The Cafe Bella Luna

"The first time dining here was not so remarkable but that was shortly after opening and I chalk it up to being a new place. The second time however, was excellent. The food was delicious and well portioned. The service was excellent despite the fact that we came in with the sign saying "closed." They even seated another table after us despite being ready to close. The server apologized to us after appearing to be flustered from the dinner rush, this was not at all necessary and we were happily accommodated. I took a star off for atmosphere simply because the building could use some sprucing up and the decorative vine on the ceiling inside. I hope they are able to expand their hours so more people can enjoy this restaurant."

"Mark and Geno do a fantastic job. I have enjoyed several remarkable Italian meals in the Big Apple and this is the closest you can come to that here in Central NY. A must go to café! Bring your friends and laughter. Pic: Bella Luna Trìo - lasagna, chicken and eggplant parm."

"Brought my mother in law here to try and find some chicken riggies that reminded me of growing up in the Rome/Utica area. Ended up finding an amazing couple who work really hard to provide amazing service and fantastic food. The chicken riggies went far beyond what I hoped for and has now become my favorite. On top of the service being exquisite (thank you, Marc) and the food being out of this world (truly divine, Geo), the atmosphere was cozy and I found myself feeling at home while eating and talking with my guest. Truly cannot wait to come back and I will encourage anyone to try this place out. Everything was fantastic"
