Always enjoyed the food... but you changed the sausage on your pizza and it's Not good. Hope you will go back to the original sausage or find a good replacement. Thanks. Bill read more

Beautiful restaurant! Free parking, nice staff and the menu isn't overwhelming. There is something here for everyone! Pizza, pasta, seafood and more. The prices are affordable and the portion size is large! You get so much food! We had pizza and it was soooo cheesy. Like the pizzas on tv. I had the salmon risotto and it was very creamy, filled with salmon and tasty! I'll return to try other items read more

The inside decor is nice, the staff is great, and for the most part, the food isn't bad. I can't put if I recommend it or not because it doesn't blow me away. Their pizzas, are really good. Fresh, cooked well, sauces are delicious. The lighting inside is very dark, talk about extreme mood lighting. Had pickup last night. A beautiful chicken caprese pie, loved it. Followed by a ham and mushroom calzone. So disappointing! Absolutely burnt, but that wasn't the bad part... it should be a sin in restaurants, to serve canned mushrooms! I looked on their website, a beautiful sausage and fresh mushroom pie picture... but then I get canned mushrooms in my calzone. With that much gooey cheese, you don't want that texture of canned mushrooms. It does NOT complement each other. Make sure to specify because, no, bad, no... please remove canned mushrooms from your storeroom. For the most part, they have also priced themselves out of the market. Calzone and Stromboli isn't that bad yet, for the price read more

Expensive. Food was okay. My chicken-farfalle pasta dish was a chef specialty. It was fine. But, at $21, that's a pricey bowl of pasta. My daughter had the chicken marsala, another popular dish on this menu, and it was also okay. Again, pretty pricey. We had the (half-price) appetizer, with hummus, dolmas and babaganoush. It was okay. I would have added more tahini into the dips for richness. This is mostly a lunchtime pizza and sandwich place, so I would say stick to that part of the menu. (My mistake was checking real quick on Google maps for a nearby eatery. I should have stuck with my ever-trustworthy YELP!) Service was very friendly and the food was quickly served hot and fresh. It was an hour before closing on a Saturday night, and we were the only customers there, even with half-price appetizers and half-price wine bottles. The ambiance of the place is quite nice. Low lights in the evening, and the decor goes along with the mediterrainian theme. read more

My go to meal is the tortellini . It is always seasoned well. I lived in Italy for a year and this dish would hold its own. Service was quick and accurate. I ordered for 8 people. Lunch rush but was still intimate and not too loud read more

Don't give up on places that have been solid for you in the past, is one of my top pieces of advice for anyone on Yelp. If they have a history of satisfying you, even if they have off nights, you ought to give them a try again in the future. I wanted to update this review and since I had a couple off experiences at this Mediterraneo, I have indeed since been back, and decided that overall I do like coming here. No matter any other measure, this is still my absolute favorite place that serves complimentary bread with their meals. The texture and taste continue to be one of the things that make me return, and honestly, don't we all just love good bread? The strange thing, is that they now charge a token amount (50 cents) for the spiced olive oil dip. While that is odd (never run into that before) i'm happy to hand it over for this staple. They do let you know about it when bread is requested. My most recent trip, I went for veal parm. Something I haven't had in awhile. This comes with pasta, but a salad is extra if you'd like one. Most around the table ordered chicken parm, and we had one gnocchi taker. It was apparently a parm kind of night! Everything was paced well, our server did a great job even though she was handling a lot of tables that particular evening. My veal parm in the end was pretty darn good, I have always liked their marinara here. I could cut it with a fork, and you could tell the veal was tenderized nicely before being breaded and fried. Most around the table also enjoyed their meals, so a success. We'll continue to visit this spot when the occasion presents. Pass the bread! read more

