Everyone was happy with their orders. We had the spicy vodka rigatoni, margarita pizza, apple Fuji salad, Caesar salad. Their minestrone soup is delicious and so is their mussels in the most delicious broth.

Our server Anthony was very attentive and fun. The food was all so good, as were the wines and a Negroni. Delicious. We stayed for almost 2.5 hours as we were with a friend my husband and I had not seen in a very long time. We never felt hurried. I hope we can visit again soon.

JT IS THE GREATEST!!! Everything else was amazing (as usual), too. Crab cakes were fresh and moist inside, perfectly golden crunchy on the outside, vegetable soup was nice (could have been a little hotter) Poached Salmon & Bavette were both perfectly cooked and seasoned, with all sides and sauces harmoniously augmenting the stars of each dish. Pluot crostata was crunchy, not overly sweet, and delicious. This was one of the top 3 if not 2 meals we’ve ever had here over the course of the past 5 years. Oh, also, did we mention JT is Awesome? Thanks for another perfect culinary experience, Mezzo! See you again very soon. Mayra & Alex

Went for my wife birthday luncheon on a Wednesday at 11:30am. This fairly new restaurant is a great new addition to this area. The motif is modern style with an open concept including the kitchen and bar that looks out to the outdoor seating and street. Our dining service and food were excellent. The little gem Cesar salad, Crispy brussel sprouts,Spicy rigatoni vodka, Trattole chicken pesto, and Squid Ink Tonnarelli were delicious. They have an extensive beverage menu , and be sure to checkout their desserts. Will definitely return to tryout other dishes.

This is the rare, truly authentic Italian restaurant in the Bay Area. The service is incredibly attentive and friendly -- even on a busy night. Don't miss the handmade pastas and the out of this world desserts. We loved the jovial ambiance, combined with high-end dining, another rarity.

We went on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was actually full. The arancini appetizer was delicious and the Caesar salad was sooo good. Our pizzas were fabulous- the mushroom and the Italian sausage. Service was excellent!

Food was delicious and service was outstanding. Our server Eunice was incredible. Super sweet, helpful and went above and beyond. A friend in our party kept joking about wanting a good ham and cheese sandwich and she brings him one hot and delicious free of charge in addition to meal he ordered. It’s not even on the menu! When does that ever happen??!! Excellent experience, food and drinks!
