My husband and I recently frequented Lunardi’s for a rare night out on Saturday. While there was a crowd, we were told that the wait was about 25 minutes and we had a seat at the bar. Over an hour later, we were finally seated. I ordered a glass of wine and the server forgot about it. Twenty minutes later we asked the server again for the wine. He apologized and promptly delivered it to our table. We had a pretty tasty meal and asked for the check when we finished. The server dropped off the check and then forgot about us for another 20 minutes. He apologized and thanked us for our patience, but by now we were irritated. I feel like we spent half of our rate night out waiting. Bottom line, good food but the service is lacking.

I stopped in here for the first time for lunch, and I am utterly impressed with both the food and staff. I had the lasagna, which was phenomenal. It had great texture as well as being smothered in cheese. The salad with their dressing was great as well. I washed it all down with a Peroni draft, getting another thumbs up. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The prices were good, and I would recommend this place to anyone.

The Deluxe Elaganza deep dish pizza is truly wonderful!!! Nothing else like it in the Quads. Try it, you won’t be disappointed!

So many wonderful dishes from which to choose. Decided on the lasagna based on other reviews. It was absolutely the best I have ever had. The other reviewers are right on about the portion size. I ate all I could and the leftovers fed both my husband and I the next night. The atmosphere was quiet and relaxing. The waitress was helpful and very pleasant. It was a very enjoyable night with good friends. We visited the restaurant on a Tuesday night and the bonus was half off bottles of wine. We will definitely work our way through this menu!

Drove past Lunardis many times on my way to Olive Garden. Always said we should stop there, but never had. Stopped in the other night, I will say the location in a small run down strip mall has always been a turn off for me, but we gave it a go. We were offered soup of the day or minestrone, the soup of the day way minestrone with meatballs. Sounded like leftover soup they just added meatballs to. Instead we had a good salad. I ordered their«famous» lasagna and my wife ordered the chicken Marsala. The lasagna was delicious, many many wonderful layers including sliced Italian sausage and pepperoni. I am a big guy and I took home half of this. My wife was quite impressed with the Marsala. The French bread was very good as well. The only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is the lack of the same detail they gave to the main course on the starters. Good trip.

Love this little hole in the wall restaurant. I’ve been twice and enjoyed the food both times. Lasagna was terrific and HUGE! Had enough food for a full meal the next day! Second time, I had the chicken parmigiana. Again, enough food for a full meal the next day. Two full chicken breasts. Atmosphere is quaint. Brick walls, dimly lit. Sat at the bar the second visit as there was an hour wait. Got terrific service both times. I plan to go again when I’m craving Italian. I like the ambiance here better than biaggi’s. Average price for a meal is $ 15-$ 18. Worth the price since there really is enough food to either share or have leftovers for a full second meal.

Been eating here for many years and I’ve never had a bad meal or poor service. In fact, they have the most professional waitstaff of any restaurant in the area. Lasagna, mixed grill, linguine carbonara and shrimp provencale are my favorites, all excellent. Our favorite spot for a special night out.

Very good. If you are looking for Italian, skip Olive Garden and head here! The food is 100 times better! Fresh and delicious. It’s a little more pricey, but so worth it. Everyone loved their food. Sadly the children next to us were noisy and it was hard to have a conversation. This isn’t a place for kids perse, I think they had a kids menu, but this is not a place I’d take kids to. We went at lunchtime. Waitstaff was pleasant. We will definitely be going here instead of Olive Garden. Yes, the food is a little slow coming out, but it’s being made FRESH. People need to understand that when food is being prepared fresh, it takes longer to prepare. This is when you enjoy the company of the people you are with. If you want faster food, go to Olive Garden.

I don’t go to Lunardi’s often but took family from out of town for lunch today. As alway fantastic food in a small non pretentious atmosphere. I had the Carbonara followed with tiramisu. I would say if your in Davenport Ia and looking for something near North Park mall that isn’t a chain restaurant, try Lunardi’s.

The waitstaff is pleasant. The food was authentic. I had the chicken marsala which was a cream base sauce on the sweeter side than I’m used to. However, the chicken was tender and the dish was well crafted. I loved the bow tie pasta! My mom had the bugatta(sp?) Which was hearty and the sauce tasted of sweet, homegrown tomatoes. Add in a couple of beers and it was a good meal. My only thought: the bread could have been served with the salad instead of the entrée. In reality? Who cares! !!! The food is good. For similar to same price as half-rate, corporate Italian restaurants — come here and have a meal you won’t want to forget.

A favorite alternative to the over-crowded Olive Garden down the street, Lunardi’s has great food that you don’t have to wait eons to get. At dinner, try the lasagna but consider splitting it with a friend because it is HUGE! Get their blue cheese dressing on the salad… yum! We go there often and it has become one of our favorites. You can get seated(usually) in a few minutes if not right away. Their creamy chicken soup is really good, too. Wish they had it more often.

Kind of disappointed. Food wasn’t all that good like they seem to claim and service was at some point a bit rude. We were there for a business dinner and all of us were ready to pay with our corporate cards(AMEX)…well nope, they didn’t accept AMEX, so we just paid out of pocket. The location was hard to find. My GPS keep driving me somewhere else, I went back and forward the same main street for several minutes… anyways, found it and won’t come by ever again.

Bet Italian in the Quad Cities! The mixed grill is the best pasta entrée on the menu and the garlic dressing can’t be missed!

This place has a local reputation that is not deserved. We stopped in last week-end and were not impressed. The maitre d’ was abrupt and provided no assistance when we asked to look at the menu. The service was slow — even though we were ahead of the evening rush. The food was only average at best — the pasta dish I ordered was heavy on the pasta and very light on the chicken & sausage. It would be more accurate to describe it as angel hair pasta with meat flavoring. We will not be going back.

This is a warm, homey family restaurant, with amazing Italian food. From the standards of spaghetti and lasagna, to fantastic pastas like Chicken, cashew pasta. Angel hair with chicken, mushrooms, cashews and water chestnuts in a wonderful olive oil with green onions! It is an amazing taste, and wonderful crunch. My favorite meal there. And if you go on Friday, they have a super clam chowder! My husband had steak Marsala. The steak was cooked to perfection, served with bow tie pasta and mushrooms in a wonderful creamy Marsala sauce. Nice wine list and a perfect Friday night date night!

Good service but it took forever to get food. Average Italian at best.

We ate here over the weekend, the food for the most part was just average and certainly nothing spectacular. The variety on the menu leaves much to be desired. It also wasn’t busy when we dined, however we had a difficult time getting our check and subsequently paying for our meal as our waitress was often missing, which is quite a nuisance when you are dining with children. Pricey for what you actually get, both in quality and portion size. Not a lot of menu variety. There are much better Italian food establishments in the Quad Cities if you are looking for Italian.

Italian place in Davenport. I have to say, I was not impressed at all. Service was alright, but if you’re looking for quality italian food, this place leaves much to be desired. The dishes that we had were neither enjoyable to eat nor did I feel they used quality ingredients. Also, went during a weekday at lunch hour, so it wasn’t busy, but it seemed that our food took way too long to bring out.

Haven’t been here in a loong, loooong time but if you haven’t visited, it is a great place to dine. Kinda dressy/casual, dark and not too big. Their sausage and sun dried tomatoes in a cream sauce and their pesto covered cheese raviolis are what got me started and interested in Italian cooking. Service has always been great and I will definitely dine again when I visit the Quad Cities. Just ridiculously great Italian! Check it out! It’s across the street from NorthPark mall and next to LensCrafters, I believe.
