    We dined on a weeknight near Christmas and there was a loud private Christmas party in the bar area. Dining room was nearly empty and generally sterile and unattractive. Our server was efficient but not particularly friendly. Our food was above average overall except for the calamari appetizer. In a better setting with some ambience this would have been a nice experience.

    We’re from out of town and found Cafe M through OpenTable. Our waiter was courteous and provided good service. My husband enjoyed his dish of clams, shrimp & fish. It had a marinara-like sauce. Unfortunately my strip steak was flavorless.

    Limited menu, but don’t be afraid to ask the chef for what you want. My wife wanted linguine with clams ( not on the menu). They made the dish for her. I had a perfectly cooked veal chop. Great restaurant!

    Nice, quiet atmosphere with a subtly modern decor. The staff in general was accommodating, pleasant and helpful Our server was friendly and welcoming. She answered all of our questions and made recommendations which turned out to be exactly as she represented. The chef/owner, Sergio, was congenial, pleasant and funny but, most of all, humble. Incredible experience! I highly recommend Cafe Mezzanotte. We will certainly return there often!

    Cafe Mezzanotte is consistently a great experience. Veal chop is out of this world. But everything that Sergio produces is excellent, fresh, and authentic Italian cuisine. Go there. You will NOT be disappointed!!

    My friend & I had a 10/10 experience! Our server was very kind, gave recommendations & got our food to us so quickly. Everything tasted fresh & delicious. The Drinks were strong but tasty & the Lobster Ravioli was amazing. We even got to thank the Chef afterwards. We will definitely return

    Very disappointing. The server had zero personality. The place was almost empty, but he seemed to be ignoring us. The food was unimpressive. Bolognese was a bowl of pasta and hamburger... not much flavor. The Lobster ravioli had very little lobster. We had to request grated cheese! Who doesn't do that automatically with pasta? Will not be going back!
