Bella Luna Downtown

Italian, Pizza

Bella Luna Downtown is the place to go for Authentic Italian Cuisine, live entertainment and quality beer and wine. Open since October 2014, owner and Chef Salvatore Colicci knows how food is supposed to taste. Born and raised in NYC, his family has been in the restaurant business for over 40 years. Located on Schatzell St. across from Retama Park, Bella Luna Downtown is rapidly creating a following among South Texas residents who want delicious Italian food at reasonable prices. Sauces are made from scratch every day, nothing is pre-cooked and your dish is always made fresh to order. Bella Luna Downtown has a full Italian entree menu. Start the meal with the Stuffed Mozzarella Bread appetizer. Savor the melt-in-your-mouth Italian bread stuffed with fresh mozzarella, tomato, basil and smothered in Alfredo sauce. On a cold winter night warm up with Tortellini en Brodo soup made with cheese tortellini in a light chicken broth. Italian entrees are delightful and generous. Order the fettuccine Alfredo or the Shrimp Fra Diavolo served with a spicy house-made marinara and 6 jumbo shrimp over spaghetti pasta. Featured Italian entrees include Cavatelli Bolognese or Chicken Parmigiana. Italian entrees include a salad and freshly-made bread. Desserts include White Chocolate Limoncello, Italian Rum Cake, Tiramisu, Chocolate Sea Salt Caramel, and Cannolis. Bella Luna Downtown offers weekly specials, live music, delivery, beer and wine, event party rentals, and catering.

NEED MORE HELP! SUPER SLOW SERVICE, servers are too busy busing tables instead of servicing customers in a packed restaurant environment. Not the first time this has happened with this place but definitely the last, NEVER AGAIN.

I want to say thank you to the Owner for visiting our table and introducing himself to us. Very humble and thoughtful. I highly recommend this restaurant for the price and service.

The food was good, with adequate portions, however, the flavor didn't 'stand out' with respect to other Italian restaurants we've dined at in recent years (not including Olive Garden Lol). The interior decor was old & tired, comprised of a collage of fake brick, white walls, a poorly placed TV behind the bar, & outdated window treatments. We dined here for lunch & I'm not sure if it's under new ownership, but I hope they're able to continue to make a go of it & improve their offerings & aesthetics. :-)

One plate came out much later than the other three plates. The Salads only consisted of lettuce and tomatoes (I don't like tomatoes so it was lettuce and ranch only, no point) other than that everything was good.

Been here a few times. The food is always immaculate, the service, however, needs major improvement. Staff isn't rude or unprofessional, just very inattentive and tend to hide out of sight a lot.

Staff was friendly, but meals took long to be served. No television, not a place to watch sport activities. Live Comic entertainment, but not for children. List of appetizers didn't sound appealing. Wine price expenses. Asked for house wine, but they ran out. They offered and suggested a wine at $3 more per glass. I have to think twice about returning.

The atmosphere was nice. It is a small, quaint restaurant. I liked the ambiance. The food was very good, and it is apparent that the ingredients that go into the food are fresh. I do think my fish was a bit over cooked, but it was not anything I would send back. There are two reasons I would not give this the full 5. The first is that the wait staff l, although very polite, appeared to be a bit scattered and confused. I had to wait a bit for a drink refill. There were three staff covering the tables and for a bit I was not sure exactly which one was assigned to my table. They were cordial though. The second reason is that it was rather hot in the building. One of the wait staff did inform us later during our meal that the AC was not working very well. There is a bit of a wait for the food, but I did not mind it because good food takes time. So if you are looking for a quick meal, this is totally not the place to go. If you are looking to enjoy a good meal and spend time with someone else without a time crunch, then this would be a perfect place to do so.
