"I went to this Italian restaurant in Sunnyside after seeing a 4.7 rating on Google. However, my opinion is a bit different. Don't be fooled by rating. First, the pasta was below expectations. The flavor of the ingredients wasn't fully apparent. Second, one of the two staff members had a very irritating and unpleasant attitude. Everyone at our table felt as if they were being ignored when taking our order. The only thing that was notable was the coffee. This is definitely not a restaurant I'd return to. New York City is a vast city, and there are so many friendly and delicious Italian restaurants."

"My family and I have been coming to SoleLuna for years — it’s one of those rare spots that just feels like home. ❤️ Everything on the menu is incredible (truly, you can’t go wrong), and the food is always made with care. As Sunnyside continues to change, SoleLuna somehow manages to capture both the old charm and the new energy of the neighborhood. It’s not just a restaurant — it’s part of the community, and one of the reasons we love living here. Highly, highly recommend. 🍝🍷"

"I googled for best restaurants in Sunnyside. Soleluna was one of’em. I walked in and sat myself down by a window side. Chelsea offered me the menus and water with a smile. 👍👏‼️ I asked for her recommendations and had Burrata to start with and Papardelle Al Funghi. She made my day-off! Every bite was delish and esp Papardelle was full of flavor. She and Nico stopped by a few times to ask me if I was enjoying!? This calls for hospitality! Attention to details. I chose to have Panna cotta, which she seconded as a very good dessert. It was a home run‼️🫶😋❣️It’s a beautiful room, great ambiance w music. Friendly service. The room was full of energy. This is my new destination for lunch! Kudos to chef/ owner and team 🫵🫡🫶‼️😋😋 luved it. Ty. Best presentations of dishes❣️❣️"

"The food was spectacular. I had a lasagna bolognese, and even though it wasn’t served the way I thought it would. It was delicious. I normally never eat salad but the Buratta, Insalata Sotto Le Stelle was both amazing. Limited options for dessert, I’d say go got the tiramisu. A friendly staff with a heavy accent but will get the job done and even more. Atmosphere is bar setting."

"Dining at Soleluna was an unforgettable experience, warm, welcoming, and bursting with authentic Italian charm. From the moment we stepped in, the service was impeccable. The staff was attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the food they were serving. It’s rare to find a place where hospitality and quality walk so perfectly hand in hand. We were pleasantly surprised to be greeted with free bread, a thoughtful touch, and honestly, not bad at all. A simple start, but it set the tone for what was to come. To begin, we had the Carpaccio di carne, a beautifully presented appetizer of thinly sliced raw filet mignon served with arugula, cherry tomatoes, and shaved Parmigiano. The flavors were bold and rich, though for my personal taste, the dish would’ve been even better without the Parmesan. The meat was already perfectly seasoned, and while the salad on top added freshness, the cheese pushed the saltiness a little too far. Still, a lovely dish with tons of character. The grilled octopus on mashed potatoes was an absolute standout, tender, perfectly grilled, and paired with the creamiest mashed potatoes. It was both rustic and refined, and the seasoning was spot-on. Our main course, the Trofie al pesto, was exceptional. The handmade twisted pasta had the perfect bite, and the basil pesto sauce was fresh, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. You could taste the quality in every forkful, it’s a dish that makes you close your eyes just to savor the moment. To drink, we enjoyed the Lime Caipiriñha a bright, refreshing cocktail made with Cachaça, lime, sugar, and club soda. It was balanced and crisp, a perfect contrast to the richness of the meal. We finished with the pistachio chocolate gelato, which was smooth, decadent, and just the right amount of sweet. The pistachio flavor really came through and paired beautifully with the dark chocolate. Every dish (with the exception of the Parmesan-heavy carpaccio) was perfectly seasoned and flavored, showcasing the kitchen’s skill and respect for good ingredients. If you’re looking for a special night out, this place will not disappoint. We’ll definitely be back."
