It's our favorite Italian restaurant on Long Island. Every time we go, we are treated like family. They will customize your choices or if you have a favorite Italian dish not on menu will try to accommodate. read more

I went to Mezza Luna with my daughter last night for a spur of the moment late night dinner. She had passed by the restaurant and it caught her eye, so we went. Now, I knew nothing about Mezza Luna, never heard of it or looked for reviews first, so I had no idea what the night would bring! We called from the car to make sure they were still serving dinner, the owner answered and told us he would have a table ready when we arrived. My first thought... impressive and a very nice man! We found the restaurant, pull into the parking lot, it was so full we literally got the last spot! My second thought....it's going to be an expensive night, but I was looking forward so I was prepared, it was pay day! LOL! The owner greeted us as we walked in, Mezza Luna is a classy, romantic restaurant with a warm, comfortable feel to it! I already had the feeling anything we ordered would be extremely well prepared and delicious, I was right! Friday evenings there is live music! A guy playing an acoustic guitar was set up in a nice spot when we walked in, very talented and played some great classic rock songs! Our table was perfect, could easily seat four people! Right away, glasses of ice water were served with a basket of fresh semolina bread! Our waiter, Fred, came over shortly after. I have to say the service is superb! He was very courteous and attentive throughout the evening! I can't even count how many times someone came to our table to fill our glass with water! The menu is very nice, you will without a doubt find any of your favorite dishes to choose from. Decisions, decisions, decisions...It was tough but I went with the Filet of Sole Francaise. My daughter chose a pasta dish. Fred read off the specials, all great choices, but I still ordered my favorite dish! However, beef barley soup was part of the specials so I ordered that. It was over the top delicious and a nice size serving! They don't skimp on anything, lots of beef with tiny pasta and vegetables. Even though finely chopped so no big pieces, there was a big taste of everything in each spoonful. I finished it all! The presentation was also beautiful and served piping hot! As everything on the menu is ala carte, your dish comes as is, so we didn't order any pasta or appetizers. It was a little pricey but believe me, it won't matter to you! The portions are big enough and a complimentary bowl of fresh mixed vegetables are served with your dinner. The francaise sauce was perfection and my fish was succulent, very fresh! My daughter enjoyed her pasta dish tremendously! There is always room for dessert, even though I felt like I couldn't eat another bite, I couldn't pass up dessert. My favorite was one of the choices (of course it was) but so were 3 or 4 others. They offer two kinds of tartufo which was a first for me! I went with the tiramisu! It was one of the best I ever had! It was so over the top delicious I finished it all!! Last nights dinner was one of the best I have had in a long time, even better than the Country House, where we went for Easter! This was just different, a very elegant experience. I highly recommend Mezza Luna. Especially if you have a SO, you must dine here! I will absolutely be back soon, not one negative about the evening I can think of, it was really a perfect night! read more

Celebrated my bachelorette dinner here. This place is fantastic! The atmosphere is very upscale yet they are not a pretentious place. Everyone my party encountered was hospitable and gracious. From the moment you walk in this place screams class and elegance. The design of the restaurant is so beautiful. All of the food was delicious! Flavorful, yet not overly salty one bit. I loved the atmosphere and the food. This place was a winner! read more

From the moment I called in for a reservation for nine people, the staff was friendly and accommodating. I came in a few minutes earlier on day of the event,to decorate the table.I interrupted a staff meeting which I felt bad about. But, they were so courteous ,and allowed told me to go right ahead and decorate. The food is top notch. I loved the stuffed mushrooms, calamari and crab meat. All were so fresh and I'm still thinking about how good each appetizer was. The rigatoni bolognese was pure perfection. I also tried my friend's marsala chicken ,and wow I was blown away. For dessert I got the rainbow cake ,and it was amazing. The staff were so friendly, and really made the night eventful. It was the perfect place to celebrate my best friend's bachelorette dinner party. I will absolutely return in heart beat. Loved every moment of our experience here. Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. I'm so glad we came here. read more

Had a party for 29 in their private room. The food and service was excellent. The room is tastefully decorated.

I had my daughter's bridal shower at Mezza Luna on May 31, 2026 and it was absolutely beautiful. I can't say enough good things about how it all turned out from the start from having dinner here to taste the food, and then booking my event with Fred, one of the owners, who was so sweet, friendly and accommodating to the service and food. The food was so amazing and the wait staff was incredible. They went above and beyond for me and my 3 daughters and the rest of the shower. When family and friends were leaving, they were complimenting the food and the service. On the way in, they were complimenting how beautiful the room was. I would recommend having your special occasion here at Mezza Luna or go to dinner or lunch here. You won't be disappointed! read more

