Followed the advice of another reviewer and got the Garlic Knots... Good choice! Servings are very large and everyone in our group had to get a To Go box.
TIP: If you have the fourquare app on your mobile phone, be sure to check in and you'll get a free glass of the house wine. (as of May '12) -

This review is on behalf of my husband :: and I quote "Probably the best chicken parm, and meat sauce I have ever had." THIS coming from a picky, negative, never impressed vocabulary!
Yayyy Cafe Luna! YUMM! -

As timeless as the Naples pier itself, Cafe Luna has been a staple of the town for years and years. And it shows at lunch, when Luna fills up before any of the other restaurants immediately surrounding it get more than one or two tables worth of people.
There's no secret to what they do, really. They offer good food at a great price and with the year-after-year consistency than the snow birds and locals both demand. Garlic knots are a must at my table, as are any of the very affordable and hearty sandwiches. I diverged from my normal chicken parmesan order to try the Reuben, and I wasn't disappointed.
I'll be back over and over again.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Sit outside on a midsummer evening and order the 'special' of 2 entrees and a bottle of house wine for 29.99...you can't beat the price or the ambience. Delicious focaccia bread, decent italian food, excellent service. Must try the house Chardonnay...delectable! Great place to make your local fav.

Recently renovated, the inside looks great! Nice selection of food & beverage. Great lunch spot. The pizzas are very good as are the sandwiches. Owners are usually on site, very good for groups and outdoor dining (outdoor seating is right on 5th ave.)

Coming from Chicago, I've had exceptional Italian food and this may be one of the only spots in Florida to have it. My parents know the owner exceptionally well so every time we are there it is a treat. Pizza's are good, but I prefer the pasta dishes. Great location on 5th so the inevitable stumble to the next bar is quick and easy!

This was a disappointment and we won't be going back. Four of us did the "two dinners and a bottle of wine" and the wine was the worst any of us had ever tasted. We were offered an "upgrade" for $10 but quite frankly we could have licked at a puddle from the street for free and it would have been an upgrade. The wine aside, the food was okay but certainly nothing special. The atmosphere was fun but you can enjoy it from the wine bar next door while holding a hopefully better glass of wine.

We sat at the bar because the place was packed.
It was hot outside and the inside did not cool us down, and to have hot food on top of that I could not get out fast enough.
They only serve beer and wine which is a bummer.
The pizza was tasty, definitely a good choice.
The mussel appetizer was very good and something I would have again.
The food was good but sitting in a warm restaurant on a hot summer night took away from the pleasure of the meal. -

This is one of my grandmother's favorite restaurants so we come here every time I visit. Dinner was awesome - their "Veally Good Deal" is a fantastic value (it comes with a bottle of wine and you can take the leftovers home) and the food is awesome. I sort of wish I hadn't eaten so much bread so that I would have had room for the awesome looking desserts. The staff is outstanding, always welcoming, and our most recent server, Rebecca, was super sweet and very attentive. Great outdoor seating and family friendly, but they also have a full bar!

A big thumb down to the hostess of Cafe Luna for been in a power trip, cold and unkind person that will make you wait for over an hour and 20 minutes before she would allow you to set on empty tables outside since they prefer to fill those with four people. You will wait for ever if you are only a couple and any party of four or more would get ahead of you unless of course you surrender the right to join the patio and allow her to stuff you in the back like a sardine in a corner table for two. Because I set my grounds we wait for almost 80 minutes. I would never come back to give them my business.

Great pizza by the slice where you can choose your own toppings, and their house salad is delicious with a glass of their house Chardonnay. A major plus is their outdoor seating area which is covered and very spacious.

The real deal Italian. Pizza authentic, all home made, even the gluten free pizza rice dough. Reasonable prices for lunch especially.
The GF pizza price is higher than I am use to but its a 12", tasty, just wish the spinach was fresh, seemed either canned or frozen. They have a GF menu with rice noodles to sub most pasta dishes.
Servers nice. Atmosphere is relaxed, casual, reminds me of Little Italy, NYC in the good old days, small, narrow urban eatery. Eat outside if you can, nice for people watching off the main drag of 5th.
CAUTION: If you have a thing bout clean bathrooms HOLD it. There's only one, unisex, old, needs major work. Glad I went AFTER my meal!
One of those that even if it were clean, you couldn't tell because everything is so ancient.
BTW, watch out for the shooting foam soap, hung high on wall (so forget handicapped or small people getting clean) seriously, went across sink and got on my pants.
Guess if you were in a wheel chair it can shower onto you. Maybe they are just ahead of their time in being creative. -

Happened upon this restaurant while in Naples...and was not disappointed.
The place was crowded, so they sat me at the bar where they also serve food. Plenty of TV's to watch and enough light to read a paper. No problem there.
I had the Steak Diane. Frankly, the steak was somewhat flavorless, a little mealy even though I had it medium rare.
Not a bad place, I'd go back. Nothing exceptional either. -

Went to Cafe Luna over the 4th of July, 2011 and I will not be going back. The prices are pretty reasonable for the area. 2 dinners and a bottle of wine for 30 bucks. On 5th Ave, you can't beat it. Unfortunately, the food was flat out bad. My wife ordered the eggplant parm, and I had the shrimp fra diavolo. Both sauces sucked! We upgraded the bottle of wine for 10.00 and they brought out the cheapest bottle ever. Walmart has it for like 5 bucks. We would have been better off going across the street to Subway. I will atleast end on a good note. The outside seating is great.

Great choice for gluten free people. Excellent GF pizza and pasta, and great (non-GF) eggplant parmesan. Previous poster's note about restrooms seems to be no longer true. Ladies room was fine. Also, lovely setting for people watching.

I mean for 30 bucks (2 meals and a bottle of wine) isn't too bad... But not great either.. Foreign chicks on work visa's need to be a little more friendly to get 4 stars from me... I mean they are here looking for a green card, NO?!

Great casual Italian restaurant. Stumbled upon this place after seeing that it was packed and received good reviews on yelp. My husband and I ordered the veally good deal which was 2 entrees and a bottle of wine. Excellent deal! Had the penne bolognese which was great and my husband paid an extra $5 for linguist with white clams which he said was ok b/c the noodles were slightly overlooked. Wine was your typical basic red/white which you can take home if you don't finish. Overall a great meal.

Looks like a dive when you drive by. Especially in Naples. However i was there when i was visiting from Boston and had lunch 3 times in a 10 day period great Italian fare. Very good priced. Great outdoor seating so you can people watch I recommend this place for lunch.

They also are offering the special priced dinners which is a good thing but unfortunately this is another restaurant where they add in the gratuity for you(22%) so the waitstaff doesn't fell the need to do their job. I went there with a group of 8, we asked for the children's food to be brought out first, we ordered it while the adults were looking at the menu. Well it ended up coming out last after we had all had appetizers, salad and our other dinners. No apologies either. We hardly ever saw our waitstaff, had to ask the hostess for our water glasses to be filled. The food was ok not good enough to make up for the waitstaffs inattentiveness. Again with so many restaurants on 5th ave there is no reason to patronize this one and have a lousy dinner experience.
