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'!!"
