    Sciue Sciue spaghetti
    Ruben R.

    We came to Palm Desert shopping for a birthday present,we decided to eat before starting to shop. We did not have a reservation but were at the business right at opening. We were seated right away by Ally who was also our server. I ordered the Sciue Scuie spaghetti and my wife had the veal piccata I ordered the Chianti and my wife had an iced tea. The food was simple but the quality was excellent. I would recommend them highly and I can't wait to go back in for dinner. The ambience was that of a classic Italian restaurant, unassuming and it felt homey.

    Please t patio dog friendly

    Mom, puppy and I had a very enjoyable evening here last night. We have never been here because it's sort of hidden. Yelp reviews were right about having an older crowd but the service was good and so were the prices for what you get. We got an ad in the desert Sun paper and decided to try it. After reading the reviews on Yelp I decided to order the spiciest dish because most people thought the food lacked flavor. I loved my pasta which had lots of flavor with the spicy sauce and sausage. Mom liked her raviolis well enough but would try something else next time. The bread they served with the olive oil could be better but all and all we enjoyed our meal and we will be back. Our server did say they close in June for summer.

    I made reservations for a party of eight and we were seated promptly. The whole place was packed, which was a good thing, but a little noisy. Our waiter was knew his name was Christian. But other staff servers came by and helped him and made sure everything was going smoothly, which it was. The prices for the meals were very reasonable and so were the prices for the wine. We had three bottles of wine, all red Italians. My ravioli radicchio was pretty good. It was stuffed with spinach and lots of cheese. Someone had eggplant Parmigiano, I also had caprice he and my husband had a wedge salad. I shared the caprese and the calamari. No desserts. We were too stuffed.

I had the Pappardelle con Porcini and my wife had the lasagna. It is not an exaggeration to say it ranked up with the best Italian dishes I have ever had. As I started to take my first bite, Elio popped out and asked me to put my fork down. To visually take in the meal and enjoy the total experience. Oh man, did that endear me to him and his passion. We are about to celebrate our 45th wedding anniversary, and this is our pick!

    From the first bite, the dish announced itself as exemplary--balanced, confident, and immediately…read moreshareable. It became the reference point of the table, discussed long after the plates were cleared. I entrusted Carlos (who I adore) with selecting my entrée, a decision made without hesitation. The staff is incredibly educated on each dish, and Carlos makes the most spectacular suggestion: the Beet Ravioli. His guidance always feels intuitive and assured, reflecting a dining room that understands intention as well as appetite. Service at Trattoria Mezzomondo is polished and professional, marked by genuine pride in the establishment. The staff engages effortlessly with both regulars and visitors, creating an atmosphere that is welcoming without sacrificing precision-- they treat you like family and, for me, the feel is mutual. Having watched this restaurant grow, it is remarkable how it has retained its core identity. Its commitment to authenticity--rooted in a reverence for craft and tradition--has sharpened my own expectations of cuisine, making neighboring establishments diminutive by contrast. The Chef demonstrates remarkable command across the menu--combustible genius. From the most restrained preparations to dessert, each plate is thoughtfully executed, with clarity of flavor and disciplined presentation. I travel often, Italy included, and yet Mezzo distinguishes itself not by imitation, but by authorship. This is the type of excellence that precludes replication. Each dish is shaped by the senses, seemingly satisfying a singular culinary vision. It's more than a meal, it's art. Why go here? Because they introduce you to something genuinely special: a new way to experience familiar flavors. Their take on traditional dishes blends the unexpected into a desperately welcomed harmony of ingredients. There is a clear distinction at work here, evident at every level of the dining experience. It would be unsurprising to see Mezzo recognized with a MICHELIN Star distinction soon.

I ordered the burrata bolognese and it was 10/10. One of my favorite dishes of the trip. My husband got the spaghetti with meatball which was great, but he wished it would have maybe ventured out.

Upon arrival, we were informed that happy hour is only available in the bar area, which we understood completely. However, the bar area exclusively features high-top tables, which my father is unable to use due to his disability. When I explained this and requested a low-top table as an accommodation, we were told that no alternative could be provided. I want to respectfully but firmly note that failing to provide accessible seating options for guests with disabilities is not only a gap in hospitality -- it may also raise concerns under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which requires places of public accommodation to make reasonable modifications for individuals with disabilities. I hope you will take this feedback seriously and make the necessary changes. We drove down the street to another establishment who gladly made the accommodations.
