Amazing food and incredible service. I hosted my baby shower here and everything g was made to perfection. Each guest came up to me and told me they loved their meal, everything was so fresh and delicious. They were able to cater to my vegetarian and gluten free guests. The service was impeccable, from making sure every table had what it needed to making sure food came out on time in an orderly manner. If you are looking to host your event here, you are going to be extremely pleased because it’s very rare to find both excellent food and service in one place. The atmosphere is beautiful, the restaurant is spacious and holds many people. I had so many guests say they are coming back to dine here on their own.

Severs name was Josh who did an excellent job! Considering the restaurant was very full at the time we ordered he did his best to accommodate us and move as quickly as he could, the crowd was a young professional, upper scale clientele, coming from a background Italian heritage this food was 100% completely authentic , I definitely will recommend and will be returning!!!

We had a party of 9 and the food and service was outstanding. The atmosphere and service was excellent as well. I would definitely recommend Mezza Note if you’re looking for great Italian cuisine, as they knocked it out of the park from the entrees to the main dishes and desserts. We will definitely be making a comeback. We had an amazing time.

Never disappoints us. We were regular at Yonge-Finch location but unfortunately it was closed. First time putting the order with the new location, Rustica - replacing rapini with black olives and olive oil drizzled on top Always the same choice and it never gets boring ♥️

Our go-to spot for a classic southern Italian restaurant. This place has everything you're looking for from great fo and friendly service. Roberto and his team are gems and some of the kindest people I've ever met. It was absolutely a pleasure coming here. I want to add that this is a great place to host an intimate family gathering or business function. I can't say enough about Mezza Notte! We'll be back again very soon!

This was the first time at the new location. It seems smaller and is much noisier. The menu has changed and is much smaller and they no longer have the salmon penne in a vodka sauce, which was my favourite. However, everything was still great. Parking can be a challenge. Overall, still one of my favourite places.

★★★★★

Italian food that is outstanding. We were invited to a family event and I honestly can say the food was delicious. It was a preset menu and each dish was not only delicious but beautiful presentation. Every bite was fresh and perfectly seasoned. I would highly recommend if you are looking for Italian food. They are opened for business in between private parties.

This was the first time I came to their new location as I have always visited their old location that was by young street. And I love this new site. Its upscale and the food and drinks are amazing. Love the ambiance and servers Are very kind. The chicken parm was on point and I love their pizza and my all time favourite tiramisu. Its a must try.

Loved the food and service but it gets really loud. We went on a Sunday night and it was full and we could barely hear ourselves talk. Also, their phone system doesn t work. I tried to make reservations and leave a message and it just hangs up after giving you these options.

★★★

The most condescending, rude server I have ever encountered. From the first instance of interaction she spoke down to our table suggesting our ignorance. Delicious food, but if you get the middle aged Asian woman as a server I d reconsider dining with them or ask for someone else. She was horrid. Really astonishingly rude, demeaning and condescending. This should be a zero star for service but that is not programmable. Be warned.

★★★★★

food is delicious and the service is fast. Our server was very knowledgeable and the staff are welcoming. And the prices are very reasonable for the amount of food you get.

November 23, 2024

We were looking forward to a great meal, as I ve been to Mezze Notte at their other locations. When our appetizers were served, we asked for a basket of bread and were told you get four pieces for an additional charge , out of principle, it was a hard no. I ordered the Veal parm. It looked dried up and tasted even worse. The tomato sauce was very acidic. I should mention that we were seated in the basement because the upstairs was full. We sat in the basement where it was dingy and stunk of mould/mildew. There are far too many other trattorias/restaurants to choose from. Will NOT be going back

Came here tonight to celebrate an anniversary and for their summerlicous menu. The food was great, the service on the other hand, left a lot to be desired. We had to asked for two separate drinks twice and people who came after us got served before us. When my plate came out, I found hair in my food. We flagged the waiter down right away and he took the plate without any expression of regret. There were some other mishaps like dropping a fork into my lap and grabbing for it and asking several times for things, drinks, salt etc. Maybe he was just having a bad day but it took away from the overall experience. The food itself was delicious and would like to come back still.

July 21, 2024

The food was mediocre, lacking both flavor and presentation. The service was equally disappointing. The Summerlicious menu choices were a letdown and felt like a scam: a vinegary salad, pasta with red sauce, and a small dessert. The service was almost nonexistent. Stay away unless you can tolerate a disappointing dining experience.

