“I’m the owner and the chef, so I’m always here,” he says in his lyrical Mediterranean accent. “It’s nice to do business with locals.”

Jacifi describes his menu as a blend of new and old: “You get old-school tastes with a modern presentation.” The restaurant specializes in northern and southern Italian standards like saltimbocca, chicken cacciatore, and risotto. But the eighteen-year-old Luna takes these familiar dishes very seriously. Redoune, partner and co-chef Hafid Tadri, and co-chef Habib Jacifi don’t so much replicate the old standards as define them.

Take the fettuccini with Bolognese sauce. Many restaurants make a Bolognese; few do it well. Like the sly smile on the lips of Leonardo da Vinci’s famous lady, this brick red sauce reveals a depth of character beyond its simple appearance. Carrots, celery, and onions add a layer of sweetness, while bacon contributes a sultry, meaty backbone.

The food was really great and the service was very good. The ambience wasn’t as good since staff looked overwhelmed, and the lights were bright and no music playing when we first got there.

Luna is one of our very favorite restaurant. First we are always warmly welcomed by Habib, the chef/owner, whose aim is to please his customers. He made sure we had a great table in a corner. The food was again very good, mussels, lamb shank, lasagna, crab ravioli and more. The atmosphere is always convivial and we had a great time. Service was good. We will keep coming back.

Great food, great service, a bit loud due to the bar crowd. Generally reasonable prices except $6 for a small bowl of olive oil/balsamic dip for bread is ridiculous. Most restaurants it's free. Definitely will return-just skip the dip!

Been coming here for years. Long before it was on the food-scene radar. Between the two of us we’ve tried all of the staples and love the seasonal dishes. A true diamond in the rough. Must go. 🇮🇹
