" Not sure what all the fuss is about. My experience was mediocre at best. I ordered the mushroom agnolotti and it was underwhelming. I expected something richer considering all the reviews. Plus, the service was slow, and it took a while to catch a server's attention. The environment was nice, but that’s about it. I think I might have just arrived on an off night. Wouldn't rush back anytime soon, if at all. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a lovely find in Pacific Grove! The restaurant was carved into a cozy nook, and the vibe really felt like Italy. I couldn’t resist ordering the ravioli with duck, which was rich and flavorful! We also tried their cocktails, which were creative. The only thing I wished for was a bit more attention from the staff, which made some parts of the meal feel rushed. Overall an enjoyable experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Last night was a culinary adventure at Mezzaluna Pasteria & Mozzarella Bar! From the moment we stepped in, the ambiance was warm and inviting. We indulged in their signature gnocchi and it was one of the best I've ever tasted, so light and fluffy! The service was impeccable; our waiter was very knowledgeable and recommended the perfect wine pairing for our meal. The only downside was that it got a bit busy and loud later on, but that didn’t overshadow the fantastic food. Can’t wait to come back for another special occasion! " (*Curated Review*)

" I want to gush about my experience at Mezzaluna Pasteria & Mozzarella Bar! Everything from the ambiance to the food was delightful. Our dining experience was star-studded too. We savored the burrata and insalata for starters, which were refreshing and bright. My main course, the spicy rigatoni, was rich and flavorful without being overwhelming. The only tiny criticism comes from the dessert; the tiramisu was a bit underwhelming compared to the rest of the meal, but overall, it didn’t ruin the experience. I plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" This establishment has its charm—amazing homemade pasta and a wonderful selection of wines. However, our service lagged a bit especially during busy dinner hours. The atmosphere can get quite lively, which happened to us, but it helps with the overall ambiance. My meal portion felt generous for the price compared to other upscale spots in the area. Worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood. " (*Curated Review*)

" We went to celebrate a birthday and were greeted warmly by the staff. The food was delightful from start to finish. We shared a variety of small plates, and each dish was unique and flavorful! My main dish, a creamy saffron risotto, was outstanding! The only critique I have is that it took a while for dessert to arrive, but our waiter was super apologetic. Will definitely be back for future celebrations! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes visiting this restaurant after hearing so much buzz. The decor is charming, yet I was slightly let down by the flavors of the pasta dish I ordered. While the service was friendly and accommodating, the freshness of the pasta didn’t linger on my taste buds the way I expected. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. I might give it a second chance, but only with a recommendation. " (*Curated Review*)
