Sullaluna

A unique place that mixes a bookstore and a restaurant. The food was excellent but I wanted things a bit more seasoned. The service was great. And the place has this chill Italian vibe that I loved.

this place was an absolute gem in the heart of the west village and is a bookshop/bistro/bar all in one. i loved the aperol spritz i got and the bread and pasta were delicious as well. great spot for a date or to catch up with a friend and it’s so warm and inviting!!

Interesting menu, with some unique options like artichoke flan. I enjoyed the variety and the flavors, as well as the fresh ingredients. The bread in the sandwich had an excellent crisp, but the sandwich itself wasn't remarkable. The space is crammed, and we, two thin people, could barely fit in our chairs without bumping into other tables and furniture.

Really cute and peaceful restaurant with a children book section. Vegetarian menu with a little seafood options. We went on a weekday for late lunch, so items were unavailable. Portion was middle size. 🍫🥐❤️Croissant with hazelnut chocolate paste and ice cream was really delicious. Rich option for a guilty afternoon or brunch time. 🥛☕️✨cappuccino was outstanding too. Creamy with nice flavor on a bitter side. Mushroom creamy pasta was good, average choice.

Cute spot to take a break and read / get some work done. The staff was really friendly and did not rush me, small but good selection of savory and sweet bites (got the white bean soup which was surprisingly quite tasty, and the ricotta cake with orange blossom which was delicious), the soft jazz music along with the bright and aesthetic interior made for the perfect backdrop. Only thing I’d note is the prices are relatively high for some menu items. But otherwise highly recommend!

How lucky are we that this lovely family decided to bring their concept from Venezia to NYC. This place brought me right back to Italy, with their hearty, warming meals, their welcoming and sweet staff, and the enchantment of Italian children’s books all around. I came for lunch first and had the broccoli rabe cream pasta and it was served so warm and so delicious. I returned the next day with a group and each enjoyed our meals as well. Gnocchi alla sorrentina, focaccia con stracciatella, and fantastic Nebbiolo on the list to go with it all. I have to say I was super disappointed their no longer had the eggplant parmigiana because it looked so great. Hopefully they can bring it back and we can try it one day When I came in I met the nicest staff member, Giulia, who was so so sweet and took her time helping me pick out books for gifts. I love the candlelit setting they create at dinner time. I would really love to see some more variety on the menu! There are a couple of secondi that truly aren’t secondi and more like antipasto since they are so small. I also was sad we were rushed during dinner out because they needed to serve other guests, which we definitely get, but my friends are used to their slow Italian dinners. Still would recommend and I would be happy to return. Wishing you all the best of luck and success!!

This charming spot is half cozy Italian restaurant and half independent bookstore, creating an atmosphere that’s both intellectually stimulating and warmly inviting. The Sicilian shrimp carpaccio (Carpaccio di gambero) was exquisitely fresh, pairing perfectly with the aromatic fennel and oranges. The Eggplant flan (Flan di melanzane) was a delightful surprise, with its creamy texture and rich flavor. The pasta dishes, particularly the Linguine alle vongole and the Gigli con ceci e gamberi, were cooked to perfection, offering authentic tastes of Italy. To complement the meal, the Green Citrus Iced Tea was refreshingly crisp, and the classic Tiramisu provided a sweet, satisfying conclusion. Not to forget the excellent Mimosa and robust Cappuccino that were the cherries on top of a fantastic dining experience. Sullaluna is more than just a place to eat; it’s a haven where you can relax. Whether you’re a bookworm, a foodie, or just in search of a pleasant spot to unwind, Sullaluna is an absolute must-visit.

I discovered this charming new café that’s perfect for both book lovers and remote workers. With plenty of seating and a cozy workspace, it's an ideal spot to settle in with a good read or get some work done. I stopped by for brunch, and the food was absolutely DELICIOUS—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Though they've only been open for a month, the warmth and friendliness of the staff make it feel like they've been part of the community for years. If you're looking for a new hangout, give this place a try! They're also on the lookout for local musicians, so it’s a great opportunity to support a fresh, local business and maybe even catch some live music in the near future. Let’s help this gem thrive!

