I've been to this restaurant several times in the past year. The service is usually very friendly and attentive. I tried the eggplant dish and it was a bit tasteless and disappointing. Usually the staff comes around and grinds pepper on your salad and grates fresh parmesan cheese on your pasta but I was on my own this time. I... More

Luna Bella has consistently provided us with tasty Italian food. The salads are generous and the calzones are delicious. Sometimes the pizzas are hit or miss (thin crust and unique sauce), but overall we keep going back and enjoying ourselves there.

Whenever any of my family come to visit, they always want to visit this restaurant. Service is always friendly and attentive and the food is always excellent. My wife has a bunch of food problems and they have always managed, not only to work around them but to provide her a delightful meal. Our last visit I had a mussel... More

It was my sisters' birthday today and I was making dinner plans for her favorite food "Italian". I was considering the safe places but lately a new friend of mine has turned me on to trip advisor to start looking at others' reviews. The last few days it has been incredibly helpful. That is how I found this little piece... More

This is another of my frequently visited restaurants. When I was in high school, one of my best friends was an Italian-American, and his parents were born in Italy. His mother's cooking was amazing. She did sauce from scratch, made her own noodles, etc. She even showed me how to cook a few things. Long and short of it is... More

When I walked into Luna Bella, I was like, how are we going to be able to move our shoulders at a table for four with an infant? The tables are very close and there is barely any room at the entrance to wait so people were hovering behind my husband who was right near the door all through dinner.... More

Looking for something unique, informal and not a chain, we selected Luna Bella since it had recently won the Best of Howard award (again). The place is a little difficult to find since it is tucked away within one of Columbia's (in)famous discreet shopping centers. We went there on a Saturday night a bit after 7:30 PM so had to... More

Pulled off I-95 when we were heading North after Thanksgiving to visit friends in Columbia. They took us to this fabulous place. New Jersey has a well-deserved reputation for its authentic Italian restaurants. Someone from NJ must have moved to Columbia because there is certainly a fine Italian cook behind this great restaurant. Our friends are regulars and they said... More

Cozy but nice atmosphere. Better than the better-known chains. Helpful attentive staff, and really good food.
