My spouse and I dined at Sette Luna for lunch in late March
2016. Sette Luna is open for lunch Mondays through Saturdays, Sunday (jazz)
brunch, and dinner daily. In Italian, the restaurant name “Sette Luna” means
“Seventh Moon”. Metered street parking is available, or park in a nearby
surface lot or in the city garage. We have dined at Sette Luna several times
since it opened in 2005 (in the space previously occupied by another Italian
restaurant called Moscatos, which has since re-opened in Palmer Township).
Sette Luna’s sister restaurant is nearby Maxim’s 22 Bistro & Brasserie.
Sette Luna is located in downtown Easton, not far from the
center square/circle. The restaurant occupies two adjacent storefronts in a
quiet location on Ferry Street. The restaurant features two dining areas, both
with high ceilings, wood floors, and rustic décor. The main dining area
features an open kitchen, where you can see the chefs at work, particularly
utilizing the brick pizza oven. The second space is used only during the
busiest times of day, and features a bar as well as table seating. In warmer
weather, you can dine outside on the sidewalk. (The restaurant has heaters, and
although we dined in late March, the weather was conducive to al fresco
dining.)
Sette Luna serves rustic Italian (Tuscan) cuisine. We shared
the grilled shrimp and broccoli rabe as a starter (drizzled with olive oil,
garlic and lemon), followed by the Sette salad (arugula with marcona almonds,
olives, fennel, and orange segments). As entrees, we ordered two pasta dishes:
Bud’s Bolognese (with an incredibly generous portion of sauce atop house-made fettucini)
and the traditional cheese and cream fettucine, each of which arrived with a
hunk of crusty bread drizzled with olive oil for dipping in the sauce. (The
pizzas sounded very tempting, but we saw three delivered as we were ordering,
and they seemed a bit burnt around the crust edges for our taste, although
others seemed to be enjoying them.) For dessert, we shared the tiramisu. The
restaurant delivers a mix of olives to snack on while you peruse the menu, but
if you want bread (which is home-made and dusted with parmesan cheese and olive
oil), you must order it (and pay an additional $2). We would have liked to dine
from the dinner menu, which contained house specialties such as veal osso bucco
and lamb shank, but those items were not available until after 5:00 pm.
We enjoyed our lunch at Sette Luna, and we hope to return
to try the dinner menu sometime soon.
