    Pomodoro pasta
    Chris C.

    Once again I was traveling on business and we were walking by and heard a man playing the accordion inside. We made plans for the next night and weren't disappointed. The interior has both open areas as well as tucked away window seats. It had a simple Italian ambiance. The owner was very engaged with us and shared his excitement for an upcoming cook off with a chef from asan Francisco. He explained the menu he planned to serve with such passion. We started off with the grilled octopus which was perfectly cooked. I had the lamb shank and my friends had different pasta dishes. Everything was well done and elegantly plated. We fished with two desserts also very nicely presented. We left feeling special as the owner took great appreciation in our conversation and even walked us out. A very nice experience

    Lamb Shank

    Finally got in here to tried the food. Possibly the most opposite experience I ever had with a restaurant. I have to eat my words from my first experience. Great Italian style restaurant, small and intimate. The service was great, the owner himself was serving and shaking hands with the customers. The rest of the staff were fantastic, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable. I ordered were lamb shank, lined with a bed of mash potatoes, and veggies, with the most delicious gravy. I ate the whole thing in about ten mins. Carbonara and Lobster raviolis were ordered as well. Both were excellent, but the lamb shank was the best in my opinion.

    Octopus really yummy

    This is our family's favorite Italian restaurant in Concord. It's perfect for a dinner, a quick lunch, or simply a drink at the bar. The owner, Habib, always greets us with a smile and takes wonderful care of us. It's so pleasant to feel that welcome. Our little one always gets a small extra treat, which really warms our hearts. Alfredo is also nice and very knowledgeable! The food is delicious, no matter what you order. I usually get the mussels and octopus--both are absolutely yummy. It's definitely one of the best options on the plaza!

    Making reservations for Christmas eve dinner was super easy but the website didnt mention a Prix fixe menu for the nights. Know we know. Overall the food was good quality. Braised short ribs were tender and tasty. Chicken carbonara was a bit bland. Salmon was tasty. Soup and salads were delicious. Tiramasu for dessert was super tasty. Worth the visit. Will be back for a regular meal and the normal menu so the wife can try other dishes.

    Mista Salad
    Davis Y.

    Decided to try a new Italian spot in Todos Santos Plaza after living here for about a year. Was able to walk in on a Saturday night and grab a table for two even though it was pretty busy. Started with the caprese and mista salad to share and it was fantastic flavor and great portions. The caprese was a bit plain to me but still okay. I'd probably skip it next time. My wife got the pesto chicken pasta and I got the carbonara. Flavors were incredible and the portion size wasn't your typical "family style" giant bowl - which I appreciated. We finished both plates. Will be going here again!

    We live in Walnut Creek and dine out often. Want try some where new couple nights ago. Thought give this place a try. Lucky pick for the night! We came to Concord quite often but never went to that corner of the street. Inside was very old fashion Italian deco, and they played Frank Sinatra song through the night which is my son's favorite, he loved it immediately. We started with the beat salad, loved the salad dressing very much. It gave the salad a refreshing kick. My seafood cioppino was topped with fresh crab meat but the clam and mussel was a little dry. My son ordered Carbonara and he said it was perfect. Dessert was excellent, very nice presentation, raspberry sauce was not overly sweet. We also asked to added the Mozart liquor to the coffee. It's my favorite way to drink coffee as the dessert. The server, "V" did exactly what we requested for the coffee. He was very friendly and treated every customer like his family member or close friend. Love the place. Good food, good ambiance, great service and a dash of history. We will visit often.

    Located on busy Willow pass road, this is a great Italian restaurant for family and friends. I loved their bruschetta, which are garlic bread with delicious toppings: tomatoes, olive tapenade, and goat cheese. For your entree, I would recommend their Gamberi: crab meat and jumbo shrimp in a garlic white or red sauce. They also feature a great assortment of desserts, such as the lemon cello: tangy and sweet!

    Nice restaurant in the Willow Pass area with ample street parking. Restaurant is not that big, but it's big enough where this place need more than one waiter and one helper. The waiter tried his best, but it was a good half hour before we were able to place our order. There was a gentlemen playing live music which made it challenging for conversation. Overall the food quality is very good. The garlic bread was fresh garlic started the meal well, paired with stuff mushroom and carpaccio. For the app, the fish special (Sea Bass) was cooked well but the portion appeared smaller compared to the beef special (rib eye) that was cooked to a perfect medium rare. Their pasta was top notch and flavor was perfect. Their dessert is something not to miss. I suggest pairing whatever dessert with their affogato (my favorite was the panna cotta and tiramisu).

    Our server was great. He was solo and holding down the restaurant. We go here yearly for holiday lunch with the department. Food is always good and I got desser but I ate it before I could take a pic.

    Pesto
    Joanne M.

