Bella Luna Italian Bistro in Navarre - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I come here every time I’m in town. Excellent food and service. Bernadette is the best!!

Worst Italian I’ve ever tasted, made me and girlfriend sick after too. Olive Garden makes these guys look silly. My girlfriend got the carbonara and I got the chicken fettuccine Alfredo. Safe to say we won’t be coming back

Very impressive. The food and service were amazing.

Service was exceptional and food was very good. The only problem was there aren’t many options for people allergic to or don’t like the taste of mushrooms. Make sure to ask since mushrooms are in their sauce and it’s not listed on the menu.

Ordered to go. Food was very bland. Calamari was soggy and rubbery. Zero flavor. Waited 10 minutes at the desk for someone to greet us just to pick up our to go order. Also way over-priced. You're better off with Carrabbas or Olive Garden.

Bella Luna’s restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. The food came quickly and some of the dishes appeared to be entirely homemade. The only thing I would caution potential patrons about is to be sure and ask which dishes contain mushrooms; if you are allergic or don’t care for them. The server said they are in most dishes to add flavor but that is not indicated on the menu. The desserts were phenomenal.

Visiting from out of town and came here per recommendation of locals. This place is truly a hidden gem! Interior is inviting, staff are extremely friendly, and the food was wonderful. While everything we ordered was amazing, would especially recommend the chicken/shrimp Fettuccini Alfredo.

Bella Luna is fantastic! I had the Penne Carbonara and it was perfectly prepared and delicious. The staff is so friendly and attentive. If you like authentic Italian food, you will love this place!!

Just a little hole in the wall spot with AMAZING food. Stumbled on this place purely by accident, found the best fettuccine Alfredo I've ever had in my life. Would definitely go back and try more if we had time!

I just stood in your lobby for 5 minutes. Staff walked by and said nothing. I walk out. Four Caucasian people walked in behind me. The couple was seated immediately.

Authentic Italian for sure! So good! We got the seafood pasta and several other dishes. Highly recommend

Good food. Love the lemon chello cake

I drive an hour there and an hour back because this place is so good.

Authentic Italian cuisine, the Alfredo sauce is a must try and so is the limoncello cake.

Great place! So glad we had dinner there tonight. Delicious lasagna. Great service!

We just got take out food and it is just bad. The chicken in the penne alla rossini is the driest chicken ive ever had. My sons tenders were very soggy and my chicken marsala had a half a chicken breast and over 50 mushrooms. Definitely not worth the 60. The other issue is the guy at the front counter shorted me a few dollars - He said 36 is your change but gave me 32. Just overall not good.

Great atmosphere, wonderful food. My boyfriend and I wanted a break from all the beachside bars and restaurants and decided to go on a dinner date here. I was very pleased with the quality and authenticity of the dishes. Staff was pleasant and attentive. I will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area.

If I could give 0 or negative stars I would. I went for my birthday and was soo disappointed. You have to pay for the bread, the lasagna from a frozen box taste better than this place, couldn't get waited on and felt so uncomfortable in there.

Your service was excellent; our server was informative, polite, and attentive. We were promptly seated, and our food arrived relatively quickly. The dishes were delicious, from the bread and fried ravioli appetizer to the main courses. The fettuccine alfredo was particularly outstanding, and the vodka pasta was also quite good. It was my first time trying lamb, and it did not disappoint. The dining environment was very pleasant as well. Keep up the amazing work!

The food is way too expensive for the quality. Very standard/ slightly below average Italian food for double the price. Be careful ordering from their specials - it probably the expensive thing there.

Quaint local Italian restaurant... love coming here whenever I can. Make a reservation as they do fill up quick!

This place was just ok. I really wish there were better Italian options here.

Really enjoyed the evening at Bella Luna! Service was fantastic even though they were very busy, my waiter was attentive and professional. I love that most all of the staff are of Italian descent. I got the seafood special the evening I was there, which had fish, scallops, clams, and mussels. It was very good! The one thing I was disappointed in, was that the fish had ALOT of bones in it. So many, that I picked through and took all the fish out; consequently, I ended up with bones in my broth as well. I think this was (hopefully) a one time oversight, but it did spoil some of the enjoyment. I will definitely go back again, just won’t order anything with fish, to be on the safe side.

I’m so glad we found this place in Navarre. My husband found this gem while on vacation. I absolutely loved everything we ordered. The bread and garlic infused oil is out of this world. This is authentic Italian food! I had the penne carbonara and I don’t think I can ever enjoy it the same way any where else! The service is friendly and you feel like family. My young son loved the food so much he said it deserves a A +++ plusss. We will return next year to visit.

The appetizers were good, however the main dish (chicken piccata) was bland and tasted like it was from a can. The pasta water was clearly not salted, either.

Amazing service and atmosphere. The food was very good especially the lasagna.

Best Italian food I have ever had

Regular here for 8 years. Great food, staff and atmosphere. Ask about the daily specials!

