| This quaint little Italian restaurant is an oasis in an area populated with fast-food chains. Enjoy better-than-average pasta dishes such as fettuccine bolognese, capelli puttanesca and fusilli Umbriaco (a.k.a. vodka cream sauce). Chef Marco Flores puts a nice spin on creative dishes like penne l’arrabiata and pecan-encrusted tilapia with raspberry beurre rouge. Unique to Café Luna is the crispy rosetta pasta, good as an appetizer or main course, as a handmade pasta sheet is rolled with Swiss cheese and ham, then baked with Parmesan and white wine sauce. The expansive wine list has many solid, affordable wines, and the desserts are all homemade. Save room for the tiramisu and chocolate mousse cake, sweet confections worth the calories. |
