Lunardi's

Love this place!!!!! By far the best Italian food in the QC. If you haven't been there...you need to go.

Went here for the first time on a Thursday evening and was seated immediately. Our waiter was very friendly/attentive and I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. My boyfriend got a 9" deep pan pizza which arrived quicker than the wait time for it claimed (a good surprise). I got the alfredo ravioli which was good, but very rich and a bit simple. My only complaint really was the price compared to the portion. The pasta was $20 and the portion I received was comparable to that of a lunch portion at other restaurants, so there were no leftovers. I felt I could've got a dish equally as good for a much lower price elsewhere, which is why I'm not sure if I will be back.

My dad worked up the street from Lunardi's when I was a kid back in the mid 90s. Used to go with him plenty. Just a great local spot with solid, no frills italian food. Fast forward to this year where on a whim at 38 weeks pregnant I told my husband we should try it as I was craving a pile of carbs. It was such a throwback to be there. A lot hasn't changed and that's a good thing in my opinion. Servers are NICE and ATTENTIVE. Has an old school charm to it without being fancy.

This isn't where you'd go for a fancy, refined meal. This is where you'd go when you want comfort food and don't want to think too hard about it. Don't miss. I'll be back.

My Sister had them cater Lasagna, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Salad, Salad Dressing, Bread & Butter for my Niece's Birthday party today. It was absolutely delicious and the way the packaged it up was awesome!

Best Old World Italian Food in town. This long time Quad City Restaurant staple in the little strip shops be hind the Northwest Bank and on the road just before you get to the Brady Street exit of North Park Mall is probably of a just a few left the longest restaurants in the Quad Cities Area. If you want real authentic and exceptionally good Italian food then this is where to eat.

They serve some of the best lasagna ever. Were talk-in o over 3-4 inches thick here folks, of nummy goodness. The Zitti is to die for! Every thing is great and won't wanting in either flavor or fullness!

But leave room for dessert! Their Tiramisu and cannolis are to die for!

The have a full bar as well to go with your meal or while you wait for your party or meal at the table enjoying each other.

The setting is that old feel 70's ish heavy wood booths with the high back in a dark stain along the walls. These give parties some sense of privacy and separation at dinner. There are also tables for larger parties along the windows and in the restaurant. Pitchers and paintings hang on the walls.

The Service has always been great! Never been disappointed.

Why would anyone ever go to that other place in the North Park Mall Parking Lot when this place is, so much better?! Except when they're over flowing and can't get a set. That should be the case. Really.

Give them a try and you will understand.

Small, family run restaurant with wonderful Italian cuisine. Friendly service and cozy atmosphere.

Lunardi's is my absolute favorite and I am never dissatisfied when I go there. I usually order the Chicken Marsala or the Lasagna. The only negative thing I have to say is that there old fried calamari was super good, they changed it and now it is not that great. Also, they are no longer open for lunch so I don't go there as often as I used to :(

Probably the best Italian in the Quad Cities. Family owned and operated. Authentic recipes. High quality, delicious foods. Attentive service. Comfortable dining area. Parking can be a challenge. Highly recommended.

Food is good, but WAY overpriced for the portion they give you!! $30 for cheese, ravioli with Alfredo and a piece of bread and a tiny salad is it's just too much.

Lunardi's is amazing. We go in and they are very friendly, give us a table with out problems, and are very hospitable. The wine was very rich and good tasting, the food was delicious. I went with friends and we got different food to try it out and it was perfect. I recommend the Italian dressing and Creamy Garlic if you get a salad as a side. Their pasta and soups are tasteful and very enjoyed by me and my friends. The environment was very nice. All of the appliances were clean and working, the location was decent, and the interior look was stylish and fancy, the look was everything I would expect out of an Italian restaurant.

My first time trying this restaurant was on Sunday, 23 January with a group of girlfriends. The atmosphere was nice and our server was amazing. We kicked off our dinner with Calamari and a lovely bottle of Moscato. The calamari was crispy and juicy, dipping sauce was really nice. The Moscato was nice and sweet with a little fizz--highly recommend!

Before the main course came the salad. I choose the creamy garlic dressing, one of the dressings made in-house. Honestly, the dressing was that spectacular even though it came highly recommended but it was still good.

For the main course, I ordered the Tilapia Parmesan. I highly don't recommend! It tasted as unappealing as it looked. The tilapia was bland and drowning in an equally as bland "Parmesan" and mushroom sauce. Even the added Parmesan I let our server place on top and the side of lemon slices didn't help.

For dessert, I ordered a Cannoli. The shell was nice and crunchy and the filling wasn't too sweet. I wasn't a big fan of the large amount of filling covered in chocolate chips spilling g out of the side, but I'm also not a huge dessert person and still liked it nonetheless.

As a bonus to myself, I ordered another entree to go. I had the Ravioli Marsala Florentine and the red wine vinaigrette (made in-house) for the salad. Again, the main entrée was disappointing. It was bland and greasy, and it had an subtle, but noticeable, unpleasant sweetness (I'm going to assume it's from the Marsala wine used). The vinaigrette was also pretty oily but the tang from the red wine vinegar was pronounced and I did enjoy it.

Overall, I had a good experience and would visit again. I definitely would like to try another appetizer and wine from them. As for the main course, I think I'll try a tomato-based sauce dish.
