We went there for dinner on a Monday and it had a lot people already and it was barely 5pm, so I recommend making reservations for this place, there’s plenty of parking. They have a separate menu that’s completely vegan, I order the rosemary Paloma which is alcohol free, was so good and the presentation was very cute for pictures, for the food I ordered Fettuccine ai Funghi and for dessert I had the 3 scoops of their sorbetto (guava, Meyer lemon and mixed berry) loved this place can’t wait to come back!

Had a wonderful dining experience at Mezzaluna! The staff was super responsive, there when needed, and the timing was spot on. The food was delicious. From the Gnocchi to the salad to the braised rib ravioli! The Fugitaboutit was memorable and the espresso martini was a great way to end the night. While it can be a tad bit loud, overall a top spot.

I was so disappointed. It was like they tried to “elevate” Italian food and only succeeded in making it not Italian food at all. Very crowded. The atmosphere certainly did not match the prices.

You’ll want a reservation here and its well worth the trouble. Food was excellent, as was the service! We all enjoyed everything and ordered a wide variety of dishes. We spent quite a bit but splurged on pre dinner drinks, wine, after dinner Amaro and some take home gelato. Gnocchi appetizer was fantastic. My spicy Rigatoni alla Buttera was in fact spicy, especially since I had to request they leave out the cream. Wine prices were reasonable with a great selection. Lots of Amaro choices, which we really enjoyed.

So accommodating to us being gluten free! It has been forever since I’ve actually had ciabatta rolls and baguettes served upon request gluten free. It’s the little things like dipping in oil and pairing with peppers that I miss out on with celiac disease and Mezzaluna gave me that back for an evening. They were above and beyond, double-checking whenever they were unsure. It was a great experience & we’ll definitely be back soon.

It was an ok Italian restaurant but is very expensive for what it is. The amatriciana seemed good. The squid ink pasta with clams was pretty salty. The tiramisu was average.

We had the pulpa di giglia as an appetizer, Caesar salad, burrata con pomodoro, ravioli di manzi, agnolotti di funghi, and gelato (pistachio, Nutella, and candy cap mushroom). Everything tasted amazingly delicious!! My personal favorites were the burrata – the sun dried tomatoes were out of this world and agnolotti di funghi (with black truffle shavings).

Great local restaurant with house made mozzarella, pasta, gnocchi and gelato. The dishes are prepared simply to highlight the quality of the house made products (which are for sale in the attached store). And the food was quite nice. The house made pasta wasn’t heavy, which a lot of fresh pastas can be. The gnocchi were heavenly (though I wasn’t a huge fan of the sage brown butter – that was a little bland to my taste). The mozzarellas were all nice and reminded me of the cheeses my Italian father used to make.

Everything here was AMAZING! Food, drinks, service! The pasta was so incredible. I will definitely come here again when I visit Carmel 🙂 A+!! I also loved that they provided blankets for each person, as it did get a little chilly sitting outside in the evening.
