They have a separate vegan menu, and the gnocchi and apple cake we had from that were both delicious! I didn't eat much of the ice cream that came with it, but the cake itself was good. They also have seasonal mocktails, which was great to see. The lavender one was tasty! Good service, no complaints there. Great night out! read more

If you're looking for a great spot for an evening out in Dublin, give Mezzo a try! Located in Historic Dublin, the atmosphere here is perfect for a date night, a nice meal on the patio with friends, or a dinner with the whole family. The service is friendly & knowledgable & there are options for everyone! The combination of peppers with the calamari gives it the right amount of pop that keeps you going back for more! I really like the hearty flavor of the ragu and campanelle is such a fun noodle; the bolognese is fantastic! The salmon with maple glaze, Brussels and sweet potato purée is another perfect pairing, that makes this dish taste amazing! Be sure to stop by! read more

Came here for dinner. We walked in out of the freezing cold and it was warm. We were greeted right away and sat in the dining room area behind the bar. Our server greeted us right away and asked if we wanted anything to drink. He kept checking in on us throughout the email. The ambiance was very mellow with a candle at the table. We ordered the brussel sprouts and mussels. These were appetizers and they were HUGE portions. The brussel sprouts had a good crunch to them while soft in the inside. The maple and walnuts were a nice touch and texture to the dish. The mussels were big and all of them were open. It tasted fresh. The broth was delicious and tasted like it's been cooked for a while. The garlic bread was so tasty and good for soaking up the broth. I ordered the Parmesan eggplant. The spaghetti was ever so slightly over cooked, but still good. The sauce was more on the sweeter side and needed some more salt. The eggplant with parm was delicious. Had some crunch and softness to it. read more

Was extremely underwhelmed with my visit to Mezzo. The food is just... lacking. Lacking in portions, lacking in flavor, lacking in everything but price. The service was great, and the patio is nice, but the food was so severely overpriced and underwhelming. Definitely won't be returning since there are so many better Italian joints in Cbus. read more

I already knew it was going to be charming and whimsical. The upstairs patio with warm little lights was heavenly (subtle foreshadowing) To our sudden sadness and surprise I began to suspect we died when our server kept skipping us, for all the other tables. Denial. Surely we are next. Anger, and 30 mins in, Bargaining. "Hiiiiiiiiiiii we are ready to order?" Chills. And by 45 mins, we received our FREE BREAD. humbly. (Depression: We were never offered a cocktail menu) She was sweet, apologized for the wait and brought the appetizers and mains out together. As penance perhaps, though it messed with the timing of the meal. But what is the meaning of time? Were we outside the relative bounds of space time? The food standard Italian,hearty but a little greasy. It wasn't anything life changing which was fine since we were not alive. They did comp gelato for us and it was light and lovely. ironically my favorite thing we ate... Acceptance? It's a nice spot though overall. Maybe eat beforehand even read more

This is a nice restaurant and nice patio in the summer . I gave it an four . But I had dinner there with my daughter and a friend and I ordered the mussels. It came in a large portion which was good but there was hardly anything in them and a few that didn't open . I couldn't get a good taste of oysters as they were so small . The sauce was very good that you dipped your bread in . My daughter got the salmon and said it was alittle dry . Our server. Sierrra was great . Checked on us occasionally and was friendly. She did comp the oysters since I was dis appointed in them and we will be back since she was nice enough to do that read more

We needed an intimate meal after a long day. The patio was perfect. We enjoyed the nice evening and good food. Our server was attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the fried mushroom appetizer and had pasta & pizza as entrees. We indulged in an additional order of bread with a delicious garlic butter. I had a seasonal Rhinegiest beer that paired well with my pizza. I especially appreciate the (free) parking lot was very close and easily accessible. read more

We had a wonderful brunch and would recommend it to others. The service was friendly and very helpful.

