    Mezza Luna is a classic Italian restaurant. They always have some of the freshest and finest seafood on the coast. We both had the salmon carpaccio appetizer and the calamari dore which was tender and delicious. Highly recommended.

    We had a lovely meal, meats cooked perfectly to order. I did expect the poached pear dessert to be warm, but was right out of the refrigerator. The menu did not say it would be warm, that was just my assumption because of the word poached probably. Otherwise, all was excellent!

    Easy nearby parking. Prompt seating with excellent view of ocean and marina. Delightful, non-alcoholic spritzer. Delicious pasta-salmon cream sauce and lamb chops with fresh asparagus. Wonderful coffee at the end. Shall return.

    We dined at Mezza Luna for Valentines Day. It had been booked quite some time in advance. We learned of the pre-fix menu closer to the time of the booking. It was very busy as expected, and the service was quite slow in spite of them knowing they were fully booked. I had to get up and get my own salt and pepper as the server just wasn't chekcing on us enough. The food was tasty, good, but not outstanding. They could have included a glass of house wine for the price we paid for the entire evening. There was GF pasta, but no GF bread was offered. I would increase the level of service and attention to customers. I would try it again on the regular menu.
