Since 1990, Chef Seger's use of unique ingredients, homemade pastas, and innovative specials has created a loyal following. His modern flair mixed with traditional culinary skills has created a whirlwind of praise. You will not see seafood options on the regular menu for one reason; All our Seafood is wild not farm raised and we carry ONLY what is available and offer them as our daily specials.

All our meats in our menu have grown and purchased from meat purveyors that there is no use of antibiotics or hormones. Enticing presentation and courteous and professional staff are integral to LuNello's success. We are also excited to offer Wine Dinners and special events hosted in our private event spaces. We look forward to making your experience with us a special one!

Imaginative bites, that are quite substantial. This is one of our favorite restaurants for the thoughtful treatment of ingredients. Service is attentive but not intrusive and can answer any questions regarding the dishes and preparations.

Ashely was an amazing server. Super knowledgeable about the menu. The tomahawk was cooked and seasoned to perfection. My husband asked for béarnaise sauce and they made it for him even though it was not listed on the menu. The Mac and cheese and truffle tots were also flavorful and delicious. I had a specialty spritz (forget the name) and hubby had his standard martini - dirty, dry, 5 olives) which were also smooth and refreshing. Crème brûlée for dessert. They even put a candle in for my husbands 40th. Bill was reasonable - as we are from LI, and the prices are usually higher. The VIEW!!!! OMG 😳 I asked for a table with a view and they did not disappoint. From start to finish we were impressed! Can’t thank them enough for a wonderful experience!
