My best friend and I celebrated her very special birthday at Mesa de Notte. This was our first visit and we were so very impressed with the food and particularly with the service. James is a professional and gave us impeccable service. This was the best dinner we have enjoyed in years, in large part due to James.
We stopped here for the first time after leaving the Ocala art festival. We were quite pleased. The service was great. We enjoyed good sized, tasty portions. We were too full for desert. We didn't have reservations and were seated rather quickly. I will point out though, this was around 3 PM, so I'm guessing we got in before the dinner crowd started showing up. It might be a good idea to look into reservations to avoid being disappointed. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant.
Amazing Italian food, I haven't had it this good since I was a kid with my Grandma from Italy. Seriously great Chicken Parmesan, sauce is flavorful, cooked to perfection. Drinks were great, service was great without being rushed. Can't wait to go back!
Tonight was my first experience here and I see why they have 4.7 stars. The service is top notch and the atmosphere is Carrabbas but authentic feeling. From the bread with seasoned oil to my chicken parmesan, all the food was phenomenal! Not to mention the chicken was HUGE, it was bigger than my hand by a lot. Will absolutely be back. Joseph was our waiter and I have nothing but compliments. Thank you!!
This restaurant was recommended to us by another bartender. And we’re so glad we got the recommendation. The food is amazing and they have the BEST tiramisu around. Heather is a great bartender!
The food was absolutely delicious and looked amazing! Everyone was so friendly and the service from our waiter Josh was incredible. We are very happy that we found this gem of a restaurant!
Our experience last evening was distinguished by the restaurant’s remarkable dedication.. While celebrating my fiancé’s birthday, an unexpected change in our party size required a relocation outdoors, yet the staff managed the situation with unwavering courtesy and efficiency. Despite the chilly weather, the evening remained thoroughly enjoyable due to the exceptional quality of the food and drinks. The dishes arrived perfectly prepared and served piping hot, and the freshly baked bread was, as always, outstanding. Our waitress provided exemplary service throughout the evening especially with the exception of us having to more further away outdoors. We have introduced numerous friends to this restaurant, and it consistently delivers an exceptional dining experience. Thanks again 😊
The food here is excellent. We enjoyed all 4 dishes we tried. Fantastic service and a good authentic vibe. I attached videos from my YouTube channel so you can see our dining experience there. EverydayLife4u
We had an amazing dinner at Mesa de Notte! I ordered the Chicken Sorrentino, my husband had the ponzu Bustecca , and my son enjoyed the Chicken Parmesan—everything was delicious and full of flavor. The service was 100 out of 10! Our server Estefanía did a wonderful job attentive, friendly, and made our experience even better. Highly recommend this restaurant for a great family dinner! 🍽️✨
Amazing Italian restaurant with incredible food, atmosphere and service. Our server, Joseph, was attentive, friendly and went above and beyond to make our experience over the top. One of our party had a seed oil alergy and Joseph ensured that her dishes were seed-oil free. Food came quickly and was cost comparable to restaurants of same calibre. We highly recommend this restaurant.
