I am absolutely flabbergasted that I haven't written a review for Mezza Luna yet! This has been a birthday tradition for a few years now! My birthday~ I love a great Italian restaurant! Location is wonderful, just a block off the ocean, I always get in a beach stroll when I dine here! I love the live music they have. The bar is wonderful, intimate feeling. The woodfire pizza oven smells delicious, even though I probably will never order a pizza here. I have indulged in their sea scallops, filet and fresh catch, daily special of snapper! I have had numerous cocktails over the years- cherry smash continues to be a favorite. The calamari is always cooked perfectly. The plates are always top notch ingredients and balanced, delightful flavors- beautifully presented. We made it all the way to dessert this time and the seasonal creme brulee was perfectly scrumptious! Service has always been on point too- I swear I could kiss the chef I love eating here so much! read more

Great ambience with live music. Can get loud. Parking can be tricky but has complimentary valet parking. Complimentary bread with olive oil was good but small portion (one per person). Great cocktails. Cacio e pepe is delicious. Calamari was not too salty. Disappointed by the tiramisu. Comes in a cup as a deconstructed version. The ratio of ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, and espresso seemed off. read more

I have been going to Mezza Luna @ Neptune beach, Fl.,for over 15 years . I normally dine there during the week since they have live music, Sun- Thurs.,but I chose to go last night on a Saturday. The service was prompt and welcoming. I typically have their Lasagna a must have although I chose to go with the Lollipop Lamb chops. They were okay. The dinner rolls which are complimentary and Crispy Brussel sprouts of which I highly recommend made my meal complete. The Bread Pudding with bourbon caramel is a must try to complete your meal. read more

The ambiance and restaurant itself is really nice, great to bring guests or for a special occasion. The food itself was decent. We liked the papardelle more than we liked the other pasta we ordered. I would probably try a seafood entree instead of pasta next time. read more

Great service .All good staff stimulate, courteous and not a long weight end of the day. Yes, extremely good service nice restaurant ...

This restaurant is lovely with incredible service! The pasta is perfectly al dente. They decorate the table for your celebration/event and make sure to congratulate you, which is so sweet of them! We were seated by the back entrance with the windows open, which, for 9 months out of the year, is an awful idea. Besides that, it was an amazing experience and we will definitely return! read more

I didn't think Mezza Luna could get any better, but tonight outdid what we had last time! We brought an 8 people group and everyone raved at how good their meal was! The lasagna and the pizza was to die for! I would come back just for a pizza and a bottle of wine. will 100% be back soon! read more

We had a wonderful dinner at Mezza Luna! The food was absolutely delicious -- I ordered the steak, which was slightly overcooked, but I didn't send it back because it was still full of flavor and paired beautifully with the sides. My husband had the duck and really enjoyed it; cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. We started with the burrata appetizer, and it was so good we completely forgot to take pictures -- we devoured every bite! We also shared a bottle of wine and ended the night with the cheesecake crème brûlée, which was the perfect sweet finish. The staff was friendly and welcoming. We were seated within 5 minutes even without a reservation, and chose to sit outside. The breeze kept us cool, and the music from inside added a nice ambiance to the whole evening. Highly recommend for a relaxed and flavorful night out! read more

We have always loved Mezza. Its a nice ambiance for an upscale dining experience at beaches. We had the best server, Georgia, who took such good care of our group of 6 friends. The food is consistently good, with hot food served hot and cold food cold. Parking is limited so just use the friendly valet folks! read more

We started with an appetizer, gordal olives and almonds, $6. For dinner I had the fettuccine and chicken, great at $31. My wife had pan seared salmon, $35. Cordial staff and very clean seating area.

We've enjoyed the good,service, & ambiance. We live a few blocks away & take our friends & family there when they're in town.

We sat in the bar area, so it was quite loud, but to be expected in a bustling bar. The service was great. Bread - so good. We had the meatball appetizer, pappardelle, and scallops. Everything was really good, but my scallops had a perfect sear on them that delivered a crunch I crave when eating seared scallops. The risotto was a perfect texture and the corn in the dish added the perfect amount of sweetness! www.serenitynowtravel.info read more

I have been to this restaurant twice and both times have been a great experience. Their short rib pappardelle was incredible as is their pizza. Service was great on both occasions. They have both an intimate dining area and a more relaxed bar depending on the experience you are looking for. Highly recommended. read more

What an awesome place! Free valet once you get your ticket validated, which was rather convenient for this AB location. The vibe was great, with live music. We sat in the back of the restaurant and tried the burrata, and then I had the swordfish special which was delicious. Looking forward to coming back and trying out some of the more Italian inspired dishes. Service was reasonable although our waitress seemed a bit overwhelmed. She was very friendly at least! read more

