    Menu was somewhat boring. Nothing special. The food was prepared well and tasted good. Service ok. I was hoping for a bit better experience but it was not bad given the great location.

    We had a very nice meal before the show. Our server was attentive. The food was really really exceptional. One small question however. Isn't lingini thin strips of pasta? My linguini with clams was really tasty. But the pasta was more fettuccini size. Not the end of the world, but still not what was expected. But the piece that really kept them from getting five stars across the board was the invoice. I asked for some cheese for my "linguini" and clams. Our server brought a small soufle size cup with grated parmesan. I was expecting to get cheese grated over my meal. But that was not the kicker. When we got the bill, there was a $4 charge for the soufle cup of grated cheese! We were taken aback. We didn't say anything as we did not want to make a scene. But I am taking this opportunity to register my disappointment. As I stated from the start. It was a great meal. That cheese charge though......

    Elegant atmosphere with waitstaff that clearly have experience- providing service in a dignified non intrusive manner. Presentation of food was well done, very appetizing. Excellent flavoring, Open alone slightly spicier than anticipated. Let the broccoli rabe rile veggie flavor with sausage. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal to catch up with someone special, enjoy during travel or special occasion celebration.

    The cafe was a cute little place but the food could have been easily kicked up a notch. Toast the bread in the beginning and the calamari was a little chewy but main dishes were surprisingly delicious. Server Stephen was great and a pleasure.

    Cafe Mezzanotte is a very good casual dining restaurant in downtown Wilmington, DE. Steven, our server, provided great service and the reasonably priced Italian food was over the top. It was every thing you could ask for in a dining experience. We will definitely try to visit this gem more often!