I don't know why it has taken me so long to write this review because this little gem impresses me every time I go there. I'm talking about Mediterraneo, located at the shopping center on Pisgah Church and N. Elm. I have sweet memories of this place including a wonderful lunch with Rabbi Fred and Nancy, a scrumptious dinner with my friend, Sally and a few meals by myself when that craving for marinara sauce became just too much for me to bear. But my most memorable experience at Mediterraneo was during the heart of COVID, when no one would dare step inside a restaurant. It was November 29th 2021 and I wanted Italian food for my birthday dinner. The kids wanted to satisfy my craving but how could that be possible unless we did take out? Then I remembered that Mediterraneo had outdoor seating, and even though it was the end of November and cold, it was not a particularly freezing night. So me and the kids bundled up and headed over to Mediterraneo to sit outside. It was almost December, but when Dad wants red sauce for his birthday, you better find it for him!! I'll never forget that meal. It felt so wonderful to have a little sense of normalcy for an hour, although I don't know what was normal about five people sitting outside the end of November for dinner LOL Although Mediterraneo is also known for some Middle Eastern dishes, I have only had their Italian food which I really enjoy. First off, nobody can compare to their dinner rolls. They are warm and delicious and always come with a nice oil-based dip alongside them. What I also love about this place is as long as you keep finishing the basket, they will continue to bring you more rolls. I had chicken parmesan with pasta, my favorite, and I remember the waiter being extremely courteous and appreciative of our visit during such a difficult time. We were freezing, but happy! I have been back to Mediterranean many, many times. Their prices are good, their portions are large and I really like their food. Their lunch specials are really well priced with a hearty portion and those same delicious rolls. I don't know how many people know about this place but it's a great restaurant to visit if you are in that part of town. I have never been disappointed. I would have to say it's one of my top three Italian restaurants in Greensboro, and being a boy who grew up in the Bronx around Italians and real Italian food, that's a compliment! Buon appetito!!! read more

Once again, I stopped at Mediterraneano for a caprese salad! I still vote this the best caprese salad in the triad. They serve theirs with balsamic vinegar, but I like mine with olive oil. Be sure they have fresh basil before you order it, otherwise you might get dried basil or oregano. It's just wonderful. Jacob, the manager, is just GREAT also! read more

For starters we came at an "off" time - between lunch and dinner. There were very few patrons and our waiter seemed to be manning the whole show. The service was exceptional and he was great with acknowledging and accommodating our toddler -- which is often amiss in restaurants. We ordered the hummus and wings - both were top tier! The hummus is the best hummus we've had from a restaurant in a long time. It's extra creamy -- so good! They were out of the lamb which hubby found disappointing. Nevertheless, he ordered the chicken shawarma which was reportedly not the best but "ok." Toddler loved her chicken Parmesan from the kid's menu and had enough to eat the next day - which she gobbled up both times. I had the fattoush salad with shrimp. It was ok, but it wasn't my favorite.. a bit overdressed and salty. Between the service and our appetizers, this place is deserving of the 4 stars! read more

The Seafood Meditarraneo is worth your money! Lots of calamari, clams, mussels and shrimp in one serving. Fresh bread came straight from the oven and was so tasty, we asked for more. I'm so full, but planning to try their cannoli next time! The place is very clean and our waitress was very attentive. Not crowded at all on a Thursday night. read more

What a nice surprise! We discovered this place by walking after had a meal in this complex. We went in a Saturday lunch and the service was super cozy and fast. We ordered the spinach pies that were super tasteful, the risotto Mediterranean and they like me to personalize my dish so I ordered the gnocchi with Alfredo sauce and bacon. OMG! It was amazing! I also loved the vibe and the playlist of the place. It was super friendly playing Christmas songs and everybody was super happy. read more

We love this restaurant, it's the only place I can eat good Mediterranean while my hubby gets the pasta he loves. He tries different dishes every time and that different then most places he orders the same thing every time. Food- the bread is AMAZING. Ask for bread! My hubby had gluten free chicken and spinach ravioli in a mushroom sauce, he isn't even gluten free‍ but he LOVED it! I had tabouli salad with feta and chicken( my absolute favorite!) A huge portion with enough for lunch tomorrow we had the spinach pies as a start and they were fantastic, full of spinach and lemon. These are such sweet people who really aim to please. It's back in a business complex but they have a pet friendly patio as well as plenty of indoor seating. Half price wine Saturday and Tuesday nights!!!! read more

