    By far the best Italian food I’ve ever had. Must try: Eggplant Rollantini, Burrata and Cannelloni. Friendly staff. Hope to dine again there soon

    Great food with engaged servers and BYO what is not to love. Could not believe how reasonably priced it was for the quality of the food.

    We were only 3 people and we were seated at the last table in the back next to the kitchen at a big table for 6 people that was closed off from the restaurant. Didn’t get to experience the atmosphere of the restaurant and felt like dining separately from everyone in the restaurant. The food and service was excellent.

    I love eating at Mezzaluna for lunch. The food is excellent and the service was so friendly. It is also centrally located in Princeton with two parking lots near by.

    Had a group of 4 guys. Hadn't seen each other in a while, so a lot of catching up. Sever was very respectful of our readiness to order. I had the special crab-stuffed mushroom appetizer special and ossobuco. Crab was plentiful and tasty, as was the nice sized mushroom. Would have liked the sauce, which had good thickness to have been savorier. The ossobuco was quite large and the meat was very tender. Came with a well-prepare risotto in a red sauce. Good, but again, would have liked the flavor to have been a bit bolder. Price for the meal was very reasonable and a good value for the Princeton area. Overall, our group was very pleased with our meals.
