Really loved this restaurant, well spaced tables, great menu, interesting wine list. The service was friendly and attentive. Food came out promptly. The home made pasta dishes were delicious, my wife said her steak was perfect, and my suckling pig had 3 generous sized pieces that were all tender. The eatability special offer of 3 courses for $49 made this meal a bargain for this quality of restaurant. Well done.

 

Response from Management:

Thank You for taking the time and writing such a positive review. We have recently put alot of time into out restaurant's layout and improving the overall ambience, which you seemed to have noticed.
Making the patsa to my Nonna's Old recipe with our own organic eggs really makes a difference as you so kindly expressed. The steaks both the Wagyu and the 140 day grain fed are of the finest quality and i glad that they where enjoyed.
The $49 special is proving very popular as it does give diners a choice off the full ala carte menu for only $49. Thanks for your kind words about Cala Luna it is really appreciated and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

Shhhh.... don't tell too many people about this one only close family and friends. Its a delightful little italian with a real family feel set up by the polite and attentive waitstaff who make you feel at home.

The food is a product of love and devotion and it really shows. It was one of those rare dining experiences when you don't know what to expect but are churlishly surprised at every turn, it made a truly memorable experience. This humble little restaurant at the Spit really delivers inspired food without all the bigtown pretence from across the creek. Can't wait for our next visit!

 

Response from Management:

Thank You so much for these kind words about Cala Luna. I am blessed to have a great team of staff behind that tirelessly work to deliver the best to our clients. We have restaurants in our family for over 40 years so we do treat our dinning room as our home with warm and friendly service. Food is our passion (as you mentioned)as we source the best produce available without compromise and its great to hear that this is appreciated. Look forward to seeing you again soon.

We've just returned from a fabulous dining experience at Cala Luna. Between my husband and myself we ordered: Entree: beef carpaccio and the special scallop carpaccio. Main: Wild boar and guinea fowl lasagne. Dessert: Citrus selection of four and duo of chocolate. The food was exquisite, service was impeccable and the value was sensational ... we'll definitely be back!!!

 

Response from Management:

Thank you for writing a review so promptly and the kind words. The scallop carpaccio is a new dish and proving to be very popular with the prosecco jelly. The gunea fowl pasta is also a new addition that i am really glad that you enjoyed. The mixed selection of desserts has always been popular because of th array of flavours that they offer. Thanks once again for your extremely kind words and we do look forward to seeing you again shortly.

Really enjoyed our meal at Cala Luna, the Angalotti was amazing and the beef was cooked to perfection, I tasted all dishes at our table, the suckling pig was delicious as was the whole barramundi. Desserts were original and just the right size for 2 to share! Perfect for a romantic meal. Staff were friendly and helpful. Service was prompt. The restaurant was a bit noisy which was a little annoying! The price was reasonable and good value. Overall a big thumbs up from me!

 

Response from Management:

Lou27 Thank You for taking the time to post a review on eatability it is appreciated by us all @ Cala Luna. We aim for the WOW factor in all our dishes that come out of kitchen through combining Italian traditions with the Freshest Australian Ingredients. The agnolotti is a good exapmle of this using Northern Italian cheeses with house made Italian pasta.
The Fish and the meat i source from several butcheries and fish suppliers. The Eye fillet is 140 day grain Fed and in the past few weeks we sourced from the Darling downs region in QLD. Anyway thats enough talk from me thanks for your review we are glad that you enjoyed it, and we can't wiat for another thumbs up!

I found the service to be quite good, a pleasant waiter. I guess it is like any other restaurant, it depends on which waiter you get. The food was very good indeed. Recommended for good Italian food.