Mezza Luna 5 stars I celebrated my birthday on 10/23 at Mezza Luna tonight. Let me tell you. This place is AMAZING! First off any restaurant that has linen napkins and linen tablecloths is right up my alley. If you're looking for really great Italian and really great service. Try this place. The waiters were very attentive. The food was fantastic. I love a place where the servers always check on you. And make sure your water glass is always full. Fred the manager/owner is a doll. He is very old school. I felt like I was family and not just a customer. I would highly recommend this place for all your special occasions. Date night or any kind of celebrations. I had escargot and asparagus wrapped in prosciutto and mozzarella breaded and fried. I had the filet mignon. It came with mashed potatoes and string beans with carrots. I had spaghetti carbonara authentic Roman style. And I had rainbow cookie cake for dessert. The drinks were fabulous and strong. Good thing I took an Uber to the restaurant LOL. I had to have a little bubbly with my dessert.Went for my birthday 10/23. Delicious food, drink and impeccable service. read more

Restaurant is nice, good food! Server on Tuesday at 3:15pm was asked if he should show us Lunch menu. He confirmed that dinner starts at 3pm. I've took his word to later confirm he overpriced us for tips. Hope it worked for him, not for restaurant review, though. read more

Back again to celebrate our Valentine's Day celebration. I absolutely love this place. Got the best seat in the whole place in a nice little corner with my husband. Service was excellent. Our waiter did a great job explaining the specials in detail and then even repeated just the name of the dish. We ended up going with all specials. We shared the heart shaped ravioli with shrimp. I got the halibut and my husband had the rib eye. All delicious dishes that made our evening very enjoyable. Will be back again! read more

My family comes here about 4x per year. We always ask for a specific table because it has become our "tradition /favorite". When we called to make the reservation and asked for that table we were told "no problem". We arrived with our if tiwn family guests and were told "sorry someone else reserved it a month ago". What?? Long story short we left after finishing our meal Ankur 90 mins later and there was a single elderly lady sitting at the table for 6. She had been there alone for 30 mins. ??? Maybe the cook's mother? Anyway...music was early '00 pop music...too loud and too cramped at the middle section we were placed . Don't these expensive ($90 pp) places get it? Ambiance is important. Play soft Italian music if you're a traditional Italian restaurant. Imagine a restaurant in little Italy playing anything other than Sinatra , Fran, etc. Very disappointing . Too many other choices available . read more

The bar is the kind of place that seems to have a lot of regulars. And they will bring you right into the fold. Katie, the bartender, is funny and entertaining. She keeps everyone smiling! The food is excellent. I recommend the capelli Mario which is made tableside. The smell alone is worth the experience. Other notable food dishes include the lobster crepe and Cesar salad. Overall, a standard Italian restaurant with a good vibe and good people. read more

You know a restaurant is good when I'm coming twice in one week. Tonight we had try out the dinner menu. Everything was amazing we started off with the tomato & mozzarella. Then we had the avocado crab cake which was nothing like we've ever had before. For dinner, we had the seafood pasta dish with a white sauce with lobster,shrimps, clams & mussels. For the fish lovers I would highly recommend this dish. The Veal piccata was tender & a great choice. The fresh Pappardelle with filet was also amazing. The desserts were the perfect ending to a awesome dinner. The menu is huge & everyone has something eat. Thanks again for delicious food & awesome waiters & staff. read more

Our server Ken was a class act. He tried his best to provide an excellent dining experience and succeeded.The entire wait staff provided excellent service. It's hard to find restaurants with this beautiful, European style of service. The food was excellent. We started with the stuffed mushrooms special and it was absolutely delicious.. I had shrimp Francese and my husband had pork osso bucco Both entrees were delicious. We highly recommend this restaurant. The service and food are both 5* As well as the ambiance. read more

Very nice restaurant to have a romantic dinner. They also do parties downstairs and they have a bar with televisions . We went on a Saturday night. I suggest making reservations. Exceptional service and the staff is thorough and kind. The lobster appetizer was delicious and my favorite. For 2 meals an appetizer and 2 glasses of wine the bill was about $130.00. read more

I actually really liked this place. Very nice and low key.. came a few times now and usually get a veal and pasta. We loved the capelli D'Angelo (crab meat over angel hair).. it was so nice and light, I'm not a huge pasta person but loved this! The veal on both occasions was a lil too salty for my liking but my gf loved it, I think it's all about preference here. Also, since they're medallions, they could have been cooked a bit less but it would not deter me from me coming back here. I love that they don't rush you in and out of here, bartender is super cute and chill.. it can get busy at the bar area and a lil loud but I don't mind... we typically dine at the bar for the vibe and it's a good one in here. Def recommend the carbonara as well but it needs to be piping hot! Also, I love that they will split your portion of pasta for you, it's just easier and less messy! I think this place would be great for a small event! I'll be back :) read more