Penne with some spicy sausage and mushrooms delicious

Excellent Italian food in a quiet and relaxed atmosphere with very friendly service.

Went yesterday with a few friends, my niece, and daughter, and had a great time. The restaurant was pretty busy but still had great service. We ordered quite a good amount of food, and everything was absolutely delicious. I’ve been to Bella Luna a few times already and everyone else first time, and they loved it.

Man, has this place gone downhill. I used to frequent this spot almost weekly from when it initially opened. The last few times I’ve had take out, the food has really lacked in flavor. Their bolognese and alfredo used to be my all time favorites in the area. Zero seasoning the last few times I’ve been. Also, $24 dollars for fettuccine alfredo with no protein? Unfortunately, it’s not worth it anymore.

Ok I've never had piccata that wasn't breaded. It wad kind of like slimy but the flavor was good. The bread was good. My mom got lasagna and it was cold. All in all wasn't that great. I'm surprised it doesn't come with a salad. Anyhow our waitress tried her best and did a good job

Very very good food,service and project

The bolognese and chicken piccata were very satisfying and made my husband think of his Italian grandparents’ home cooking. The garlic and herb oil dip complimented what we are sure are home made rolls perfectly. Paired with delicious wine and served by the delightful Bernadette, we will be going back for sure to have other yummy meals on the menu. This time we will save room for dessert!

Bella Luna always delivers in service, smiles, and food. I had the seafood platter with lobster, clams, shrimp, and amazing big scallops sitting a top some delicious noodles with a white sauce (available with a red sauce as well) all of which tasted absolutely delicious. My companion had the eggplant parmesan, which was also amazing; both are healthy portions. We were met with smiles, courtesy, and our table was attended to professionally and promptly. They have a good wine selection as well as a few beers to choose from, the atmosphere is always relaxing and beautiful with Italian music playing in the background...tastefully low. The bird at the table is locally and freshly made too, as our server told us. Multiple visits here over the years have always been a pleasure and though a little spendy, the food is on the mark every time I have been. We even stayed late and talked for a while at our table to which we were not met with any rudeness, though we would have cleared out should there have been a demand for the table of course. We are also not rude. Highly recommended, the host and wait staff were very pleasant, with a special mention for our server Gabriella, or Gabi as she introduced yourself. Very professional and attentive. Another extra mentioned for the chef, they really know what they're doing; I've been to Italy and sampled the food there as well.

Great food, servers and atmosphere!

Underwhelming. The food was not good, honestly. I was disappointed as I checked other reviews. Even the interaction from staff at pickup was mediocre. I probably won’t try it again.

Authentic Italian Surf. And turf was out of this world.

Ordered the special on New Year's, lobster ravioli with lobster tail on top. Waitress asked if I wanted the lobster tail in the shell or not in the shell, I said not. Ended up with no lobster tail at all and receipt even said no lobster tail, cut price in half. I guess I didn't pay for something I didn't get, but I ordered something that I didn't get also... Otherwise food was amazing and we'll still be back, hopefully different server next time.

Love this place, we are from out of town and have come to Navarre for the last 2 yrs around the holidays and we make sure we make it to eat here. We don't go once but at leave 3 times while we are here, even more if we are here longer!!

Fresh ingredients, homemade pasta, seasoned to perfection entrees. Wow, my mouth is watering. Yes, you will go back.

Honestly disappointed as I expected better. The bread was fantastic. But as someone who lived in Italy for many years this food is not it. Fettuccine Alfredo had half a cup of oil. Yet the pasta was unseasoned. Chicken was rubbery and chewy. Our server was clearly irritated when I asked if there was sausage In the pasta as I was told it had ‘a little bacon’ yet there were big chunks of what seemed sausage like in consistency. $65 for very bland food. Will not be returning. The gentleman was very kind who came out asking if we wanted something else made but as someone who does not enjoy seafood, or pork, and seeing the state of the fettuccini, I chose to take my losses. Giving it two stars because at the end of the day not all Italian can be true Italian.

The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful! Very authentic. The service was amazing, very friendly and attentive staff. We ordered the Fried Ravioli, the ceaser salad, the penne carbonara, the lamb, as well as two desserts ( tiramisu & chocolate moose cake ). Portion sizes were perfect, the fresh bread was beautiful baked. The food was very good and clearly made with attention and love. The desert was out of this world. Highly recommend, especially for a date night

Veal Parmigiano was mushy and soggy and the sauce had no flavor. I've always loved their food before, tonight it was very disappointing. My husband's dinner was also very bland, he couldn't finish it.

The food and service was fantastic everyone enjoyed the warm bread, the appetizers, main dishes and finished it off with cannolis and an incredible creme brulee cheesecake! Absolutely plan to be a repeat customer at this restaurant!

Great service but food was very bland and not worth the price. There was hardly any flavor to our two dishes- one which was over $40.

