Lunardi's

My first time trying this restaurant was on Sunday, 23 January with a group of girlfriends. The atmosphere was nice and our server was amazing. We kicked off our dinner with Calamari and a lovely bottle of Moscato. The calamari was crispy and juicy, dipping sauce was really nice. The Moscato was nice and sweet with a little fizz--highly recommend!

Before the main course came the salad. I choose the creamy garlic dressing, one of the dressings made in-house. Honestly, the dressing was that spectacular even though it came highly recommended but it was still good.

For the main course, I ordered

The absolute BEST shrimp Alfredo I have ever had! The lasagna was very delicious too. Definitely will be back!

Food was delicious and our waitress was very polite and just all around wonderful we heard about lunardis from friends and thought we try it and we will be going back alot

I ordered the chicken fettuccine alfredo, and my wife ordered the sizzling chicken salad to go. My chicken alfredo came with really good alfredo and sauce, but the chicken was 3oz tops, was not succulent instead came tough and was enough to have a small piece of chicken with 7 bites of the meal, and after the chicken was gone i was left with 25 bites of fettuccine alfredo with just sauce. For $20, the most i have ever paid for chicken fettuccine alfredo ever, this does not even come close to the price point they are charging. (I lived in kansas city, and they charged $15 for allot better) My wife

They deleted my first comments on Facebook and removed me from interacting so it must me true. I’ll bring my review to google because I feel people deserve the right to have their OWN OPINION. Clearly something shady is going on if they are begging for employees on Facebook.
But the food might be good here but it really isn’t you can get the same at Olive Garden.
We all must come together and think why this company is failing do to lack of employment.
Is it because they don’t pay properly?
Does the management take care of the employees. Are they doing diligence with keeping employees

This place is busy.
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.

Lasagna, lasagna, lasagna!!!

You can't beat their food for the price. Service is always friendly ... I've eaten at the bar and the dining room... just a nice atmosphere!

I'm thrilled that they came back after the fire....

Keep up the good work!

Mediocre at best... use to be better. Iceberg lettuce is basically water leaves. Hard pieces in the noodles either from over cooking or drying up on the side of the pan. No flavor on house dressing. Sorry Paul, won't be returning.

Great late lunch , disappointed with the bartender but meal was more important. I ordered a cashew chicken salad to go for late dinner. First there was no bread, ok no big deal, salad was horrible and small! 6 cashews, no tomato, no croutons and the lettuce was straight from a bag mix! Wasted $10.99. I've ordered this salad for over 20 years and I've never had a bad one. Hopefully it was just a bad night!

TIE provided us with exceptional, efficient, cheerful service. The food portions were large enough to share or take left overs home. The lasagna was flavorful and cheezy. The Bugatti was yummy. The atmosphere pleasant with Old Blue Eyes crooning softy.
Not too busy. $$$

Always been a family favorite for many years. But this is first time we've done carry out since Covid. The food was great and the order accurate (there was 6 of us in one order). And The service was outstanding! I'm on a new (doctor ordered) low sodium diet. Spoke to Courtney and she worked with the chef to alter my fav dish-Cashew Chicken Pasta-into a low sodium version. When we picked up the order they were busy and full of youthful, hardworking employees. If you haven't been here in a while, I highly recommend them!

Very good Italian food. Lots of choices from appetizers to salads, pastas, deep dish pizza and more. Usually not too long of a wait to get in. Very friendly staff and pricing is pretty decent also. I love their famous lasagna. So much food that I usually bring home half of it for lunch the next day. I would highly recommend checking them out. Pictured is what was left over for lunch of my lasagna so huge portions when served.

The lasagna is the best in the area. The portion is large enough for two people to share if you just add an extra salad.

For the Love of Deliciousness!!
Why hasn't anyone I know told me about this place!!

The lasagna is absolutely amazing. As is the clam chowder. I highly recommend trying this place. Just be aware that it is a bit pricey. Aside from that, no complaints. Great food, perfect place for a date, or family get together.

Visited Lunardis after a recommendation and they are so nice and welcoming. It's a nice local restaurant that has good food and excellent service. II has the chicken Parmesan and it was great. It was a little more expensive then I thought it would be but I it's a great portion. I will be back.

