    Have been here many times in the past but it has been a long time.....went here with wife and 2 adult children for Christmas Eve....we had a reservation and waited about 10 mins as the place was very busy. The food was very good but the service was quite slow but this was likely due to maybe being a bit short-staffed for the holiday. Everyone enjoyed their meals and the Staff was pleasant. Always great when BYO.

    La Mezzaluna has been a family favorite since it opened, and we love the excellent food, attentive service and view of downtown sitting at the window. Willian always takes great care of us, and the chef makes the best risotto with fresh and tasty ingredients!

    This was our first time at this establishment. We had reservations and came an hour earlier than expected. They were very accomodating. The server was fine and the food was good. My only complaint was that I felt like I was eating in a fast food restaurant. The food was not timed properly. The salads came out while we were still eating our apps and there was no down time in between. I asked them to slow down in the kitchen but obviously they did not. It wasn't like they needed the table because we already had the reservation for the later time. Unfortunately because of this, we will not be back. If I wanted fast food service I would have gone to McDonald's.
