Don’t buy anything here! 23 bucks for a sausage and a bottle water
Dave McDonald
My fault for tapping to pay without first checking the charge, but paid an outrageous $38 for two sausages. We were in away team jerseys. Feel that we were targeted and ripped off. I see other similar reviews, so beware. A stadium sausage isn't worth that price. Leaves a sour note on the city as a visitor.

Absolute rip off. Do not buy, $18 for a sausage.

18 dollars for a sausage 10 for a boiled hot dog lord no even price listed no ice for drinks, no wort it

Good food and nice ambience. My biggest complaint is that 2/3 of our order didn't get put in and it didn't get corrected until we were done with one of our main courses so it ended up being 45 min+ after ordering before we got our food. I'm not sure how they thought we were only ordering one main between the two of us, esp after we ordered a $60 bottle of wine. The did bring us two free glasses of wine to make up for it. We ordered the jonah crab tagliolini, the gnocchi alla vodka, and some bread. I liked the tagliolini overall but I think it could've done without the sourness from the picked jalapeños. The gnocchi was the better of the two dishes imo but the portion was small and not very filling.

Well visited italian restaurant on the Harrison corner . On a busy Friday night we were seated outside with an interesting view of the eclectic crowd. Our server was prompt and busy but quite capable. We started with the arancini and corn which was tasty. The salt cod croquettes were more like fish and chips. The focaccia with the eggplant dip was flavorful. I came for the lobster paccheri but that was disappointing. The pasta was too al dente and difficult to eat. There was hardly any sauce and it was very under seasoned. There was plenty of lobster which was slightly undercooked like the pasta. The crab tagliolini had a nice lemon flavor on the other hand.

Bar Mezzana never disappoints. Chef Eliza and her incredible team, under the leadership of Chef Colin Lynch, do an amazing job with both their food and the ambiance of their restaurant. There is nothing in the North End that compares to the taste and quality of the Italian dishes expertly prepared here. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants an authentic Italian meal and experience.

I had the biter swan for my drink which has gin, bitters, peach, raspberry, & lime in it. It was really good! I also had the lobster paccheri with deshelled one and a quarter pound lobster, lobster crema, green onion, & tomato in it. The dish was fantastic! The lobster was tender and the dish was flavorful. My only complaint is that the sauce was runny so it didn't stick to the pasta. It made it a bit hard to eat without dripping the sauce on your shirt and it me wish I had a spoon to eat the pasta with. I also had the dessert special, which was a flourless chocolate pie that had the texture of mouse. It came with a whipped cream and toasted hazelnuts on top. Delish. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were attentive and helpful.

It's a lovely experience every time I've dined with this restaurant group. The food is outstanding (especially the roasted mushrooms and ragu bolognese) and the service is even better; they don't rush you, time the dishes well, and will do anything they can to make sure you have an enjoyable experience. Shout out to our server, Tommy, who was so knowledgeable about both the food and wine, and made my partner's birthday a memorable evening!! We will definitely be back!
Table wasn't ready when we arrived. Had to wait over 30 mins for bread, olive oil, and olives. When the mains came out the broccoli rabe tasted burnt and like lighter fluid. The scallops were over cooked and rubbery. The zucchini they were accompanied with were mushy and over salted and seasoned. The amatriciana tasted sweet and out of a can—no spice at all. The bucatini was soggy and over cooked. awful experience and totally overpriced.

They have changed menu to “family style”. The portions are smaller and price of entree is less but not by much. The value has gone down by making this change. The food itself remains good but this change is not for the better.

We had such a great experience at Bar Mezzana! My mom is GF and they carefully explained the menu and which items would be best after asking her what type of dish she was interested in. The staff found out we were celebrating and brought us over sparkling dessert wine after our mains. It was fabulous and really took our night over the top! I recommend this place to anyone.

It took a very long time for us to get served, the place was extremely crowded, loud and expensive. Most of the food was delicious, including appetizers and desserts as well as everyone else's meal. However, we had to send back my dish of gnocchi with octopus because the gnocchi was quite overcooked, for which they credited us.

Do not get the spaghetti with clams. It tasted like straight lemon on spaghetti, and some how it wasn't able to mask the frozen ocean taste of the clams. Sourdough was good though
