It seems like almost everyone I know in Boston has moved to JP in the last ten years, and I think Bella Luna is part of the reason why. It's not for the food (though it is good).It's not for the funky atmosphere (though it can't help but make you smile).It's not even for the super cool candlepin bowling alley down in the Milky Way Lanes below the restaurant.Bella Luna is ultimately so wonderful because it's clearly a neighborhood institution, and it both reflects and reenforces the diversity and community that is at the heart of the attraction of JP.(Full Disclosure: I was one of the original investors in Bella Luna and remain friends with the owners (who are great!))
