Who are we? 

LUNE is the work of husband-and-wife team Charlotte and Mick Formichella.

After several years cooking and working in restaurants on the West Coast, Charlotte and Mick returned to Cape Cod with the idea of creating the kind of restaurant they wanted to find here: intimate, ambitious and deeply connected to its surroundings.

Charlotte, a thirteenth generation Cape Codder, leads the dining room and guest experience. Chef Mick leads the kitchen, where the menu begins with the ingredients and the people who produce them.

LUNE began in 2023 with tasting-menu dinners at Borsari Gallery in Dennis, followed by a residency in West Dennis.

Today, LUNE calls Dennis Port home.

In 2025, LUNE was named a James Beard Award semifinalist for Best New Restaurant.

For Charlotte and Mick, LUNE remains what it was from the beginning: a deeply personal restaurant built around food, hospitality and Cape Cod.

Food is love. Love well.

Sustainability at LUNE

At LUNE, sustainability is not a trend, but a responsibility woven into the way we operate. We believe a great restaurant should care as deeply for its people and community as it does for the food it serves.

Our approach begins with thoughtful sourcing, celebrating the abundance of Cape Cod and the surrounding region, and extends to a kitchen rooted in seasonality, resourcefulness, and minimizing waste. We strive to honor every ingredient through careful preparation and full utilization.

Beyond the plate, we are committed to building a restaurant that is sustainable for the people behind it, fostering a supportive workplace, investing in our team's growth, and creating meaningful opportunities for longterm careers in hospitality.

For us, sustainability means building something worth sustaining: our environment, our community, and the people who make LUNE possible.
