My favorite Italian restaurant in Princeton, NJ. This is the 3rd time I’ve been here, and the quality of their food is always amazing! So tasty, fresh and worth the price. Their bread was also perfect not too hard & not too soft perfect with olive oil. My favorite dishes were the Truffle Gnocchi, Vodka Rigatoni, Penne( for pastas) and everything I ordered was vegetarian. Another dish that I tasted last time was cannelloni vegetariani which was good as well. Fancy/clean restaurant. The waiter was also very polite and friendly.

We went here for work dinner. Service was good part. However good was average (this 3 star). We had calamari which was over fried and dry. I had lamb chops for mains. Nuts crusted lamb chops were cooked well but flavor was average. Desserts were ok too. Overall, average experience.

Very cozy intimate Italian restaurant. The food tasted very fresh and not too greasy which is hard to find these days. The bread was phenomenal

Their Rigatoni Alla Vodka is incredible! I haven’t tried anything else but I’ve been coming back for 10 years just for that dish. Exceptional staff as well – very friendly.

This has to be one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had. The service is beyond incredible, friendly staff that are also super attentive in everything they do. I came with my family to celebrate my birthday and I had no expectations coming in as I only heard about it through a family friend. I only came here once and I am definitely coming here again. Phenomenal food that also came out on time to absolute perfection. I gotta find time to come here again. If anyone who works here, keep up the amazing work that you do. Thank you and I hope come here again soon.

La Mezzaluna is quite a gem in downtown Princeton. Not only does it offer great food it also is a BYOB, one of the very few in town. We had an early reservation because we were attending a performance at McCarter that evening so we were able to snag one of the tables in front making for great people watching on busy Witherspoon Street. By the time we left at 7:15 the place was packed.

This food was amazing! The bread was really delicious and fresh and warm. Served with some garlic oil, yum! Went here on an anniversary date with my boyfriend and loved it. The staff is amazing and it is authentic.

Decent dining experience. Service was friendly, but a little slow (took them 10 minutes to give us our menus). Food was pretty tasty, but I didn’t think it was worth the price. Salad was a little bland as well, but the complementary bread was good.

I took my girlfriend here for her birthday and we loved It. The food is delicious, great customer service, we were seated immediately, and the service is quick. Before we finished appetizers main course meal was already on the table.
