Actually I do have a few I don't care for so I just don't go. I'm just not a big complainer. I know other people like the places I don't and I never want to see any place struggle or close. It's so nice to have so many choices. There is something for everyone.
There are even a few restaurants that have been here awhile that I have never even been in. LOL

We went to there last night and didn't find the menu to be over the top in the number of selections. They are still on a soft opening per our server. We were seated immediately (as it turns out we beat the crowd) and the server was very good. I asked about her recommendation between the chicken marsala and the carbonara dish and she indicated that she preferred the carbonara herself, although the marsala was also good.

The restaurant was clean, as were the restrooms (ok, here comes the subjective part)

We tried the coconut shrimp appetizer which was pretty good and reasonably priced. I had a salad (typical salad but a good portion), which was the chicken marsala. My wife had a salad as her entrée which she thought was "good". I also had a glass of the house Chardonnay and with the happy hour price, it served it's purpose.

The chicken marsala was good (not great IMO), a little on the sweet side, and the angel hair pasta a tad over cooked for my taste. I did find the dish to be a tad bit over priced (it was $16 and probably should be in the $12-$13 range). The chicken was served as a single piece over top of the pasta with the marsala sauce on top.

Overall a good, not great experience. I am not sure that I got the value for my money. I would say give it a try and see if it aligns to your tastes and if so. enjoy!

Once all the whiners leave their reviews
This new restaurant will do just fine the ones with the most complaints are always the first inline. Perhaps CiC'S was all their dinner pallet would allow.

I agree with you but... never discount the value of a whiner. A whiner may lower a perspective customers expectations, but a higher level of satisfaction may occur because of it. :D

did I miss something..?? who was whining?

I didn't think anyone was whining. Just relating their experiences with the restaurant. Nothing wrong with that, in my opinion.

Finally went to Mezza Luna and had lunch today.
We really enjoyed it!
Good food and service, nice interior.
If you haven't gone try it.

Well I must say went to Mezza Luna last night to celebrate two Birthdays. Walked in seated promptly , waitress came dropped menus , took drink orders and came back promptly. Soup and salad were served quickly,three of us ordered Veal Parm. the 4th a Sea food dish. Meals came out hot, big portions even have some left for lunch today. The food was VERY good. Will definitely be returning. Hats off to them, keep up the good work. P.S. I do not work there and don't know the owner.

We like Mezza Luna. Glad you enjoyed it.

best place to eat in the Villages,period.

Skip, you know how it is when you review a restaurant on here. You may be required to prove that you are not the owner's brother-in-law! Can you get a signed disclosure from Mezza Luna?:1rotfl:

Are they still in a "soft opening?"

John

Until the first of the year. Longest "soft opening" I've heard of.

Hopefully it won't turn into a hard landing.........

Went there last night. Great meal and service for everyone in our party. The problem they have and hope they correct soon, when I started to sit down I noticed wet spots on my chair. I wiped them up, sat down and noticed something dripping on the table and me. We told the waitress and moved down to another table and all was fine. Might be AC problem in the ceiling. Fettuccine Carbonara, awesome.