Went here for my bf's mom's birthday. The food was great. Highly recommend the brussels appetizer!! The carbonara was very rich. The service was good, had to ask for drink refills and kept getting lemon in my tea even when asked for no lemon. Would eat here again read more

We arrived from out of town. Dublin is beautiful. It is too bad this restaurant had no etiquette. They sat us next to the door when it was 90 degrees outside. There were people going in and out of the door the entire time. Some even wanted to put their left over food down in our table so they could open the door. There are any number of tables available. I am disappointed! read more

Service was great! Staff was very friendly and attentive. I am sure to most people the food would have been fine. Here is my thought. I ordered the Lemon ravioli. I wanted a lemon flavor. I opened one of the ravioli to taste the ricotta and there was a lemon flavor, however the ravioli was covered in a pesto sauce which over whelmed the ravioli and any lemon flavor. I think a brown butter, with lemon sauce or a Beurre blanc with a bit of lemon would have been a better pairing. I did not enjoy my dinner because of the sauce. Then we ordered the house made gelato. After the first bite, I tasted the artificial strawberry syrup. Using fresh strawberries would have made dessert MUCH better. Ambiance was wonderful. read more

We loved our meals and cocktails! The outdoor seating was very nice and our waitress Taylor was so helpful! She went above and beyond to make sure our son ate safely. He has life threatening food allergies and she made sure he found something he could eat safely. They also have a vegan menu and our other son loved his vegan pizza. What a pleasant surprise! So happy to have found it! read more

From the bread and butter to the gnocchi, everything was amazing. Kelly was an amazing server. She answered all of our questions and made great suggestions. The inside of the restaurant is quiet with lights turned down, quiet music, candles, and very romantic. read more

Mezzo!!! I visited in 2019 and finally made it back tonight and it was just absolutely superb! Brian was our server and he is the BEST hands down. My group of 6 and I made it out to here to celebrate the birthday of a lovely friend. Making a reservation was easy and so was parking in the lot nearby. The restaurant itself is dimly lit and intimate. My only complaint is that it is insanely loud. But otherwise it is lovely. The food is fantastic. I went with the Orecchiette and it was perfect! I also had a glass of lovely red wine that paired nicely with the pasta. I have no complaints and will definitely be back soon!! read more

Were it not for the obvious shrinkflation, I may have given Mezzo 3 stars. But unfortunately, the mains and appetizer was clearly shrunk, and for $120+ with tip, I expect better. Here's the details: my lychee martini had no lychee; my daughter's pepperoni pizza came without pepperoni; an order of calamari was VERY light on calamari - very heavy on peppers (love peppers but come on it's frozen product, at least be generous); one diner's pasta was served on a tiny plate with like four shrimp; and my short rib was really closer to a beef stew texture, already broken into small pieces and not on the bone - for $28. Bright spots: the diner at our table who had pasta said it was absolutely delicious. And the service was attentive, friendly and went the extra mile. Service good. Food average. Prices too high for what it was. Next time, go to Moretti's! read more

I used to loveee this place and it has sadly gone downhill. The food is hit and miss. We started with the veggie pizza and it was pretty good as well as the complimentary bread. For dinner I got the chicken Caesar which was good and a side of the risotto which was so bland and not the right consistency. The people who got the short rib gnocchi enjoyed their meals but the rest did not (we had a carbonara, short rib risotto, and the shrimp). Our service was also not great, the waitress was rushing us and got upset when we tilted the umbrella so we weren't blinded by the sun. The manager was even rude moving the umbrella back and shutting the patio down and trying to move us inside, when the place was open for another hour after we left. The patio is nice and a pretty spot, so many grab and app and a drink, but don't waste your time on a full meal here. There are so many better options in Dublin, check out one of those read more

Came here for a date night during their Friday happy hour. We walked in and the place was packed! I would suggest making a reservation. The host did a great job trying to squeeze us in and get us seats at the bar. We did specifically come for happy hour so took full advantage of that. That in itself deserves 5 stars. It was national pizza day so we couldn't help but order both the pepperoni pizza and sausage and peppers pizza. We also got on of each of their apps. Lastly we ordered one bottle of red and one bottle of white wine. After all it was $12 happy hours bottles of wine! Everything was excellent! Our favorite was the sausage and pepper pizza. Though I also loved the truffle fries, it's usually not my thing, but these were great. The service was kind and attentive. We had such a good time and plan to go back soon to try a regular menu item. read more

Best Happy Hour around. Need to go back for more. Cant be it. Great service, nice looking place, great pizza, and decent cheaper wine. 10/10

I've eaten at Mezzo twice, both times food was just ok. Each time I thought it was a Mediterranean restaurant based on the name but it is not - it is Italian. Inside the restaurant has got that old people Italian restaurant vibe. Ate upstairs once and it had a gross fishy smell in the air. Second time dined in outdoor patio which was lovely ambiance. Beverages are fine, but the food doesn't deliver on the taste and experience of delicious Italian food you'd expect as described on the menu. Arancini is good starter. The Eggplant Parmesan is not good at all - the way I make it at home runs circles around this one for taste, texture. While there are some vegetarian options, the restaurant focuses more on the meat-side. If the food weren't so expensive, I might be more generous with the review - but no, everything is massively overpriced - for the pleasure of eating in the heart of downtown Dublin perhaps? Not worth the spend. read more

