Reviews
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Patrick Francis
** late review ** April 30
All the staff were very nice and friendly, even the ones work in the kitchen (they were filling the buffet all the time). Aly was very special, she was always smiling,and friendly. M family and I were very happy, and satisfied with her service. She was a good model of hospitality. Thank you Aly and everyone for letting us build a very good memories at the restaurant.
My wife said,” they will let us drive all that way from Canada just to have a meal from Italian moon”.
The quality of food was perfect and very delicious. The flavour of every bite was unique. Professional Italian pizza makers. The creamy soup was the best. The salad bar was amazing. You have to try the fried chicken, it was really better than the fried chicken restaurants. The chicken coat was very crispy and it was tender from inside, really the taste was great. Bread sticks, and pasta was just perfect. Don’t leave before trying the ice cream.
The place and the toilets were very clean.
The overall experience; we were very satisfied with the visit and the food, we left very full.
For sure I will visit the restaurant again.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Shelle Michaels
I have been enjoying Italian Moon for decades! From my years at UND; undergrad. grad school and teaching — to sadly moving away but making it THE ABSOLUTE MUST stop when we come back to GF to visit family.
My favorite is the homemade chicken noodle soup — love the taco pizza and the best queso.
We have had many parties 🎉 in the back party room.
Italian Moon showcases everything that’s good and right about North Dakota!
⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4/5 — Colin
I could write a lengthy review but I'll keep it short. I went because I had a coupon for a free small personal pizza. I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. Pizza was good, very well balanced between cheese toppings and sauce; the crust was also good. Service at the restaurant was also very good considering it was towards the end of the night, we decided to tip even though it was free. I may have to stop back and try something else to see what more they have to offer. Overall good experience.

Had a great Chicken Dinner! Never a bad meal.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Holden Gault
Went for the buffet and was not disappointed. Buffet was constantly being replenished with new foods. Service was good and atmosphere was even better. Would recommend for any college student. Grand forks staple
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Matt Burdick
We come here regularly and always will. My family and I come for the Sunday brunch buffet often, and it's always a treat. Food is always fresh and well made, and the restaurant is kept clean and comfortable.
To top it off, service is always great, and people are always friendly and courteous. This is a great local spot.
