Bella Luna

Decepcionante, es la palabra que mas le cabe a este restaurant.
Las raciones que en un tiempo eran normales y hasta grandes, se han convertido en minusculas.
Ridiculamente poca comida, el tamano del vaso de limonada, es minimo y cobrado a precios astronomicos.
Ofrecen especiales del dia que van desde los 35 dolares por plato… la atencion, no esmerada y hasta ciert punto desafiante en su manera de tratar.
Pena que se convirtio en un spot turistico, donde solo se preocupen por vender, mas no por dar un servicio y una comida a la cuales estabamos acostumbrados.

Great Italian spot in Aventura mall. Best place to eat at the mall especially after a long day of shopping. Had a margarita pizza with prosciutto on top. On point.

This is an outstanding Italian restaurant in Aventura Mall. My wife had a veal dish and I had the red snapper. Both were excellent.
Our waitress was very attentive. The tables are far enough apart to provide privacy.
Delicious!

The food is good but the service sucks.
My friends and I went there today; we were 5 adults and an 18month old kid. The waitress brought a first check that didn’t include gratuity & when we all put our modes of payment together; she went to bring another check with all our Payment back & was denying that she had previously brought a check to us without gratuity– that was the first strike of dishonesty. The second was that the manager was counting the 18month old baby (who by the way didn’t eat) as an adult & charged us gratuity according to that. At the end of the day — all they cared about was their gratuity. He said he was charging gratuity according to a party of 6? How can you include an 18month old baby in that charge — who didn’t even eat. That’s my first and last time in this restaurant. They were rude and dishonest.

This place is like a hidden gem in the Aventura mall. The great bar /​Happy Hour menu Mon –Thursday. Nice size portions and excellent staff. When Im in the area I try to get here. The spinach ravioli. The lobster ravioli. or just chicken parm. match up with any New York Italian restaurant. I like it a bit better then Carpaccio for its easier access. Good place to try.

I think its convenient. It locates in the mall. The food is OK. I love the octopus salad.

Terrible! Ordered mushroom pasta, possibly made with real rotten mushrooms… horrible service, disgusting! I would avoid if I were you. I have never given one star to a place. But this place truly SUCKS!

Horrible!!! Avoid at all costs!!! Got a shrimp salad and got intoxicated, they were not even kind to take it off the check!!! TERRIBLE!!!

Entre una compra y otra
Un buen ambiente y un buen plato de pasta, entre varias de las mejores tiendas de Aventura? Bella Luna! Linguini alle vongole o allá Puttanesca son una buena selección

We loved it! The portions were huge and very tasty, a great lunch spot. We got one salad and one pasta and it was great. The artichoke salad was excellent. The rigatoni was perfectly cooked and very good.

The service was extremely spot on, always checking to make sure you are pleasantly satisfied which is big for me. The food… The food itself was delish. I have tried two different pasta dishes and both have made me smile and enjoy myself. I am a foodie and this place is definitely one to satisfy the fat boy in me.

I’ve loved this restaurant for many years. It’s the perfect spot to go after shopping and have a nice meal. They have some delicious dishes like Agnolotti Bella Luna (my favorite), Risotto alla Champagne, and Pollo Fantasia. All decadent and worth it! Still getting used to the «new» redesign but it’s nice that there’s a larger bar now. We’ve always had great food and service here for many years so I say this is a solid mall restaurant ESPECIALLY if you don’t want a greasy, big chain type place ;-)

Excelente Restaurant, italiano. Variedad, y bien atendido. En aventura mall, prosecco bien frío que es mi bebida favorita

Typical mall establishment, with slightly overpriced semi-​decent but definitely not phenomenal food. I do appreciate how they served warm freshly baked bread though.
Service was attentive in the sense that this girl kept on asking us if we wanted parmesan or pepper on EVERY SINGLE DISH we ordered. Even when it’s like vegetable soup — I just can’t really imagine it going very well with parmesan.
I am especially conflicted about the pizza. I had the focaccia alla romana, and while they clearly used very awesome tomatoes, super fresh arugula, and delicious prosciutto… it felt more like a giant mess tossed onto a piece of flatbread that keeps on falling apart whenever I make any attempt to eat it…

We love Bella Luna. We love it for lunch or dinner, especially outside when the weather allows it.
The menu is solid and the options are unlimited (appetizers, fish, pasta, meat).
The favorite appetizer: Calamari and Zucchini, they are crispy and the marinara sauce is amazing.
Other favorites: The carpaccio di manzo, the Fussili al telefono and the Risotto funghi.
Main courses are big so make sure you plan to share if you’re having appetizers. Strongly recommended wine list, not very expensive.
The only reason I don’t give them their fifth star is because the servers are very pushy with the very-​expensive specials, even when I make a point by saying what I want.
Marco is the best host this company has in all its restaurants, just accomodating and friendly like Gabriel in Carpaccio. I do miss Angelo, though!

