   We had a very nice meal before the show. Our server was attentive. The food was really really exceptional. One small question however. Isn't lingini thin strips of pasta? My linguini with clams was really tasty. But the pasta was more fettuccini size. Not the end of the world, but still not what was expected. But the piece that really kept them from getting five stars across the board was the invoice. I asked for some cheese for my "linguini" and clams. Our server brought a small soufle size cup with grated parmesan. I was expecting to get cheese grated over my meal. But that was not the kicker. When we got the bill, there was a $4 charge for the soufle cup of grated cheese! We were taken aback. We didn't say anything as we did not want to make a scene. But I am taking this opportunity to register my disappointment. As I stated from the start. It was a great meal. That cheese charge though......

   Elegant atmosphere with waitstaff that clearly have experience- providing service in a dignified non intrusive manner. Presentation of food was well done, very appetizing. Excellent flavoring, Open alone slightly spicier than anticipated. Let the broccoli rabe rile veggie flavor with sausage. Would highly recommend this restaurant for a special meal to catch up with someone special, enjoy during travel or special occasion celebration.

   The cafe was a cute little place but the food could have been easily kicked up a notch. Toast the bread in the beginning and the calamari was a little chewy but main dishes were surprisingly delicious. Server Stephen was great and a pleasure.

   Cafe Mezzanotte is a very good casual dining restaurant in downtown Wilmington, DE. Steven, our server, provided great service and the reasonably priced Italian food was over the top. It was every thing you could ask for in a dining experience. We will definitely try to visit this gem more often!

    Lovely dining experience. We were seated promptly and served water immediately. Our server was pleasant and knowledgeable, and her recommendation of the Pinot Grigio was spot-on (less sweet and more minerally than a typical PG). The complimentary bruschetta was tasty. My wife ordered the cioppino. The seafood was exquisitely prepared with a marinara that had a softness and butteriness to it. I enjoyed a cheese ravioli (all pasta made in house and it tasted like it) with sage and butter sauce. The coconut/pineapple sorbet was really delicious. The restaurant itself is not exactly cozy - it has an old-school openness, and a sort of cool modernity - but the food, and service, were excellent. Highly recommended.
