    I am the biggest fan of pasta Moon. The minute I walked in, I was greeted by a wonderful hostess. The ambience was wonderful great high ceilings the service unbelievable! Fabio and Luigi were so kind, I was treated so well. I had the pomegranate, persimmon salad. It was the best salad I’ve had in four years! The Ahi Tuna linguine was so delicious I was dancing in my chair! The pasta was homemade perfectly cooked. The Aji tuna was tender and delicious! it was the best meal I’ve had in so long. I am a huge fan. The pasta is fresh. I could eat it every day. I am definitely going come here once a month.

    What a delight to eat at La Costanera! It's an impressive looking restaurant with everything: the food is delicious and unlike anything I've ever had, the service is excellent and accommodating, and the noise level is perfect: not so loud that you have to scream, not so soft that all you can hear is your own conversation. The king salmon is outstanding.
