We've held many parties there in the past and they never fail to exceed our expectations. Again, I can't say enough good things about this place. It's a gem. If you were thinking about having a private party, this is the place to do it!

Anticipating a busy Valentine's Day dinner on Saturday, my wife and I decided to "observe"…read moreValentine's the day prior with an early dinner at Mesa de Notte. We made a reservation for 3 PM but when we arrived, it didn't look like a reservation was needed since there were a few empty tables. Our server presented us their menu, with a Valentine's Day special menu insert. We already checked out their menu online so we pretty much knew what we wanted to order. We started with the Calamari Fritto ($17). Reading how their Maiale Osso Buco ($32) is their standout menu item, that's what I ordered. My wife was going to order off the regular menu but pivoted to the Ravioli di Aragosta ($35) upon seeing the special menu. We were served freshly baked rolls topped with toasted garlic and accompanied by an olive oil dipping sauce. That was yummy. The calamari was well prepared, flavorful, tender and not rubbery. My wife liked her ravioli, commenting how the pasta was perfectly cooked. It was accompanied by 5 pieces of large shrimp. My dish lived up to the billing as their best dish! One of the wait staff even commented how it's the best dish on the menu. Tender and juicy meat accompanied by creamy, well seasoned risotto. The portions were also quite generous that I had to take some leftovers home. Oh yeah, like any good restaurant, the wait staff puts your leftovers in a container instead of diners having to do so themselves. Always appreciated! Service was on point and the ambience was equally nice...although located along Silver Springs Blvd/Hwy 40, traffic noise can be heard inside. Dinner for 2 came out to just under $120 with tip. We'll be back.

There was only one waitress, she was very helpful and attentive. We ordered the bruschetta appetizer it was good but wish the bread was crispier. The meals came with either a soup or salad. Caesar salad was okay and the lobster bisque was really great. We ordered the lobster ravioli with shrimp it was delicious. My husband ordered the Filet Mignon with Scallops and pasta. Since we were celebrating our anniversary they provided us a complimentary dessert which we chose the Kentucky Bourbon Pecan Pie.

We gave it a solid 5 stars for the ambiance and service. The server was busy but consistently ensured that we had everything we needed. We ordered a variety of dishes, including Chicken Milano, Lasagna, and Lobster Ravioli. While none of the dishes were particularly bad, they also didn't stand out as exceptional. We'd give food a 3-star rating overall. We'll definitely be back to try again, understanding that dining experiences can vary greatly depending on the staff and kitchen. The restaurant did enough right to warrant another visit. I highly recommend giving it a try as well.

Seems the pastas are the star of the show here so I tried the bolognese with a side ceasar to start. We were served crusty bread with a tasty dipping sauce. While my husband was enjoying finishing up his salad, our entree's came out. I took 1 star off my review bc of this. Never should entree's come out while eating your first course - this really turned me off & I let the bartender know! My bolognese had a base of vodka sauce & was very tasty & a plentiful portion.

The chicharrón de pescado did not come with any salsa criolla or salsa tártara. The fish was dry. If they came with the excuse that this was fusion with French or Italian food--PLEASE.