★★
July 21, 2024

The most mediocre Italian food. Poor service as well. Better off eating at home. Hostess said she would be able to seat us outside once the previous table left and sat us inside in the meantime. However she never came back to seat us outside. Server was unpleasant and offered little to no information on the dishes.

Amazing place, me and my girlfriend went for a summerlicious dinner and were blown away by everything. From the great service to the delicious food, and the tiramisu the size of the slice, I wish I took a photo. The decor is right up my alley with the vintage car brands. Will be back next month for my birthday, for sure. And the owner has great taste in cars!

For many years, we have enjoyed our visits to Mezza Nottes original location on Yonge Street, celebrating birthdays, Valentines Days, and other special occasions with great service and food. This tradition led us to try their newer location on Dufferin Street for my mothers 78th birthday, with nine of us in attendance. Sadly, the experience fell short of our expectations. We understand that mistakes happen, but the multitude of issues we encountered, including four of our nine main courses being messed up, was not satisfactory, for the amount that was spent and really took from the occasion. The issues started 10 minutes after ordering our main courses. We were informed the steak and the halibut dishes from the list of specials, were now both unavailable, why present them as options if they are not. This required us to revisit the menu and make other selections. Once the main courses started coming out the fun continued. A wrong pasta was brought to the table, which then had to be sent back. The correct pasta, which had originally been ordered, had to be made, causing further delays. On top of that my moms salmon order, was served at room temperature and was sent back to be reheated, when it came back it was luke warm at best, and ultimately was sent back for good. Despite our polite efforts to address these issues with both the waiter and the manager, the day that was meant to be special was not due to all these mishaps and the family not being able to enjoy a pleasant stress free meal together. The manager did removed the charge for the salmon, but come on it was sent back and thats the least that could be done. Other than that I would say the new location was very loud, lacked parking and lacked the charm and warmth of the original on Yonge Street. With regret, we do not plan to return. Ty for making a special day, extra special.

Cozy restaurant, great food options, make sure to listen to the specials from the waiter because they had some good special selections when I went that werent on the menu. I had the eggplant parmesan, I guess I was expecting some kind of noodles with it but it was just 4 (deliciously) breaded slices of eggplant. Fairly priced and nice solo washrooms.

I have been several times and I have yet to be disappointed with my food choices. I have a family member with a garlic allergy and the wait staff is always kind in answering the questions that we have (and there are garlic free options too which is so hard to find!) There are also several gluten free options which are also very helpful. It does get busy on the weekends so I do recommend to make a reservation just incase.

March 21, 2024

The food was and never has been a problem, well in the past. The new menu axes most of the old inuding some favorites. What is left has smaller portions and was overcooked. Servers are inattentive, the atmosphere is dead from old locatio to new. With the open space of the new location it is impossible to hear people at your own table including the server. The table are cramped and uncomfortable. All the charm and class the restaurant had once is long gone. Never coming back.

March 21, 2024

I was excited to see a new place open up in the neighbourhood. Our daughter s communion was coming up and we looked into booking the downstairs private room. Called the restaurant and 1 of the owners called back. He had a time slot available that afternoon. Great! We went in to see him. First off he had no other ideas for different option other than the bland out of date dishes on the 1950 s menu. Ok, so we ll go with those. He then told us that he would speak to his partner and call us back in a day or 2 with a price. Well he called back 2-1/2 weeks later saying that he didn t call earlier as he felt that we were not going to book anyways. Well guess what? How can I book a place that has no other suggestions for food options and calls back 2 weeks later. Anyways your loss not mine. I know you ve been in business for 30year plus. I think it s gotten to your head. You should find a different avenue of business. Maybe one that doesn t require customer service.

March 21, 2024

Just had dinner at Mezza Notte. Our food arrived quickly. I ordered the Fettucine DEstate. It was just so/so. My husband had the Rigatoni Russa and the pasta was hard. The service was fine. Be aware that it is very loud in the restaurant. We have a regular Italian restaurant in Scarborough which is far better. Disappointed. Parking: Disappointed.

★★★★
March 21, 2024

Food was good as was service. Only downfall thatll keep me from returning is the fee for bread. To refer the restaurant as being authentic Italian.....this is a definite faux pas.....bread is to be served as customary upon being seated. If you want to nickel and dime....bake the cost into the entrees.

We went to celebrate a friends birthday - her choice of the restaurant. The food was good, the service could be improved - pretty slow and our waiter wasnt very attentive.

