    I am so disappointed by this establishment. Mezza Notte was chosen by my best friend to host the repass for her father. The manager of the restaurant promised that it would be a private space, but allowed other customers in the space, which was totally disruptive. When we attempted to raise our concerns to the manager, we were met with animosity and our concerns were dismissed. The manager was so inconsiderate and insensitive to the situation. We were also overcharged. We were told "not to come back" and I would not recommend going to this restaurant. I can't imagine how the manager treats others, if this is how he was acting towards my friend and her family who just lost a loved one.

    Had a nice dinner with my brother flying in tonight. We had a New York steak and stuffed leg of lamb for main course. Had some oysters and shrimp cocktail for appetizers, cheesecakes and decaf coffee for dessert. BRING YOUR OWN WINE! I didnt know so I drove over real quick to Bottle King about a mile away and picked up a fruity French red wine that paired well with our main courses. My brother says he wants to bring his son on his trip. It was a nice time to get caught up with my brother over nice food!

    This place is a gem. I found it on google maps read the reviews and decided to take a shot at it. Food is absolutely delightful . The stuffed artichoke is a must have. They can just sell this item online all day long. Fresh raw oysters taste like the ocean. Chicken breast with mushrooms sausage and homemade gnocchi is delish, stuffed filet or sole with crabmeat is scrumptious. The service is superb, lots of locals and regulars. We got there at 5, by 7 the place was packed. I must say the interior can use an upgrade I was a bit skeptical at first but don’t be fooled by the looks. This is a serious foodie place. Italian at its best!! Just bring your wine and an empty stomach and keep eating….. YUM

    Real Italian food made with love, the way Nonna used to cook. The staff treats you like family. They have the space for a large party or an intimate table for 2. It's the food that makes you a repeat customer. Their chicken francese and lobster ravioli are by far my favorites. I have not had a bad meal, EVER, from Mezza Notte's. Dine in or take out. Either way, you'll have a happy tummy.

    I had my daughter’s birthday dinner on Saturday, July 9th and this was the first time I’ve been to Mezzanotte. Michael and his staff did NOT disappoint!!!! He makes you feel like a life long friend the moment he greets you! The food was fantastic, as was the service and all of our guests were extremely satisfied as well. Michael, we can’t wait to come back for lunch or dinner!!! Thank you so much for making my daughters birthday very memorable!

    Like most other folks who have reviewed this place I have to say that the food is great, but the decor is sadly old and tired looking. That is not to say that it's dirty by any means, because it's very clean. All the food our party of 8 had was beautifully prepared and everyone agreed that their dishes were delicious. The service was attentive and professional. This place has a good location, with their own parking lot, but I have to admit that I really don't know why there are not more people coming in to eat here. If you live in the area I would highly recommend giving this place a try. We will certainly be back.

    We’ve driven by this restaurant for years, and finally gave it a try tonight. Boy were we pleasantly surprised! Everything we ordered was wonderful. We started with a mushroom appetizer, stuffed with cheese and topped with pesto cream sauce. They brought out warm, crusty bread and have salad. My wife had the penne with vodka sauce. I had chicken marsala. Both were wonderful. They brought out “chicken fingers“ and fries for my son. The “chicken fingers” were instead fresh homemade breaded chicken cutlets. He loved them. Dessert was also a pleasant surprise. Chocolate mousse cake, cannoli, and tartufo were all terrific. As a few other reviewers have noticed, the interior could use some updating. But the food, service and reasonable prices will definitely bring us back.

    We just had our second baptism here and it was great. Mike and his team are very accommodating and make sure everything runs smoothly. They are BYOB, and very reasonably priced making it a great spot for a small event.

    The owners are so friendly, and the food is always delicious! The menu has great variety, and they always have a ton of specials. Out of all the Italian restaurants around, Mezzanotte is my family's favorite!

    Had a birthday celebration here. We were a party of 9 on a Saturday night. Things started off a bit rocky. The entire restaurant was filled with smoke. This was not cigarette smoke nor cake candles rather it seemed to come from the kitchen and never seemed to clear. Next we ordered Pelligrino but they were out. We settled for small bottles of Poland Spring. After that, everything was very good. Our waiter and his assistants gave us great service. They offered plenty of specials to go along with a big menu. Everyone was very happy with their food. All in all I would certainly recommend for a very reasonable byob Italian restaurant.

    With just one day notice Mike the owner was more than willing to accommodate 30 guests and help us in having a repass lunch. I had never heard of the restaurant but I needed a place close to the cemetery and I found him with a four and a half star rating and good reviews. Coming from a very Italian family (and critics) let me tell you the food was delicious and good portions. Nothing was pretentious about dining there. I really felt like I was at home on a Sunday afternoon enjoying a delicious meal. I was getting compliments on choosing the location. The service was exceptional they always were paying attention to the needs of my guest and Mike was there on hand personally to make sure everything went well. The preselected dinners that he had online were great choices and we were not disappointed at all with any of the entrees. What you don't get from Mezza Notte when you first enter is a restaurant full of fancy decorations all over the place. What you do get is a great family friendly attentive atmosphere, great service and excellent food for the price. My first time there but it will not be the last, we have more events in the future and Mike will certainly get my business.

    Visited here as we were staying at a hotel down the street. Literally the food ive eaten in years. I ate my spaghetti, finished my son's. Fortunately my wife finished hers in time! Next time we're in the area I'll make a special stop. Wonderful dinner

    Food wasn't hot, service was dreadfully slow, it seemed it was all locals. Waiter spilled steaming hot cappuccino on my friends leg, no one came to the table for more than 30 min when seated, no one cleared our table, or took drink orders.