What a great place! Very welcoming and warm atmosphere, excellent food and drinks, very professional and friendly staff. We all loved our food: delicious! The added bonus was to be surrounded by beautiful books. We will definitely go back to Sulla Luna very soon!

Sullaluna is a charming bookshop bistro lined with books, making it the perfect spot to relax or hangout with a bite to eat. Their menu is mainly vegetarian and vegan, and the presentation is also super pretty. The Panna Cotta and Chocolate Soufflé JUST launched and they're super delicious. Lastly the staff is super kind and gave helpful recommendations. What I tried: Non-Alcoholic Mimosa ($14) - Orangey and refreshing but kinda expensive. Frittata de Patate ($17) - The egg isn't too strong, with soft potatoes and perfectly crispy toast topped with a delicious tomato spread. Zucca al Forno ($22) - Baked pumpkin, goat cheese, pomegranate seeds, and walnuts. Such a perfect balance of soft and crunchy! Cavolo Nero Salad ($17) - Loved the unique broccoli presentation! Panna Cotta ($12) - Thick and creamy, topped with strawberry jam. Chocolate Soufflé ($12) - A dreamy lava cake paired with vanilla ice cream.

The most adorable Italian bistro-bookshop combo! I would return for the ambiance alone. I love the soft lighting with the books-- the glow adds such a warmth and coziness. If you come you absolutely must venture downstairs to see the entire store. As for food, we ordered the gnocchi alla sorrentina and pastiera napoletana (sweet ricotta pie) for dessert. The gnocchi was good, I liked the sauce a lot and it was very cheesy. A tad on the mushy side for my taste, and I wish there was more basil. The pie was tasty. The orange flavor was quite strong. I'm not partial to citrusy desserts; if I had known this I would have ordered something else. It still enjoyed it though. I like how the crust reminded me of pound cake. Overall, I would return. I would love to try their cacio e pepe and their tiramisu. I'm dissapointed they took their pesto off the menu though. I came with a friend around 12:15 on Saturday and we were able to get a table immediately, though had we come 20 minutes later we probably would have had to wait. Service was good, our food came out in ~15 minutes.

Sullaluna is my new favorite happy hour spot in the village! It's so cozy and the $9 aperol spritz for happy hour is one of the best I've ever had! The ambiance is amazing and I love how you are free to wander around the store(be sure to check out the collection of books in the basement as well!) and grab any book from their shelves(the Italian children's books are so cute!) to bring back to your table while waiting for your drinks to arrive. The arancini is also delicious, I'll definitely have to come back for brunch sometime! I also love how they let you sign the guestbook with colored pencils :)

Lovely place Cute decor Friendly staff Prices are a bit on the pricey side Yummy bites but small portions The book concept is great but I would love them to have more of a selection in English. Aperol spritz was nom Reservations recommended Happy hour starts at 3pm

Cute ambiance and interior decor! My salmon bagel was rather small, and you only get half a bagel for $18, but at least the flavors were vibrant and popped.

Sullaluna is a cute brunch spot with a cozy aesthetic and lots of seating. It's in such a good area in the city too, with many other shops, desserts, and cafes nearby. The menu is simple and the food is good but not mind-blowing. However, it's still worth the visit, especially since it has a unique concept of being a bookstore and cafe/restaurant.

Absolutely ADORE this new cafe!! So cute and cozy - this is the perfect spot to read a book or get work done with some coffee/tea and light bites on the side. The cafe doubles as a bookstore with children's and illustrated books beautifully displayed on shelves and tables throughout the space. The service was great, and the staff was very attentive and kind. I ordered a matcha latte, an espresso, and a cornetto. The matcha latte was pretty standard and not as rich/flavorful as I would've liked, but this is likely not the type of place to go to for a matcha latte anyways. I did enjoy the espresso and the cornetto, which was delightfully crispy and flaky on the outside and soft on the inside with pistachio filling. The powdered sugar was a nice touch as well. They do also have entrees, appetizers, and alcoholic beverages, and I definitely want to come back again to give those a try too!

