Went on New Years Eve and had a absolutely fantastic meal. However, the upstairs was dry and horribly hot. It had to be over 90 degrees. Server told us it gets so bad they close the upstairs in the summer. Maybe the owners should consider air conditioning! What a concept. I would definitely go back BUT only if I could... more

We forgot to make reservations at another restaurant, so we decided to check out Bella Luna. We ordered a couple of apps, and would reccommend the mussels with red sauce. Nice atmosphere and great location, we also got to sit in the window up front. more

We stumbled upon this unassuming masterpiece during a foliage trip on Oct 18 2008. We peeked inside, and the incredible aroma and the rare site of two chefs preparing dishes over fiery grills for all to see in the main room made it impossible to leave. It was easily the best meal my wife and I have had in a... more

Intimate restaurant with a great location on Market Square. We had a great mussels appetizer that would have been an awesome entree over pasta. Loved the thick, nicely cooked pork chop. I thought the food was great. We had a nice table by the window on the second floor, that's a good spot to request. The bar is super cozy... more

I had to rate this one high - it's where we got engaged - right on Market Square at Christmas time. Very romantic! But they were out of creme brulee for dessert - my only complaint. The food and the service were both excellent. more

Food is good, tho' not the best of its class in Portsmouth, service is fine, but the reason to go to this eatery is the charmingly romantic atmosphere, coupled w/ pretty darn good wine list. more

Bella Luna is located in downtown Portsmouth, a city with many good restaurants. We had a delightful meal, fresh tasteful salad, well prepared, warm entree and a selection of reasonably priced wines by the glass or bottle. Service was cheerful and prompt. The old building was a romantic classic site. Great Italian music played throught the evening. We'll return. more
