La Luna

No small-town spag-bowl, pasta and pizza joint, La Luna is a thoroughly polished modern Italian drawing a loyal coterie of locals with its serious approach to seasonal cooking, reasonable pricing and charming, knowledgeable service. A light and airy, fashionable interior confirms quality right from the off, with a striking caramel, chocolate and black colour scheme set out with oak tables. The repertoire encompasses the classic flavours and colours of Italy driven by quality ingredients, skilful simplicity and a light modern touch. Take linguine given a luxury spin with lobster and courgette, or perhaps roast rump of Scottish lamb teamed with Umbrian lentils, cavolo nero and fried polenta. Fixed-price lunch delivers great value for one, two or three courses, while the well-selected all-Italian wine list delivers gentle mark ups.