This place is so charming and cute in old Dublin along with an amazing HH!! I have met many friends here after work to split a $12 bottle of wine (during HH in/ at the bar) along with a super light and yummy flatbread type pizza. They have about 4 different options and can choose from and even substitute gluten free crust if need be!! Yay! I have had most of all their HH menu and everything is shareable and good. Especially for the price it can't be beat!! If you are looking for a great charming place to meet friends or go out for date night Mezzo would be a great option! Also lots of free 3-2hr parking in surface lots near and close by!! read more

Would not return. Pros: iced tea, bread and herb butter, arancini, salad dressing, aesthetically pleasing, beautiful patio Cons: no one at host stand greeted us (2 young ladies at the stand), not very handicapped friendly, bartender/server had no personality and I had to drag everything out of her (when I asked about the the special she said it's on the menu as if read it yourself lady rather than telling us about it), we ordered the special--the fried chicken was good but the pasta and sauce was UNDERWHELMING Mostly wouldn't return due to service. She was horrific, but she certainly wasn't great. Could have been a fan, but with this experience...not a fan. read more

This is a local favorite that we always insist on bringing out of town guests who come to visit. The inside is great, but when it is nice enough to sit on the patio it is such a treat. They have an amazing happy hour, with half off pizzas, great drink prices, and reduced price appetizers. Their wine selection is awesome, which I always appreciate in a good restaurant. The service is always awesome. I highly recommend trying this place. You won't be disappointed! read more

This was our first visit in many years but it was still as good as I remember. There is some available outdoor seating but it was full when we arrived. The inside is nicely decorated and there is plenty of bar space as well. They offer a nice wine selection and their cocktails are high quality, the espresso martini was delicious. We decided to split the Cesar salad, pepperoni pizza and pappardelle bolognese. We had 4 people in our party and it was plenty of food to share. Everything had great flavor and arrived at the table piping hot. read more

My husband and I were looking for something new and Mezzo did not disappoint!! We made a reservation. The atmosphere is laid back and relaxing with a certain style and warm. We sat in the bar area at a high top table and the place was busy. Our server was efficient, quick, and very nice! We didn't have to wait for anything. We split a Caesar salad and asparagus which were both very good. I had the veal Marsala and my husband had the pappardelle bolognese both excellent. Everything was perfectly made. Then for dessert we had the rocky road delight. Very good!! We will definitely be back! read more

Mezzo was a great place to stop with the family after the zoo. The vegan menu is amazing.

Food, service, ambiance, everything was 10/10! I ordered the arancini which was probably the best arancini I've ever had. Also ordered the veal meatballs and had 0 complaints, very tasty. For my entree I ordered the chicken Parmesan (photographed) (minus asparagus) and I ate it all which is rare for me. They also brought out bread with the best garlic butter ever. Also the berry sangria is fantastic. I'll be coming back so many times!! read more

I asked the bartender at the hotel where was a good Italian restaurant and he said without thinking, Mezzo! Just up the street. I'm originally from Columbus and the Italian food here is second to none. Mezzo did not disappoint! I had the chicken Mezzo with rigatoni rather than the spaghetti. I was by myself but the service was as good as I've had. Mezzo is a nice little restaurant on the corner in the middle of Dublin - it has a Cheers vibe which is nice. I finished the dinner with the tiramisu, which was made in house and very good. I'll try to come back next time I'm here. read more

This restaurant was really nice and great for everyone. I loved the ambience of the restaurant and enjoyed the music they were playing. I have went a couple times now for someone's birthday and another event I was invited to. It has an entire vegan and gluten free menu which is amazing and usually not offered by similar places like this. I am vegan, my sister is gluten free and other family members don't have any dietary restrictions so this was awesome for us to all get food we wanted. I tried the vegan garlic bread appetizer and it was delicious. I also had the vegan pasta bolognese and it was incredible and completely exceeded my expectations. I also had the vegan apple cake dessert which was also so tasty. On a different day I tried the vegan pizza. The vegan pizza definitely was not my favorite, it tasted dry and I just did not love it so I would not get that again but what I love about this restaurant is they have so many options on their vegan menu I can choose from a selection of options. I would definitely go here again and definitely recommend it especially if your group has different dietary restrictions. I also asked my sister what she thought and she loved the gluten free menu, and the rest of my family highly enjoyed their meals as well when we went. Also, I will say it is a nice restaurant so it was a bit pricey but I felt it was reasonable for the amount of food we were served and there are different options on the menu that are more affordable than others. I would go back if it's another nice event like a birthday or formal event. read more

