. We were all freezing! It was literally warmer in the restroom! The food was nicely presented, but the taste was below par. Tiramisu looked amazing, but it was bland and barely sweet. Certainly no espresso nor liquor in it. One coffee came twenty minutes after they brought desert. We ordered veal which was drenched in sauce to cover up a raw tasting piece of meat. The best part was our waiter who was incredibly polite and friendly. He did the best he could, under the circumstances.

I stopped by the bar at 5:00 PM and ordered a Cosmopolitan. It was $13, made properly, and tasted…read moregreat--thanks to Cheryl. I left shortly after to attend a sports game and returned around 9:00 PM. Upon returning, I ordered a shot of vodka, then asked Cheryl for another Cosmopolitan. Her response was, "Well, you just had a shot of Tito's." I replied, "Okay, well I would like a Cosmo." I then watched her pour a splash of Tito's into the shaker. After receiving the drink, I paid via Apple Pay and asked for the receipt so I could leave a tip. Cheryl informed me that she had already tipped herself 20%, which I found inappropriate and unacceptable--tipping should be at the guest's discretion. I returned to my table and took a sip of the drink, only to realize it tasted like juice. I had several friends with me, many of whom are experienced bartenders or servers, including myself, and they confirmed it was not a proper Cosmopolitan. Upset that Cheryl had added a tip without my consent and served a drink that clearly lacked alcohol, I approached her to express my dissatisfaction. Rather than addressing the issue professionally, she gave me attitude and stated I shouldn't have been drinking before my sports event. She did offer a replacement drink at no charge, but again, it was just juice. Meanwhile, Cheryl and Alex were seen discussing the situation behind the bar, which only made the experience more uncomfortable. I want to make it clear that I will return to Sammy D's, but I will not be ordering drinks from Cheryl or Alex again. Additionally, I do not believe bartenders should be drinking on the job, and if Cheryl had been sober, this experience might have gone differently.

Cozy place. It feels to be at home for the familiar atmosphere…read more It's a liquor store with the bar included.

Our waiter did not come to take our order until a good 35-40 minutes after sitting, not a huge deal but a notable delay. What irritated me during dinner was we were asked if we'd like dessert while 2 people were still eating their meals, followed by the check immediately arriving- no etiquette. While paying and wrapping up the staff were directed to clear the table, this was obvious. For full drinks to be removed without asking is unacceptable. It was as if we weren't even sitting there the manner they were clearing. Again it was obvious the direction of the manager, they needed the table. Try being efficient to start instead of creating a rush at the end if overbooked and delayed. It's classier than putting a check on a table with people eating and rudely clearing drinks. Will not be returning. There is better up the road with real management and service.

As they were both FIVE STARS you'll be okay…read more Visit one: Last month I was feeling frisky ::meow:: after a work event at the courthouse and wasn't ready to go home. I literally said to myself as I drove around Somerville that I wish there was a wine or cocktail bar for...mature people like myself to chill at. So I looked up wine bars and boom - VintEdge was right down the street. I came in around 9pm, picked a comfy seat by the window, and ordered. Can you believe I had never had an espresso martini until that evening?? So my first was a pumpkin espresso martini. Well I may have had 2. And another drink. Ahem. The service was great, not fussy, and I wasn't rushed even as we approached last call. Visit 2: having heard about my great experience there alone, my cousin arranged to meet me there last week. Or so she thought. Through a series of mutual miscommunications, I was here at the crib waiting for her, while she was at the wine bar waiting for me. Once we figured that out, she got us some food to go and we ate here at home. Verdict: -excellent seating options - stools, couches, chairs -food is so so good. Tartare, truffle fries. Fig jam pizza -drinks include awesome bottles and seasonal takes on old favorites This could be my new spot.

The vibe is trendy and the dining room has a cool, moody club feel to it. However, if you're coming here for a great culinary experience, you might want to look elsewhere. I actually took Afrin before going out just so my sinuses would be clear and I could fully taste and smell this meal and it still tasted like something you would get from the Backrooms. It isn't necessarily "bad," but it literally just tastes like the bare minimum concept of edible food. Absolutely nothing on the menu including the cocktails is going to knock your socks off. I ordered the steak, and it was incredibly mediocre. It completely missed the mark on tenderness and severely lacked any real seasoning it was literally just steak flavored. Honestly, Texas Roadhouse cooks a way better steak that literally blows this place out of the water. Ultimately, this is a spot that relies on its club atmosphere to sell very expensive, incredibly average food. We spent over $300 on this meal and left so disappointed that I told my wife we are going to do a birthday "do over" so we can celebrate at a place with actually good food. Come here for the scene and the crowd, but don't expect the food to match the price tag.