    Luna's never fails in the quality of food they serve. We had a wonderful waiter who made us a fresca type drink which was delicious! It began the start of the meal with anticipation of what would be served. Every person enjoyed what they ordered. Only one person would change what they would order the next time we ate here. Let's start. Pesto with pieces of chicken. The person who ordered this lives pesto and makes pesto at home so he knows what truly great pesto taste like. He loved the pesto and cleaned his plate completely, but said, he wished the chicken wasn't added to this pesto dish. Maybe the chicken meat should be on the side or another meat needed to replace the chicken. Perhaps pork or lamb. He would not order this again if chicken was added, but the pesto sauce was so delicious. Meatballs with Linguine This was a big hit with my friend's 7 year old daughter. She ate almost everything and brought the rest home. Normally, she would leave what she didn't like , but not today. I may consider ordering this next time because it is definitely a delicious comfort food I grew up with. Short Ribs If you look at the picture, you can see how delicious it was. The presentation was impressive and the experience eating this was memorable. The person said he would order it again. This person loves meat so if he says he would order it again, you know the dish is worth trying! Pescatore This is a Frutti de Mare type of dish. The tomato sauce base with different types of seafood was wonderful. There was the right amount of each seafood and I enjoyed every bite. I would say this is my comfort food and would order it again. As for the desserts, you can go wrong with any of them. I would have ordered the Creme Brulee,but will order it next time. Luna's Restaurant is consistently good. This is why we like to support it and feel blessed Concord has such an exemplary Italian restaurant! It beats or stands equal to any Italian restaurant in San Francisco. This coming from an Italian Filipino is high praise!

I had made dinner reservations ahead of time. When we arrived we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. The inside had a nice bar and tablecloth covered tables giving off a classy yet cozy atmosphere. We were seated by the window in a cozy and more private space. It was a lovely spot. Our server brought us cold water and menus to look at. While we were looking at the menu, we were brought warm bread and butter. My husband decided to order the Moroccan Beef Tagine and I ordered the pescatore with fettuccine. I don't care too much for salmon and asked if they could please omit it. They offered to give me more shrimp and mussels, which was very nice. I really appreciated that. I'm so glad we made reservations, because the restaurant filled up fast. I definitely recommend reservations when coming here. It's a popular place for the locals. Our food arrived quickly. I was offered freshly grated Parmesan cheese for my pasta. My husband loved his Moroccan beef. I tried it and it was delicious and had so much flavor. My pasta wasn't the best, but just okay. The sauce was very bland, and I had to add a lot of salt to make it taste more flavorful. The pasta was overcooked and not al dente. The worst part was the shrimp. The shrimp were overly cooked and hard to chew. The mussels and clams were very good, though. I would have mentioned this to our waiter but I didn't want to be late to our concert. We didn't heave a lot of time to waste so I ate about half of my dish and made sure to eat all the mussels and clams. If we had more time, I would have asked if I could try something else and I'm sure they would have accommodated me. The staff were very friendly and kind. I would definitely come back and try one of their Moroccan dishes. When I read the review for this restaurant, prior to coming, many people commented on how good the Moroccan dishes were. I can see why, because my husband Moroccan beef Tagine was so flavorful. If we are ever in the area again, we will give Fiore another try.

Such a simple and delicious addition to their menu, it gets my money every time. Both the service and ambiance can change depending on the day and time, but overall our servers are usually decently friendly. It is a family restaurant so we frequently sit next to crying/screaming children. Not their fault, but a note for those looking for a date night spot. The food is great. We get the fried spaghetti squares as an appetizer every time we visit and they are always a hit, especially to those that are new and visiting. As I mentioned before, the vegan ceasar is also a favorite. For mains I like to build my own circle pizza, and others in my group like the square pies. One of my favorite things about Melos is that I can usually request vodka sauce on my dish, whether it's pizza or lasagna. This makes my experience 10x better than other places. They also have a good ranch, which is key for a good restaurant, especially one with pizza. I do wish their prices were a bit lower, but overall it is a good place to splurge a bit. We will continue to return.

Interior is interesting, it's like you're dining at someone's home? Street parking or there are lots nearby with the first hours or so free. Service was good  The Valentines prix consisted of an app, entree, and dessert, some of which are not on their regular menu!!  -bread and marinara (4/5): bread was great, thick slices and nice crust. Marinara was standard -potato-leek puree (4/5): came in a cute little cup to drink out of, good flavor -gamberoni (5/5): prawns were a good size and perfectly grilled. The sauce was a good addition -polette (4/5): meatballs were juicy and the pesto was flavorful and creamy. Interesting thing to have as an appetizer though -fettuccini carne (5/5): I always have an internal struggle about getting a red sauce or a cream sauce, so this was the perfect option as a creamy red sauce pasta. Serving size was good, and there was also plenty of meat and mushrooms, which I loved! Flavor was great! -lamp chop (4/5): good grilled flavor, but one was slightly too raw for our liking so we had to send it back to the kitchen to cook it some more. Our waitress was very understanding though! The mashed potatoes and veggies were also good. -tiramisu (3.5/5): good flavor, but there was wayyy more cream than ladyfinger, so the textural balance was off. And I love cream! -peanut butter chocolate brownie (4/5): really good but also pretty sweet. Loved how thick the whipped cream was, but didn't taste as much peanut butter as I would've liked Overall, I had a great experience for their valentines day prix menu. Food was great and I would definitely go back to try their pasta!
