- NNancyGreater Boston •1 review5.0Dined 3 days agoWhen 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!More infoLa MezzalunaPrice: Expensive• Italian• Princeton•4.3
- MmartinkNew York City •9 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoThis was our first time dining at this restaurant. Murat, pardon the spelling, was very attentive, kind, and delightful. There was very nice background music of cover songs, and the place was clean and well decorated in the Mediterranean theme. The food was incredibly fresh, and the presentation was visually appealing. The menu was very unique and had a lot of options. The only downside was that the portions of protein were not very substantial. Other than that, this place was fantastic and we are looking forward to returning and would recommend everyone give it a try!More infoAspendos Mediterranean CuisinePrice: Very Expensive• Mediterranean• Princeton•4.7
- DDeviLos Angeles •3 reviews5.0Dined 6 days agoMediterra is hands down our favorite restaurant in Princeton. The servers are attentive and helpful, the bartenders and chefs are top notch, and we've never ordered anything off their pleasing menu we didn't love. Their pastaless lasagna (a vegetarian dish) is the best I've ever had anywhere (and I'm not even vegetarian.) Their homemade whole grain bread is outstanding (as is the seasoned olive oil they serve as an accompaniment) and we always enjoy their shellfish, cocktails and seafood, too. Plus, they're open all day, for those who like later lunches and they have a great dog-friendly outdoor seating area with heaters for cooler days. My only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I do so wish they'd bring back their delectable mushroom tacos and continue the vegan menu they offered last month, as we have many vegan friends we'd like to invite. That said, they are very accommodating about making adjustments to existing offerings where they can. Oh, and fabulous cocktails and wine menu too.More infoMediterraPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• Princeton•4.7
- CcarloNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined on Nov 18, 2024This was our first experience a Mauryas - they opened 7 months ago, but we hadn't heard about it. The staff went above and beyond to set up a table for us to be in the main dining room, provided extras that were not on the bill like preappetizers , prosecco and a birthday dessert. The food was incredibly good - we ordered off the Elevated Indian menu. They are able to accomodate parties of two, five, or up to 12-15! They also have an upstairs private dining/reception area, and a second dining roo which could be private or not. The service was overall exceptional. It is a short drive from Princeton center to the Forrestal Village where Mauyas is located - and parking is easy and free!More infoThe Mauryas Bar and LoungePrice: Very Expensive• American• Princeton•4.6
- KKimNew York City •16 reviews4.0Dined on Oct 25, 2024We always enjoy the food here. Having a salad included in the meal is a plus. Our only complaint is the noise level. There isn't anything in the restaurant that absorbs sound.More infoTrattoria ProcacciniPrice: Moderate• Italian• Princeton•4.5
