I n a historic building on Eastern Avenue in Linwood is Bella Luna Café. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the eclectic and funky décor inside. Mismatched plates add to the charm while the candles and vintage artwork brings out the warmth of this cozy restaurant; perfect for intimate dinners or simply getting together with friends. Owner Harry Stephens says, “We treat everyone like family, if you’re looking for a fancy place with white table cloths, it’s not us.”
Harry and his wife Gay opened Bella Luna in April of 2003. Since then they have continued to improve on this already perfect little café. One of the changes came in September of 2012 when they welcomed Executive Chef Christopher Lambert; who continues to honor the traditions already established but offers his expertise and flair to the menu as well.
The “Scozzafava” and “Pettinato” families’ influence is represented and celebrated throughout the menu with classic dishes like Prime Rib Cannelloni, Lobster and Crab Ravioli and Eggplant Lasagna. These dishes will still be available when the menu changes for the season in May.
Not sure which wine will go with your meal. A wine connoisseur, Harry personally selects the wines to compliment the menu. Wine flights are available in four enticing options providing a range of flavors for every palette. The “Mystery Wine Bucket is an excellent way to add a little intrigue to your already illuminating evening.
Since spring is finally here visit Bella Luna Café for a great evening out; and after an incredible meal enjoy live music on the outdoor patio every weekend. Harry enthusiastically shares, “We treat everyone like family so they enjoy the experience and come back soon.” If the friendly staff doesn’t keep you coming back the cozy atmosphere and delicious food will.
