It's been a week since our rehearsal dinner but we are still basking in the afterglow of our son & his bride's wedding weekend events.
Although it began a little shaky with the heavy rain earlier in the day, the rain subsided (almost as if on cue) just before the doors opened for our dinner. The staff helped put out the mini floral arrangements on the tables prior to our arrival which was such a godsend!
We had a large group of about 75 people and everyone complimented us on the food and the venue and in retrospect, we don't know that it could have been any better! So kudos to Darcey, her staff and chef for producing an outstanding event!!
Darcey's professionalism, attention to detail and everything in between was nothing short of wonderful and we are so incredibly appreciative of all her and Caffe Luna's efforts.
We wouldn't hesitate to recommend or come back for a special event in the future!
Very cool set up, nothing too crazy for decorations but it feels a mixture of cozy and elevated. The service was next level, our waitress was super thorough. The wine and food was delicious.
I had the crustacci ravioli.
We ate at Caffe Luna this evening. Didn't think of having a reservation, and they were pretty full. Maître d' asked if we'd mind sitting at a small table by the front door. It was perfect; away from the main seating (which sounded pretty loud). We people watched as we ate, and had a great time. There weren't a lot of people waiting in the front little lobby area where we ate.
Bread came out first; obviously made fresh. Served with olive oil and pepper, was a great start. I had Chicken Parmesan served with pasta - very tasty. My daughter had roasted chicken breast with rosemary roasted potatoes - the chicken looked dry, but she said it wasn't at all. Very good!
Recommend.

We hosted our rehearsal dinner at Cafe Luna and had a wonderful experience! We planned the evening with Darcey and she helped us make sure every detail was perfect. Our rehearsal ended up running over and our guests arrived early but Darcey helped us set everything up before the guests entered the room. The staff was very helpful too in setting up our flowers, candles, place cards and small video frame while also providing our guests with drinks to keep them happy. The menu was personalized with our names and rehearsal dinner date making a great keepsake for our family members. The food was delicious and everyone was served in a timely manner. We were very pleased with our decision to host our rehearsal dinner at Cafe Luna and have enjoyed coming back since.

My husband and I decided to host our rehearsal luncheon at Caffe Luna and we were extremely happy that we did!
We worked closely with Darcey throughout our entire event planning process, and she was always incredibly helpful and responsive. She always did everything she could to accommodate our group (ex. changes to kids meals, moving around tables/# of chairs at each table, checking with the chef to see if they could do a plated meal for us since we had a larger than normal group, etc.) and was quick to follow-up to any requests/questions we had. Her service and attention to detail were above and beyond, and we had the best time working with her!
On the day of our rehearsal luncheon, Darcey was also there to make sure everything ran smoothly. She even helped us put up our seating chart and distribute table numbers, and she ensured that all of our guests knew where they were sitting. Once dinner was ready to get started, the service provided by the rest of the staff was excellent! They distributed all of the food in a timely manner, and were extremely attentive to all of our guests. All of the food was fresh, hot, and incredibly flavorful. We had several guests rave about their dishes, and especially rave about the dessert we had as well. Whatever that cake was (chocolate marble?), it deserves to be highlighted to the highest degree - just when everyone thought they were full, that cake convinced them otherwise. 10/10!!!
Overall, we had the BEST experience hosting our rehearsal luncheon at Caffe Luna. The service provided by Darcey and the rest of the staff was exceptional. The food was delicious, and we can't wait to go back for a date night sometime in the near future. We can't highly recommend this place enough!!
We had our rehearsal dinner at Caffe Luna and cannot say enough positive things about Darcey and her staff. She was a pleasure to work with in coordinating our dinner. She was so kind, always quick to respond, and thorough in messaging. The atmosphere was perfect with our own entry door from the street to our private room! The food was delicious. The staff, phenomenal - very attentive and friendly. They were continually filling waters and clearing plates. After the dinner, many of our guests complimented how good the food and overall experience was. I am very thankful for this Caffe Luna team making our special night even better than we imagined. We highly recommend Darcey and her staff to make your rehearsal dinner wonderful! Thank you!
Service and food were all perfect! They were so friendly and nice. I ordered Pollo alla griglia and chicken was so moist and soft. It was very pleasant and lovely place that I wanna visit again. 🫶🏻
Love this place, have came here twice and been meaning to go back asap. This is one of my flavorings restaurants in Raleigh, like top 3. The free bread with olive oil is great, appetizers are great especially the portobello mushroom one. Entrees are great as well for the price. Great quality in food, service, and atmosphere!
Calamari and the bread for the table were a good combination.
The farfalle al salmone was a really good sauce and pasta they were better highlights than the salmon.
Also recommend Taglierini del Golfo full of flavor.
Was reminded tonight that I need to eat here more often! Service was wonderful and food even better. Lots of options to pick from. They have both vegetarian and gluten free options. Very reasonably priced too. I would recommend. Cheers!
We had our rehearsal dinner at Caffe Luna on 10/13 and I cannot sing Darcey and her team's praises enough! Darcey was amazing to work with and was super responsive.
Caffe Luna is one of our favorite restaurant's in Raleigh and we were so happy that we got to share it with our family and friend's before our wedding. If you are looking for a place with great food and a great service, Caffe Luna is the place for you!
Visited here as part of a wedding rehearsal dinner. The restaurant staff did a wonderful job of handling our meal considering there 45-50 people in attendance.
The decor is nice, stylish but not stuffy.
The food was of course from the catering side but I would expect similar dishes appear on the regular menu.
Food was all good. Pictures show a couple of antipasto selections, then the Cesar salad and finally, orecchiette with broccoli and sausage.
Not pictured but also good was the cheesecake.
When we return to the area, definitely would return.
This was our first time here as we celebrated a dear friend’s milestone birthday. Nestled in the heart of Downtown Raleigh, Caffe Luna is a mix of old world charm with the contemporary. Parties of two’s and four’s filled the restaurant enjoying good food, good drink, and good company. The wine list was impressive as was the bountiful bread with olive oil and pepper. The entrees were a feast for the eyes and stomach. My spicy shrimp linguine was perfectly seasoned, the pasta perfectly al dente, and the shrimp perfectly succulent. Finally the dessert. I’m usually not a dessert man but I don’t say no to tiramisu. It was perfect as was the evening dining, celebrating, and reminiscing with good friends.
Food was delicious and service was great. My son and I wandered in not having a reservation, but was offered an outdoor table overlooking beer/wine garden of bar downstairs. Weather was fairly mild so we opted for that. Turned out to be a great decision.
We were the only ones out there and I was afraid they'd forget about us. On the contrary, our waiter and other staff were very attentive! We had a beautiful meal enjoying lights and sounds of downtown Raleigh.
Do yourself a favor and go to this place for dinner. I came here for birthday and my food was absolutely delicious. The dessert was delicious. Everything was great. You know 10 out of 10
