Food was very good. Enjoyed the mozzarella bar and brown butter gnocchi as starters. We tried the lobster pasta and chicken lasagna and they were both delicious! Wait staff was wonderful! Will definitely go back.

This was our 3rd dinner at Mezzaluna and everything is as consistently good as the first time - food, service, ambiance. One family member is gluten free and had a great dining experience! Gluten free bread upon request, several gluten free appetizer and dinner options, and a server who helped her navigate the menu choices very knowledgeably and considerately.

Excellent food and good service. The background music does not do anything for the ambience. Something other than thumping club music would be nicer.

Mezzaluna is a comfortable, unpretentious and classic Italian pasteria. We’ve had meals there several times before. The service has always been very attentive and quick without being overbearing. The food is well made and delicious, portions just right. Sauces are refined and subtle. Fresh pasta selections are varied and interesting.