This is our second time eating here. The 1st time was delicious. This time not so much. My daughter and I order the fettuccine Alfredo and the noodles were really really firm. We were very disappointed, especially since I raved about this place to my daughter. My husband had steak and he stated the steak was seasoned and cooked well. He ordered a side of fettuccine Alfredo and his noodles were also hard. If I decided to go back, I will order something different. Someone else in our party ordered flounder and lamb chops and that was very delicious, so maybe I will try that if I go back.

Emanuele Messina is the greatest waiter I've had in 50 yrs pure professional.Treats you like family. THE BEST...It was my wife's 50th birthday.It was fantastic

A truly wonderful Restaurant! The best Ossobuco I have ever had. And our waitress Gabby was excellent! All in all a great experience!

Delicious food, excellent service, convenient location. We always eat here during each vacation stay. We highly recommend!!!!

Bella Luna is our go to for authentic Italian. Service is professional and warm, food is amazing. Love the intimate atmosphere.

Very good restaurant however very pricey if you are taking a large group. Service was excellent and food was good as well. Not a hotel as indicated by Google.

Very good Italian, will definitely be back!

I've probably eaten over 400 lbs of chicken parmesan in my life, but never have I had chicken parmesan that melted in my mouth. Superb is an understatement.

Excellent Italian resturant! Amazing menu. Pete is a very efficient server. Ask for him.

We were looking for somewhere to go on a date night without the kids. All the steak places looked too expensive. Reviews looked good, so we thought we'd try it. Not disappointed at all. Also, several reviews said that charged $1 for bread, but they did not. Fast and friendly, quality Italian food. We recommend you Check it out.

The food and service are superb

I enjoy that this place is a true and true local establishment. They care about their food and service and it shows.

There is only one issue that I'll get to at the end. We arrived before the Friday evening rush on 22 SEP, The food was great, especially since my wife isn't a pasta person. The dining area and bathrooms were clean, minus no hand soap in the men's restroom. The service was attentive. Here's the issue. The waitress walked by quickly and abruptly to state she was going to get some bread. Ok, that's expected at an Italian venue. It was good bread. I asked for the check, and there was a $1 charge for bread. Is $1 going to break the family who is eating out? No. If it's good bread, I'll pay for it, but the customer should have the expectation that the bread is not a "free" item to encourage future reciprocity. There is an expectation of fairness, sincerity, and transparency when supporting a local business, especially in a vacation destination. Will the $1 stop me from supporting that local business in the future? NO. Will the undisclosed/hidden fee (left feeling like I was decieved) stop me from supporting this local business? YES. The check was over $100 for three plates and three drinks. Have a great day, and enjoy our Emerald Coast.

We had dinner on a Saturday night. we chose this restaurant due to great yelp & google reviews. Under cooked noodles. Slimy risotto. Overcooked veal. Avoid & save your $$!

My husband and I split the penne carbonara and it was AMAZING!! Our server was a middle aged Italian gentleman and he provided good service. Only downside was our sliced bread was pretty hard and you’re charged $1.00 for it. They automatically bring it out even if you don’t ask for it. Call me cheap, but I wouldn’t pay for it again. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and will definitely be back!

Excellent food. Our server was Gabrielle and she was a delight. Gave us lots of recommendations, answered our questions and made some suggestions. The food came out steaming hot. I had the bolognese over gnocchi (a Gabrielle recommendation) and husband had the Linguine with white sauce, mussels,scallops,clams and shrimp. Excellent dish. The salads are large enough to spilt before the entrees. Don’t forget the limoncello cake. It truly has the limoncello flavor. Over all an excellent experience.

Amazing food! We ordered take out Linguini & meatballs with salad & bread! All food was still warm when we arrived at our rental house.

Wonderful local establishment with a wide ranging menu. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable and prepared a dessert of our friends with hearts added in honor of their wedding. Every entree was delicious and we enjoyed the filet with a side of pasta with bolognese, red snapper, and lobster ravioli. Desserts were equally delicious: cannoli and tiramisu. Whenever we are visiting Navarre we will make sure to include a stop at Bella Luna!

Very good Italian food, appears to be family owned.

There is not enough I can say about this place! Bella Luna is Top Notch! Food is spectacular! Atmosphere is perfect! The Ribeyes!! Omg! I got the one with Gorgonzola sauce, and my husband got whiskey sauce. They both were excellent! Our server Pete is the best! We got a tiramisu surprise for our anniversary. It was delicious! My favorite restaurant by far! ❤️

Went here for the first time last week while on vacation. It was the most enjoyable meal I have ever eaten. Went back the next day because it was so good! Our server was Emanuel, who is on top of every need you could possibly have during a meal. Pete was also very kind and friendly. The food is 5 star and the experience is a close second. If you're in town, it's a MUST try.

We first tried Bella Luna during our honeymoon last year and then came in again a couple nights ago for our wedding anniversary! Both times we had Pete as our server and he was absolutely AMAZING! We had wonderful experiences both times. The food is authentic and delicious. We will absolutely be returning every time we are in town! Thank you so much! 🇮🇹 ❤️
