Sette Mezzo Ristorante 6370 St. Rd 7 (Regency Lakes Village…read moreCenter) Coconut Creek Despite living less than 2 miles from Sette Mezzo, Wednesday night was my very first visit to the restaurant. They've been around about 9 years, and I've lived in Coconut Creek for 20 years, but somehow--I was barely aware that it existed. After reading a great review by Susan Stone last week, I made a reservation for Wednesday the 26th. When the day arrived, it was stormy with on and off rain showers, but because there is very easy parking in the Center, we found a spot steps from the door. The interior of the restaurant is attractive and there is a very compact bar in the back. I can see myself sitting there in the very near future (happy hours are 4-7 on weekdays). It was not particularly crowded and our server led us to a table on the edge of the main dining room. It was perfect and while I had read a few comments on Yelp that said it was too brightly lit, that was not the case when we were there. We started with the same cocktail that Susan Stone had, the Bello Giorno (vodka and Prosecco with a splash of cranberry, $12). It was light and refreshing and the very definition of an apéritif. I had checked the food menu online and both my husband and I THOUGHT that we knew what we wanted. So, I was more interested in the wine list, since I was certain about what I would order. But when Melinda, our charming server, came over to recite the copious number of specials, it changed everything. In addition to veal, beef and lobster specials, there was a crispy skin branzini, as well as a yellowtail snapper dish. She gave us some time to debate it (and, for me to look for an acceptable white wine since we were no longer ordering pasta). What did not change was the appetizer we had selected in advance. We shared an order of Cervelatta Sausage ($20), something we both love. Sette Mezzo's version was slightly charred and served on a bed on onions and peppers. It was excellent and authentic. I chose yellowtail snapper, and my husband had crispy skin branzini (both $42). The snapper was in a lemon butter sauce and served with spinach and potatoes. The branzini was crispy on one side and perfectly cooked on the other side. It was also accompanied by spinach and potatoes. One of the reasons we have never been to Sette Mezzo is because I rarely want Italian food. Don't get me wrong, I love Casa D'Angelo and Anthony's, and a few others, but as a cuisine, it's not my first choice. I generally want fish when I dine out and had I realized how well this restaurant can prepare fresh fish, we would have been here many years ago. We also shared a bottle of Italian Chardonnay, Scarpetta ($42), which was a perfect match for our fish because it was a refreshing, largely unoaked chardonnay from Friuli. We rarely order a full bottle at restaurants these days because there is often unspoken pressure to eat, pay and get out. I felt like unless it was a busy Saturday night, we'd never get the bum's rush at this establishment. We spent about 2 hours in the restaurant and our bill before tax and tip was $181. We paid cash, but I saw no notices about mandatory credit card fees or gratuities. Let me just stop right here and assure you that you do not need to spend $200 to dine at Sette Mezzo. I did not snap a photo of the restaurant's menu because it's readily available online and the prices are accurate. Many pastas are $20-$26 and the veal and chicken dishes are mostly about $25. I took photos of the wine list and both the cocktails and wine are priced fairly. I was originally torn between 2 Super Tuscans, but because we chose seafood, I was delighted to find the chardonnay. Without question people can dine well for far less than what we spent. It is my opinion that this is so much more than a neighborhood spot. Although, I am delighted it's in my neighborhood, the quality of the dishes, as well as their expertise with fresh fish, elevates the experience and makes it worth a bit of a drive. NOTE-this review is also posted in LESFL FB group.

They also changed the menu a month ago as we found out, but never bothered updating their menu on the website. Which forced us to walk in and order in person. Secondly, the food we received was lukewarm at best. We literally had to put it in the oven to heat it up. I ordered the lasagna Bolognese and there were absolutely no pasta layers to this lasagna. It was basically Bolognese sauce with melted cheese on top. And I don't mean too little pasta layers, I mean NONE, zero pasta layers. The other one was a pasta with a caramelized onion and braised beef and it also was at best lukewarm and lacked flavor. The appetizer we ordered, on the website, said that it was a mix of lightly breaded and fried seafood, including shrimp, calamari, smelts, and vegetables. Which we later found out that that menu item is no longer the same and does not include smelts. We did call the restaurant to ask if maybe we had misunderstood the menu, but we were told that the chef said he made the lasagna the exact same way as he always does and that they didn't know what to tell us because the manager was not there. We also brought up to the hostess that the images did not match the descriptions online to which she responded, she would let the manager know on Monday. Disappointed since they said they were under new management.

