I would like to start off saying that the food was great. But, I'd have to search back 20 years to think of a time when I experienced worse service. We had reservations and arrived on time. We approached an empty host stand and waited a few minutes. No big deal. The hostess arrived, pointed to a table across the restaurant and told us to sit there. We were seen quickly by the server and our order was taken. That's when thing took a turn for the worse. We waited 40 minutes for our food and mine was brought out 20 minutes before my friend's. When our server brought out my food that was the last time we saw her until we got the check as she spend all of her time with a larger table. It took another 20 minutes after the second dish was delivered before someone asked how things were. I asked for bread and my friend asked for water. Neither ever came. We noticed that there were several tables waiting for food and when food was brought out, it was one dish at a time with several minutes between the dishes that followed regardless of party size. Large parties had some guests done with their food when others didn't have any. We won't be back.
For a pricier Italian restaurant, I kinda of had expectations that it would be nicer. My husband and I dressed accordingly. But when we got there, it was not very classy at all. There are beer signs on the wall, yes one is neon. The clientele clearly had more money than we do to go to a place so costly, dressed so casually. In fact, one of the other customers there was wearing shorts and a pleather crop top... it was pretty unappetizing. Of course, that's no fault of the restaurant.Thankfully, we had used a Groupon and did not pay full price. The food was decent. I wouldn't say anything was amazing except for the bread. I got the lobster ravioli and throughout the entire dish, got about 2 bites of actual lobster. But the fries for the appetizer, pretty good!But the reason that I'm giving it 3 stars is because the service was pretty good. Our waitress was great! Aside from that, probably won't be back.
I fell in love with this place the food was amazing the service was amazing my server Belinda make me feel like VIP. It was a special day for me and my girlfriend. I wanted to take her to the best place I could find in Corpus Christi. she wanted Italian. So I asked some of my friends and they recommended me to Bella Luna. I definitely will return. Thank you so much Belinda for making us feel special!
It was our first time here so we made a reservation, when we got there there was only 2 other couples in the restaurant. We were greeted and seated our waitress was great and helped me pick a wine. The breadsticks were delicious, I got the carbonara and my husband got the chicken Parmesan. The carbonara was very oily and didn’t taste quite right but it was okay. My husband thought that his was good.
I loved Bella Luna. My other half took me to for a surprise bday dinner. The hostess was wonderful. Our waitress was knowledgeable and her recommendations was on point. Kudos to the chef the food was magically delicious for our palette. I highly recommend Bella Luna they went beyond our expectations .
We recently moved to CC and have had dinner here twice. Hubby & I have been pleased with the food and service both times. They have wonderful fresh crispy & doughy garlic bread that you have to control yourself so you don't make it your meal. Their menu included mussels fra diavolo. Our 1st visit my hubby wanted it with shrimp and they accommodated the change. The 2nd visit (last night) we tried the spaghetti ala puttanesca and added shrimp. I had clams, we ordered a bottle wine and we took our desserts (Italian & layered chocolate) cake home for later. Our whole meal was delicious on both occasions! Thank you Jessica for being so welcoming! Will be back!
The service was top notch and the atmosphere was lively. I highly recommend calling ahead to make a reservation.Overall it was a great experience here going on a date with my partner. We're not too big on Italian food but we heard good things about this place and it didn't disappoint. The food was great, but heavy like most Italian food.We started with the garlic bread and artichoke dip for an appetizer and it was delicious.I ordered Lucky Lou's crushed meatball lasagna and it rocked.My partner got deep fried bread sticks with her meal and they were absolutely decadent.
This is an amazing and quaint little place. Found it here on Yelp! Food is outstanding, server was fabulous, atmosphere was out of this world. Do not come here for anything fast. Take your time, relax, have a glass of wine and enjoy your evening and the company you are with...this is a very laid back place. They do not rush people, thus it means that they might turn people away and if they have a party already coming, they will not seat the empty table. Reservations were taken as well. We ended up sharing and entree and had some to take home! The server we had was Jessica and she was absolutely super! We will be back next time we come to Corpus.
Had the Lucky Lou's Lasagna al Forno, very tasty, and the crushed meatballs were a nice surprise. We'll worth the price, would recommend to anyone. The place was packed when I arrived, luckily there was a seat available. Service was quick and friendly.
My wife and I just moved to Corpus Christi and were looking for an authentic local Italian restaurant. We found it! Very happy to say everything from the breadsticks (could be their own dessert) to the appetizers, salad and entrees were all amazing. Service was exceptional. Our server, Toni and the co-owner came out to check on us to make sure everything was good. They made a fra diavolo that was top shelf with huge gulf shrimp. You won't be disappointed with this restaurant. We need more of these great family restaurants to fluorish, especially after what we have all been through the past two years.
