Luna Cafe

Best coffe/lounge in The Bronx, espresso is always made to perfection the ambience is more then perfect Dino and the all staff will make you feel like you are family, all the other no sense I have seen written in other reviews are pure lies, I am a coffe “affecionado” no one makes a better espresso..
I am Italian and been in the restaurant/hospitality business for pretty much all my life, they are numero 1 👌🏻

The smoking inside is kind of controversial but me and my family are never bothered by me, the service is great and waiters are always friendly. I’ve been ordering from this place over the span of maybe three years and wanted to share my own opinion. And I always come here for the penne allá vodka, in my opinion it’s one of the best places in little Italy and the place itself is beautiful.

A new place for my son and I, we both were delighted with the food taste, the good service, and the very cozy and warm place on a very cold and windy day. We shall return with more family and friends. It's worth the trip to Little Italy in the Bronx.!.

Loved it so nice the people were amazing the food was crazy good but let not forget abt the desserts. Very good. The customer service was a 10 out of 10.

Food and drink are literally perfect, the atmosphere is cool and suited for every age. The best thing is the service, a big plus for Luna is Zamira, she is really kind and always ready to help clients for any inconvenience. ❤

Service is the best, exceptionally Zamira. She’s so sweet and kind to everyone. Also she has a great communication with clients. Atmosphere is very nice and is a super place you can go.

Very friendly and accommodating! Lovely 3-wall, covered outdoor dining with decorative greenery. Apparently the area has a lot of Albanian and Turkish cuisine (Cakor, Çka Ka Qellu, No Fork, and Gurra Cafe to name a few with outdoor dining), so even though the place has a large assortment of food including sandwiches, pasta, and salads, I really wanted to try from their traditional Albanian section, since I've never had any before. The waitress was really nice and patiently did her best to walk me through what everything was when she saw me trying to look up pictures of the food items online 😂. After we finally decided to order (was waiting for a friend to arrive) they asked us if we each wanted a cup of traditional soup on the house! It was yummy, but I didn't catch the name. Surprisingly, I think the complimentary Samoon bread didn't arrive until the entrees did. It was great with the soup, of course :)

I decided on the "Banja Luka" / "Bunja Luka" (Samoon traditional bread, pulled filet with mushrooms & onions, with sour cream) which from the waitresses description I summed up, "So it's like a sandwich?" She wasn't sure. "Uh... It's not quite like a... Philly Cheesesteak." But at the end when I had finished thinly sliced steak (actually, yeah, like in a Philly Cheesesteak) with mushrooms and onions in a giant, wide and tall, puffy, airy samoon bread sliced she asked, "So what do you think? Is it a sandwich?" I said, "Oh definitely! An Albanian Sandwich!" So if you hear it being described as such at Luna Cafe, know that I was the one who coined it!

My husband had the Mixed Combo from the traditional Albanian Menu section. It included 5 kebap, 2 qoftes, 1 sausage, and 1 pc. grilled chicken. It's a bit of an appetizer sampler plate with sausages, fried patties, chicken, and a small side salad. He said it was good!

My friend ordered the penne a la vodka which came with a side salad in a bowl with feta on top.

Very nice ambiance the waiters are very nice great service gives you an indoor outdoor seating option I chose inside due to the heat wave that day it was nice and cool inside I ordered the creamy reessotto with steak and my husband order fettuccine Alfredo with the grilled chicken . We were not aware of the portion sizes for it was our first time dining there the portion sizes are rather large the husband and I shared my order and still leaving some over as for the fettuccine it could use some more flavoring but other then that the salad was delicious the atmosphere was calm relaxing and great over all I still give it a 5 star

Awesome Albanian enclave of a restaurant. Between this and the coffee shop at the other end of Arthur Avenue you have the European relaxed feel along with authentic dishes such as the byrek which is pictured. This particular one is spinach and is very common to get as a breakfast and Tiranë Albania. The service is nice here but they will practice the stoicism of Eastern Europe so I do not but expect to be fawned over while you dine.

The service was great and the outdoor seating was very relaxing. However, the best part was the dishes and dessert I recommend this place to anyone.

I love this place the hot drinks are the best and the pizza as well!!

Despite going late, we got service with a smile. Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

I went here first time with my husband for an outdoor seating.
This place is great and good was awesome

However no alcohol outside from what i understand ..atleast.
Try them out they are pretty good.

The server explained all the different choices of dessert and I chose the most delicious berry cheesecake and cappuccino.

The Luna Cafe was EXCELLENT. I had a new breakfast experience there. I believe it was called a Busca, with spinach, meat and cheese. I had to pass on the xheese though but it was DELICIOUS. The atmosphere was wonderful and the I believe the owner or possibly the manager took my order. Oh I forgot to mention, the cafe was just opening this morning. Other workers arrived, greeted me, brought me my coffee and breakfast. It was a beautiful experience to sit and enjoy a Italian breakfast being form African American descent

La Luna is BEST restaurant in Little Italy left!! The best customer service, fresh food and even the water w/ lemon, salad, soup and entree was delicious! The food came out in a timely manner and we had a great time without being rushed or bothered at all. I went home later to realize I left my bag there and when I called they had it and were so sweet about it. The next morning I went back and had a cappuccino with a croissant which they offered to put Nutella on 🥹 and it was delicious too!!!!!! This will be the only restaurant for me - for breakfast, brunch and definitely dinner! It’s the gem of restaurants in Little Italy!!!!!!!! Finally a great experience!!!!!!

Menu has a lot of range, food is delicious, and staff's hospitality is incredible. Only downside would be waiting time depending on your order. My pizza took quite some time to be made but my Tiramisu and iced tea were ready in perfect timing.

Great little place for either a full meal or just a cappuccino.
Fresh personal pies made fast service is good as well

I always go here with my friends. The service is pretty quick and the staff is friendly. I love their desserts especially the tiramisu cake. The hookah is also good, it's not too harsh or anything. It's smooth. But just know that they don't have many flavor options and you only get two free refills of coal. After that, you have to buy a new set and it's $30.

I love everything about Luna Cafe it's like you are back home
