"**Drinks (5/5):** The amaretto sour was light and sweet, while the Negroni was stronger with a pleasant fruity aftertaste. **Starter bread (4/5):** While it wasn’t extraordinary, it was still quite good. I particularly enjoyed the olive oil dip that accompanied it. **Octopus (3/5):** The accompanying orange sauce was nice, but I wouldn’t order this dish again as it felt a bit pricey for what it was, and the octopus was somewhat tough to chew. **Spaghetti carbonara (4/5):** This dish was creamy and delicious, with a satisfying amount of meat. **Rigatoni (5/5):** It’s easy to see why this is their most popular dish; it had a stronger and more memorable flavor compared to the spaghetti carbonara. **Flourless chocolate cake (2/5):** Unfortunately, the chocolate cake was too bitter for my taste, and I believe it could have used more ice cream to complement it. That said, the presentation was visually appealing."

Fantastic fresh pasta. Rigatonis alla Buctera is where it's at. Honestly the mozzarellas were OK but the pastas a made up for it.

We had a fantastic dinner at Mezzaluna Pasteria. The dishes were perfectly cooked, and the ingredients were incredibly fresh. We enjoyed the octopus with artichokes, duck liver pâté, two types of mozzarella, and potato gnocchi. We will definitely be back! View menu

My partner and I spent two weeks exploring California, traveling from San Francisco to Big Sur. Each night, we dined at various restaurants, but the highlight of our culinary journey was this one! We can't recommend it enough. The food was exceptional, and the service was outstanding. Thank you for a memorable experience! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

This is one of our go to restaurants when guests are in town. Quality food and great craft cocktail and wine list offerings. Some of the best sauce combinations on their pasta dishes and a fantastic Caesar salad. We keep coming back because they mix things up with seasonal specials. Great staff, great service. Recommend a reservation and come early for the best parking.

The pasta was cooked very nicely and had good texture, but throughout the meal all of the dishes were too salty. We ordered the lamb meatballs, clam chowder, pappardelle, and ravioli di manzi. The food would have been very good if they had reduced the salt by half maybe at least a third. I kept drinking water throughout the meal as we didn't want to waste the food. The staff though was very friendly! View menu

Absolutely delicious!! Initially, we intended to get takeaway, but the bartender graciously served us a glass of wine and brought out some delicious housemade focaccia and tapenade while we waited just a little while. The handmade pastas and burrata were delightful, and the dried local tomatoes left a lasting impression! We will definitely be returning! Meal type: Dinner Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

I am genuinely disappointed with my experience at Mezzaluna. I've been a regular customer, visiting once a month to enjoy my favorite dish and catch up with their fantastic bartender, Alex. However, during my last visit, I witnessed a troubling incident involving the owner, who was belittling and intimidating the hardworking staff. Until now, I had always enjoyed great food and service at Mezzaluna, but this behavior from the owner overshadowed everything. I cannot support such unkind behavior and have decided not to return.
