" I’m a local and love dining at Mezza Notte. The food brings back fond memories of dinners at my grandma's house! I highly recommend the chicken parmesan; it’s massive and incredibly tasty! We often go on weekends, and the service can vary depending on how busy they are. One time, the waitress was overwhelmed, and we had to wait a while for refills. However, our food was served hot and fresh. This restaurant holds a special place in my heart, and I’ll continue to support it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mezza Notte has become my go-to spot for Italian cuisine! The owners genuinely care about their customers, which reflects in the service. I highly recommend trying their special risotto with seafood—it's made with fresh ingredients, and every bite tastes amazing. I also appreciate the BYOB policy, which lets me bring my favorite wine to pair with my meal. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality of food. Let's not forget about those desserts! The baklava is a must-try. It’s a lovely place for family dinners or date nights. Just remember, the decor is simple, but the food is fantastic! " (*Curated Review*)

" The ambiance was a bit off for my taste, but when it comes to food, Mezza Notte delivers! I ordered the chicken piccata, and the flavors were spot on. The service was attentive, despite it being busy. My friends and I shared a few appetizers, and the fried calamari was divine. I noticed that most tables were filled with locals, which I take as a good sign. It feels like a family-owned establishment that values its repeat customers. I had a great time and will definitely come back next time I’m in town. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic little spot! The food was authentic and delicious. We tried the seafood risotto and eggplant rollatini—each had such fresh ingredients. Our server was charming and fast, although it got a little busy, and we noticed a slight delay in receiving our desserts. Overall, I loved the experience and will definitely be coming back for more delicious Italian dining! " (*Curated Review*)

" This was our first visit, and we were pleased! The pasta dishes were well-prepared. I had the lasagna, which was cheesy and hearty, and my partner tried the fettuccine Alfredo. We both enjoyed our meals very much! The staff was friendly, but we did experience a long wait for our drinks. The ambiance is nice and fits a classic Italian restaurant vibe, albeit somewhat outdated. All in all, I would give Mezza Notte another chance and look forward to trying other items on the menu!

" Mezza Notte is a hidden gem! I've been a couple of times now, and the food is consistently incredible. I usually go for their specials, and this time I had the shrimp scampi. It was spectacular—served over freshly made pasta! The ambiance is quaint, and it feels cozy inside. The wait staff is friendly, but we had a little wait for our table even though we arrived early on a Saturday. Definitely worth the wait for such delicious food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, our experience at Mezza Notte was nothing short of spectacular! We celebrated our anniversary there, and the staff went out of their way to make it special. From the moment we walked in, the warm ambiance enveloped us. The calamari was tender, perfectly fried, and the homemade marinara sauce was the star of the show. For my main course, I ordered the chicken parmesan, and it was enormous—a feast for the eyes and the stomach! The dessert menu was enticing, so we ordered the cannoli and tiramisu to share. Both were decadent and the perfect sweet end to our meal. We felt valued as guests, and I can’t recommend this place enough for quality Italian dining. Don’t miss it! " (*Curated Review*)
