    I thoroughly enjoyed the diverse food options and the reasonable prices. However, I was disappointed with the second-floor dining room. It was extremely cold, almost like an unventilated attic. I would definitely return if they could accommodate me on the first floor. 5-Stars if you’re not dining on the second floor when it’s below 40 degrees outside.

    We've been looking to go here for a long time and finally chose Valentine's Day. The food was excellent. Service was top notch. The staff were perfect with every aspect of our dining experience. The calamari was delicious along with all the other things we ordered. Can't wait to go back!

    My cocktail was $18 but very delicious! We did the Lunch pre-fix menu, which was totally worth it! The appetizers were AMAZING!!! The food portions were great, we needed to take our lunch and dessert home. My chicken was a little on the drier side, but the flavor was on point! Would definitely go back and recommend this place to my friends! They are starting brunch service on February 22nd. Our waiter was attentive, but a soft talker.

    This is one of our favorite restaurants! We have been going to LuNello for 20 years and it gets better and better. Chef Louis and his team continue to reinvent themselves. The food is sophisticated yet extremely approachable and downright unctuous. The service staff is professional, welcoming and extremely knowledgeable. They really care about the guest having a great experience. ❤️

    It was very slow when I had lunch here. Staff was very attentive. Food portion were also great. We kept it simple and ordered the skirt sticks, fried calamari as our apps & penne vodka with chicken for our entree. Had leftovers (goes to show the portions can be GREAT). Would definitely come again!