What a beautiful restaurant! The ambience really makes this place. The live music was really great and not so loud that you couldn't talk. Our food was exceptional and the portions were fair for the price. The short rib pasta dish (Fresh Pappardelle) was outstanding. The lasagna was a big hit too, and we loved the risotto that was served with the scallops. Definitely recommend the Brussels sprout appetizer. The server we had in the bar for our after dinner drinks was excellent. Our dinner server was efficient and everything was accurate but after learning the pasta special was out when we were ordering, I had asked if another entree could be made without spinach. She said she didn't think so but didn't offer up other suggestions. So I ended up quickly going with my third choice meal so everyone else didn't have to wait. It ended up being delicious so I wasn't disappointed. It would have been helpful to know what they were out of sooner or what could be modified for allergies. We did appreciate her ability to split up our checks. read more

I was never able to try Mezza Luna when living in Jax but gave it a shot when I returned to visit and I'm so glad I did! We were a large party without a reservation but the host managed to get us seated after just a couple minutes. The place was very cute with dimmed lights. Our server got to us right away and came back with drinks not long after as well. For appetizers, we went for the Mussels, polpette and some truffle fries. Mussels could have used some salt but aside from that, everything tasted great with lots of seasoning. For the entree, I did the fetuccini Alfredo with Shrimp. What I loved about this dish was the unique flavor the peppers gave it. Shrimp was cooked to perfection and went really well with the red pepper Alfredo sauce. We were too full to even order dessert even though I wish I did. I must point out, this place is really into detail and has little sections on the menu that point out to vegan/vegetarian and even no garlic options so there is something for everyone. Will be returning on my next visit to Jax! read more

We had a fantastic dining experience at Sliders! The special--seared snapper served with corn salsa, creamy mashed potatoes, and a vibrant cilantro pesto. It was absolutely delicious. You could taste how fresh and well balanced everything was. My husband ordered the same dish and loved it just as much. We ended the meal with a Bananas Foster cheesecake that was truly spot on. You could actually see and taste the banana folded into the cheesecake. It was rich, flavorful, and the perfect sweet ending. The service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The ambiance is relaxed and coastal, like a calm day by the sea. We'll definitely be back! read more

I really wanted to try a couple of the pasta dishes but at the recommendation of others I had the Tre Carne pizza and I am so glad I did. I believe that is the best pizza I've ever had, and as my family comes from Jersey I can say I've had some great pizza! read more

Rude service. Liked this spot initially, it's pretty and the food is okay. Had a nice dinner with my family but as we were paying the bill the waitress told us that there was another reservation for our table in 15 minutes. It was so weird and off putting. We're waiting for the waitress to run our card so we can leave and she's telling us that we need to leave so she can prep for her next guest?! We dined a normal amount of time and the kitchen took forever, so off putting. read more

Whoa!! Was the food good? Yes.. was it timed and staged absolutely NOT! We were seated at 5:30 given water and 10 minutes later our server reappeared. We ordered drinks, appetizer, salad and entree. They were out of a ghost pepper tequila and so I reordered. Drinks came, salad came appetizer came and while eating the appetizer our entree came. What the hell? $180.00 tab and we were out by 6:27! That's all. Picture of the entree only because it sat the longest on our table waiting for us to finish our mussel appetizer. Certainly will not make my rotation! read more

This place delivered every expectation; great food, excellent selection of plates and good prices. I went for the Pappaderlle with short ribs and it was very good. I also tried the duck and it was very good. The service was good, but I got the impression that they were short staffed. Try to pick an inside table if you go during the summer. There's ample parking and they have valet on the back. Enjoy read more

Delicious dinner at Mezza Luna to celebrate my boyfriend's birthday. We started with the beef tartare, mussels, and truffle fries. All of which were delicious, but choose the mussels if you can only have one. For my entree, I had the Pan Seared Diver Scallops which were served over a corn and Parmesan risotto, which I loved. My boyfriend had the Spinach Raditore, which wasn't his favorite but may have been because he asked for no cheese on the dish when it comes with it. Dinner at Mezza never disappoints. read more

Extremely disappointed! If you're in a wheelchair in a it's difficult to navigate the bar Area. The wooden floor present another challenge. The service was lacking Leaving empty cocktail glasses on the table is not . Great service. My dinner was lasagna it was disappointing salty , watery and two different types of tomato sauce on the plate. read more

The fish was very dry and our service was horrible ! We had to ask for silverware and other items ! Never came back to check on us ! Would not recommend read more

Stopped by for a drink and quick bite with my friend at the bar. The Cacio e Pepe was as good as I remembered. This was my first time getting an espresso martini here and I'm impressed! Not super watered down, used actual espresso/coffee instead of just coffee liqueur. read more

My first time at Mezza and did not disappoint. Love this place. The chicken Alfredo and the short ribs plates were both yummy. The fried calamari is the best in Jax. My old fashion was also perfect.

