    This gem in Pacific Grove, Monterey Peninsula, offers one of the best dining experiences on the peninsula. It serves some of the best Italian food, and the service is impeccable.

    BARGAIN! I find that most Italian restaurants are the "same old, same old". Good, decent, predictable, unremarkable, unmemorable. Not so with this one. Interesting menu with fresh and homemade pasta, novel sauces, house made mozzarella, house made gelato and sorbetto. You wont find these flavors anywhere else. Didn't have cocktails as wines by the glass were interesting and very well priced. If you're a spirits drinker there's a couple of Bourbon choices that are very hard to find. Service was efficient and professional. They were there when needed-none of this fake, too talky stuff. At a time when inflation is affecting restaurant prices severely , this business offers value across the menu. Definitely returning soon to try several other dishes.

    Mezzaluna is a great local restaurant that we frequent in most visits to the Monterey/Carmel area. The food is consistently good and the service is friendly, warm, and welcoming.

    I Dined at Mezza Luna on April 12th with some old friends and had a fantastic meal. The service was friendly, efficient and timely and the food was nothing short of delicious. I really loved our experience and found the family of brothers and sisters that work and manage this fine establishment to be fun, informative and caring. I give Mezza Luna and their workers my highest imaginable rating. Andrew K Russick Vice President, Sales & Marketing Pacific Coast Producers

    It was a special event for us, and everything was handled in a very special way by the entire staff. The Maitre'd {Freddie} and our waiter {Rafael} were really exceptional. They made our Dining experience something we won't ever forget. We recommend Mezzaluna to anyone looking for a special dining experience. Ed & Gloria

    Dining at Mezzaluna is ALWAYS a treat! I love bringing people here who have never been. You are instantly their hero. We were seated right away and service was fantastic. The Ravioli di Manzo, which is my favorite dish, did not disappoint. Everyone had a bite and raved about it. The Rigatoni alla Butera didn't last long enough for me to try it, but it looked delicious. We will definitely be back!
