There’s a new reason to stop by Sullaluna 🌙

Fresh pasta made in-house
A rich, traditional ragù slow-cooked the Italian way.


This is just one of the many new dishes we’ve recently added to the menu, inspired by the season and made with the care and quality ingredients we always believe in.

Don’t let someone else tell you about it.
Come taste it for yourself 🍝

Some evenings stay with you long after they end 📍🗺️

Dimmi di New York became an evening of honest stories, shared emotions, and meaningful connection.
Extraordinary women opened up with generosity, telling their own stories while listening to and embracing the experiences of others.

What stayed with us most was the feeling in the room: the reminder of how powerful sharing can be, especially in a city that so often asks us to be strong all the time.

A heartfelt thank you to Clara and Viviana for the incredible work, care, and sensitivity they brought to this project and to the evening itself.

It was one of those evenings that leaves a mark long after it ends.
So much so that we’re already thinking about when to do it again.

✨ More conversations soon ♥️

✨Yesterday night we had the privilege of hosting a powerful, deeply human evening with Yevgenia Nayberg and Taylor Norman ✨

Starting from the book 𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐍𝐎𝐁𝐘𝐋, 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄, 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐀𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐒 the conversation touched on themes incredibly important to all of us.

They shared so much about memory and identity, exploring how it feels to tell your family’s past and your own history in a different language—and how that shift in tongue can actually change the way you remember.

One of the central themes was the “invisibility” of disaster: those wounds that aren’t seen but remain present for years in both places and lives.

But alongside these heavy themes, Yevgenia and Taylor shared beautiful, intimate snapshots of daily life and family memories that made everything feel so authentic and close.

Thanks to the incredible questions and participation from the audience, the room was filled with lightness and so much laughter!

It was one of those rare nights where you dive deep but leave feeling uplifted and connected.

Thank you all so much! Until next time ❣️

Some rituals never go out of style ☕

Today we celebrate Moka Day with the one sound every Italian heart knows: coffee slowly rising in the stovetop pot, filling the room with its unmistakable aroma.

At Sullaluna, we honor it the way we love most: on the patio, poured into our ceramic cups, enjoyed slowly, and shared with the people who make any moment warmer.

Because some coffees are more than coffee.
They are memory, comfort, and home.

☕ Happy Moka Day.

Some cities are lived. Others become part of you. ✨

At Sullaluna, we welcome Dimmi di New York — a project that gathers the voices, memories, and experiences of Italian women who have chosen to call this city home.

Through stories of change, courage, joy, loneliness, discovery, and belonging, we’ll explore what it truly means to build a life in New York.

Viviana Venneri will share reflections and moments collected through years of interviews, and together with Giulia, we’ll open a warm and honest space for conversation with the audience.

A night in Italian, dedicated to storytelling, connection, and the many ways a city can become home.
