Luna Stella 5 Highland Place, Maplewood, NJ 07040

"We love Luna Stella - such an underrated gem right in the heart of Maplewood! Cute outdoor patio/garden area in the back with plenty of seating, and the food is always excellent, as is the service. We've never had a bad meal here and will continue going back, especially when the weather is nice and we're looking for an outdoor dining spot!"

"Beautiful and fun. Bar was well lit and the drinks were amazing. As a celiac, their menu was great. Oh, try the Octopus-delicious."

"Delicious chicken Milanese, dressed with a caper vinaigrette and topped with a generous helping of arugula salad. Reasonably priced wines and good service in an airy dining room. Nice date night destination."

"Delicious fresh ingredients which we’re prepared to perfection and the service was awesome too! Plenty of space inside of the restaurant and they do offer outside dining too! We parked nearby and no problem with our reservations. Drinks, desserts and atmosphere all were very good. I highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate a special occasion or to enjoy a delicious meal. My daughter and son-in-law wanted me to taste the food since they went there to celebrate their anniversary. Looking forward to going back again."

"My boyfriend and I went yesterday for his birthday dinner, and to say we were happy was an understatement! The service and atmosphere was fantastic. The food was also incredible - I was nervous to try the octopus starter because we’ve had it at different places where we didn’t like it but it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the meal. The small touches for his birthday did not go unnoticed, and definitely added to our experience. The drinks were also great, I especially loved the special that was a fall sour cocktail. 10/10 recommend"