Latest outing to Mezzo was a big success. The mussels were excellent -- the broth they came with had a serious kick to it but very good. For dinner I ordered the pork chop.

Lovely service, nice ambiance (although a little loud), and a good wine selection as well. read more

Celebrated a friend's birthday here. Our server Jocelyn was great. Super friendly had great input in helping us choose some items.  Appetizers- truffle bread, delicious and calamari, good could've been fried harder but the sauce and accompaniments were good! Drinks- 1 friend had the honey spiced old fashioned and the other had the bourbon drink. I had the holiday margarita  (essentially a cranberry marg). Sampled them All & they were great! Dinner- 2 Shrimp scampi risotto, they said it was okay about 3/5. One said the Arugula was overpowering and the other said cabbage threw off flavor. I had Gnocchi which was soooo good.  We also tried a side of potatoes and sourdough bread and butter. Super good,  bad was soft and potatoes were cooked and seasoned nicely.  Overall,  we'd recommend and definitely return. read more

I made reservations for my husband's birthday and we were so excited to see a charcuterie board on the menu but when it arrived we were shocked to find that this was it. The board cost $25 and this is all that was on it. I don't know if this is all they had but still wanted to sell it or if more things didn't make it on to the plate but we were shocked. $25 for 4 pieces of cheese, probably an 1/8th of an apple, 7 grapes. It was very lackluster. read more

I visited Mezzo for a group event. Maybe around two and a half dozen people or so. Also a bigger multi table group. These are folks some of whom I haven't had opportunities to break bread with in person for over two years. A special night for us after being separated for a hard couple of pandemic years. This is a restaurant that has a pretty good reputation for being a memorable dining experience, but I had never visited, so I was eager to check it out. Plenty of free parking in a surface lot and there is also parking in a garage at the public library nearby. Convenient. On entry I noticed a large comfortable bar area on the first floor. But our private group event was on the second floor so I immediately headed that direction up a wide staircase. At the second floor level is an open plan kitchen which made the line & prep area very visible. Transparency being what it is, this is a bold move for a restaurant and puts everything in front of the customer to see first hand - impressive. Individual tables were on this floor, but I continued to head toward the private dining room where our group was situated. Lots of wood accents abound throughout this well appointed dining space. It would probably be good for a rehearsal dinner, birthday, anniversary, or other parties. But tonight, the occasion was our group of civic minded people who are Freemasons. When we meet, we eat, and we try to make food memorable when we can - bonding through the method of dining together on social occasions has been a staple of our organization for hundreds of years. The food was well prepared, textures, flavors and aromas were wonderful - just enough to compliment each other without any one thing being overpowering. I've posted photos of the special multicourse menu for our event. Each person had the opportunity to select from a variety of dishes for each course. Which were delivered quickly & efficiently to the four eight person tables in our private dining area. Now, a word about that service. Just one word: EXCEPTIONAL! With some behind the scenes help, our entire party was skillfully handled by just one wait person! From taking the individual orders for each course, timely delivering all the food to all the correct positions at each table, taking and delivering individual drink orders at the cocktail hour prior to the dinner as well as during the dinner - all of it without a hitch! I've worked in the service industry, so I get what a challenge it can be with large parties. Our group was well served. A tremendously big thank you to Sierra for the care you extended to our group - you were friendly and had such a super attitude. Mezzo is outside my "bubble" but I'd return just for the opportunity to sit in your section. My food at Mezzo was tasty & my experience wonderful - I hope to return sometime soon! read more

We were placed at a little table shoved in a corner by the entrance, along the narrow main path into the restaurant. People were forced to squeeze past us (a repeated inconvenience) and we felt the freezing cold air every time the door opened. Waitress rarely checked on us - she clearly had favorites. Food was decent, big portions. Drinks were meh. Only thing that didn't make me totally regret coming was happy hour prices and decent food. Much better options to consider nearby. read more