Friendly. Very good service. Food is consistent, family style — a pasta with red sauce kind of place. They are good at what they do.

I’ve never been to bella luna despite working just a few feet away. I was under the impression that everything would be out of my budget, but I am happy to report that there are options on the menu that are budget friendly. One of my coworkers recommended I sit at the bar and order a pasta e fagioli.
You know the quality of a place by the first thing they bring out. The bread was extremely fresh; moist on the inside, crunchy on the outside. We inhaled that bread before our actual food came out. The server, whose name I did not get, brought our food shortly after. The pasta e fagioli was superb. It had a combination of beans, spinach and tiny noodles — which all worked well together. The server suggested I try the soup with cheese on top and that made it even BETTER.
The service and the amazing food has brought me back several times. I highly recommend this place for how consistent they are — just sit at the bar!

Best fish soup. Best warm bread. Pizza with added grilled shrimp was a great suggestion by their waiter. I always love coming here. I make a stop here for their soup even when I am not in the area shopping; it’s that good!

Don’t go. Extremely cold, people wearing jackets inside. Mediocre food. This is what you get when you eat at the mall. Not real italian food, why don’t they call it something else? You are better off at cheseecake factory.

La atención es súper buena, Fidel fue un dominicano que nos atendió y fue muy atento y cordial, la comida es muy buena, fresca y bien presentada, las porciones son decentes.

Great food and service as always… If you are at aventura mall and woukd like a nice meal try bella luna. Great service. Large wine list and consistently good food. Had appetizer mozzarella cheese and tomato, caesar salad and pasta with pomodoro. Nice cabernet savignon.

I absolutely love this place. I usually sit at the bar and I always have a great experience. The food and desert is amazing, my favorite is the ensalte pescatore for starters and you could never go wrong with their pasta dishes.

I come here just about everyday. The staff is amazing and management will always help if there is a problem. All are friendly and remember your name and always with smile on their faces. I love the bar staff since for us mall workers is the easiest place to find a seat. Highly recommend anything in the menu! Perfection!

It’s a decent mid-​level Italian eatery and about what you’d expect in a high-​end mall. This means while it’s quite a bit above food court fare, you can do better leaving the air-​conditioned confines of the shopping center.
That said, if you are shopping its convenient location might be enough to tip the scales and the food is certainly acceptable. The portions are quite generous and the bread service is also above par. Also, they conveniently have little coat racks for purses, etc. near each table.
I had pasta carbonara, with chicken added. I might note they were generous with the chicken. The pasta itself, while it tasted good, was a bit bland. Basically, the flavors were correct but they needed to turn-​up the dial on the intensity. The prosciutto in the pasta was also middling.
This tendency toward blandness was also evident in the Burrata (mozzarella-​based curd wrapped around cream) which was surprisingly tasteless. They likely did not use a real buffalo milk-​based mozzarella.
The service was extremely helpful and friendly, and they were also quite quick — which is appreciated in a mall setting.

Mi primera experiencia en Bella Luna fue Junio 2011 fui acompanada por un cliente que estaba comprando un apto en Bal Harbour y nos invito a almorzar a mi y a mi companera de trabajo, fue muy especial y les daria 100 puntos.
Quise repetir la misma experiencia y sugeri a mis amigos que vinieron especialmente de Pinecrest y mi esposo y yo de Weston, esperando que fuera un exito todo. Comienzo diciendo la comida sigue siendo excelente, la atencion de los meseros el principal puedo darle 100 puntos y el otro que atendia. verdaderamente no lo deben dejar solo todavia. Celebramos los cumpleanos de mi esposo y su amigo. pasamos un rato muy agradable. por supuesto el sitio estaba completamente full… eso para mi dice mucho, que es muy bueno el restaurant no muy poco despues de terminar de cenar, toda esta buena experiencia se cayo… primero comenzaron a quitarnos los vasos de agua, lo cual ya nos comenzo a extranar, por cierto fue una cuenta para mi opinion considerablemente alta mas de $ 200 de la cual hubo la comida, solo una copa de vino, y dos postres compartidos, al poco tiempo este mesero muy atentamente nos pregunto que si nos ibamos a quedar mas tiempo en la mesa… porque habia una lista de personas que querian comer… diganme uds… que hacen si algo asi les pasa… inmediatamente nos paramos y nos fuimos del restaurant. Antes de irme muy atentamente le comente al mesero mi disgusto y poca amabilidad, inmediatamente encima de nosotros quitaron el mantel con una rapidez increible. Mi opinion deben pensar bien antes de volver hacer algo asi a otro cliente.
