Since 1990, Chef Seger's use of unique ingredients, homemade pastas, and innovative specials has created a loyal following. His modern flair mixed with traditional culinary skills has created a whirlwind of praise. You will not see seafood options on the regular menu for one reason; All our Seafood is wild not farm raised and we carry ONLY what is available and offer them as our daily specials.

LuNello has gone right to the source when purchasing ingredients and each dish reflects the attention placed into its preparation. All our meats in our menu have grown and purchased from meat purveyors that there is no use of antibiotics or hormones. Enticing presentation and courteous and professional staff are integral to LuNello's success. We are also excited to offer Wine Dinners and special events hosted in our private event spaces. We look forward to making your experience with us a special one!

THE FAMILY ESTATES OF GAJA
In 1859, the Gaja family established the tradition to which they have adhered ever since – total dedication to uncompromising quality. For five generations, they have been producing some of the most sought after, highly acclaimed, and collectable wines in the world. Gaja Estates in Piedmont, Italy, is the home to Gaja Winery, owning 240 acres of vineyard land in Barbaresco and Barolo, with a commitment to producing wines of the highest quality exclusively from their own vineyards. In 1994, the Gaja family acquired their first wine estate in Tuscany, named Pieve Santa Restituta in Montalcino, which has been making wine since the 12th century. In 1996, the Gaja family purchased a second property in the Bolgheri district of Tuscany, named Ca’Marcanda, “House of Endless Negotiations”. Along the Tuscan Coast, this would become the home of their famed Super Tuscans. In 2017, Angelo Gaja and Alberto Graci started a new winery in Mt. Etna, Sicily, named “IDDA”, which means “She” in the local dialect. These are complex wines that express the ancient soils of the southern slope of Mt. Etna, as well as Angelo Gaja’s long-lived vision of excellence.

WINES BY DAVE PHINNEY
A true iconoclast in the winemaking world and 2019’s Winemaker of the Year, Dave Phinney has consistently received critical acclaim for his show-stopping, boundary-breaking wines vintage after vintage. After humble beginnings as a harvest worker at Robert Mondavi, he founded Orin Swift Cellars. Soon after, he created the cult classic, The Prisoner, taking the world by storm and putting premium domestic red blends on the map. Today, Dave continues innovating as the winemaker for Orin Swift, while simultaneously expanding his reach worldwide into Department 66, L’Usine, Locations, and beyond. His wines are unique, bold, and unapologetic, much like the labels that he designs himself. His approach to winemaking is much akin to our approach to food: sourcing the very best ingredients and showcasing their beauty in the best possible way.

LuNello's never disappoints me. Whenever I bring a new guest to the restaurant, they always compliment the menu and their choice. The real testament to someone's pleasure with their dining experience is when they take some of their choices home with them to enjoy. Thank you to the team at LuNello's for making each visit an enjoyable one.Is this helpful?

This restaurant is nothing short of spectacular. They do everything right, the staff is on point, the place is impeccable, so classy and well decorated. The food was flawlessly prepared and incredibly delicious. They start you off with a vegetable soup in a tea cup that apparently takes hours to make, and you can taste the love and the hours that are put into this broth. We had oysters and lobster and crab for appetizers that were very fresh and delectable. Then rabbit and duck for dinner, that were pure perfection. I cannot wait to come back over and over and over again and try every single thing on this menu.Is this helpful?

The food is nothing short of sensational, as is the wait staff. Very impressive on both counts. My only complaint, which likely shows my age and snobbery, is that the dinners dress abominably especially the men- tee shirts, jeans, etc. People dress as if they were going to Pizza Hut. For one of the few first class restaurants in the area, It really takes away from the experience.Is this helpful?

Another wonderful evening at Lu Nello. Without a doubt the most elegant, refined restaurant in and out of NYC. From the dimly lit dining room, to the beautiful tables and chairs and white table cloths, the dining room presents a five star experience of class. The service from start to finish was excellent, and the food was beautifully prepared and simply delicious. It was our anniversary and we noted this when we made the reservation. Unexpectedly, at the end of our meal we were presented with congratulatory anniversary dessert with a lit candle. A perfect ending to a lovely dinner. And it should also be mentioned that after we left a well-deserved tip, as we were leaving and thanking the owner for a fabulous experience, our waiter made the effort to come over and thank us for the tip we left. Class from start to finish. Thank you Lu Nello. We are already looking forward to our next dinner at your restaurant.Is this helpful?
