Delicious meal and Italian wine. I had the prosciutto salad and the linguine with chicken. My husband had the steak tartare and the walleye. We split the chocolate cake dessert. We really enjoyed the dinner here and the service was great. I would recommend to anyone. read more

We had a great experience here on a Friday night. Had to wait a few minutes for our table so sat at the bar for drinks. Friendly bartender made a great Moscow Mule. After we were seated for dinner, we ordered the grilled octopus, shrimp and shared a margherita pizza along with some red wine. All were excellent. Service was friendly and competent. Lively atmosphere. Would definitely come back. read more

This place is amazing. I was recently here and started with the bread and butter. What is in the butter. Oh my god. Delicious. The bread was incredible. We also got the bruschetta which was not traditional but amazing. I had the risotto and honestly dream about it. Not your usual take on risotto. Everyone else had pizza and they loved it. It was a great meal. Our server was a darling! read more

Wow! the reviews are correct on this place. In town for conference and found this on Yelp. So glad we did! Chef's Selection plate to start was fantastic... local cheese mixed with meat butchered and cured on site. Amazing. Cocktails were very good though a bit pricey. All three entres ordered were top notch. We had the fish of the day (salmon), the pork chop and the Genevese pasta dish. All were fantastic. Waitstaff did a great job as well. Will be back again the next time I'm in town! read more

We visited the restaurant this past Friday and the food and service were so excellent that we decided to return today Sunday during our short visit to Pittsburgh. Tonight we were greeted by Aisha who remembered us and welcomed us back. Our server Keith was professional and gave great menu and drink advice and the GM Blaze came to see that we were satisfied with our meal. Food was excellent, drinks were great, attention was exceptional without being oppressive, space is well designed and inviting- i hope we can return in nicer weather, all aspects of service were outstanding. Over the two days we had the octopus and beef tartare (twice), the meat and cheese board, sausage fennel pizza and the shrimp diavolo. read more

Amazing is not enough. The drinks were amazing very well done Manhattan. Me and my friend went down the drink menu they were all fantastic. Favorite was the orange Julius Cesar. The meat and local cheese plate were amazing choices. The octopi pizza was amazing. The flavored on that were insane between the olives and octopus and squid was amazing. read more

I visited Mezzo for the first time before the Pirate game. A very disappointing experience. I ordered a brisket panini and it was 60% fat. When I showed this to our waiter he had no response. He charged us for it and had no comment or apology. I would never have thought a restaurant as pretentious as Mezzo would let this slide. We had 7 people at our table who won't be going back. read more

This is surprising nice. Great food, large menu, food allergy friendly, fair prices, and exceptional service. However, this restaurant is very large and is not a place for a low-key quiet meal. But that said, it is a nice option for a pre-show dinner. read more

My partner and I went here before going to our first ballet. Our server 'Ton' was passionate kind and well versed on the entire menu he made our experience a great one and everything we had was delicious.The runners were also very fast, efficient and we had no wait from dirty dishes on our table to fresh drinks. I never had to ask for anything which was very different. Its service and servers like this that really make you realize what a restaurant experience should be. I left inspired. And I say this as a Manager in this local food Industry. Thanks for hosting a beautiful date for my partner and I to remember. We hope to be back soon. read more

I highly recommend Mezzo! The entire wait staff was friendly, knowledgeable, and timely. I had Le Genovese - there aren't enough positive adjectives to describe this dish. Savory, flavorful, tender... I could go on & on. Bravo, Mezzo! read more

Our late Friday arrival in Pittsburgh, left us without any food plans, so we chose this stack of three eateries because it was walkable from our hotel, and it looked as though other food options were close by. We followed the path of least resistance and landed in Mezzo, because we were able to find a couple of bar seats, despite a considerable crowd. The happenstance was serendipity! Our charcuterie plate was spot on, offering an array of meats, ranging from buttery fat prosciutto, to a fiery sopressata. The pate was mineral-ly goodness, and a chutney that provided a delicious, acidic offset, was good. Our bread assortment featured an interesting sweet lard spread, and when we ordered a bowl of green olives, our bartender suggested a wine that made the olives even more enjoyable. We also opted for the local cheeses, finding a bleu cheese that we liked so well, we sought it out the next day while visiting the strip. The atmosphere was warm, and inviting, inspiring chat with others at the bar, which we enjoyed. For an unplanned stab at our first dining experience ever, in Pittsburgh, Mezzo set the tone for a great weekend in the city. If you like to chill, and graze, it's a great choice! read more

Salumi Plate - asked waiter, specifically, what was on plate. He said "4 types of salami and one of something else". It arrived and was only 2 salami's and 3 other things my partner nor I would eat. Disappointing he was so uninformed and just defensive. The pizza's -- one was FAR TOO SALTY, had to ask to remake without putting salt on it. The pizza chef went nuts with the salt. Pistachio/porchetta pizza was VERY heavy, not thin crust, me thinks. Charred broccoli was the best of the dishes. So, not planning to return. Mezzo=mediocre, disappointing. read more

Terrible service and just okay pizza. What a nice atmosphere and location to unfortunately have this restaurant have it. Not going back.

