It is $65.00 per person and includes a minimum of four 6 ounce glasses of wine. A different one per course!! We drank more than 4 glasses!!! It was a great time and food was fabulous!!!

Four glasses of wine at one meal would put me under the table. A couple after paying a tip would have about a $156.00 tab.

If the food is good and a good quality wine it could be worth it most restaurants pour more than 4oz. But if it's $9 wine than for us it would not be worth it..

We had a group of four last night...just dinner...not the wine dinner. Three of us found our meal unappetizing. I have been married for 54 years and have NVER seen my husband send a meal back...he sent it back last night. Sometimes a meal is bad but 3out of 4 is pretty bad odds. I doubt we will go there again.

Same type of experience for us also. Found the food mediocre and expensive. Won't be back.

I went only once, tried my usual standard lasagne, and found it very bland. I took it home and spiced it up. Maybe I just ordered the wrong thing, but if prefer the nice and spicy PenneAriabiata at Mezzaluna plus it is right in Colony

Unfortunately we had 6 of us go and 2 sent their meals back and I must say we were all underwhelmed. I did hear they made a few changes to the menu. We may try it again. We'll see. We have so many places we go and love that I'm not really concerned about it. If others like it, that's great !! I want everyone to do good !

That's funny because my husband had lasagne and he sent it back because it was sooooo salty he couldn't eat it. Each of us at the table and tasted the sauce and agreed that the salt overwhelmed everything and was just inedible

I have dined there many times. I thought it was ok. The pizza I had there was very good. The place is always full so they must be doing something right. If I received a bad meal ,I would take it up with the manager or owner.

$65 plus tax and tip for two comes to more than $160. This is a lot of money. Great food but they are pushing the price !

While it appears to be lot of money, my restaurant owner friends say that is pretty good value for a special four course wine dinner. I wouldn't want to do it every week, but every once in a while it would be fun.

My friends went and loved it. Said it was well worth the price. They are from Chicago and said it would've been a lot more there. The wine was a full pour at each course.

Too bad the person who came up with this idea was let go. Seems to be a hit. We were in the restaurant while this was going on and it looked like a lot of people attended. It was in the back room and closed off to the rest of the restaurant.
