excellent! – beautiful atmosphere, helpful and knowledgable service people. the flavors in the food were spot on: interesting and a great variety without being overwhelming. the only issue i had was how small the portions were for the price, but outstanding food nonetheless.
Not that great – Service was inattentive; I kept having to flag down the waitress. The plates are definitely on the small side, but the prices didn't really reflect that. I left the place still hungry.
Pretty Good – Lunetta does not take reservations for small parties which can be frustrating when its snowing outside and the bar is full, however the hostess was very nice. We were given the option to sit at the bar but it looked busy and uncomfortable so we decided to wait. Once seated, we enjoyed the bruschetta appetizers as well as the fried artichokes. I thought the meatballs were fantastic, but my boyfriends peene with rosemary braised lamb was luke warm and a little bland. Would try again, but not wait for more than 10... read more
"Boxed Pasta" and "Smooth Dudes" aside, Lunetta is a great neighborhood spot! – As a quick note, maybe the chef, a longtime Brooklyn guy who is down-to-earth, nice, and real, was angry to have someone so obviously stuck-up at his bar... Also, De cecco dry pasta is great stuff. Whats the problem? I guarentee that many a New York restaurant uses it. Also, Lunetta does not pose to be "Fine DIning". This is a self-described neighborhood joint with nothing on the menu priced above $19, most items much cheaper. Huge, delicious bru... read more
Boxed grocey store pasta is not my idea of fine dining – When you see the kitchen staff using boxed pasta that you can buy at the Met down the street you wonder why would I pay 5 times as much for this food when I can boil it myself at home. I don't know if other restaurants do this but if they do they shouldn't have an open kitchen. The pumpkin ravioli was decent but didn't move me to tears. The chef is also not the friendliest of people which again begs an answer to the question why the open kitchen if you're going to be y... read more
Too much hype – I was quite excited with grand expectations going into this meal, as I had read about chef Shepard?s talent in Michael Ruhlman?s lastest cooking tome ?The Reach Of The Chef.? Unfortunately, the meal was disappointing. Per a web suggestion (note: lots of great reviews floating around, this is just my experience) I ordered all around the menu. The bruschetta nibble, consisting of homemade ricotta and honey, was light and plated beautifully. The meal was off to a good start. Next was pan-seared mushrooms and a s... read more
Seasonal Italian small plates and an all-welcoming ambience send Smith Street diners over the moon. – The Scene Starting with the window's cute moon logo, the owners of the former tenant, Taku, have effortlessly morphed their somewhat austere space into a more inviting Italian restaurant that blends in better with the neighborhood. The red leather banquettes, long stretch of bar seats and spacious garden fills up quickly with the usual Smith Street mix: yuppies on dates, weekly dining parents and the occasional gay couple.
