Another splendid meal at Luna Rossa. We celebrated our daughter's college graduation in style tonight. We received exceptional service and terrific Italian fare. Thank you again Luna Rossa! The duo playing music tonight just made the evening even more special.

The company was marvelous. Stillwater is a gem. Luna Rossa was a find. Our friend had a groupon. I was not prepared for the lovely atmosphere. Our waitress was hands down one of the best ever. Attentive, informative, efficient. I had veal piccata. It's the first time I've had a creamy sauce on piccata but it worked. The entire meal... More

It'd have been a better experience to dine here if chefs can use Italian ingredients better than just salt and pepper, improve the dated tasting palettes with right pricing on menu. We'll try other restaurants in this area next time.

We had the best impromptu day! We stumbled across Raffaele's wine store where we sampled many wines and bought a delicious variety at amazing prices, and then decided to grab dinner at his beautiful restaurant (despite having reservations elsewhere). We made the right choice! Raffaele and Lisa were so welcoming, our visit to the store and dinner at the restaurant... More

This was our first time to Luna Rosa. My wife had wanted to go here for years since she thought it loke nice. The restaurant lived up to expectations regarding atmosphere, especially in the back by the cave. But we both thought the food was plain, bland, and overpriced.

Luna Rossa is Ina quaint setting on the south end of Main in Stillwater. We dined here on a Saturday night in early spring. The space was only half full. It seemed to take a while for our waitress to acknowledge our presence. Eventually she saw us and brought a menu and wine card. It should have been a tip-... More

My husband took me here recently for a romantic dinner. We had a nice enough time, but we'll probably look for someplace else to eat the next time we are in Stillwater. Firstly, there seemed to be a problem with our reservation when we arrived. We arrived almost exactly on time (perhaps a minute or two before or after our... More

We had a reservation for 6:00. We showed up at 5:50 and were told we had to wait until 6, even though there were TONS of tables open. Like literally at least 10 tables. There is no place to "wait", so we aimlessly wandered about the tiny entrance area waiting for 6 to arrive. All the food on the menu... More

We had a groupon for this place, and it was money well spent! We had a reservation, but they were a bit behind, so we ordered some drinks while we waited. The bar tender was not very friendly, but thank goodness we hit the jackpot with our waitress later! The atmosphere was wonderful, and we had a table that was... More

we had a groupon to try Luna Rossa.. what a mistake. I could have gotten better food for cheaper at Olive Garden. The service was aweful. We sat in a booth in the bar area so we could enjoy the live singer they had (who was the only good thing about the place). Our waitress was the bartender and she... More
