I just loved my experience at Luna Blu Ristorante. It was a very delightful experience and I will go back soon. I give it five star thumbs up. The food was Devine and so fresh. I can’t wait to go back and even if it’s curb side.ðŸ‘ðŸ½

Had a spur of the moment lunch party here.....with kids! Staff was so accommodating and provided fast and efficient service for an instant 16 top. The food was absolutely deliscious and moderately priced. I fed 16 people lunch for $240 including a 20% tip. Portions were spot on and everything went off without a hitch...even with a bunch of kids.

A cute, small Italian restaurant in Annapolis. Comfortable and very blue. The half soup and sandwich of the day from r lunch is reasonably priced. The butternut soup was very good, but the caprese sandwich lacked some flavor although visually appealing. I could not taste the red pepper spread and the tomato tasted like it had been refridgarated. Overall, a good place to eat for casual dining.Reply to response: a suggestion, add basil and balsamic

A wonderful little place in downtown Annapolis. The owner waited on our table and was super sweet. The food was amazing, and they offer a four course meal for $38. They also have a great wine selection.

My husband and I have been here on several different visits. The food has always been outstanding, the staff friendly and the atmosphere that of a local cafe. Their 4 course special is a great value as well.

I've had the same pasta both times I've gone here: Tortellini alla Romano, but i substitute the mushrooms for spinach. I actually dream about this pasta on a regular basis. It is amazing. The appetizers here are decent, the salads are fine but the pasta (the reason you go to a place like this) is everything I ever want and more. Minus one start because I dealt with the owner who is also their reservationist for a group reservation that I was making and she was terribly difficulty to deal with, to say the least. The service has not been exceptional either time. I will have to go again to change this 4-star to a 5-star, and I will also have to go again to get the tortellini. *chef five-finger kiss*

Words cannot describe the food served, fantastic. Also the only restaurant in town that carries a Riesling wine from the Mosel.

Fantastic food, friendly service, and great weekly and daily specials! Mon/Wed half price bottles of wine are a standard when we're thinking of dining out. The four course dinner (every day) for $38 is spectacular value as well! Do yourself a favor and visit Erin and her amazing team. Also, get the chocolate mousse.
Sandy Martin
Food is consistently good, prepared as ordered and presented with good flare by always a great waitress or Erin herself. The wine list will not disappoint. The specials offered are always fresh and plenty of food with each serving. If you are lucky enough to get reservations for the monthly wine dinners, don't miss out !!
Michael Brady
The food and service were excellent as always.

Ate here for the first time on Sunday 12/8/19 with my oldest sister and let me just say this place was phenomenal!!! Though small it had a distinct Italian feel and a welcome from the owner as soon as you come in the door added to feeling like family!! We got the crab brushetta-absolutely DELICIOUS! Then both got the bow tie pasta, with shrimp, scallops, and crab meat, which is made in an Alfredo sauce but they accommodated us by changing it to a rose sauce. Our food came out hot...not under a heat lamp hot, but fresh from the stove/oven hot. I topped it off with their homemade Tiramisu...yum! I was so into my food that I didn't take pictures...but I will on my next visit. And there will be a next visit!!!

Cannot rave enough about how wonderful it was to host a baby shower at Luna Blu back in January - my mom coordinated it from out of state and Erin went above and beyond in every respect. The food was wonderful, the service was friendly, and they really just made us feel at home. It was especially nice since I live in Maryland and all my family traveled down from NY for the event. Thanks for making it so special!
Kristi Pearce
We met a client for lunch here, and they recommended it to us. She was right! Great atmosphere. They have a good lunch menu with a pick your own pasta or soup/salad/Sandwich pick your own option. The caprese sandwich and spinach salad were delicious! Service was really good as well.
LaTondra Kinley
I had my surprise Birthday party here, hosted by my daughter. It was beautiful. The owner of the restaurant went out of her way to make the dinner for over 20 family members and friends and intimate occasion and it was a big success. I would definitely eat here again and again.

Meals were quite good and the wine selection was excellent. It's a small place but the atmosphere was pretty much what you might expect. The service during meal was friendly and knowledgeable but a bit slow, especially when we waited to be seated even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. No one came by to check while we stood there for a while. The salad was a bit plain, nothing unique but the seafood dish and dessert were excellent. I also had to alert the staff that the bathroom was out of soap...Not that I used the last of it but it obviously had been already empty. So a few smaller things make me feel like 5 stars isn't warranted but still overall a delicious and enjoyable evening, I recommended you check it out.
Erin Harrington
Luna Blu is just fabulous! Really fun staff, great service. Food is excellent! Wine selection is great. There weekly specials are a deal. The owner is the best. You won’t believe it till you try it.
Evan Jones
Cozy, intimate, reasonably priced and incredibly delicious. Will definitely come back!
Heather Scott
Food was excellent. Service was incredible. We sat outside and a storm came through. Although they didn't have the room really, they accommodated us.
Maria Tolson
FANTASTIC! Such a quaint space, it reminds you of being in Italy. You can’t order anything wrong on the menu.
Alan Lee
Of course the food is delicious- Italian with an Annapolis seafood twist. The plates are interesting and seem to be prepared healthily. Nice wait staff, but none better than the owner when she comes out and waits tables. That was nice. Location is easy to get to, with garage parking available nearby and (my last two trips) close-by street parking too. The dining area is painted blue, the tables are pretty close together, so it can be loud. The lighting is a bit dim, but most restaurants struggle with perfecting that. Overall, I think its a great choice for dining.
Felicia With Fins
I came here with my boyfriend for a nice date. The atmosphere and presentation of this place was superb. Staff was very friendly and attentive. 4 stars because The smell to taste ratio was less than favorable. Bread smelled incredible but wasn’t as good. Salads were delicious! The main entree (vegetable fettuccine) tasted a bit watery at first.
Deborah Redden
Luna Blu is my go to experience for fine Italian dining in Annapolis. I am never disappointed; the food is always excellent, cocktails perfectly mixed, and service incredibly attentive.Put it on your short list to either eat in or take out!
Tonita Hawthorne
Casey was great. The time attention and care she gave us was beyond phenomenal. I havent had customer service like that in a long time. Thank you for making my birthday lunch one to remember.
Mark Wilkin
Have only eaten at a few places in Annapolis so was open to trying nearly anything. A friend's child mentioned her favourite food is Italian so we started searching open table, trip advisor, and Google and found this place. When we walked in I noticed a magazine article that was about the restaurant and saw the owner's picture. Next thing you know that same face was showing us to our table. She was extremely friendly and attentive. All in all, the food was great and all four in our party were pleased with our choices. Penne with buffalo mozzarella, 4 cheese tortellini, and vegetarian pasta were all fantastic and the portions were huge. We'll definitely come here again.
Frank Cleveland
We really like the staff and service here. The scallops were well seared. My Penne Monte had an odd sodium aftertaste not sure if mild freezer burn in the shrimp or a seafood base being used in the sauce.