My friend and I had dinner at Mezzo last night. The food was WONDERFUL. We had the fantastic arancini and I had the special that had pork, a carrot creme, brown butter sauce and other wonderful ingredients. The wine was really great. The service is what really stood out. Emily, our server, was AMAZING. She might be the best server I've ever had. Our wine glasses were never empty. She was patient. Attentive but not overbearing. Very personable. GO, request Emily, and ENJOY! read more

Very beautiful environment and delicious food! They give you amazing ginger type cookies with the check as well. Nice servers. Very good experience! read more

One of the best meals in Pittsburgh hands down. The service was excellent and the food was amazing. We started off with the bruschetta that was topped with bacon and tons of veggies the split the pork rassito(spelling) and split the eggplant pizza. I was shocked how delicious the eggplant pizza was, it was very good. The price of the food was very reasonable about 15-20 bucks a plate. The wine bottles were overpriced at 50 so we went with a glass of wine at 10 instead. I would highly recommend this place read more

I have never written a review on Yelp before. Never compelled to do so, but could not share about my experience at Mezzo. Awful. Took my husband and father out for Father's Day. Couldn't have had a worse experience. The restaurant is the middle section of a three tiered "open warehouse" type atmosphere. Which equates to a balmy room with little circulation. The waiter was very nice, but service timing was horribly slow. Long time for drink orders and waited a long time for bad tasting food to come out. I ordered a margherita pizza for my kids and added bacon for them for an extra $2 and came out with barely a slice of undercooked bacon, which I took off bc didn't want my kids eating it. Calamari was tasteless. Gnocchi was good. I had a $32 tuna which was over cooked and insanely salty. For that price, I assumed it was ahi Tuna and it wasn't. It also came with some black weird tasteless spongy cakes. I couldn't really complain about my meal since my husband and father both had the Seafood pasta. They were both so dissatisfied that they needed to return the dishes. It was with a red sauce with indiscernible pieces of seafood slop. The waiter knowing that we were dissatisfied, spoke with the manager, offered them to make them another dish for which we had to wait another 15-20 minutes for. At this point, my kids kept saying Mommy why aren't we leaving yet. Waiter said manager comped us our few drinks from our tab, but NEVER had to decency to come speak with us ourselves. Which was probably the most annoying part of it all. The attempt for customer service recovered was non-existent and they seemed as though they didn't care. I have a degree in Hospitality so I know how these situations needed to be handled and some management or someone other than our server should have spoken with us. I go out to eat all the time in Pittsburgh and I was so disappointed that I failed my husband and dad for Father's Day and had to spend $200 to do so for my party of 4 adults and 2 kids (that had a $20 pizza) read more

Simply would not recommend. Drinks & food are mediocre. Staff could work on their hospitality.

Atmosphere was nice. Ordered a pizza which was "ok". Server never brought my Iced tea and took a while to bring the check. Which was strange being that the restaurant was not packed. No A/C and it was a warm evening. Different but not impressive. read more

The plates are listed as small, medium and large although apparently this doesn't relate to the quantity of food on each. Not sure exactly what it relates to. I ordered the scallops which was listed as medium but when the plate came there were 2 quarter seized scollops on top of some cooked greens. Not my idea of medium, but as I said, perhaps this relates to something else. My neighbor got a vegetarian dish which was listed as small and it's was over twice the size of mine. Go figure? read more

We had an absolutely horrific customer experience at Mezzo. I consider myself someone who dines out quite often. Upon arrival (we had a reservation) and asked if we could be seated by the windows as it was a special occasion for my sister's bachelorette party. Despite having multitudes of open tables by the windows we were told no that they had other reservations. The server that came to our table appeared annoyed with our presence even being there. I requested a beer off of the menu and was told that they were out of it. My sister requested a Bloody Mary, no can do. What kind of bar can't make a Bloody Mary? I've never heard of this in my life. We were then advised that we had an hour and a half time limit at our table. This specifically is what caused me to write this review. I have never in my life been told I have a time limit at a dining establishment. Not only is this a classless statement it is also one of the most inhospitable I have every experienced. Lastly, after ordering our entrees, a member of the bridal party approached the bar to order shots. She was told no to every kind she suggested and actually insulted being told the shots she was asking for were from 1980 disparaging our age group. Again, what kind of hospitality is this? She ended up going downstairs to get the shots where they were much more accommodating. I will say the food was excellent and the hostess was kind in offering friends of ours who joined us a table nearby for drinks. I am not sure that I will ever be back as the lack of customer service overshadowed any joy we had. I highly recommend counseling your staff. They are lacking in many ways. read more