We celebrated my sons baptism at Mezzanotte. The food was amazing! All the guests enjoyed themselves. The staff were all so pleasant and accommodating. Gus (one of the owners) had great suggestions for setting up the space and very helpful ideas for our menu. He was always happy to help and checked in throughout the night. He let us use their basement hall (free of charge), which was cozy and intimate for our event (of about 20 guests). He allowed us to bring the cake, bomboniere, and flowers in the morning ahead of the function. Jen was our server and she was awesome as well. I would definitely book my next event at Mezzanotte. I also highly recommend Mezzanotte if youre looking to book a private function. The food is on point, the people are polite, accommodating and well organized, and the atmosphere is pleasant.

The tables are so small that you can barely put anything on it. The atmosphere is not conducive to date night or Valentine s Day. There is little space between tables so it feels like you are double dating as you are sitting so close to other people and you can hear them. The food was okay, nothing to rave about.

Very disappointing The most important thing when we enter a restaurant is to feel welcome but unfortunately that was not the case. My husband and I went to this restaurant to have a dinner after a long day of work expecting to have a good time but the man who welcomed us (the manager or owner, maybe) acted arrogantly and without cordiality. We were sent to the room downstairs, maybe because we didn t have reservation. The waiter who served us was very attentive and friendly but the food was just ok and the tiramisu is not worthy it We were expecting more from an Italian restaurant.

We used their catering service for 2 event in the last 2 months and both times the food was excellent. It arrived on time, and the food was delivered in foil pans with lids and then in a card board box which kept the food warm. We had penne vodka which our guest loooved, lemons chicken, veal and mushroom masala, grilled veggies, risotto and salad. All absolutely delicious! Rob was the person who we connected with to set up our menu and he was lovely to work with. All in all Mezza Notte s food and service was amazing! We look forward to eating in there soon or using them for another event. Hundred percent recommend!

New location not quite ready for prime time. We always enjoyed the Yonge Street spot so we decided to try the new Dufferin location. Reservations highly recommended. On walking in the place was full and the noise level was 10+. They have a downstairs dining room and we checked it out, same noise level so we stayed upstairs. Wines by the glass start at about $15, which we think is pricey. We ordered an Italian salad, a pizza and a pasta with grilled chicken. Salad served quickly, but came with the root end of the romaine which the server and manager thought was appropriate (we disagree). The pizza and pasta and took over 30 minutes to arrive. Food was well prepared and tasty. Bottles of still water left on the table is great. Dining rooms need baffles, carpeting of wall coverings to reduce the noise. Its nice to be able to speak to and hear others at the table. Servers try hard but need some more time to get it right. Vegetarian options: Pizza and the pasta without the chicken, otherwise no choices.

Cute local Italian restaurant. Decor is simple, modern, and clean. It was a busy night, so it was very noisy and difficult to have a conversation. Service was slow, but Ill blame it on a busy evening. Cesar salad and Margarita pizza were fine. Tiramisu was light on the coffee flavour but still delicious.

Thr food was fine, however the venue itself, was so bad, it made the entire experience an unpleasant one. You literally had to scream to hear guests that were sitting right across from you. The other problem, was that there was at least 20 - 25 steps to use downstairs washroom. Too bad! This was our first and last time at the new Mezza Notte.

This Mezzanotte relocated from Yonge street to now on Dufferin. The best pasta dishes from the Yonge street location are no longer being offered. No more complimentary bread. Food is good but not great. Prices are up, food quantity down and overall this 10/10 restaurant is regrettably now a 7/10 restaurant. Too bad as this used to be a favorite.

What was supposed to be a dinner celebrating my mom s birthday, turned out to be a disaster. I made a reservation a week prior to the date. Was confirmed by the gentleman on the phone and thought that was it. Turns out, the incompetent gentleman did not record our reso and we showed up (9 of us) to a packed house and the gentleman at the door looking at us like we were crazy. He didn t offer anything or even try to accommodate us, didn t really seem to care at all that his staff screwed up and said, well, what do you want me to do? Nothing sir. Absolutely nothing. We went to Moretti and had the best meal. With customer service like that, we ll never go back to this location again.

