Most restaurants serve a double portion. Before I would pay another $8, I would just order two dinners and get doggie bags at the beginning of a meal. Scape half of the dinner off your plate, and into the doggie bag, to have for another meal.

I would reheat the extra meal in a microwave, with a cup of water, as the food will come out moist and enjoyable.You still get the most bang, for your buck that way. IMHO

Fabulous! My wife and I and friend went to Mezza Luna last night. Arrived around 6 45 and only had a 10 minute wait before getting seated at one of the high-topped tables. Our attentive and enthusiastic server could not have been more helpful; she knew the menu and described and suggested entrees that we might like. The portions allowed us to take some home (more than enough to eat); the Italian bread was warm and crusty, and the Pasta Fagioli (soup) was creamy and delicious. My friend and I had a veal dish, while my wife had Mahi-mahi. We all enjoyed espresso and cheesecake (shared with 3 forks), and were last guests to leave the restaurant, around 9 45. Definitely one of the best restaurants in the area.

Just got back from the restaurant. Extremely poor service. We asked for the person in charge. The server talked to an older man in a tee shirt that seemed to be charge. He sent over a young kid who identified himself as THE MANAGER. He blamed a large group for the delay, even though we observed that some persons that arrived after us got their meal before us. He offered nothing to make up for the long delay. When the food did arrive, one was over cooked and the others cold. I had the cobb salad and it was the worst that I've seen---the lettuce was shredded like cole slaw. When we got the bill they charged us the dinner prices even though we were there and ordered before 3:00 (the cut-off for lunch). Again, we needed the manager to get it corrected. NEVER AGAIN

I thank you travelguy. We haven't been there but I know you to be a person whose opinion I trust. Your report made us want to go there sooner.


Sometimes I wonder if some posts that are so negative are from the competition....people who describe things they don't like are so entitled to their opinion and it IS helpful knowing of issues like waiting or lack of cleanliness or less than yummy food at our restaurants..


Most of the folks I have heard from or read on here seem to like the place. I will go with that and we will have to try it, once the birdies have flown.

We dined there a couple of days ago. Our server thought that she was doing us a favor in serving us. We ordered drinks and didn't see her for sometime. She finally walked by and we asked for another round of drinks. HWe finished these drink and she came by and started to clear our table. We had to inform her that we hadn't received our dinner yet. Twenty or so minutes later we had dinner which was warm not hot. This was our third time at the restaurant, will not return.

We've heard so many complaints about slow kitchen and poor service here, then to top it off, Paul is indignant to his customers and doesn't make things right.

This is a "recipe" for failure. Going down the same path as Luigino's and Havana CC.

Lets see which of the 3 goes belly up first. Any bets?

I'm betting that Mezza Luna will be successful. I've been there a few times, the food is fantastic, never had a problem with the service. As for "slow service" I don't want to rush in, shovel down dinner and rush out the door.

I consider this restaurant on a par with some of my favorites on LI and in the city. It's not fast food or a pizza joint ....RELAX and Mangia.

I like Mezza Luna because it seems to be an adult restaurant, not a "family restaurant"People aren't likely to take small noisy kids there. I've had great food and adequate service every time I've been there.

We had Pizza there on Sunday. Crust was very thin but flavor was good, we enjoyed it. Lighting was nice. We could read the menus and clearly prefer it a bit dim instead of bright lights. Beer at 3.50 a bit pricey. Didn't try a meal but will in the near future.