Just had a pizza at Mezza Luna and was listening to Instagram reels. NO ONE anywhere near me! The hostess, Beth Ann rudely asked me to cut the volume down. There was NO ONE anywhere near me. Music was playing, people talking at the bar. my server Casey immediately started saying how much she loved working there. suck up. The Italian restaurant down from the old Ragtime, Salumeria has much better food and their staff is amazing. Second time Mezza Luna has been unfriendly. Cheers to Salumeria!! read more

Already planning my next trip back here!! I made a reservation for a Saturday night at 7:00, I am not sure if they do walk-ins, but the option to make a reservation was there so I wanted to be on the safe side. We arrived 15 minutes early and were immediately sat. We were brought some yummy bread to eat with our bottle of wine. (Huge list of wines to choose from BTW) For our starter we got mussels in a white wine sauce - yum! For main dishes, we got clam linguini (it was ok - I'd personally probably go for something else. 7.9/10) and the short rib pappardelle which was SO good. 10/10! We were too full to get dessert but the options all looked delicious and they had a good selection. This place had a great vibe for date night or for a small group, it was quiet but nice. Service was great and our server answered all of our questions we had about the menu! read more

We are New York pizza snobs. While this is not New York style, it is really delicious. Very thin and flavorful. It was the first time I got a Mezza salad. I changed up the mixed greens for Romaine lettuce with no problem. It was great. Our server, Kristin, was very attentive and friendly. The whole staff greeted us on our way in and on the way out. We sat out on a covered patio, but there is also a more formal dining room and bar area as well. read more

AMBIANCE / SERVICE: Mezza Luna was decorated very nicely and gave a romantic vibe as my husband and I sat by the window. There's lots of tables inside and outside, but given the delicious food, I'd recommend making a reservation on a busy night. Martha, our server, was very attentive and gave great recommendations. FOOD: I ordered the French Pear while my husband ordered the Ghost Berry Margarita. I thought my French Pear was very tasty. However, my husband's Ghost Berry Margarita was the drink on top for the night. Martha even gave my husband a recommendation of putting Tajin on the rim instead of sugar, which was a great recommendation. For appetizers, we ordered the Buratta and Crispy Brussels Sprouts. Both dishes were amazing. I couldn't get enough of the Crispy Brussels Sprouts and honestly could have requested more of those. For our main dishes, we ordered the Crispy Duck Leg, which came with bread pudding, and a balsamic reduction. Then, we got the Fresh Fettuccine with Chicken. All of their pastas are made fresh and you could definitely tell with my pasta dish. I'd have to say this is one of the best fettuccine dishes I've tasted in a while. For dessert, we ordered Tiramisu. I think this dish was a little too salty and definitely needed the strawberries to sweeten it up. Martha had recommended we go with the bread pudding as it was her favorite, but I couldn't resist trying the tiramisu as that's one of my favorite desserts in general. Overall, Mezza Luna was a fantastic date night spot and we will definitely be going back! read more

Good place to make an impression. Be sure to make a reservation or be ready to wait your turn. Options to enjoy a variety of seating venues with different vibes. Can be seated inside, outside, or hang out at the bar. Food was cooked just right and flavors were on point. I forgot my credit card, went back a couple days later and they had saved it. They asked to check my ID before returning it to me so they earned trust points there. Thank you Mezza Luna Team! read more

Mezza is def on my top 5 restaurants in Jax. Always consistent with service and food. Had the pan fried fish with sage butter--sooo yum. The fish was moist and cooked to perfection, pasta al dente, and that sage butter sauce----oooooof. We had a number of apps, desserts and cocktails--no pics but I can tell you they were equally as good. Put Mezza on your list! read more

Reservations with a large party, we were seated in quiet dining area. The other side with the bar is a be very different vibe. We were thrilled to be seated here as we were family in town for a wedding, and wanted a quiet area so we could catch up. The food and the service were outstanding! Excellent Italian cuisine. Drinks were delicious and well crafted. If I'm ever in area again will definitely return to dine here. The food was that good! I'm from NY so I'm very particular about good Italian food. You will not be disappointed here. We had a variety of appetizers and meals, that everyone was pleased with. read more

The ambience was phenomenal; was like being in Italy, think lady and the tramp when they are kissing with the spaghetti! Food was hearty and satisfying reminding me of my Nona's cooking back in the hills of Tuscany overlooking the small painted rock in the middle of the town square. While we were there we tried the fettuccine, the pappardelle, meatballs, truffle fries and gnocchi. We ended with an exquisite dessert of tiramisu. It reminded me of first time I ever saw a full eclipse; a once every seven year sensational feeling that I've been chasing ever since. I fell for with the waitress (figuratively), she had a great attitude behind those stylish glasses. Hope to visit again but if not I'll leave this world a happier man than I ever could've imagined read more