We had guests in and decided to try them. We were so disappointed in general but myself in particular. Specifically : Very dark and uncomfortable seating. The wait staff was quite good and it was reasonably clean excluding the toilet. I'll just speak to my experience. I ordered a Kofta on pita with house side salad. The kofta was completely bland lacking any discernible cumin or cardamom. The Tzatziki was lacking dill as well as cucumber( at least that was noticeable. Having said that, I would like to mention that I'm a cook with over 30 years experience and have tasted many a bland dish. The "pita" was most likely a sandwich wrap or perhaps a flour Tortilla. All in all it's very unlikely that we'd return. It's a shame because it's an attractive spot in a good location with a nice traffic flow. read more

I love Mediterranean food! This place tops many! We started with the lebanese platter. This usually comes with hummus, grape leaves and baba ghanouj. They had run out of baba ghanouj they graciously substituted tabouli instead. The grape leaves are the best I have ever had! I could have eaten just that. The hummus was good and hand made. I really like the tabouli. Very fresh! The mozzarella sticks were...well it's mozzarella sticks. Honestly, the marinara sauce was what made the dish. Slightly over-fried because a few didn't have cheese in them. The bread appetizer that everyone gets was baked to perfection, and came with a dish of olive oil with red pepper flakes for dipping. Not spicy at all. Adds the perfect amount of flavor. For dinner, I ordered the lamb gyro. I asked for it as a platter because I didn't want too much pita. Lamb meat was tasty and not too salty which I love. The cucumber sauce is hand made and delectable. Portions are large so plan on sharing. My husband ordered the stromboli and it was huge! It was good especially with the marinara sauce. The portion size of the marinara sauce was too big. I feel this could have been smaller. The service was great and everything came out on time! They had half price wine glasses and bottles on Saturday night. The only constructive criticism I could offer besides the mozzarella sticks without cheese would be the frito chips as a side. It is fine as a side for lunch but not a dinner plate. I would make the lamb shawarma a platter and get rid of the chips as a side. Maybe just do pita with hummus as a side or salad. Either way I will definitely be back! read more

Hot bread was outstanding! Service was pleasant and quick. Large portion size with a salad included was a good value. Unfortunately the entree left a lot to be desired. Sauce on chicken piccata was thick, cloying and smothering. Loud rock music at 7:30 pm on a Thursday night seemed like the employees' choice ( singing along) and not conducive to conversation; unpleasant ambience. Found myself anxious to leave ASAP. read more

Great service, seems well managed and organized, fresh food and very efficient. I highly recommend this restaurant!

The food was okay. Wait staff was friendly upon greeting but it was a seat yourself situation with no sign saying so. Just a wait staff hollering from the kitchen across the foyer. That same waitress was our waitress. Didn't write our order down and took 15 mins to come back over to ask what the order was. It wasn't even that busy for a Saturday evening, there were three servers for a fairly small dining room. There really wasn't anything I'd come back for. I don't give 1-stars unless it was horrible. It wasn't horrible, just not good either. read more

This meal has been on my mind since I was there. I very much want to go back soon, as it was one of the best Italian meals I have had in the area in a while. It was a nice day out, so we were able to enjoy our meal celebrating my dad's birthday on their patio. I sadly don't remember our waiters name, but he was extremely personable and very attentive to us even if we were the only people outside. Now the food! First, the included bread is absolutely delicious! Soft, fluffy, and doughy in the perfect way. We demolished the first basket quickly and were delighted to keep receiving more. The oil and spices dip for it is also very tasty. We got two appetizers: Caprese (buffalo mozzarella cheese, slices tomatoes, fresh basil, oregano, and olive oil) and Fried Calamari (squid breaded and deep fried, served with homemade marinara sauce). Both were beautifully plated and so yummy. Their calamari were some of the best I have had in the area. Just lightly fried, nicely seasoned, and went great with their homemade marinara. Most of it was the rings, which I prefer to the tentacles. As this was my first time here, I decided to go for a classic dish for my entrée by selecting the Chicken Parmesan (chicken breast breaded and baked with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and Parmigiano cheese). I was so excited when my dish was sat in front of me. It looked beautiful and exactly as one pictures this dish should be. I couldn't wait to dive into this big old plate of pasta, sauce, and two chicken breasts. I absolutely had another meal to take home! Their chicken parm was perfection. All the elements were cooked just right but the homemade tomato sauce was the star. My husband got the Gnocchi Gorgonzola (potato dumplings with mushrooms, peas, and ham in a Gorgonzola sauce). The portion size was very generous, allowing for leftovers too. I got to try a couple bites and found the gnocchi well cooked and the gorgonzola sauce to be creamy and satisfying. The dish is a bit heavy for me, but hubby liked it. My dad got the Eggplant Rotini (Eggplant rolled with ricotta cheese, ham, and provolone cheese in tomato sauce). It was also a beautiful plate. This dish oddly did not come with any pasta, which we found a little weird as most others did and it was of similar cost. Dad decided to order a side of pasta and red sauce. I will say a "side" was a huge amount, but wish didn't have to pay extra just to get some pasta. Finally, my brother and his wife shared a large, customized pizza with pepperoni, jalapenos, garlic, sausage, and mushrooms on half. They both commented that the pizza crust was the perfect mix of soft and crunchy. There was also a TON of toppings, which I say is always a plus. I honestly wanted a slice but was too full! I will absolutely order a pizza creation of my own to try from here in the future! When it's my dad's birthday he always wants Italian food, and Mediterraneodid not disappoint him or any of us. I will be back soon! read more

