Really disappointed here, all of the food was overcooked. Calamari was rubbery, lobster was chewy, steak was far from medium practically over well. The flavors were good but execution fell very short of acceptable let alone good. With such high reviews, I expected better from this place.

Restaurant was busy so we sat at the lounge, where we got to order from the restaurant menu. Bread and sun dried tomato olive oil dip was really good. Don’t turn away due to the high prices, you can get 3 meals out of one based on these portions. The pasta was excellent.

Stopped back in and just as good!
Super yummy food and always a nice atmosphere. Crowded but was managed very well for how many people were coming and going. Our server, Sabrina, was excellent. Food was hot and well seasoned. Have been a few times and keep coming back because it's consistently good.

Delicious food!!! Been going here for years and although the prices went up significantly when they went farm to table, it was well worth it as the food quality did as well.
Dining room is more formal, while the bar room has booths, tables, and a bar, atmosphere is good for any age child and casual attire.

The food and service was great here. Our server was very attentive throughout our entire dinner and the food was great too. The chicken parmigiana which is what I got was really good. The chicken was tender and it was a great portion size. I would definitely recommend coming here.

Went here for a Christmas party an I must say everything was delicious.
If it was just for the service and the taste of the food alone, I'd still give 5 stars. But I have to emphasize and applaud the attention that this chef/owner gives to the QUALITY and transparency of menu items and the way the menu showcases that with clean, healthy, thoughtfully prepared dishes. I brought my mom here for her birthday (I don't live in the area) and as I was looking at the menu, I was absolutely delighted to see the sourcing of ingredients listed at the bottom! Such an amazing touch to demonstrate the elevated experience you get at this restaurant. And then the service and the taste of the food obviously did NOT disappoint.

We visited Cafe Mezzanotte for a family birthday gathering on a Sunday evening, right before the Ravens vs. Steelers game. We had a reservation for 13 people and were seated immediately, which was impressive given the timing.
Our waitress, Cat, was outstanding—she quickly offered drinks and appetizers, kept our water glasses full without being asked, and checked on us regularly. She was friendly, attentive, and truly helped make the evening special.
The food was spectacular. Cafe Mezzanotte offers a wonderful balance of gourmet dishes alongside child-friendly options. We started with complimentary artisan bread and dipping oil, which was amazing. For appetizers, we shared calamari (perfectly crispy with a unique and delicious sauce), venison carpaccio (delicate and flavorful), artichoke caprese (fresh and zesty), and the bison frico, which was my personal favorite—super flavorful and very filling.
For entrées, we ordered the bison brasare (a generous portion, cooked perfectly), filet mignon, and several pasta dishes, including their popular pappardelle mignon, which I highly recommend. The pasta was cooked al dente and soaked up every bit of the rich semi-glaze sauce.
Everything was beautifully plated and clearly prepared with passion and care. Highly recommend Cafe Mezzanotte for special occasions or a memorable night out!

The mushroom risotto with filet mignon with a chocolate espresso martini for dessert was delicious! Highly recommend!
The hostess informed us that they only offered a dinner menu because of the holiday. Also, the server did warn us that she was the only server on staff at 2pm on New Years Eve…So maybe we should have moved on-but we stayed. Enjoyed a complementary bread basket with herb garlic oil, a house salad, a ~$17ish bowl of cream crab soup (delicious and worth the money and the wait), a 3-meatballs appetizer ~$15, that tasted burnt - although not a burn on them-decided it must have been some of the bacon in the sauce, and finally ordered spaghetti with meat sauce, ~$23 +add sausages-unfortunately it came out as spaghetti with ground sausage sauce, and meatballs :-/ although the spaghetti with sauce was delicious. It was definitely not what we ordered.
Oh! A single glass each of Ice tea and water … no refills.
By the time that we left, another server must have arrived because people were being offered fresh ground pepper and cheese for their meals and desert as they finished up.
Waited 20 minutes for a box and a check.
Arrived at 1:45 and departed at 3:17 disappointed.
We went elsewhere for desert.
I cannot complain too much because we were warned. However, slow service is different from poor service. The bill was $88
