I came to Mezzo for dinner. I left spiritually changed. First of all -- Cheryll behind the bar? Protect her at all costs. The mint mojito she made me wasn't a drink... it was a religious experience. I don't know what she put in it (mint? magic? a degree in mixology from Hogwarts?) but I considered texting my ex just to tell her I've finally found happiness. Now let's talk about the Sol Fish. I ordered it like a normal person. I did NOT expect to sit there in silence after the first bite, staring at the wall, re-evaluating my life choices. Perfectly cooked. Light, flavorful, disrespectfully good. I almost asked for a moment alone with it. At one point I considered clapping. In public. Like people do when the plane lands. Mezzo, you did your thing. Cheryll, you are a national treasure. I will absolutely be back. 10/10. Would let this meal ruin all other mojitos for me again. read more

I had a great experience my first time at Mezzo! Service was attentive and helpful as soon as we arrived and came to check in on us multiple times throughout the dinner. Multiple staff came to greet us and tend to us during the evening. Bread was tasty and crab cakes were crispy on the outside. I had never had an aperol spritz drink but was pleasantly surprised and I hope future aperol spritz's I try will be as good as this one. Rigatoni bolognese was delicious. The pistachio cannoli was the best of all the items I tried and especially unique - a must try if you come! The restaurant itself is a beautiful place to dine - very elegant. A must try if in the Stockton :) read more

First timer and this restaurant did not disappoint! Everything was great about this restaurant. Making reservations was easy, the hostess and our waiters were amazing, the vibe of the restaurant is great! The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the fritto misto, torte de granchio, and truffle fries for starters. We ordered the rigatoni bolognese and brasato costola corta. Everything was great, we had an all around great time! Will definitely be returning. read more

Wow! The food, ambiance and hospitality was 10/10. I made it here an hour before closing with a party of 6 and the Mezzo team went above and beyond to accommodate. It took no more than 4 minutes for them to sit us down. I understand sometimes this can be a challenge for some restaurants especially when it's a little closer to closing time. Not the Mezzo team! We had family that came into town for the weekend and I am so glad they got to experience this place with me. The food was absolutely delicious. I wasted no time eating my dish. I ordered the rigatoni bolognese and I honestly would have licked the plate if I wasn't in public. I'm currently thinking about placing a pickup order this week just to encounter that delicious dish again. Yummy! If you enjoy Italian food I HIGHLY suggest you come check this place out!!! Bathrooms were also clean. Also according to an employee they are unisex, ignore the signs. read more

After watching Galactus stretch out Mr. Fantastic like a noodles I was in the mood for some. Anyways.. During the movie a made a reservation for 8:00pm on a Friday night. We get there and are greeted by the host then get asked if we have a reservation? then quickly we get seated. We were giving plenty of time to settled into our table. I believe our waiter was named JT. Gave us our menu and shortly after some bread and oil to snack on. Water was also included. While we looked over the menu he took my adult drink order. Minutes later came a older man wearing something formal. To my wife surprise it was a former employee of The kitchen at stonebrier. He greeted us and told us about his current journey here at Mezzo when I wife asked. He described the specials and answered any questions we had about them. He later said goodbye during our meal. So my noodle craving wasn't meet this night I didn't see cabonara on the menu and I do understand restaurants edited thier menu as the seasons go. We ordered the mushrooms appetizers and the beef carpaccio. Mushrooms where tasty loved the heavy garlic and oil taste. Mushrooms were firm but tender. The beef carpaccio cut so thin it melted in your mouth. Loved the capers and lemon wedge. I actually stoled my wife lemon wedge from her drink to ad more acidity to the carpaccio when a bar tender noticed and brought over extra lemon wedges for me. That's was something special. Later our main dishes arrived. I ordered the ahi tuna dinner and my wife ordered the edited four cheese ravioli. My wife loved the ravioli and I completely enjoyed the ahi tuna steak. The Broccolini had a nice char taste with texture while mash potatoes were silky, good contrast. My wife ordered a peach cobbler of sorts it was super delicious and I ordered a espresso martini for dessert. The food was great along with the service and ambiance. Never felt rushed even being there after closing. Neither did everyone else. Plenty of people still at the bar after closing. Great time at Mezzo. read more

