Fresh warm bread
Willainia S.

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.

Orechiette Con Rapini
Gillian S.

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!!!

Pappardelle Alla Bolognese
Carmel P.

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!

Orchiette
Gina F.

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.

Lemon Drop Martini
Erin C.

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!

Gnocchi Di Patate
reilly s.

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.

Mozzarella and Tomato salad
Eugene T.

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

amazing bread
Hajir S.

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.

Gnocchi
Corinne K.

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.

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!

Red Snapper

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.

The Warehouse District has a new upscale spot in town! Recently opening during NBA Allstar weekend…read morein CLE, it has already had the presence of many celebrities come through their doors. The setup has a wow factor as you enter the basement level of the building through a tunnel covered in plants and leading straight to your first photo opp! The circle with pink bench is a cute preview of what's inside. Once you check in with the hostess, enter through a door and welcome to the social club. Beautiful decor that mixes a level of sophistication with a little drama as you see the bright lights. Plenty of seating and even a private room that can be rented out. The drinks are phenomenal and the staff is friendly! The menu offers a mix of unique cocktails (and can be made as mocktail a too) and small bites. Upon recommendation, I tried the F.W. Marg drink. So good! The most unique aspect is the watermelon ice cube. As it melts the drink flavor changes. Creative & fun way to enjoy a cocktail. They open at 5pm, which would be a great spot for chill happy hour. Later in the evening, you'll experience more of a lounge/club vibe. Great edition to downtown CLE!

I'm so happy we did because Stella made sure we had a stellar time (she put the Stella in Stellar? Sorry, nerd status) and the food provided was super fresh and the staff was so attentive. We had a pretty large group all come in at once and they got us through quickly with our first round of drinks! The ambiance is intimate enough where you can step aside to a table for a nice convo or large enough to create a dancing space where we you're at... which was exactly what some of us did because the music was just too tempting. From a more organized event to a late night par-tay mentality, the subtle and eclectic vibes of Lost put you in the right head space. Highly recommend!
