Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

My wife and I are in Delray for two weeks each year and have been going to Luna Rosa for years. We have always found the food and service excellent. This year we brought family and it was to be our special dinner of their...visit. Franco and his team did not disappoint us. The pasta dishes were all superior as were the fish dishes. Our server, Catalina, was very attentive and helpful to us in making decisions. Still our favorite restaurant in Delray.More

Third time for dinner . We gave it three tries. So disappointing.. the lack of service is appalling ! Some friends told us of another Italian restaurant in town with great staff and food - they warned us about the attitudes here- should have listened....We had no welcome except for the hostess who sat us. The “ gentleman “ who waited on us - no hello, never were asked if we wanted drinks , appetizers - just took our order. Couldn’t be bothered with us. Never delivered the check , never checked to see if we liked it - the real heroes here are the kitchen staff, Juan - should get so much credit - he was attentive , and smiled . No one smiles , they smirk . If you are a group of men , the attention to them is quite different. I imagine tourists go , and while the dinners are great , bread was just ok..you might as well get take out if you want their food. The owner must have been very generous to share the restaurant and profits with his employees - they certainly are not working for it. The lack of personality , warmth and kindness will surely hurt business in time . We so hoped they had changed. The restaurant was half filled , we would’ve understood if they were slammed.Not a full service restaurant at all. ( when in town , ask bartenders , locals and waiters at other restaurants - they all know …absolutely NO service. NONE. Ciao Luna, hasn’t been fun.More

As usual, the service and cuisine were wonderful. Franco was a gentleman and took care of our reservation with class as we arrived 30 minutes late due to a message from OpenTable reminding us our reservation was at 7:30 when in fact it was 7:00....Luna doesn’t even use OpenTable so we still can’t figure out how this happened but be aware and book directly with the restaurant. You will not be disappointed.More