Came here on a Saturday night with a group of four. We were seated fairly quickly at the bar, which we preferred, but most of the tables inside were full--so if you're set on a table, expect a bit of a wait. The restaurant itself is small, with maybe eight tables inside, but there's plenty of patio seating available. Service was decent and attentive enough for a busy evening. Drinks: Sangria (8.5/10): Strong, flavorful, and exactly what I wanted. I went with the red--because if you're not getting red wine in your sangria, you're doing it wrong. Lemon Cooler (special menu, 7/10): On the sweeter side, but still refreshing and nicely strong. Food: Truffle Fries: Freshly made to order--hot, crispy, and generously topped with shredded truffle cheese. Carpaccio: I didn't try this since I don't eat red meat, but my cousin (a big carpaccio fan) said it wasn't the traditional style, though she really liked it. The addition of pine nuts and truffle cheese was a nice touch. Arancini: Piping hot and freshly fried with a good balance of corn, cheese, and orzo. Well-seasoned and satisfying. Crab Cakes (off-menu, courtesy of our family friend in the kitchen): Hands down, star of the night. Perfectly fried with a thin, crisp coating that didn't overwhelm the crab. The inside was packed with crab meat--plentiful and flavorful--without the heavy filler you usually find in crab cakes. Honestly, I've had plenty in Maryland (iykyk), and these held their own. The coating added just the right crunch, and they were served on a mustard-based sauce that paired really well. Overall: I'd definitely come back the next time I'm in town. This visit was more about drinks and apps as we were just dropping by to say hi to our family friend, but next time I'm looking forward to trying the entrées. read more

The table bread is amazing. The service was impeccable. They are so friendly and the food is so good. I can't wait to go back. Thank you!!

Food is fresh & delicious Small place be sure to make reservations. Service was excellent read more

The quality of the food is inconsistent. I ordered the pollo al marsala, a classic Italian dish, but it fell short of expectations. The mushroom sauce hadn't been properly reduced--it was thin and lacked flavor, even though the chicken itself was fresh. If I order this dish again and the sauce is still watery like soup, I'll be sending it back. read more

Very slow to get our food; waiting now 1.5 hours and still no food. Tip for owners: hire more cooks.

But for the sloth like preparations of the cocktails which delays the service of the excellent waiters , this would be a 5. This is a great and elegant dining experience which could be enhanced if the bartenders had some purpose and deliberation in making the drinks in a timely fashion. The food is fantastic! There is nothing on the menus that does not deliver read more

Went here last night for my birthday and had a terrible experience. When I made reservations, they were told it was for a birthday and even acknowledged it when we were greeted at the front desk.... That's pretty much where the night went downhill... the place was crowded and very loud, I felt I was sitting with the tables to the left and right of me... they were so close I heard every bit of their conversation and had to scream over that to talk with the person with me....they were hosting a huge party in the back and that is where their attention seemed to be, neglecting the rest of the restaurant.... They left one frazzled waiter by himself and the rest of the crew catered to the bridal party on the patio... i watched my appetizer sit in the service window for almost 20 minutes before it was brought to me.... They didn't acknowledge my birthday when we sat down, no free dessert, no happy birthday written on the plate of dessert not even a happy birthday from the waiter .... no offer of a free drink or a discount... NOTHING... food took forever to come out and when it did everything was terrible... absolutely no flavor which i should have known from the empty salt shaker on the table .... It was well loved by those before me... it wasn't even worth taking pictures of the meal... I really was expecting an authentic Italian meal for my birthday and was very disappointed in the meal and service.... I can't even blame the waiter, he was flustered and irritated also and rightfully so... if you can't accommodate a large party AND still cater to your regular guests then DONT TRY AND DO BOTH... I will never return here .... Food was awful... the only good thing was the tiramisu but it wasn't good enough to make up for that awful experience read more

