An extra person ended up joining us early on in the meal, and the team was so great about expanding the table and making us comfortable. Our food was so great, from the apps to the entrees everyone loved what they got. The portions are huge and most of us ended up taking some of our meals home. We had a party of 8, and our bill was only about 350 bucks, which is a great price for a large Italian dinner here in the city. From the staff to the space to the food, everything was lovely! Will definitely be back soon!

I'll start with the good: Cute but small local place, cute outdoor seating, BYOB. Food was 10/10 incredible, phenomenal, no notes. Everything was absolutely delicious - we had the dip platter, onion fritter (to die for), roasted carrots, octopus, spanakopita, Margherita pizza, and halibut special (no bacon for our vegetarian friend.) We were very full so not able to try dessert but the list looked incredible. Unfortunately, the service experience truly ruined our night. We had a reservation and were seated quickly, no problem. But from the second we sat down we were rushed and hustled as if there were a line out the door (there was not.) After being asked 3 times in very quick succession, we put in our starters and started on our wine. Not 5 minutes later a different server came to take "the rest" of our order (??) despite clarifying we'd just ordered with someone else, but we still ordered a few more things. Food came out as it was ready which was fine and things were paced well, but we admittedly took our time as we had so much on the table. Unfortunately no one checked in or asked how anything was or if it was prepared as requested. As we started to slow down (only an hour in), we were suddenly rushed to finish -- we indicated we were still clearly eating (albeit slowly) and had just opened another bottle of wine, but started to get asked every few minutes if we were done. After getting boxes for leftovers and indicating no room for dessert, it was made clear despite full glasses of wine remaining that we needed to go and the table was needed, even though there were multiple empty tables both inside and out, and no one was waiting. The one server seemed aggravated and annoyed with us, aggressively snatched our bottle and checks from the table without a word, so we paid quickly and left. I totally understand needing to move along tables on a Friday night, but no one was waiting and we were still enjoying half the menu we'd ordered. Bobby - your food is incredible and would absolutely recommend for that, but service needs some help. Hopefully it was just an off night.

I would have this appetizer again. Soft shelled crab special. Homemade bread The chef/owner Bobby prepared everything wonderfully. The food had great flavors. It is worth it to drive to Philly to eat here. We cannot get Greek food like this around our house. Colin was our waiter, and he was fairly new to this restaurant. I really liked his service. It is a small restaurant. We sat near the kitchen, and I loved our seats, because we could see the food coming out. Great food and service all around!

Luna…read moreBYOB, a well rated Italian Restaurant in the Rittenhouse section of Philadelphia, has been at 227 South 20th Street, since October of 2022, when the owners, Dejvi Furxhi and Denada "Dana" Cami, took over from their former boss's "Casta Diva," at the same space. Deivi Furxhi is the chef and co-owner alongside former Casta Diva colleague, Denada "Dana" Cami. I've never been to Luna, but is HAS been on my radar... I brough a bottle of Rose' with me, to play it safe. I met my server, Dana and asked her to put the wine on ice... I started with the Octopus Stufato. The Octopus was cooked in Vinegar and wine, then simmered with roasted Tomatoes, Capers, Olives and Long Hots. The Octopus was firm but tender and swimming with the roasted Tomatoes, Capers, Olives and Long Hots in the Vinegar/Wine Broth. The broth had a spicy but pleasant flavor, due to the Long Hots. For my main course, I asked Dana what she thought their best dish was. Without hesitation Dana quipped "The Pork Chop!" I was convinced! My friend was too! The Pork Chop was cooked in White Wine with Lemon and Butter and served with Polenta and Broccoli Rabe. It was WONDERFUL! My friend remarked that it was the most tender Pork Chop she ever had! I had to agree! Not only was it tender, but it was plump, juicy and perfectly seasoned and charred, with great flavor! Luna was a GREAT restaurant with exceptional service. We had a REALLY good time!
