Lunardi's: A Taste of Italy Awaits in Davenport

My sisters and I visited here while out of town shopping. We had less than a five minute wait to be seated. The drinks were good, and the food was decent. The blood Mary my sister ordered was on the higher quality end, and there was a drink "Wedding" something with coconut liquor that was really good. My sister liked the "Lunardi's" drink with tequila and vodka, but I thought that one was way too strong, I had the Hero Pasta, one sister had the Carbonara, and the other a spinach salad. The garlic dressing on the salads was really good, as was the bread served with the main entrees. Both pasta dishes were good, but I felt the salad looked a little underwhelming. The server was efficient and polite. The ambiance was fairly upbeat. I wouldn't call it loud, but it was enough not to be intimate on a Saturday night. Nothing really stood out as outstanding, hence the four stars instead of five. I would recommend going here over Olive Garden.

While visiting family, we all went to the restaurant. I make better meat sauce, but this was good overall. Certainly better than going to Olive Garden!! Nice but casual spot, plentiful portions, clean and well lit, and decent waitress. It's a favorite of my relatives there.

Got take out for a party of 9. The lasagna was fantastic!! Definitely best lasagna ever! Highly recommend this restaurant!

Excellent food and friendly staff! Can't wait to go back for more. We had a last minute opportunity for a birthday dinner and they were kind to make space for us with a last minute reservation! The food was amazing!

We were in town and ran across this little gem! The sizzling chicken salad was insanely good! The seven layer lasagna was excellent as well and that was just a few of the things we ordered and there was not one disappointment. Can't forget the service, attentive but not overly so. This was an enjoyable experience start to finish, including the reasonable prices of out bill.

Really wish there was room to leave a 4.5 review. This is one of the better Italian dining experiences in town. I ordered the deep dish 9" pizza - sausage. I managed 3/4 slices, but you could probably split it between two people. It's not Lou Malnattis good, but it definitely did the trick for the craving. The service was great the whole time. Very clean as well.

Wonderful deep dish! I never eat the crust, but this was so delicious! 9" was big enough for 2! Meatball sub was delicious too. Minestrone soup was full of veggies and very good. Side salad was a fresh & full. Tiramisu was wonderful! Service was attentive & friendly.

Great Italian , good service as well. Table of 6 and we all had something different. Tried the mushroom app & peppers & sausage apps- yum. Reasonable price & large quantity of Food. I had the lasagna and loved it

Went here for the first time on a Thursday evening and was seated immediately. Our waiter was very friendly/attentive and I liked the ambiance of the restaurant. My boyfriend got a 9" deep pan pizza which arrived quicker than the wait time for it claimed (a good surprise). I got the alfredo ravioli which was good, but very rich and a bit simple. My only complaint really was the price compared to the portion. The pasta was $20 and the portion I received was comparable to that of a lunch portion at other restaurants, so there were no leftovers. I felt I could've got a dish equally as good for a much lower price elsewhere, which is why I'm not sure if I will be back.

My dad worked up the street from Lunardi's when I was a kid back in the mid 90s. Used to go with him plenty. Just a great local spot with solid, no frills italian food. Fast forward to this year where on a whim at 38 weeks pregnant I told my husband we should try it as I was craving a pile of carbs. It was such a throwback to be there. A lot hasn't changed and that's a good thing in my opinion. Servers are NICE and ATTENTIVE. Has an old school charm to it without being fancy. This isn't where you'd go for a fancy, refined meal. This is where you'd go when you want comfort food and don't want to think too hard about it. Don't miss. I'll be back.
