Small and romantic we specialize in celebrations with family and friends, or just a quiet dinner with good conversation. We are family owned and operated and have been serving our community since 2001.

Drive in to Opera Alley and be transported. We strive to bring approachable food and beverage, a sense of comfort and community, as well as a unique and quality dining experience. We call ourselves a "cafe" in the sense that we are not pretentious and offer a fine dining experience in an atmosphere of comfort and respite.

Parking in Opera Alley, and downtown, can be a bit of a challenge, especially on the weekends, so please be sure to give yourself plenty of time when making reservations to find a parking space, or consider a night off from driving and get an Uber or Lift!! Eat good food often, break bread with friends and family, spend time with those you love, and we will see you soon.

    The restaurant is quaint in size but dishes are big in flavor! I had the Angel Hair Arrabbiata which was delicious. It does have Serrano peppers in it which though was good, started to be a bit much for me. My husband had the “Over The Moon” Lasagna (I sampled it) which also really good. Recommended for an intimate dinner for a birthday or anniversary.

    The new owners kept the previous charm and offerings, and added their own pop … it worked! The ambiance was relaxing, staff was friendly and attentive, and the meal was delish. Over the Moon will continue to be our Go-To place for celebrations and “just because”. Congratulations Daniel!

    The service was friendly and really good. The owner was super nice and sweet. Appetizers were great, the burrata and prosciutto with melon was amazing; just needed some more melon. Our entrees were good. I got the "no pasta" lasagna made with butternut squash which was very good. My wife got the cioppino which was good however, wasn't a traditional red sauce and was lacking in depth and flavor. Chocolate torte cake was rich and delicious, fantastic! Overall a very good local restaurant I would recommend and revist again.

    3 of us celebrated two birthdays. As usual, everything was special. I absolutely love the unique lasagna but decided to try the ragu this time. It was tasty but a different pasta I think would have worked better. When I have out of town guests, I always take them to Over the Moon because it is unrushed, quiet, and unique, homey decoration. Once we saw a young man get on his knee and propose .....ahhhhh. It is a place that is memorable.
