Coastal Italian cuisine featuring crudo, pasta, and creative cocktails












































"Bar Mezzana’s coastal Italian menu emphasizes impossibly fresh seafood crudos and feels light and fresh while still offering an excellent dinner and lively evening scene." - Todd Plummer

"A coastal-Italian breath of fresh air in the Ink Block neighborhood, this South End spot from Chef Colin Lynch highlights light, seasonal Italian flavors with house-made rosemary and onion focaccia, crudo selections such as tuna with roasted fennel aioli, apples and pistachios or yellowtail with grapefruit and pickle chili, and dishes like grilled octopus with hazelnut romesco that let high-quality seafood shine." - Todd Plummer, Shannon McMahon


"The crudos are a must at coastal Italian restaurant Bar Mezzana, followed by the grilled octopus with hazelnut romesco and seafood ravioli. The same team is also behind other neighborhood hot spots Black Lamb, tropical cocktail knockout Shore Leave and its hidden, nine-seat sushi restaurant No Relation." - Erika Adams

"Head over to Bar Mezzana, an Italian restaurant in the Ink Block, when you’re in the mood for a great crudo, like Scottish salmon with Thai basil pesto or yellowtail with grapefruit and pickled chili. But settle in for the fresh pasta dishes and larger format seafood options, like octopus and mussels, and gelato for dessert." - dan secatore

"It’s all about the lobster paccheri, folks. But also any other pasta dish, any crudo, and it should not be an option to leave without ordering dessert. Just order the whole menu at Bar Mezzana, which features coastal Italian cuisine." - Erika Adams
