Horrible dining experience...poor service, poor food...

by JKernii

I find it hard to believe that a business can be run like this. I should have known walking in on a Saturday night and there were few table sat...empty. We were greeted by a young man who had no business being a host. The server was slow and for whatever reason smiles on the faces of the staff were absent. The food was terrible. Frozen Italian dinners taste better. Coffee was cold, it was just horrible. Save your money and go anywhere else for a quality dining experience.

Very sad as it aws at one time a top notch place to dine.... or so I am told.

• Pros: bathrooms worked but were dirty and smelled...but they worked
• Cons: everything else

Not the best in town

by Antonerosa

We had friends visiting this weekend and came to Pasta Luna because of the ratings. Sorry to say that the ambiance was lacking. The service was mediocre and the food was average. They were out of alot of the choices on the menu. Very disappointed!! The desert was good.

WORST ITALIAN FOOD EVER...DONT GO HERE!!!

by melbnlfan

I just finsihed eating two minutes ago, and I felt like I had to rush right over to the computer and write a review, thats how bad this place is!

After getting out of work late, I decided to swing by Pasta Luna for some carry out. Bad decision, but I had seen reviews raving about the place, so I thought why not. When I picked up the food, I was shocked by my bill (my husband was out of town) for a meal for one. I ordered a side of mozzarella sticks and the gnocchi which came with a side salad. I figured that it cost so much because it was great, authentic Italian food. Not the case.

This was THE worst meal I have ever had. Right down to the side salad, which instead of a classic vinaigrette, was served with a half filled plastic container of olive oil. It was so bad, I had to add my own dressing from home to it to even eat it. Next, the mozzarella sticks (i use that term lightly) were absolutely disgusting, not to mention swimming in a pool of grease (and I like greasy food...) I couldn't even eat them.

By this point, I was just hoping that the gnocchi was going to be fabulous, to make up for everything else. I had asked before ordering if this pasta was homemade, because if it isn't, its not worth ordering, and there was a hesitation, and then a yes... I assure you those are NOT homemade dumplings. They tasted worst than the prepackaged kind you can by at Kroger for two bucks, I wont even get into the horrible tasting sauce...or maybe I should say the lack of taste, it was like the sauce from 'spaghetti o's'...gross.

This was such a disappointment. They should be ashamed to post "#1 Italian Restaurant in Richmond" The only way someone could think that, is if they had never tasted Italian food before...and they were paid to say it! I will never go back there again, don't waste your money...go down the street to Maggiano's, it'll probably cost less!

• Pros: nothing
• Cons: everything
