Lunardi's Restaurant

I've been in the Davenport area for a few days now, and a good friend of mine and his family wanted to try Lunardi's for the first time since they were new to the area.. Everyone I talked to said it was a great venue with great food, so we rolled in on a Wednesday night and gave it a shot!! Let me say this.. Lunardi's delivered a grand slam, and they were exactly as everyone recommended.. We sampled their fried ravioli appetizer, the sausage & sun dried tomatoes in cream sauce, the lasagna della casa, and fettuccine alfredo with chicken.. Each one of those was awesome in their own right, but that lasagna was the star 🌟 of the show.. Seventeen layers of seasoned Ricotta, pepperoni, meatballs, Italian sausage, and Mozzarella and Romano cheeses served piping hot from the oven in a small casserole dish.. Each of us tried it, and just over half remained to be taken home.. The service was on point, too, and the restaurant was clean and inviting.. I will most assuredly visit Lunardi's again should I visit the Davenport area in the future!! I have included pics that describe each of three dishes.. The prices on the pics are a bit dated, but each of these is worth every penny of the current prices..

This restaurant is absolutely delicious, the best Italian restaurant my family and I have eaten at! Yes it's a little pricey but you get a lot of food, and you definitely will have leftovers to take home. Their flavored tea is fabulous and everything is seasoned with plenty of garlic OMG I definitely was full,when I left and so was everyone else. I took my daughter out for a celebration, she graduated and I definitely had no problem leaving a fat tip! I definitely recommend this restaurant, delicious food and friendly atmosphere

I love Italian food - eating out, making it at home, it's great either way! It's incredibly simple in both execution and flavor in many cases. I haven't found much I like around the Quad Cities, though (maybe Biaggis?) so I was really excited to have Lunardi's recommended to me by a coworker. 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!

Was worried maybe they’d lost their touch after having to be closed for so long. They haven’t. Everything is still delicious. Excellent, fast service. Chicken piccata is fantastic. Fettuccine Alfredo is fantastic- you just cannot beat their made from scratch Alfredo sauce. The lasagna- also fantastic, and huge enough to eat for two more meals! Good drink selection- both alcoholic and non. The fried ravioli appetizer is fun. And, maybe my most favorite: their made-in-house creamy garlic dressing on the garden salad that comes with your dinner- so good. Reasonably priced menu.

When I travel for work I like to find places that have creative or different foods that I haven’t thought to make myself or just aren’t served in my area. So, I was in Iowa for work and on my search for something delicious and different, I came across this gem!!! I got the Spaghettini pizza and I ordered a side of Alfredo sauce to dip it in. I am telling you, you HAVE to try this!!! I don’t know why this place has not gone viral yet!!!! Absolutely to die for!! I highly recommend!!! I can’t wait to come back and try their lasagna!! Check out the pics on Google! It looks amazing!!!!! They need to be featured on Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives!!!!!! @guyfieri where are you?!?!