Great spot for a date night! My favorite part about the food was how hot it was served. I ordered the gamberetti alfredo and it was 10/10! I would definitely order again with extra parm. My husband ordered the brasato costola corta which was full of flavor! For dessert we had the pistachio crème brûlée not pictured below; topped with a chocolate biscotti. It was very delicious with a subtle hint of pistachio. Our server was amazing! His name is J.T. He was super friendly and attentive. He checked on us often which I appreciated! Definitely will be returning in the future. :) read more

The ambiance here is great! Candlelight (battery operated) and flowers (fake) on every table. There is an outside area however, it was over 100 degrees on the day I went. I will say, however, the ambience of this place would be great for a date night. The food is good and a couple things are great! The Focaccia bread served for free at your table is amazing so is the balsamic in the oil! I could've just had that, it was so good! For appetizers, I tried the calamari, the shrimp, and the deep fried olives. I have never tried a deep-fried olive before, and let me tell you it was the best thing ever! The others just had tempura batter on them and were averagely good. I also tried the artichoke, it is grilled and had a unique flavor. It was good, but not great. I would pass on it it's not worth the money or calories. For dinner, I had the halibut. It was very good. Served with broccolini and mashed potatoes. My only complaint would be that it was served at a slightly over room temperature. I would really appreciate when I get food served that it is piping hot. To be fair I was with a few others, and it was extremely packed in the restaurant. My friend had a pasta dish in which they added chicken to it. I tried a bite of it and was not impressed at all. I do not recommend it. I can't remember the name of it, but you will see a picture of it in my review. It was very salty. Our friend had a hamburger and french fries. It too was average, but I will say at least it was served extremely hot. I took off one star for the food, not being served hot (with the exception of the hamburger and fries) not even the appetizers were served hot. Also, the parking is absolutely horrible. If walking is an issue for you or a concern for any reason, I recommend skipping this place. Overall, I do recommend this place. Check out my photos! read more

Stopped by on a Saturday night and it looked pretty busy but got a table for 2 in less than 5 minutes. We received complimentary bread and wow! The bread was super soft and fresh. I would eat 10 plates of their bread! They have specials on top of their main menu. I got the Fettuccine and my boyfriend got the Parmagiano. The portions are great! We definitely were super full. We got a few cocktails. I got the sangria and my boyfriend got the Pineapple Screwdriver. They were delicious and great price! I would recommend! read more

This place is a hidden gem. The food was absolutely amazing. The pasta tasted so fresh. We ordered the salmon plate, mushroom ravioli, balognese, and the shrimp Alfredo. Everything was 10/10 delicious. Not to mention the service was soooo nice! Our hostess started off super sweet and was very accommodating. Our waiter Walter was amazing, he truly went above and beyond for our party and made our mom's birthday beautiful. We sat outside and the ambiance was lovely. They had heaters and it felt toasty even though we were outside. Again, 10/10 recommend. read more

If you enjoy waiting 45 minutes just to place your order this is the place for you. Food was OK but also took another 45 minutes to get it. Our waiter was more interested in hanging out with the other employees at the restaurant. My husband's pork chop didn't really have much flavor and his risotto was burnt. Definitely will not go back. Unfortunately second chances are not something we like to do after spending over $200 on a meal. read more

This was a romantic restaurant tucked in the corner. Parking was easy and free. Customer service was good and the workers seemed happy to be there. I tried the Salmone con risotto entree and was disappointed. The salmon was cooked nicely with a crunchy sear outside and moist inside. It was seasoned with salt. The salmon was overpowered by the risotto and the ratio of fish to carbs was quite off. There was a giant blob of risotto topped by a 4 inch slice of salmon. The dish tasted sour against salted fish. There were raw chopped cranberries instead of pomegranate, which made it even more sour. read more

