My wife and I had a wonderful meal. Our waitress was very pleasant and a bit of a ditz. All of the staff appear to be family. We both had the flounder stuffed with crabmeat and it was terrific. In the past weve encountered at various restaurants mushy fish when stuffed but this was very well presented. The flavor was excellent, despite a bit too much salt for our taste in the sauce and the crab filling. We are on a mission to reduce salt in our diet so we really notice even just a bit too much. The antipasto was very good as was the garlic bread. We are coffee aficionados and we thought their coffee and espresso were excellent as well. If people had any idea how much better this small restaurant is than the chains they would be packed from opening to closing. This is a small restaurant so we normally go early or maybe just a bit late to beat the rush hour. We also try to skip Friday and Saturday nights. We do that with most really good restaurants as we appreciate the quieter times. Highly Recommended!

My coworkers and I order from here at least once every other week! 6 out of the 8 of us order their crabcake Panini! It is possibly the best sandwich on their menu. We all have cravings for Moonlight pretty much every week, but if we ate there everytime we wanted we would all be broke. The service is wonderful, and very helpful. Everytime somoene mentions wanting to order lunch, we all ask "Moonlight?"

Vito, owner of the Moonlight Cafe, creates the best italian food within 200 miles of here. He prepares your delight right in front of you, not hiding in another room. With fresh herbs and spices, oh what a aroma. Small but, clean and has great atmostphere, reminds us of what Italian food should smell and taste like. Thanks Vito for bringing your talents to Dover Pa. Tony P.

I love eating at this restaurant!! Every time I try something new I am never disappointed. Easily the best Italian food around. The service here is also top notch. The servers are always friendly and the owners treat you like family. What more could you ask for? Try this place out, you wont regret it.

Ordered sweet sausage manicotti I was half way done with my meal when I found a hair stuck in cheese on a piece of sausage. I told the waitress who told the owner. He only gave me 10%off my meal. I was disappointed cause I would have had leftovers for later cause it was a bad dish. I wont be going back

I love how he makes everything himself. The making and cooking. You can taste the love in every single meal. I think this is the ONLY place I have seen with ZERO negative reviews and for a good reason too. decent prices and of course cash is always king. Can not think of anything bad to say.

It almost reminds you of Italy; the quaint kitchen/dining room and the wonderful smell of garlic in the air!! Not to mention the friendship and the outstanding food that is prepared right in front of your eyes. It is definitely 5 Stars!! Thank you for a fine restaurant Marcus

Really unfriendly service. Was told we could not buy a burger because they were only for children and told to "try mcdonalds". Made absolutely no effort to accomidate or suggest any other entree. Will not be visiting here again.

Excellent food! Being your own wine. Nice locally own business, but the wait on weekends can be long due to the small size of the place. Kid and family friendly!

Our food was very bland. Zero seasonings. I salted and peppered several times and I never salt when dining out.