In a tiny strip mall near Northpark, this family-owned Italian restaurant is easy to overlook, but you should not! They have some delectable entrees, including the sausage with sun-dried tomatoes, the veal marsala, and my personal favorite, the fettucine vongole. Because it is a smaller restaurant, it is more quiet and intimate than Biaggi's, or its Northpark neighbor, Olive Garden. All the wait-staff are attentive, and knowledgeable of the menus and specials. The management is very hands-on, making sure dishes are expedited carefully and the kitchen runs smoothly. I have been to Lunardi

From out of town I was recommended the lasagna, which is why I came. The first time we went in they gave us a 30 minute wait time while there were open tables. While the lasagna is good they should offer it in smaller portions so you don't have to pay $20.

As for the rest of the dishes they lacked flavor or visual appeal, and still had a higher price point then what you would expect from a strip mall restaurant.

Not terrible but would not recommend for the price, you can get the same anywhere else or even make it.

Has always been a fave...hubby and I went for dinner and left. Were there well over an hour and only received salad and drinks. Tables that sat down at the same time as us ate and left. Never saw our waitress so we asked a busboy to find her and told him we never got our food. Saw our waitress and other staff so went up and she said " I don't know what happened, I put your ticket in" but we never got our food. Not one oerson said I'm sorry.. ...we were charged for salads and drinks and left. Too bad, we have been going there for years ..

Ordered carry out from Lunardi's and they said it would be 25 to thirty minute it took just short of a hour. Had to wait that's always a bummer. Ordered pizza and lasagna heard good things but they use to much cheese it over powers the other ingredients. Order side Caesar salad it was a garden salad with honey mustard. It sucks when you get home and your order is wrong. Maybe they are just having a off night. Will try again sometime but it's differently not our go to place. We sure were hoping for better. You pay above average price you hope for more.

I wanted to like this place based on the reviews and I'm really sorry to write this as it seems to be a local favorite, but I have to be honest. Maybe the kitchen was having an off night but my food was horrible. The clam chowder obviously came out of a can and had the consistency of pudding, kind of like they didn't add enough milk when heating it up. It tasted okay and I did eat it mostly because I was really hungry. I ordered Tilapia Parmesan and the menu said it would be a crusted filet with a mushroom cream sauce drizzled on top with a side of pasta with the same sauce. What I

A don't miss location when in the Quad Cities. I drive through the area once a year and have visited Lunardi's every time. Wonderful service and very authentic Italian food.

Don't be fooled by the strip mall location. This is a great Italian restaurant! After reading a lot of great reviews I had planned on eating here a while ago, only to find it was closed due to a fire. Very happy it opened back up!

Large portions, friendly service and nice atmosphere.

We went to Lunardi's over the weekend and had a very good experience. It was my second visit, and I just really enjoy this restaurant. Our waitress was great, and it was homecoming night somewhere so opportunities for people-watching abounded.

I ordered Lunardi's famous lasagna and it didn't disappoint. It came out, cheese still bubbling, portioned large enough to feed a small village for a week. I had a ton of leftovers, naturally, and was able to inspect the various layers; one is solid meat and another is PEPPERONI. Amazing. My companion ordered fettucini alfredo that was impossibly

I have loved this place for years and go here every time I am in town. I originally had lasagna and fell in love. Red sauce is basic but great. I love the sausage and I never like sausage. Lots of sage in the sausage and I normally don't like sage. Marsala is an actual creamy Marsala which is unusual anymore and it is sweet and wonderful! Mushrooms in the sauce are just what they should be. My husband tried something new which I thought sounded gross but you know it, yes please. The spaghetti pizza with sausage did not disappoint.

Chicken Parmigiana, not bad at all. Basic and delicious. Wait staff very attentive. Never had to ask for anything. Overall very clean, Quiet and comfortable inside. Will be back for sure.

This is probably my favorite Italian food in the Quad cities. The atmosphere is bright and pretty, the waitresses are so friendly. I have tried many of the entrées and have never been disappointed, but my husband's favorite is the lasagna. It is out of this world!!! They make their own language any pasta. With pesto which is one of my favorites!

Very reliable Italian fare. I got veal, which was very tender and nicely prepared. It came with bowtie pasta and a choice of sauces, and accompanied the meal nicely. My wife got pasta and veggies and it was a nice assortment of fresh flavors, and plenty for dinner and a lunch the next day. The wine selection is decent, and since it was a Saturday night we called ahead for reservations and were told we would be able to get in without them and we were seated right away at 6 PM on a Saturday night. It did fill up pretty good after that, but there were always tables available. Service was good.