My only negative was I asked to take the leftover complimentary bread and olive oil home with my leftover lunch and they did not include the bread. I had even moved it from the bread basket to my plate on top of my sandwich so I can't imagine why they did not include it. The oil was included in a little decanter and all.

I ordered the Penne Vodka, and my boyfriend had the calamari pasta. Both dishes were excellent, but the Penne Vodka was definitely our favorite. The portions are generous--I was so full from the garlic bread that I couldn't even finish my pasta!

I remember looking up local places that had freshly made Italian way way back and this was one of the spots. What a joy to have homemade authentic Italian pasta nearby! Tonight we came in during the Labor Day holiday weekend on Sunday night with our toddler. Judging by the reviews I was on the fence about this being a date night or trying to bring the kiddo but I was feeling adventurous. We lucked out- no reservation; walked in with a toddler and it they sat us in one of the back rooms with a big party table- perfect. Bring on the large group who will be living it up family style and louder than us. A beautiful interior, with winding rooms to section off different areas. The front area more well lit, a mid section with the bar and the back room for a large party. Every space separated with rows of wine which they are very well versed in. That must be why they aren't just called 'Pasta...' The actually ended up being super toddler friendly but I wouldn't recommend to any ol' kids. It's intimate and very date night style restaurant- but they were more than accommodating. Our daughter got a high chair, a gold chalice for water and even a plate of homemade pasta with butter. The staff was very friendly to her and everyone said 'ciao bella' which she loved. On to the adults, my husband and I got cocktails- both of them were outstanding- my husband got an old fashioned and I got a gin drink with rosemary infused gin with a bubble on top. It was beautiful. They were so delicious. My dish was the Pappardelle al Sugo di Cinghiale. Pasta with wild boar sauce, outstanding- perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. Meat just fell apart. The kiddo also loved it.

Burrata was fresh. $19 Ravioli di porcini alla crema tartufata -Porcini mushrooms, creamy Truffle Sauce. Tasted nice but such a small portion. $35 Veal cotoletta milanesa - Veal Shank classic ''milanese'' style, Saffron Risotto. Apparently. Taste nice and fresh, but again a small portion. $56 Honestly, I'd rate this place a 3.5 because of the high prices and small portions. The chef is good, food is fresh, that's the only reason I'm being generous and rounding up to 4. I probably wouldn't come back. I've given them two shots and felt the same way both times. If you're close by and want a nice atmosphere and aren't very hungry, I'd swing by.

They offer plenty of lunch specials, but I was here for only one task, to try the NY style pizza. The ambiance was perfect for a pizzeria with the intent to display a nostalgic NY theme. The oversized pizza slice was at a very reasonable three bucks. Lifted the firm "No Flop" slice to my awaiting mouth, thankful that oil from the cheese was not dripping down my hand. So happy hearing that crunch from the thin lightly charred undercarriage. Pleased with the zesty garlic sauce covered lightly by the cheese. The cornicione did not have charred air bubbles, but had an honorable crunch. The gender assigned bathroom was clean with black painted cement flooring complemented by a poster of the original 1972 Godfather's movie starring Marlon Brando and Al Pachino - now it was evident that this was a legit old school Italian pizzeria.

The soup I ordered took forever to come out (did not take a photo). As we were waiting for our food, two tables surrounding us sent their food back so that worried us. As a result of that, it felt like it took longer than usual to get our meals since I'm sure the kitchen was scrambling to re-fire the meals sent back. My boyfriend ordered the lamb special and I went with the rigatoni alla bolognese. He enjoyed the lamb, but I was not impressed with the pasta. It wasn't horrible, but the pasta did not taste homemade or worth the money. Server seemed bored and uninterested. Did not offer to make any recommendations, but did give us free dessert of our choice for my boyfriend's birthday, so that was nice.
