About This Place

Nestled in the heart of Bloomington, MN, Luna Di Luna offers a captivating taste of Italy that goes beyond ordinary dining. This Italian restaurant shines with a carefully curated menu that celebrates authentic Southern Italian flavors, crafted with fresh, house-made ingredients that truly sing on the palate. Despite its unassuming exterior, Luna Di Luna welcomes guests into an enchanting atmosphere filled with foliage, softly glowing lights, and rich wood paneling—an intimate setting perfect for savoring each bite.

The culinary journey here begins with their fresh baked bread, served warm and accompanied by herb-infused dipping oil—a favorite highlighted repeatedly by patrons who praise its exquisite quality and homemade character. From there, the menu’s standout dishes unfold like a love letter to Italy: the succulent Shrimp Carbonara delights with its creamy texture and perfectly balanced flavors, while the Chicken Parmigiana offers tender chicken layered with melted cheese and vibrant tomato sauce. Pasta lovers will find solace in the rich Bolognese Pasta with Meatballs or the comforting Gnocchi bathed in pesto Alfredo sauce, all executed with thoughtful precision.

For those seeking hearty, soul-warming dishes, the Beef Bourguignon and Carne Armante bring robust, slow-cooked depth that feels like a warm embrace. And desserts at Luna Di Luna create the ideal finish: the silky Tiramisu and Cappuccino Cheesecake serve as divine indulgences, each bite melting seamlessly to cap the meal.

Every dish is crafted with a homegrown passion, reflected in the glowing reviews from guests who cherish not only the food but the warm, family-run atmosphere. One reviewer noted that the restaurant’s cozy, mom-and-pop vibe makes each visit feel like a special occasion shared with close friends. Although the menu is intentionally streamlined, every plate bursts with authentic flavors and thoughtful presentation. Service is attentive yet unobtrusive, enhancing the intimate dining experience without overwhelming it.

Whether you’re enjoying the complex layers of the Cinco Formaggio baked tortellini takeout or sipping the house-made sangria while soaking in the rustic ambiance, Luna Di Luna feels like discovering a little piece of Sicily in the heart of Minnesota. It’s a spot where genuine care for quality, tradition, and atmosphere coalesce, making it an unforgettable destination for anyone craving true Italian cuisine with a welcoming, heartfelt touch.

    Luna Di Luna is a very unique and delicious Italian restaurant. It may look like a hole in the wall on the outside, but on the inside, it has one of the most unique atmospheres I've ever seen in a restaurant. Foliage, covered lights, and wood paneling are just some of the design features, and it all works! The menu does only have 10 items, but they all sounded excellent, so I didn't mind that at all! Service was very attentive, and the food that was brought out was scrumptious! If you enjoy unique dining experiences that don't skimp out on the great food, then Luna Di Luna should be on your radar!

    Very cozy Mom and Pop feel. Food feels very homely and was good. I must say the bread was the best part of the meal. It's not to say the pasta dishes we ordered were bad. It's just the bread was that good, lol. I only wish the oil that was given with the bread was olive oil. The service was friendly and welcoming. The portion sizes aren't terribly large for the price of each dish. Overall, I would recommend giving Luna Di Luna a try.

    The atmosphere is intimate and cozy, making it a great place to catch up with friends over a delicious meal. We love pasta, and the tortellini was excellent. The bread and olive oil is one of the best I’ve had in the Twin Cities. Thank you!

    Nice family owned and operated Authentic Southern Italian style restaurant. Service was excellent and the food was terrific. Portions are a little on the smaller side but everything tasted fantastic. From the fresh baked bread to the side salads on chilled plates to the perfectly cooked pasta dishes. They also allow for vegetarian modifications. Prices are really reasonable. Dinner for two including a nice bottle of wine was under $100. Highly recommended.

    I can’t say enough about this restaurant. Wonderful family from Sicily that makes great authentic food. The bread is the best I’ve had in a long time. Everything tasted fresh, homemade, and authentic. The restaurant was comfortable, cozy, and great ambiance. I’m from out of town but when I’m back I’m eating here every time.

    Small family-run restaurant with nice cozy vibes. Perfect for the cold weather! Prices were very reasonable. I had the terrazinni and it was delicious. Like many have said, the bread is awesome too! Will definitely return.

    Wow — talk about a hidden gem! This place absolutely nails it from start to finish. The service is warm and genuine, the atmosphere feels like home, and the food? Outstanding. Every bite of that chicken and sausage pasta hit with real, honest flavor — hearty, comforting, and made with love. This is a true mom-and-pop Italian spot that reminds you what dining out should feel like. Forget the chain restaurants, this place has soul. Can’t wait to come back and try more of the menu. Highly recommend!

    The place has been built with sole and love, the building has a calling to Salvador Dali (I know he is Spanish) but wanted to give you an idea of how unique the place and it's owners are. The food is expertly prepared and they have a good selection of beer and wine to accompany the meal. Find a cozy table and enjoy a real local favorite.
