Casa came through for me in the best way on my birthday. It ended up being a last-minute decision after I slept through my original reservations, but they were open late and incredibly accommodating. I asked for a window seat since I was dining solo, and they made it happen with no hesitation. The service was impeccable, as always. I decided to try something new and ordered the ribeye (my first time having one), and it absolutely did not disappoint. The real surprise was the tiramisu that came out with a candle. Such a thoughtful touch, and honestly meant a lot given the transition phase I'm in right now. The staff really made the night feel special. I've also been here for happy hour, and it's just as solid. Definitely a go-to spot for me, especially now that I live so close.
We had a very enjoyable meal at this establishment. Our server was very attentive and helpful in making some of our selections. They brought us oil and Parmesan cheese for dipping with the bread that was spicy. I'm not a fan of the spice in the oil, but my wife enjoyed that twist. She had shrimp and clams over linguine which was slightly overcooked, but was still very tasty. I had Tagliatelle with red sauce that combined duck and wild boar to make a beautiful Bolognese. We had an excellent bottle of wine from Abruzzo that was reasonably priced. It was a good choice if you're in the area and it was very busy as the night went on. They say the dress code is business casual, but I would say that it's step below that and that we saw people there in very casual attire.
I very rarely give any place 5 stars!! Casa la Luna was freaking amazing!! Our party was trying to coordinate arrivals and the water Mark was so patient and told us the table was ours for the night and not too worry. He had great recommendations and discussed the menu as if he'd tried everything on it. He customized my martini when I said I wanted something sweeter. The bread was divine and the oil slightly spicy. My scallops were perfect. Oh and before I forget --order the sacetti appetizer!!! I probably didn't spell it correctly, but our whole table pronounced it the best thing we've ever tasted. Every table we passed seemed to have ordered it. I can't even. Desserts were also great. Too much fruit when I just wanted sugar- I have the sweet tooth of a toddler elf. I'm so very sad this place is not in my town. Views of the lake and downtown were as beautiful as the food.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.

Always fun coming here to celebrate any occasion....i love the complimentary picture you get here. Small unique gesture that goes a long way! The free bread came out piping hot and fresh and is delicious! The osso bucco and their truffle classic sacchiette is delicious. I do with their other pasta dishes had more flavor and seasoning but still a great meal! read more

We came to Casa La Luna to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and the staff was incredibly accommodating they even took a great photo of us for the memories! For dinner, I ordered the Chicken Picatta, and my best friend had the shrimp cocktail and stuffed ravioli. Everything was delicious and I highly recommend this place for a celebration or a date night because the nighttime ambiance is wonderfully moody and romantic. We will definitely be back! read more

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 . read more

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. read more
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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more
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 read more

Are nice shorts (golf-type) acceptable for men?
Yes - it's a nice restaurant but it doesn't have to be completely formal. As long as there are no rips or tears I think even jeans would be acceptable.
