I would highly recommend this Italian spot! It's a nice looking restaurant inside and they have cool view of the ocean. It was a very busy Saturday evening. Had a large-party reservation here and our service was awesome and organized. We had a custom menu for our table and everything was great. Starters: Calamari, Ceasar Salad Entrees: 1st dish Ravioli Mezza Luna stuff w/ Salmon & 2nd dish: out of 3 dishes, I chose the Pesce del Giorno (sea bass). What stood out was both the sauces on each pasta dish. Both tasted delicious! Dessert: Bigne Mezza Luna (custard filled pastry drizzled with dark chocolate). I also ordered a Mocha Latte & an Affogato (a whole lot of sugar but so worth it). Definitely would come back!

Totally outstanding from the bread, house Merlot, salad, and Veal Scallopini is the best I've had in years. Desserts are awesome too. Great service and ambiance.

We went to Mezza Luna for our Thanksgiving dinner and did not have a reservation. Staff made sure we got a seating and from there on out it was continued perfect service from everyone! They could not have been more attentive and the restaurant was packed with holiday diners. The food was excellent, fresh and served with a lot of attention to detail. We've been before and will continue you bring them our business. Wanted to say Thank You to the entire staff. P.s. photo is the "face" of the back of their building. Made me chuckle.

The first two things that stood out to me when dining at Mezza was (1) how attentive and nice the service was and then (2) how carefully The food was crafted. More on (2) later, but the service was very nice and attentive, although we did visit right when the restaurant opened. As for the food, it felt and seemed like quality. The only issue I had with the food was that I felt it was overly salty. To me, this caused the flavors and ingredients put into the food not to shine as well as it could have. But each mouthful, you could taste that it was well made, carefully crafted, just overly seasoned. That said, the restaurant, with great views and large windows, plenty of seating and great hospitality made our trip still memorable.

The staff never fails to make us feel at home, the food is consistently great, fish is fresh and perfectly cooked. Recently held a wedding reception in the fireplace room. So intimate and successfully handled by the friendly, accommodating staff. Our 50th anniversary 16 years ago afforded us the same atmosphere and family like ambiance. Looks like our family celebrations will continue at Mezza Luna being hosted by our favorite smiling team. When you visit the coast stop in at Mezza Luna and try it for yourself!

Fantastic restaurant with great service! We had a family dinner there last night, while on a visit to HMB. We had a reservation and did not have to wait long at all. Parking can get tricky, as it is a busy area. But we ended up with a great spot just up the street. The service was top notch. Our server was very friendly, helpful with discussing the menu options and very funny. The food came out very quickly, presentation was great and everything was well prepared. I had the Pollo Saltimbocca, my wife had the Bolognese, my kids had Margherita Pizza and Fettucine Alfredo. We also had the meatball as an appetizer. Everything was delicious and enjoyed by all. We also opted for dessert, which again was fantastic. We have been to HMB in years, but used to frequent the area in the past. We definitely plan to come more often again. When we do, Mezza Luna will be on our dining list.

I came here for work dinner with a table of 15 or so, and boy, were they on it! They did such an amazing job with the service.We always had a full glass of water and drinks. Everything was quick to come out, from bread service, appetizer, drinks, dinner, and desserts. With my dairy allergy, our server was able to help accommodate my order for their new York strip steak and substitute with a side of pasta tossed in garlic and olive oils. The steak was amazing, full of flavor, and topped off with a chimmchurrie sauce. I'd fly there again just for the steak alone! I also ordered their seafood salad, and that was decent. For dessert, I ordered a whiskey, which was on standard ice. I would recommend ice molds, just so the whiskey doesn't get watered down too fast. But that's my recommendation to take up the spirits at another level. If you're looking for a nice restaurant, great service, amazing food...here's your place!

Never been a pasta guy. Pasta is Noodles is noodles I always say . WRONG OH BONGO. We stopped in and shared their Pasta Pomodoro dish and over a week later I almost have tears in my eyes as I reminisce on the beautiful serving lovingly split in two for us. The sauce tasted of fresh tomato sunshine. First time in my life I have praised a dish to a waiter. Now the beer was definitely overpriced so I skipped that. But that pasta! Quick give me a tissue to dab away the tears of joy before my wife laughs at me.

Mezza Luna Restaurant was within walking distance of our hotel, so we decided to have dinner here on our first night in town. Naturally I looked up the Yelp rating and several reviews prior to our visit, hoping to decide what to order in advance. We ordered the Mista and Caprese Salads and calamari to share, all were delicious. Our group ordered the Salmon alla Dolores, the fish (halibut) piccata, the calamari steak, and the Pasta con Gamberoni. Everyone raved about their meals. I will say the Gamberoni did not have a lot of sauce and was on the dry side. I ended up Just eating the shrimp out of it. I would definitely come back again and try something else off the menu, but I wouldn't go for the Gamberoni again. This place has such great reviews, it must have been an off night in the kitchen. Next time we're in town we will try again!
