Food Quality
Pros:
"The food and service were both excellent and reasonably priced."
"The rigatoni had an amazing cream sauce and tender, melt in your mouth pasta."
"Love the fresh grated parmeggiano reggiano cheese."
"Truly Italian food and flavors. Love their risottos, the Ossobuco, pasta a la vodka or w seafood and their salads."
"The food at La Mezzaluza was amazing! Definitely authentic and met the high standards of my friends and I."
"The food is absolutely delicious."
"The food was excellent, I had delicious linguine with seafood, a simple dish that is easy to screw up and make so-so with dry shrimp and bland pasta, but this one was juicy, tender and flavorful."
Cons:
"The Linguine Bolognese was awful - it was just pasta with bad tomato sauce - there was no meat to be found in the dish."
"Stuffed Cannelloni was hard and chewy, chicken parmigiana was tasteless and cheese cake was really bad."
"Description of tiramisu was excellent. However cake itself was awful."
"The chocolate fritters would be better served at Dunkin and, even then, I'd probably feed the birds with them."
"Just no. And there is no resemblance to 'the taste of Italy'!!"
"The food was very ordinary, I wouldn’t even give a one star for the food if I could."
"Food was horrible. really worst we ever had at any restaurant."
Service
Pros:
"Great service every time I go."
"The staff is amazing and it is authentic."
"The price was sane, and the service was very pleasant."
"Waiter is very nice."
"From our phenomenal waiter, to the outstanding food."
"The waiters were attentive, yet not intrusive."
"The service is friendly and prompt, and if you're lucky, you even get some complimentary limoncello at the end of your meal, just like you do in Italy."
Cons:
"The service was bad we ordered 2 appetizers 1 came out the other was forgotten."
"The waiters were always nowhere to be found, it was impossible to find them just to get more water and it took over an hour for our food to come out!"
"Service was friendly, but a little slow."
"We were brought the wrong tables meals 2 times and one dish 3 times."
"Service was good part. However good was average."
"The service was a bit slow."
"Service, though pleasant, was scarce; we waited 10 minutes to request a table, beverage refills were never offered, and empty plates sat on the table much longer than expected."
Ambiance
Pros:
"Atmosphere was very nice, not too loud."
"Lively crowd of students and locals on a Wednesday night."
"My date and I were sat at the window seat and it was really nice."
"It was dim and quiet, and the ambiance overall was relaxing."
"The atmosphere at La Mezzaluna is what I might term tastefully austere."
"Nice atmosphere too, and food in the end was very good."