The cutest Hot and New place I've been to in a minute. Part Italian cafe, part book store ; you can't help but love this charming spot. Only opened a month so they're still getting use to the swing of things but I'm thinking they will be just fine. I came in to a packed house and the food looked incredible. My Bellini and the kindness of the staff started the day off just right.

Absolutely delicious. Quaint, authentic Italian, and you can taste it. They also only offer Italian soda (no Diet Coke here). Pasta is so fresh, pesto is delicioso. People say it's a bookshop, but it's not really, they just use books as decor (super cute!)

Adorable spot with light fare, wine, and cute books! They have a few tables outside and a bar and interior tables as well. Note there is not a ton of room to move around and browse the books. Service was a bit slow, but to be expected with the recent opening. Will be back to try the arancini and affogato!

This is such a cute shop, as they have a breakfast and lunch menu all within a children's bookstore. It was all so pretty and i just really enjoyed the environment (wifi available too, so people were working there during the day). The food was solid but nothing wowing; The eggplant focaccia was a good bite and I enjoyed my coffee. I wish they offered a stronger pastry menu throughout the day as I think it'd be nice to get these bites in the afternoon as well. All below $20 so pretty affordable too, would come back!

This was an Instagram spot that my friend I was eyeing and we snagged a reservation this past weekend for a lovely brunch! The matcha lattes DO NOT come sweetened, but they give/have sweeteners for you to adjust the flavor. I am a bit of a matcha snob -- and I thought their matcha lacked flavor. For food, we ordered pesto pasta and bruschetta. I LOVED the Bruschetta. The lemon zest on top was a nice touch. For the pesto, it is very true to its flavor, but it wasn't mind-blowing or anything. Overall, I felt the food was okay, but the excellent service and the amazing staff make up for it all (hence the 5 star)!!! The staff was very accommodating and extremely sweet. PLUS, they have the cutest plates/cutlery and the whole place is beautifully decorated through and through. I feel that this is a place you would come for coffee/light snacks rather than a full meal.

Been wanting to try this place for a while as it's right down the street, but was very disappointed. We had high hopes for a restaurant coming from Italy. Me and the group I came with agreed this wasn't a standout meal. We ordered the orecchiette and were severed wet spinach pasta. We had to add Parmesan to make it taste better. Will not be returning.

This is a wonderful new Italian spot along Carmine! And by Italian, I mean Italian. This is an offshoot of the flagship in Venice, and the food and (most of the) staff is Italian. The food was delicious and the portions were big without being enormous. My friend and I shared the gnocchi, the eggplant parm (made the true, Italian way -- read: no mozzarella!) and the cheese and tomato appetizer. The space was equally inviting, and there's a selection of Italian and English books for sale. When we arrived there were a handful of people; by the time we left, the place was full. A shout to the wonderful staff, which was warm and gracious and didn't hang over us or pressure us to leave. Grazie assai!

The perfect cafe and my new favorite place in WV. The interior design is thoughtful, they have Italian and English books through out. The food and service was excellent, lots of people working and drinking coffee. The whole experience felt too good to be true. Grazie Mille Sullaluna!

Amazing food. You feel like your right in Italy. 100% will be coming again for the amazing cacio e pepe and the gnocchi. The atmosphere was very calm and beautifully decorated. Next time I'll check out the books too!

Had a lovely afternoon here. The ambiance was great - lots of people reading and sipping wine, perfect for a slow Sunday afternoon. We had the caprese focaccia, it was extremely fresh, would eat again!

Very cute spot with an airy ambiance and indoor outdoor seating. The menu is pretty simple and the dishes were really fresh thought the portions are on the smaller side. We get a tomato sauce gnocchi and the pesto pasta along with the arancini. We also picked up a cute children's book on our way out!

Lovely place owned by Italians with authentic Italian food ( like in Italy). They have a great selection of books in Italian and English ( lots of great children books) , the place has style and the staff is very nice. And the coffee is very good. Finally. I will be back to buy book and have some wine.
