Their father had owned supermarkets so the boys all have experience in the food business, but it's Eric's passion and experience as a chef that serves as a driving force at La Luna. This is an Italian restaurant with good homemade dishes made fresh from scratch everyday. But I'll be honest - my Italian dishes have French and California tendencies. In my experience, people won't eat real Italian food. Don't get me wrong.
Italian food is a beautiful thing.
It is so simple and full of natural flavors, it's magic. But people prefer an Italian food with less oil and salt and more cream-based dishes. So I infused my dishes with French and California influences. La Luna in Italian means the moon. Plus, being in the restaurant business, working the graveyard shift, restaurant people get to see more of the moon than the sun.
