It was really dark in there, luckily they sat us next to one of the wall booths that had extra light so I borrowed their light to read the menu. The small print on the menu made reading the menu even more of a challenge.
My wife and I usually like to split an entrée, when we go to Bonefish, we split an entrée and a salad and the restaurant does all of it for us and serves the half entrée and half salad on separate plates. When we decided to split an entrée at Mezza Luna we were informed that there would be an $8.00 charge. No, I wouldn't object to a dollar or two charge because it had to be split and the extra dishes, but $8.00 insane. If you do decide you want to split, don't say anything, one of you order the dinner and one order only an appetizer, an appetizer can be purchased for less than the $8.00 split charge.
Why don't local Italian restaurants serve a variety of items? Where are the wonderful risotto's, gnocchi, osso buco, grilled fish?? If I want "red sauce" there are plenty of Italian restaurants to choose from and they won't charge me an $8.00 split fee!!

Well my two cents ...
a few weeks ago we tried ML ... I actually like the darker ambience but the food was ...sigh .. disappointing. Good portion sizes, and tasted ok but nothing special.
Most surprising ... the bread was stale ...actually not even tasty.
I may go back ... but probably not. Oh well ...
