Mezzaluna Pasteria & Mozzarella Bar in Pacific Grove

We went there for dinner on a Monday and it had a lot people already and it was barely 5pm, so I recommend making reservations for this place, there’s plenty of parking. They have a separate menu that’s completely vegan, I order the rosemary Paloma which is alcohol free, was so good and the presentation was very cute for pictures, for the food I ordered Fettuccine ai Funghi and for dessert I had the 3 scoops of their sorbetto (guava, Meyer lemon and mixed berry) loved this place can’t wait to come back!

Had a wonderful dining experience at Mezzaluna! The staff was super responsive, there when needed, and the timing was spot on. The food was delicious. From the Gnocchi to the salad to the braised rib ravioli! The Fugitaboutit was memorable and the espresso martini was a great way to end the night. While it can be a tad bit loud, overall a top spot.

The food was good, some dishes better than others. For me the bolognese was the best dish we had. The pasta was fresh but cooked well. Service was amazing and attentive.

Youll want a reservation here and its well worth the trouble. Food was excellent, as was the service! We all enjoyed everything and ordered a wide variety of dishes. We spent quite a bit but splurged on pre dinner drinks, wine, after dinner Amaro and some take home gelato. Gnocchi appetizer was fantastic. My spicy Rigatoni alla Buttera was in fact spicy, especially since I had to request they leave out the cream. Wine prices were reasonable with a great selection. Lots of Amaro choices, which we really enjoyed.

So accommodating to us being gluten free! It has been forever since I’ve actually had ciabatta rolls and baguettes served upon request gluten free. It’s the little things like dipping in oil and pairing with peppers that I miss out on with celiac disease and Mezzaluna gave me that back for an evening. They were above and beyond, double-checking whenever they were unsure. It was a great experience & we’ll definitely be back soon.

It was an ok Italian restaurant but is very expensive for what it is. The amatriciana seemed good. The squid ink pasta with clams was pretty salty. The tiramisu was average.The wine list is really really good so if you are looking for good wine this is a place to go.For 3 people 250$ for 3 pasta 3 deserts and 1 bottles of wine.

We had the pulpa di giglia as an appetizer, Caesar salad, burrata con pomodoro, ravioli di manzi, agnolotti di funghi, and gelato (pistachio, Nutella, and candy cap mushroom). Everything tasted amazingly delicious!! My personal favorites were the burrata - the sun dried tomatoes were out of this world and agnolotti di funghi (with black truffle shavings).The only thing we werent a fan of was the elderflower spritz. It was not so great and didnt smell good either. This was the first mocktail in my life that I didnt like.Parking can fill up, but there is street parking nearby. There didnt seem to be air conditioning inside the restaurant-or maybe they just werent running it.Overall great place, I would definitely recommend. Its worth trying and I loved how the food tasted!

Mezzuna was a last minute decision and a very good one. We sat at the bar which turned out to be such a bonus as we made conversation with Alex as he made the most amazing cocktails. The place was busy and had a fun atmosphere. The service was impeccable and the food was devine. Freshly made pasta paired with creative flavors made an unforgettable night. Would recommended 100%

Delicious!! Our plans had us doing takeaway, and the bartender kindly poured us a glass of wine and brought some housemade focaccia and tapenade while we waited a short time. The handmade pastas and burrata were lovely. The dried local tomatoes were very memorable! We’ll be back!

Everything here was AMAZING! Food, drinks, service! The pasta was so incredible. I will definitely come here again when I visit Carmel :) A+!! I also loved that they provided blankets for each person, as it did get a little chilly sitting outside in the evening.
