[Bella Luna Restaurant
Restaurant Review
Amid the range of dining options in the Gaslamp, one shines brighter than the rest: Bella Luna. The Italian restaurant, which opened in 1992, is one of the oldest restaurants on 5th Avenue; its success clearly stems from the stunning cuisine that comes from its kitchen. Chef Vito Sciannamea prides himself on quality and freshness, ensuring that pastas are made on premises, vegetables arrive fresh from the farm, and house-made sauces are so vibrant that you can taste individual ingredients. Dishes range from simple to decadent, spanning the range of regional Italian cuisine. If you can, save room for dessert—they are prepared in house and are nothing short of beautiful.

Title: | Not So Special |
We were visiting San Diego for Father's Day weekend and Dad wanted to have dinner in Little Italy. I went online and found a three-course coupon special for Bella Luna instead. When I called to make the reservation, I specifically asked the hostess what the courses were and she said, "Whatever you want." When we were seated, I showed the coupon to the server (who said he had never seen one before) who had to go to the kitchen and ask for details. He returned to the table and informed us there was a set menu and we ALL had to get the coupon offer or NO ONE could get it. Dad didn't care for any of the entrees and offered to pay extra for what he wanted, but they said no dice. The restaurant was not at all crowded, the food was good but not outstanding, and I was totally embarrased we didn't go to Littly Italy. Our server put on a brave face but even he couldn't believe how inflexible the policy was since the place was nearly empty.