Food was very tasty and served hot and server (Jacob) was very personable. I would eat here again.

I love Mediterraneo - I am particular about my red sauce and meatballs but there's is perfect to me! I was craving pasta and bread with olive oil and I pretty much got it but no olive oil. Normally I would call in and go pick up my order however after a long day I was feeling lazy and placed an order through door dash. On the menu it just said bread so I assumed it came with olive oil since it does at the restaurant but it didn't :( I was sad but it didn't say olive oil on the site so I guess it's my fault! read more

Excellent first experience at Mediterraneo! Even though it was brisk outside (we sat on their patio), the food and service was warm and inviting. We DESTROYED their bread. It is by far my favorite bread in any local Italian joint, and the server kept bringing it out hot and fresh, exactly when we needed it. Throughout our meal, our sever was very attentive and kind. I shared a pizza, which was fine in its own right. I will say, I was far more impressed with my family's entrée selections. The marina is so flavorful. I'll definitely be back to try some new dishes. read more

This is my go to place when I want a turkey sub and hot chips. That's just my thing enjoy!

I looked forward to the chicken Marsala. I regret to say it was the worst chicken Marsala i ever ate. The dish was bland. The chicken was not even dredged in flour and spices. The angel hair was barely warmed and completely without the delicious flavors normally associated with the marsala sauce. The chicken fettuccine was reported to be bland, as well. Our server, Jacob, was very attentive to our large group. Since it was a birthday party and very close in proximity to our birthday girl's residence I guess everything was worth the experience. The restaurant has a wonderful ambience. On the other hand, others in our group said the calamari was very good and cooked to perfection. The bread was delicious. The salads were fresh. read more

Mediocre food in a dumpy loud environment with clueless owners. There is a lot if good Mediterranean in GSO. This is not one

So perhaps my rating would've been different had I gone in the establishment, as my order was placed through Doordash. However, let me make one thing abundantly clear, in which I thoroughly believe we could all agree on, pasta with meat sauce means beef- BOLOGNESE. The way I got pasta with alfredo sauce, chicken and broccoli is honestly kinda concerning. But, I will say the caesar slaps and you can't get go wrong with their bread... I mean it's bread. If you were to make ANY changes regarding this, perhaps maybe idk, add a description regarding your dishes in Doordash. But honestly, meat sauce is beef, and the pasta you provided should be categorized as cream. PERIOD. Coming from someone whose father is a chef. With love! read more

I am a woman of my word... I was very upset when my friend decided to celebrate her birthday here hence my previous review I said I would never come back. We are human and we have bad days. But I went and I fell in LOVE!!!! The food was fresh, delicious, great proportions and beautiful. My server was attentive, and share a piece of his charming yet contagious personality. He made suggestions that were very considerate and thought two steps ahead. I enjoyed my meals and the wine I selected. I must come back for the bruschetta with the feta cheese!!! And the wine which is hard to find!!! And I can confirm quality when my nephew tried to drink the ranch smh. We are working on his manners lol but yes!!! I have changed my mind and glad to have the opportunity to make up for a bad experience! read more
