It was mediocre at best. Food was just ok and the service wasn’t good. Waiter was no where to be found. It’s a once a year restaurant.

Our first visit there. Food was okay. Waitress was very nice and attentive but could tell she was inexperienced when asking questions about the specials and what came with it. wound up being uncharged $4 because we ordered the caesar salad, even though when we asked her which salads were included she said garden and caesar. 🤦‍♀️

We were a party of 6 on a Sunday at 2 PM. We all ordered from the lunch menu, which is available 7 days a week. We all ordered different things and everyone’s dish was excellent. The service was very good and it’s nice that the pizzeria is separate so you don’t feel like you’re eating in the back of a pizza place. I already planned another luncheon there.

Waiter forgot salad that was ordered and came out with the entrees first. They constantly came by and tried to clear plates from the table even though we were not finished with them.

Mezza Luna is one of our favorite local restaurants and last night didn’t disappoint. We ordered one of their specials, Detroit Square Pizza, as an appetizer and it was very good. We also ordered calamari for the table that was cooked perfectly. Everyone’s meal was great and the service was good. Highly recommend this restaurant for a nice night out with friends. We also love that it’s a BYOB.

Second time there. First time great food. This time food was fair for me and poor for the family’s meals unfortunately. Service was ridiculously slow which made us leave instead of having dessert. Waitress was nice but very inexperienced sadly.

Appetizers were ok, entrees were tasteless. Apparently short staffed. Had to ask more than once for anything. Used platters not cleared from table before next course was served. Won’t be back anytime soon.

My wife & myself enjoyed a terrific lunch on Saturday, April 02,2022. Dining room was very clean with the food very good. We had several food items which were really good with large portions. Outstanding dining experience. Our server was PEDRO, perhaps the best server I have ever experienced. We will return frequently and will recommend Meza Luna to all. Bob S. Manalapan, N.J.

The food was actually very good- old fashioned Italian comfort food. Could eat there any day of the week and get a good meal. The service was choppy. We were waited on by what seemed to be a high school student. No problem with that but she needed lots more training. You could really feel that she didn’t want to be there. Brough dishes just out of the dishwasher ( totally wet) and seemed clueless about putting down a wet glass. Restaurant usually has last minute Saturday night reservations, which isn’t always easy to find.

Decided to try this place over the many other Italian places in the area ( we have been to a couple) and We were pleasantly surprised by the food. The food portions are generous and the calamari is a must for an app. We will definitely come back.
