Mezza Luna Ristorante

Husband and I went for a date night. The front room was super busy but they put us in the formal dining room in front of the fireplace. It was perfect. Anita was our server and she was fantastic! I ordered the fettuccine w/shrimp and she suggested having the shrimp blackened. It was perfect. Husband had New York Strip and he enjoyed it. Will definitely be back again. Good and service were great!

What a beautiful restaurant! The ambience really makes this place. The live music was really great and not so loud that you couldn't talk. Our food was exceptional and the portions were fair for the price. The short rib pasta dish (Fresh Pappardelle) was outstanding. The lasagna was a big hit too, and we loved the risotto that was served with the scallops. Definitely recommend the Brussels sprout appetizer. The server we had in the bar for our after dinner drinks was excellent. Our dinner server was efficient and everything was accurate but after learning the pasta special was out when we were ordering, I had asked if another entree could be made without spinach. She said she didn't think so but didn't offer up other suggestions. So I ended up quickly going with my third choice meal so everyone else didn't have to wait. It ended up being delicious so I wasn't disappointed. It would have been helpful to know what they were out of sooner or what could be modified for allergies. We did appreciate her ability to split up our checks.

Love this place, I dine often!The service is always exceptional. Favorite dishes on the menu are the basil pizza and the red pepper pasta.Tried the duck this time, it was good but I realized I'm not the biggest duck fan. Also, HIGHLY recommend the bread pudding with caramel sauce. Do not leave without it, it is by far the best dessert I've had.

Reservations with a large party, we were seated in quiet dining area. The other side with the bar is a be very different vibe. We were thrilled to be seated here as we were family in town for a wedding, and wanted a quiet area so we could catch up. The food and the service were outstanding! Excellent Italian cuisine. Drinks were delicious and well crafted. If I'm ever in area again will definitely return to dine here. The food was that good! I'm from NY so I'm very particular about good Italian food. You will not be disappointed here. We had a variety of appetizers and meals, that everyone was pleased with.

I was never able to try Mezza Luna when living in Jax but gave it a shot when I returned to visit and I'm so glad I did! We were a large party without a reservation but the host managed to get us seated after just a couple minutes. The place was very cute with dimmed lights.Our server got to us right away and came back with drinks not long after as well. For appetizers, we went for the Mussels, polpette and some truffle fries. Mussels could have used some salt but aside from that, everything tasted great with lots of seasoning.For the entree, I did the fetuccini Alfredo with Shrimp. What I loved about this dish was the unique flavor the peppers gave it. Shrimp was cooked to perfection and went really well with the red pepper Alfredo sauce. We were too full to even order dessert even though I wish I did. I must point out, this place is really into detail and has little sections on the menu that point out to vegan/vegetarian and even no garlic options so there is something for everyone. Will be returning on my next visit to Jax!

Stopped by for a drink and quick bite with my friend at the bar. The Cacio e Pepe was as good as I remembered. This was my first time getting an espresso martini here and I'm impressed! Not super watered down, used actual espresso/coffee instead of just coffee liqueur.

The ambience was phenomenal; was like being in Italy, think lady and the tramp when they are kissing with the spaghetti! Food was hearty and satisfying reminding me of my Nona's cooking back in the hills of Tuscany overlooking the small painted rock in the middle of the town square. While we were there we tried the fettuccine, the pappardelle, meatballs, truffle fries and gnocchi. We ended with an exquisite dessert of tiramisu. It reminded me of first time I ever saw a full eclipse; a once every seven year sensational feeling that I've been chasing ever since. I fell for with the waitress (figuratively), she had a great attitude behind those stylish glasses. Hope to visit again but if not I'll leave this world a happier man than I ever could've imagined

Delicious dinner at Mezza Luna to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We started with the beef tartare, mussels, and truffle fries. All of which were delicious, but choose the mussels if you can only have one. For my entree, I had the Pan Seared Diver Scallops which were served over a corn and Parmesan risotto, which I loved. My boyfriend had the Spinach Raditore, which wasn't his favorite but may have been because he asked for no cheese on the dish when it comes with it. Dinner at Mezza never disappoints.

Whoa!! Was the food good? Yes.. was it timed and staged absolutely NOT!We were seated at 5:30 given water and 10 minutes later our server reappeared. We ordered drinks, appetizer, salad and entree. They were out of a ghost pepper tequila and so I reordered.Drinks came, salad came appetizer came and while eating the appetizer our entree came.What the hell? $180.00 tab and we were out by 6:27! That's all. Picture of the entree only because it sat the longest on our table waiting for us to finish our mussel appetizer.Certainly will not make my rotation!

Mezza Luna as a whole offers an excellent dining experience. The food was outstanding, and the service was top-notch. However, our experience was significantly affected by the noise level from a nearby table.We were seated next to a table of 5-6 women celebrating a birthday who behaved more as if they were at a sports bar than an upscale restaurant. As the night went on--and the wine flowed--their volume escalated to the point where two of them screamed so loudly that the entire restaurant fell silent. Unfortunately, this didn't deter them, and they continued their rowdy behavior. The excessive noise even led to a mix-up with one of our appetizers, though our waitress quickly corrected it with an apology.This was my fiancée's first time at Mezza Luna, and we were celebrating our anniversary, hoping for a romantic, upscale dining experience. While the food and service lived up to expectations, the atmosphere did not. We'll certainly return for the food, but we may request a quieter table next time.