I desperately needed to get out of the house and decided to try this place out. The server was sweet and helpful. She gave a nice recommendation for a good cocktail. I also thought their outside patio was lovely and peaceful. Unfortunately, the food fell short of my expectations especially for their prices. The calamari could have been perfect had it not been overly salty. I also prefer a good marinara instead of the cream sauces these places nowadays opt out for. My sister ordered the gnocchi and we both thought everything about the sauce tasted strange. Lastly, my burger was nothing special and the bun had a horrible smell to it. It smelled burnt, greasy, and tangy. That's the only way I would describe it. read more

We frequent this restaurant a few times a year. It's always a pleasure and we enjoy the good food. But gosh it's so cold right now in that restaurant. On a cold evening you want to walk in and feel warmth. It didn't happen this evening. I hate spending a lot of money for dinner and being uncomfortable eating it. And then also our little bread cubettes that we were served were cold. The Caesar salad amazing! Short ribs that my husband had were perfect also. Lentil soup, meh. And what is up with the hostess and her attire? I know she's a young girl and just working part time I'm sure, but goodness sakes, white tennis shoes and jeans? Like she's just been out for a hike or something? Really ruins the whole thing as far as trying to make a statement of what your restaurant is about. read more

Bartender Cheryl is amazing!!! 13 people at the bar ordering drinks and dinner... And she handled it all, including drinks for the entire Restaurant! She also rings up all the bills from all the tables throughout the whole restaurant...!!! Pork chop was amazing however it took over 45 minutes to get it to the table and Cheryl apologized profusely. We just hope to heck that she's getting paid for all that she does because she goes above and beyond... and with a genuine smile! read more

We have been for lunch on a few occasions and tried it for dinner last night. It is always good but the dinner was excellent. The halibut special was some of the best we have tried. The rigatoni bolognese is a must. Our table shared the Ravioli entree as an appetizer and it was excellent. Four cheese ravioli. Nice indoor and outdoor patio seating. Great service. read more

Smoked salmon is really good, so is the pork belly appetizer (not on the menu). Salmon comes out bright red and super fresh. Beet salad is decent too, I got it with side of prawn and dressing on the side. Really like the goat cheese and touch of pomegranate seeds. Service was prompt and attentive. Wine choices are excellent and fairly priced for a restaurant. Tiramisu was okay but a little dry and too thick and creamy for my taste. Kinda prefer mine a little more soaked (but not soggy) if that makes sense. Still very enjoyable. Ambiance is warm, cozy and intimate. Came for a work dinner but could see it being a great place for a date too. Overall a good meal. Would recommend. read more

Absolutely love this place. I was in town helping my cousin move and we needed to grab a bite to eat so decided to come here based on the pictures on Yelp.

This was not the first time we dinned there. The food has very little flavor. It didn't taste seasoned at all.

We came here on a Saturday evening for my mom's birthday and it was the perfect spot for a family dinner. The enclosed patio was spacious, clean, and cute with the bistro lights. The toddler had a great time walking around. Food was excellent. We had the fettuccine carbonara, salmon, rigatoni, cod special, tomato salad, gem salad, and Arancini. I'd order all of these again. Oh, the espresso martini was delicious as well and worth a revisit. Highly recommend for your next family dinner or even a date night. read more

A friend and I celebrated our birthmonth at Mezzo. We opted to dine outside for a weekday lunch. Ambiance was wonderful. We were served focaccia bread and olive oil while we waited for our orders- the bread was very tasty! We gobbled it up quickly and asked for a little more:) I had the rigatoni bolognese and she had the market ravioli, both very filling and tasty. I couldn't finish my meal up and took the rest home. My friend seemed to enjoy her meal - which was a 5 cheese ravioli in a creamy sauce that day. The restaurant has more food selection for dinner so we will have to come back. They also have a full bar. I like the location - within walking distance to Brookside homes and businesses and just a couple of minutes from the freeway. Glad to have this italian restaurant so close by! read more