Having recently dined at Steves Piccolo Bussola 3 in Hauppauge I was hoping Mezza Luna would be equally as fine dining...well...the shortcomings did not meet up to our expectations. Firstly, Ken our waiter was friendly and did a fine job taking care of us. When we sat down we asked specifically, due to their limited menu, if they could serve us Veal Parm, a standard, and they said yes..When the dishes came out it was their Veal Chop Parm, a $49 rendition. When queried we were told "thats our veal parm" by the female server...she became confrontational and told me I was "being rowdy"...Why would we ask specifically for Veal Parm if it was on the menu...we saw the Veal Chop and thats why we inquired...They took the plates off the table, cut the bone off and reserved it as Veal Parm... This took the lustre off the experience and convinced us we should have returned to Steves....Not worth the aggravation...I thought that the customer is always right! not here.... read more

Ordered a caprese for takeout during my lunch break. Overall the caprese was very good. Fresh mozarella & tomato and the balsamic glaze was nice too. But I have to give it 2 stars because I value sanitation over taste. The restaurant was clean on the inside , however, my bread (wrapped in tin foil) had 2 long thick brown hairs on it right when I opened it. Kind of grossed me out. Wound up not eating the bread unfortunately read more

It was okay. Instead of hard bread, bread sticks should have been put on the table. My soft shell crab was salty. Wanted lobster was told they did not have. But over heard on another table that it was offered to them. May give them a second chance. Understand it is under new management. Am use to the old ownership. On service. We had to many people asking us the same question. Again I will understand that they are revamping under new management. Still a ??? If I will go back. read more

I never write bad reviews but I'm making an exception. Burrata and Oyster apps not good but passable. All three main courses were just edible. In fact my linguini with clams did not taste fresh. The gnocchi tasted like it came out of a box. The crab and angel hair was only ok. Service and atmosphere were very nice but can't compensate for poor food. Sorry. read more

The food was amazing. Good size portions. Beautiful atmosphere. The service was great. Some dishes were prepared table side - what a nice touch ! Congratulations to Fred - he has outdone himself.

Food and service were outstanding. I had the pounded veal chop with salad. Very good portions. Highly recommend this place.

The food here is excellent! We came here twice to make sure the first time wasn't a fluke, and I have to say they didn't disappoint!

Wonderful service! The second you walk in the door you are made to feel like royalty (and we didn't have a reservation). Our water glasses never got empty and we drank a lot of water! The food was outstanding! It was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious! The desserts were out of this world. I have nothing bad to say about this place. I will definitely be going back. read more

I had my baby shower back in October '22 at Mezza Luna and Freddy went above and beyond for us! He has such a niche for party planning and really made the day so perfect for everyone. The food was absolutely amazing, my guests still rave about how much they loved it to this day. Freddy even went as far as to set up a mimosa bar for us and made sure the guests always had a delicious drink in hand. There is a private party space on the lower level which we had all to ourselves and Freddy helped us decorate. The staff was so wonderful and kind and made the experience so perfect. My husband and I still go there for dinner and drinks all the time! If you're looking for an intimate space for any kind of lunch/dinner party function or even just a night out for amazing food and wine, THIS is the place! read more

Our family held a Baby Shower in the beautiful, newly-renovated Mezza Luna Party room. Many thanks to Fred (owner) and to the entire service staff for helping to make our celebration a memorable success! From booking to menu planning and room set up, Fred was a pleasure to work with. He was always easy to reach, responsive, and attentive to all of our requests. He ensured that our shower went off without a hitch! We also greatly appreciated the opportunity to decorate the party room the afternoon before our event, and on the day of the food was delicious and plentiful, and the service friendly, considerate and reliable! We will surely return on many occasions for dinner, and also highly recommend Mezza Luna for festive party celebrations. Thank you Fred and staff! read more

I held my daughter's Baby Shower at this beautiful restaurant. From the minute I called to inquire about holding an event, to meeting with Fred (owner) at my convenience, viewing the event space and menu, was an extremely easy and unpressured experience.

Overall, Mezza Luna is wonderful in every way; professional but not stuffy and always welcoming. , read more

Having been to this location when it was Mario's we hoped to find nothing less than what it had been to us for the past 30 years. Mezza Luna opened at this location 3-1/2 months ago, taking over the old location of Mario's, and has done well to do so. The ambience of this cozy restaurant, along with the food and the excellent service made our night! Special shout out to Fred who made sure that the evening went well for us, as we were gathering as a group of 14 people. He set us up at an oval table, as requested, and laughed at my concerns that we may be noisy bunch. He only wanted us to enjoy his restaurant and that we did. Our waitstaff were very attentive and cordial. From the delicately prepared Dover sole to the bone-in tender veal chop, to the whole fish Branzino and the specially prepared Chilean sea bass ..... restaurant talking to you there was total satisfaction. We wish you success as you embark on this new venture and plan to be back really soon read more