Came to visit this new place in the neighborhood..ordered a pizza beer and sangria. Waitress informed us that they didnt have any sangria today so reccomended a drink called Paloma which was supposedly close taste to sangria...until my date tried it and it was nothing close and a very sour tasting drink. She literally had a sip and it still looked as if it was new ..told our waitress we didnt like it and if there was something else such as a margarita which she informed us that they couldnt make cause of ingredients. So we shared our beer and pizza . Asked for the bill and ti my surprise they charged me for the drink . Even mentioned it and was told that the boss said the drink was poured so they have to charge . Never in my life have I witnesses such .even Tim Hortons would replace your drink ..I didnt want nothing for free . Just a replacement with simlar taste to what I was trying to order . I even left a tip because its not the waitress fault either..piss poor management whom obviously never heard of spillage or word of mouth advertising which Ill be sure to let everyone know not to visit this place . It only cost me 15 to realize Ill never go back and 15 to ruin your reputation ..I guess thats how it goes when you obviously hurting for the money that youd pull a move like that .. also had a hair In my pizza that I didnt even mention to them . Ya, stay away from this place..much better options near by that know how to treat customers with

Outstanding. Im so happy to see this restaurant has moved to a better location . Located on Duffren between Lawrence Avenue and Orfus Road . This newly opened location well surely impress even the fussiest of diners. They offer the same great quality that they had on Young Street and in some ways I find it even better. I love the new decor it looks very nice. They also have a private function room available if youre having any kind of special event. They also do catering as well as possibly delivery but I would strongly suggest you ask the management about that. As a regular of their other location its nice to see that other faithful customers are also making the trip across the city to enjoy the dining experience at this location. They have a very loyal fan base and I wish them all the best at their new location. This amazing review will cost you an appetizer of calamari !! Kidding . Anyways thank you to all the hardworking staff and management for their outstanding efforts at providing an upscale and excellent dining experience.

Lovely patio set up and beautiful dining room inside. Im happy to have sat on the patio as the indoor dining area echoes and it can be quite loud. The food is good but wasnt as flavourful as I had hoped. Most of our order was seafood so maybe next time Ill order something else. I will say, service is very good. Everyone is pleasant and our orders came at a reasonable pace. Parking: Parking lot is very small. Street parking is available on the street in the evenings at no cost.

First time at new location. Not alot of parking. Interior is beautiful but noisy. Food was delicious.. however no bread provided like most Italian restaurants. No bruchetta or garlic bread on the menu either. Drinks are priced quite high as well. Main courses and pasta were very good but upon asking for spaghettini, cappalini or angel hair pasta I was told it wasnt available. Would I return? Maybe.

The service was quick and the vibe at the restaurant was great (esp the music) and I really enjoyed the dishes I ordered. Fettuccine d estate, didn t have a tomato based sauce, as it s base is just extra virgin olive oil. Super delicious and pasta was cooked perfectly. Insalata di radicchio, one of my favourite salads! It was sweet, a bit sour and bitter but went really well with the walnuts and blue cheese. Vitello saltimbocca, this dish was a bit too salty for me but the veal was cooked really tender.

The food was pretty good but I was surprised with the service. We arrived and were seated and given water. The waitress came over right away and started telling us about the specials of the day. We were not asked if we wanted a cocktail. We had to ask her for one. We were not given a wine list. We had to ask for it. Food was very good. We loved the Arancini and I had the Salmon for my main and it was delicious. My friend had a pasta dish and she enjoyed it also.

I ordered the black squid ink spaghetti and the cured meats and cheese for appetizer. Ordering the cured meats and cheese was a terrible idea - nothing on the plate looked presentable, the cheese was dry and cut randomly in different sizes, and the meats were messy. It felt like they didnt even try for this dish. However, the black squid ink spaghetti was delicious with a generous amount of seafood. The staff was super nice and helpful. The atmosphere was lovely. I would go again for their pasta and seafood.

Amazing italian place. I heard this place was recently renovated and you can tell because it looks very modern and new. We arrive on a Thursday at 8 pm and it was empty but by 8:30 was packed. The cozze marinara and the pizza with pesto was out of this world. The service was excellent and everything looks super clean. Parking: It has limited space in front but there are free options nearby. Can be a little bit more dificult to find a place if you go for lunch

Tried the new location after frequenting the previous two locations many times. . The food was excellent as always. Delicious Italian food and prices were fairly reasonable. Service wasn t bad, the waiter was friendly except he forgot to bring us the bread and we had to ask for it. Unfortunately as others have mentioned it is way too loud. Also, the ambience of the room was not very good, too many tables packed together in one room with fairly basic decor. Overall I found this new location a little disappointing and I probably would not go back unless during a less busy day of the week or maybe in the summer when the patio is open.
