GRAVY REVIEWS
This place is getting a 5 out of 5 star review because we had an amazing family dinner here. The best dish goes to the "chicken parmigiana" The garlic bead appetizer goes perfectly alongside this dish. Trust me I was stuffed from just that. Was disappointed that the tiramisu was off the menu due to an error in cooking. Overall I will say it's worth a trip here if you are visiting Raleigh NC - great place and better the best dining out experience we had on our entire trip.
Such good Italian food! They make all of their pasta in house which is incredible! I’m not sure about all sauces but I know that they also make their marinara sauce in house as well which was fantastic! Most items can be substituted to a gluten free option which is great because my wife is gluten free so it’s hard for us to eat Italian but they can accommodate and accommodate well!
Gravy was so great! I got the butternut squash ravioli with chicken and my boyfriend got the lasagna. We also got calamari and they gave us complementary garlic knots! Definitely recommend!

BELLA MONICA REVIEWS
Absolutely wonderful!! Many Gluten Free options which drew us there in the 1st place. A little on the expensive side, but you get what you pay for. Service was excellent! Though they may want to add a footnote in the menu that states that the shrimp & calamari linguini contains shrimp with tails. This was our 1st visit - to celebrate Mother's Day. We are certain to visit again!
Incredible service and food! We visited Bella Monica last night with out-of-town guests who have food allergies because their gluten free menu is the best in town. We also had a fussy toddler in tow. It was a snowy day, and they were short staffed. They bent over backwards to make our experience as pleasant and smooth as possible even though they were really busy. We were so grateful for their thoughtfulness and delicious food! I can't wait to go back ASAP.
The staff at Bella Monica were conscious of and careful about my partner's gluten intolerance. They use different colored plates for gluten-free food and have a separate menu. All of our food was delicious! Highly recommend.

CAFFE LUNA REVIEWS
Caffe Luna was our catering vendor for our wedding at All Saints Chapel and we were so pleased not only with the food but the service! Darcey was incredibly helpful to work with and everything went smoothly with transitioning from cocktail hour to reception. Darcey and the chef worked with our request to have a private dinner for the bride & groom and we loved how flexible they were with us on this request. All of our guests spoke really highly of the meals and drinks. Would highly recommend Caffe Luna!
My husband and I got married at Caffe Luna back in May and boy did it exceed our expectations! It was the complete fairytale day and it wouldn’t have been that way if it weren’t for the exceptional staff and beautiful restaurant and location! From the beginning of the planning process to the execution of the day, Darcy went above and beyond to make the day so special and perfect. I am still (nearly 6months later) getting comments on how wonderful the service and food was at the wedding. My family and I are so incredibly happy we found Caffe Luna! Thank you all for working so hard and for being so accommodating for such a large group!
The food is amazing and the ambience and location too. Staff super friendly we’ll knowledge this be come my favorite Italian restaurant.
