    Food was delicious. Service was wonderful. Quiet music. Dim lighting. This is certainly a great date spot. I was really excited to get my carbonara. I was actually split between that and the vodka sauce. The carbonara had huge pieces of shrimp too. As well my sprite got refilled on the spot. Mom has lasagna and Dad chicken with vegetables. Would love to eat here again.

    Very nice restaurant I would highly recommend it to my friends and family. The taste of Italy right here in Dunnellon Ocala area. I'd bring my whole family. The service is impeccable and the food is delicious. Enjoy

    So, we have heard about the calamari.... So fresh, and the dipping marinara, AMAZING! We were immediately greeted at the door, everyone was super friendly. The seafood risotto is where it is at, a must try! The chicken parm surpassed the norm. Even the kid's chicken was amazing! We will definitely be back! It was also nice to see they were able to accommodate a large family party and still excel at their service. BTW awesome wine pours, the house Chianti is great!

    Love this place food and service great nice for talking with people the lamb was perfect

    We were a party of three and we had the Fettuccine Alfredo, Chicken Masala,and Spaghetti Carbonara with Shrimp. Every dish was fantastic and generous portion. Food was hot and well seasoned. The shrimp was tender & not overcooked..From the moment it was a lovely evening as staff were welcoming and attentive. We were full, but the desserts tempted us and we caved. Cannoli and crème brûlée. They make an excel cannoli!!!! Too often they don't use ricotta or they don't whip it correctly, but not here! Delicious as was the brûlée. We will be back & grateful to the friend who recommended it!

    Do they have outside seating?

    Unfortunately they don't. But the food worth the visit.

    From the moment we walked in, this place made our anniversary feel truly special. The staff didn't…read morejust acknowledge it--they celebrated it. From thoughtful touches to genuine kindness, every detail showed that they actually cared about the experience we were having, not just the meal. The service was warm, attentive, and never overbearing. We felt welcomed, appreciated, and honestly spoiled in the best way. It's rare to find a restaurant that goes out of its way to create a moment, but this team absolutely did. The food was fantastic, the atmosphere was perfect for a special occasion, and the extra effort they made turned a nice dinner into a memory we'll always remember. If you're celebrating something important--or just want to feel taken care of--this is the place. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for making our anniversary unforgettable.

    Anticipating a busy Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday, my wife and I decided to "observe"…read moreValentine's the day prior with an early dinner at Mesa de Notte. We made a reservation for 3 PM but when we arrived, it didn't look like a reservation was needed since there were a few empty tables. Our server presented us their menu, with a Valentine's Day special menu insert. We already checked out their menu online so we pretty much knew what we wanted to order. We started with the Calamari Fritto ($17). Reading how their Maiale Osso Buco ($32) is their standout menu item, that's what I ordered. My wife was going to order off the regular menu but pivoted to the Ravioli di Aragosta ($35) upon seeing the special menu. We were served freshly baked rolls topped with toasted garlic and accompanied by an olive oil dipping sauce. That was yummy. The calamari was well prepared, flavorful, tender and not rubbery. My wife liked her ravioli, commenting how the pasta was perfectly cooked. It was accompanied by 5 pieces of large shrimp. My dish lived up to the billing as their best dish! One of the wait staff even commented how it's the best dish on the menu. Tender and juicy meat accompanied by creamy, well seasoned risotto. The portions were also quite generous that I had to take some leftovers home. Oh yeah, like any good restaurant, the wait staff puts your leftovers in a container instead of diners having to do so themselves. Always appreciated! Service was on point and the ambience was equally nice...although located along Silver Springs Blvd/Hwy 40, traffic noise can be heard inside. Dinner for 2 came out to just under $120 with tip. We'll be back.
