Reviews
The food was abundant, rich, and absolutely delicious. We started with a creamy chicken soup and a fresh garden salad, both of which were excellent. When we asked for bread, we were delighted to receive a plate of homemade fresh bread accompanied by Parmesan cheese—simply delicious.
For our main courses, we enjoyed a variety of dishes: cheese-stuffed ravioli in a decadent mushroom spinach Marsala cream sauce, a hearty seven-layer lasagna, sun-dried tomato chicken Alfredo, and Chicken Piccata with steamed vegetables. Every dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.
We ended our meal by sharing a piece of tiramisu, which was the perfect sweet finish to our evening. We all left thoroughly satisfied and are already looking forward to our next visit to Lunardi’s.
The hero sandwich was just what I needed. The soft sandwich bread. A nice size and cheese. The Italian sausages were just the perfect blend. I barely finished these entrees in 3 days.
You won’t go wrong here. There are no bad selections. The staff are personable and attentive. It is a great restaurant in the Quad cities area.
I’ve not been out to this particular shopping center in decades, but I’ve not had a reason to either. I think I remember visiting the Black and Gold shop back in high school, perhaps? I don’t really remember…
At any rate, Lunardi’s has a distinct hole in the wall appearance in this older-ish strip mall. That appearance kind of continues into the restaurant itself, most prominently in the 6 inch square red ceramic tile and rough brick and mortar walls. The bar, by contrast, looks like a relatively new feature in the space. Lighting is provided by a combination of recessed fixtures in the drop ceiling and suspended fixtures with soft incandescent bulbs within large jars. The whole of it comes together to give the place a feeling of being established in the space.
I opted for an order of bruschetta and sausage spaghettini. In hindsight, I probably ordered too much food, especially since the pasta came with soup or salad, for which I got the soup. The soup was a beef broth based sausage, vegetable, and egg noodle soup. I’m a huge soup fan, and this really satisfied! The sausage was tasty, and the broth had some real flavor depth.
The bruschetta was similarly fantastic. It’s not like bruschetta at many other places that ends up tasting like seasoned tomatoes on a toasted bread cracker. This bread had some toasty crunch, but was also fluffy and soft underneath. Contributing further to my enjoyment, it also had an oily/buttery/garlic spread under the tomatoes and cheese. Truly, this is great bruschetta!
The pasta was pretty good too. A solid marinara sauce, also containing well reduced peppers and yet again tasty sausage. The only light complaint Id have is it was enough pasta for about three people. No real issues there though – I took over half of it home with me.
I finished out my meal with a slice of tiramisu. This was yet another decision that I was really happy I made. This is now my favorite Tiramisu I. The area. The chocolate layer at the bottom and the coffee soaked Madelines still had some slight texture. The marscapone cream was sweet, but not cloyingly so, exactly as it should be. I’d dome back for this dessert alone!
But I’d also come back for another meal or three, also. You owe it to yourself to try Lunardi’s sometime soon if you haven’t. It has some good atmosphere, the servers are really friendly, and the food is great. Thanks, Lunardi’s!
It is like a mom and pap shop.
The staff is super friendly.
The food quality is good. The portion is right on. The soup is a bit on the salty side. The pasta is a bit cold.
The price is about 25 per person with tip, given that you don’t drink.
