The food is outta this world every time we go. It's never disappointing. This is one of our favorite restaurants! Although last night about 4xs 3 different people kept coming to our table trying to take our plates while we were still eating our dinner... Then we got the bill before I even had enough time to get my credit card outta my wallet the waiter was trying to take check. We really like this place a lot but last night we were extremely annoyed with the service. Other then that we both ate like pigs and had a good time!!!
I was truly impressed with the renovations at the bar. My friends, who have been regulars here for many years, joined me for dinner tonight, and we all found the encrusted pistachio salmon with Dijon mustard to be just as delicious as we remembered. Chef Lou is amazing! A big shout-out to the bartenders, Deana, Justine, and Laura, who made us feel so welcome and appreciated. We will definitely be back. The food and service were outstanding. By the way, I noticed "The New Guy" written on my check—what a nice touch!
We visited this restaurant once and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. The steak was not good at all and we ended up having to send it back, which is something we rarely do. The calamari was just mediocre, especially considering the high price. I even had to request espresso beans for my espresso martini. While the staff was friendly, the overall quality was definitely not what we had hoped for.
Terrible service. We counted 8 servers milling around our dining area, but we waited 25 mins to have our order taken. We finally had to ask to have our order taken and there were only 4 people in the dining area! We hoped the food would make up for the service but it was mediocre at best. Go elsewhere if you are looking for an elegant dining experience.

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.
I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. It had been quite some time since I'd had a truly great Italian dining experience. While the service could use some improvement—there were delays with small items like drinks, seasonings, and dessert—the quality of the food and the warmth of the staff more than compensated for these minor inconveniences.
I have been to Lu Nello several times and have always had good food and service. Courteous staff Well organized Must try the Scungilli salad Bread pudding is out of this world!! Good place for a business dinner and celebration Will go back for sure.
Great food and atmosphere. The service is incredible, everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome and cater to you. Always a terrific way to spend an evening.

From the minute we walked in we felt welcome and the experience improved with excellent service and food
I eat at Lunello's about once per week, and every item is delicious.
