Overpriced and overrated

The signature cocktails were too sweet (and expensive for Brooklyn at $11 a pop) and service was sub par. The bill came out to be $75 per person for some shared bruschetta, wine and a (small) entree per person. It seemed a bit expensive for a place that won't give you a clean fork and spoon between courses.

We did not have a reservation, so we waited for a seat at the "bar" along the open Kitchen and decided to eat there. The service was terrible in the beginning (the hostess was nervous, uncomfortable and rude - taking phone calls and adding people to the waiting list while we, and others, were lined up waiting to speak to her - we were not the only ones that had to complain). But the food, was really , quite amazing and put us at such ease. Watching the kitchen, we began to get excited about what to order - the food looked amazing, we sampled several appetizers, each delicious. And then moved on to their perfectly made pasta. The food was well seasoned, well cooked, simple and flawless. What a lovely surprise. I recommend not only the restaurant, but sitting at the bar with the opportunity to see how all this amazing food is made!

I must have Lunetta's delicious, fresh fare at least every other week. If there's ever a reason to eat carbs it's Lunetta's Carbonara. Drinks won't disappoint either... best 'Ol Fashioned' ever. Service is fantastic as well.