My wife and I were meeting a friend from San Francisco for dinner and wanted a good place to eat near the Westin Hotel. We had walked by Sienna Mercato and Mezzo earlier in the day but hadn't paid much attention to either. However, since it was getting late and they are open until 10 am we decided to give Mezzo a try. It is located on the second level above Sienna Mercato. We were pleasantly surprised with the menu and the variety of options. There were so many good things on the menu we had trouble deciding what to try. As it turned out all of our dinners were wonderful. I had the La Genovese, a beef pasta dish, and an Arugula salad. My wife had Salmon Tartare and a spinach salad. We split an order of fried zucchini that was delicious. Also, the background music was nice. It was classic soft rock like the Beatles, the Beach Boys, etc. They have garage door windows on the front that were open, but were later closed when it started raining. The open windows allowed for a very nice soft breeze on this June evening. Also, the service was very good. We all thoroughly enjoyed the evening at Mezzo. read more

Great place ! We went here for the first time and were not disappointed. The wines, cocktails, birch beer and Shirley Temple were absolutely amazing. The appetizers were great and the desserts really put a big finish. I recommend the mushroom risotto and the Quattro Fromaggio pizza. Loved it! read more

Food is very good, but if you really like bad service delivered with a bad attitude, then Mezzo is for you.

I agree, Yelp - As good as it gets! Starting with the service (especially Chris the manager) the staff is as welcoming as the decor. We had a large group (9) and we were late for our reservation. No problem, even with a packed house on Valentine's Day. We had a number of apps, including an outstanding bruschetta, and they were all well liked and devoured. There were a few pizzas for dinner that drew a lot of "yum" sounds, I sampled my wife's mushroom risotto that was truffle-laced heaven, and I ordered a hot sausage panini that was different and delicious. Can't say enough good things about Mezzo. Just remember the meatballs are only available downstairs! read more

Food is good, and the service is excellent. It's expensive but you get a nice meal in a really comfortable space. The menu isn't big. If you like spicy food, you'll love the shrimp diavolo. Pizza is also good, but I like Proper's pizza better. read more

Great food and awesome service. The ambiance is also amazing and it is a fun place to go! The pumpkin risotto, salads, and cheese plates were all so delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

The service here is the best in Pittsburgh. Every time I have went I had great service. I would make sure to try the sausage/pepper relish pizza and the large charcuterie board. I have often found that the charcuterie in town can be dry. They seem to be meticulously watching moisture levels here. Well done! It's good to have service in this city that is detail oriented but not pretentious. read more

This place has fantastic service and the cured meats are really well done. They always seem happy to steer you in the right direction if you can't decide. This is one of my favorite spots in Pittsburgh, for sure. read more

The service here is fantastic. I commend the kitchen on the hangar steak. The atmosphere is nice as well. It's elegant yet unpretentious. Anna really took care of us, as did Mike, the bartender. read more

Came here for Valentine's Day. We were seated so quickly, which was a definite plus for a place that doesn't take reservations. Service was outstanding. Wine was delicious. However, the food just wasn't that good. My chicken was pretty undercooked (very pink), and the polenta was very soupy. The pasta in the genovese was cooked just right but the meat was pretty toothy. I will say the charcuterie was amazing, as was the tiramisu. Verdict - come here for wine, charcuterie and dessert, skip the meal. read more

Was looking forward to a trip to Mezzo as Sienna on the Square is one of my fav Italian restaurants in Pittsburgh and this is essentially a sister. The service started out poor and continued throughout. Based on my observation it appeared they were understaffed for the crowd as our waiter had numerous tables. We were going in advance of a show and after we waited 22 minutes to get our waiter's attention after our reservation/seating time, we were finally able to order drinks for the table, along with food. My husband and I arrived earlier than the other couple and he ordered a drink which took nearly 15 minutes. We made it clear to our waiter that we were going to an 8pm show so after waiting 22 minutes for any attention, we'd need to be accommodated. We were quickly told too bad and that everyone in the restaurant was going to the show. We finally received our entrees at 7:46pm (or reservation was at 6:30) which meant we were forced to shovel the food into our mouths. It was a damn shame because we all agreed our dishes were outstanding. This is the only reason they received any stars. Kuddos to the kitchen. Front of house needs to get their act together. I don't think this was the fault of our waiter but poor management of the wait staff. The wait staff were working their tails off for basically a bunch of unhappy people. read more
