    Meal was delicious. Server very accommodating of some special dietary needs. Not crowded for a Friday night so noise level was great for conversation.

    We dined on a weeknight near Christmas and there was a loud private Christmas party in the bar area. Dining room was nearly empty and generally sterile and unattractive. Our server was efficient but not particularly friendly. Our food was above average overall except for the calamari appetizer. In a better setting with some ambience this would have been a nice experience.

    We’re from out of town and found Cafe M through OpenTable. Our waiter was courteous and provided good service. My husband enjoyed his dish of clams, shrimp & fish. It had a marinara-like sauce. Unfortunately my strip steak was flavorless.

    Limited menu, but don’t be afraid to ask the chef for what you want. My wife wanted linguine with clams ( not on the menu). They made the dish for her. I had a perfectly cooked veal chop. Great restaurant!

    Nice, quiet atmosphere with a subtly modern decor. The staff in general was accommodating, pleasant and helpful Our server was friendly and welcoming. She answered all of our questions and made recommendations which turned out to be exactly as she represented. The chef/owner, Sergio, was congenial, pleasant and funny but, most of all, humble. Incredible experience! I highly recommend Cafe Mezzanotte. We will certainly return there often!

    Cafe Mezzanotte is consistently a great experience. Veal chop is out of this world. But everything that Sergio produces is excellent, fresh, and authentic Italian cuisine. Go there. You will NOT be disappointed!!
