Luna Rossa — Restaurant in New York

My favorite pasta dish here is the paccheri with sweet sausage and mushrooms. I also have throroughly enjoy the carbonara, and the calamari with fried shrimp and vegetables is always a great starter. You can't go wrong with any of the desserts either.

There was a special once that was a ravioli dish with veal, sage, amaretto, and raisins that my mom is still raving about a year after having it. The only thing I haven't loved here was the riggatoni with eggplant, but only because the menu offers so many other choices that I happen to prefer.

Overall, food had good taste and we were served promptly. Food was good but cold except the 28 dollar past for my kid. Ironically , the soggy chicken parm was 26$. In my opinion, no reason to come here with so many very well run Italian places in the area. Really sad they get away with this. We felt we were a tourist...
