    Service was excellent - attentive, but gave us tons of space to talk. The Caesar salad was very fresh and used a tasty olive oil and a hint of garlic, which is all it needs. Too many places overdo it. I had the smoked salmon with a pesto sauce and GF pasta. So good! I couldn’t resist bringing home leftovers to enjoy it again.

    Attended dinner Thanksgiving evening. We knew dry Turkey was a possibility, and they indeed delivered. What we did not expect was a very tough NY Strip Steak that was prepared medium rare. It was our first time at this restaurant. We will try one more time just to make sure it wasn’t a fluke.

    When we visit our daughter, we very often will choose Mezza Luna if we can obtain a reservation. We prefer the BYOB option (wine store next door) and love the cuisine there. The staff is so friendly and welcoming!

    The staff graciously adapted when we arrived with a party of 8, rather than the 6 for which I had reserved. Everyone in our party enjoyed the food, and the final bill with the added tip, was very reasonable. We were pleased with everything--service, food, ambiance. We will return often.

    We love Mezzaluna! I always get the Branzino with lobster risotto, it’s so good! Everyone in our party ordered different entrees and they were all delicious. Added bonus: it’s a BYO!
