Description

Tucked in Montclair, this upscale spot showcases creative, lovingly prepared dishes, standout cocktails and a recently renovated bar that locals praise. It’s a favorite for special occasions and stylish dinners, with a chef-driven menu that many call exceptional. Service and policies are inconsistent: reviewers report both top‑notch hospitality and inattentive staff, plus a strict no-babies-at-the-bar rule that frustrates some families. Portions and décor drew mixed reactions, but overall the kitchen and drinks program keep diners coming back.

Tuna Pizza is highly recommended

I eat at Lunello's about once per week, and every item is delicious.

Poor service, very inattentive waiter. Paying top dollar at a restaurant one would expect at least a good waiter. Food was mediocre, besides small portions. Christmas less than two weeks away and zero decorations. Decor was tired looking ‘80s style. We won’t be coming back, there are so much better restaurants in Montclair and more reasonably priced.
