La Mezzaluna

Kind of an underwhelming storefront in an otherwise very picturesque Princeton. Otherwise, very intimate and close seating inside. Make sure to ask about the chefs specials because many people from my party tried the special dishes! The vodka chicken parm was incredible! The chicken cutlets were perfectly thin and crispy, the vodka sauce was creamy, yet light and spicy. Served over a bed of al dente linguini, this was a very filling and tasty dish! Good prices, and another great BYOB spot, so make sure to bring your favorite wine to pair with some great Italian food!

I took my daughter to check out this place for a get together for my office since they trust in my food taste. It was pretty empty when we got there and for a moment I thought it was closed and I was about to leave because nobody was there to sit us down. The young waitress was very nice but the food wasn’t that great. I had the risotto and it was too salty. The pork meat was not crispy enough and made it repulsive when bitting into it. The pesto fettuccine wasn’t bad, and we shared a tiramisu which was delicious. The main issue I had was the abrupt way of this older heavy man who came to the table to drop the bill on the table and without even saying hello just say, “ whatever you are ready” and left. Very rude. There goes my recommendation for my office for their upcoming event. Not impressed.

I feel quite bad giving such a low rating because the service was lovely, but the food really didn't appeal to my dining companion and I. We left after the appetizers. My companion ordered their appetizer special. The sausage could have done with some sauce, since it's naturally dry. I like that there's a bit of spice in it, and found it tasted better with some added freshly ground pepper. I think the spinach could have been blanched a tad more, as it was still somewhat bitter. The cheese and peppers were standard. Overall, some extra glaze or sauce for extra flavor would have been great. The truffle gnocchi appetizer which I ordered was fairly standard and had the minimum amount of sauce. It was good, but not great. For the mains, I'm afraid there just wasn't anything that really spoke to us. That may very well be our own pickiness, but the mains selection just felt rather boring for a sit-down restaurant. Some of the sandwiches could do for a quick lunch, but this is meant to be a proper restaurant rather than a cafe. The atmosphere was nice, and the service was lovely - our servers were very friendly and attentive - but unfortunately, the food just didn't cut it.

One of my favorites on Nassau and criminally underrated. The service is delightful. The bread is warm and tender. The rigatoni with vodka sauce (not pictured but I have had it 2 times) is life changing. The setting is intimate and quiet. What more can you ask for?

Food was delicious and amazing. Totally recommend. Waiter was very nice and personable.

It's BYO but the wine store next door is really good and nicely priced. Met the owner there shopping for himself. The food was spectacular. I had the rack of lamb. I tasted the osso buco. Tried the pasta as well. All of it was spot on, especially the meat. The service was good and the atmosphere was a click up without being stuffy. Clean, comfortable, overall a winner.

We had an excellent meal and service. Restaurant was recommended by a local. We shared eggplant rollatini, a very fresh green salad with a lemon dressing, and we each had a main dish - the chicken marsala and the chicken parm. Especially loved the sauce on the marsala. The portions of the main dishes were very large and I wish we had shared one so that I could have ordered dessert. A beautiful meal.

Great place to enjoy authentic Italian food. Ravioli is a recommended dish. Good for vegetarian folks too as there are few veg options.
