Food was B+. Service was A. Ambiance was neighborhood vibe, lots of carry-out. Easy to find. Lots of close free parking. Close to the casino and hotels. read more

Moved away 9 years ago and have yet to find a place as good as this. We were doing a retro road trip last week, had all of our favorite spots planned out. Ended up here two nights in a row, after considering Schmenkle Stube and Bavarian Inn. Maddie our waitress was on point, personable. We had a great convo our second night since we were closing the place down. Can you open a branch office in Charleston SC. We know food down here. read more

My hubby was craving spaghetti and meatballs so we figured we'd try this place for the first time. The salad was very fresh and crisp. He enjoyed the spaghetti and meatballs. He said the sauce was nice and sweet like he likes it. I had the lasagna it was enough to feed three people, and it was good. We will be back. Service was excellent read more

Some of the best pasta we have had in a long time. Very tasty, great red sauce and awesome service. Even the kids chicken tenders were freshly made in house and were deliciously received by our 5 year old. We will be back read more

The food is nothing to write home about (the garlic knots are standard, the garden salad is nice but not fantastic, and my spinach ravioli was good but swimming in sauce). The best part of this place is the service and the price. It's a sit down restaurant with complementary garlic knots and a garden salad comes with your entree but my total meal was only $13 (before tip). My server was attentive but not overbearing and everyone was friendly. read more

Laughable, but twenty-five dollars later, I'm the punchline! Imitation scallops perfectly round and uniform made of rubber and tasteless tuna thawed to an overcooked perfection. Even the service was terrible and I ordered carry-out. Do BETTER!! Lesson learned. read more

La Mezzaluna Café - Fake Scallops & Frozen Tuna - Italian Near Me - Charles Town, West Virginia

A solid 3.5/5 Italian restaurant choice. It's got the basics along with some interesting chef's specialties like the veal carnivale. The garlic knots were good and the side salad wasn't an overwhelming heap of lettuce. Prices were reasonable but seating is slightly cramped. read more

Good food at a very reasonable price and great service. The people are very friendly.

I've seen this place for years. Stopped in today. Super cozy. Inexpensive lunch which includes bread, nice salad and an entree. Nice little spot and friendly. Seemed to be busy but quiet. read more

everything was reasonably priced and meals came with garlic knots so i was all over it. i ordered the Linguine con Vongole, which is linguine with fresh red or white clam sauce (i got the white). i fear i must report i could not eat it there was more straight garlic in there than pasta and/or clams which was very unfortunate. definitely keeps the vampires away, but not how the dish should be made. in the photo, i took out all of the pasta i could to demonstrate how much freaking garlic was in there. save your money, go somewhere else. update in response to business owner: as the one who was eating just straight chopped garlic, it wasn't clams. thank you! read more

I don't usually leave reviews, but La Mezzaluna deserves it. The bolognese was the best I've ever had. It was rich, flavorful, and clearly slow-simmered. My partner's chicken francese was equally impressive. It was tender with a bright, zesty sauce. Excellent service, too. A+ all around. read more

I'm leaving the Martinsburg area soon and some friends of mine took me to this restaurant last night and from the outside it kind of looks very nondescript almost like something you would not want to go into but I was so impressed with the aroma as soon as I walked in, it smelled like I was in my grandma's Italian kitchen And the food was so good. I didn't even think to take any pictures but trust me when I say it you don't want to pass up going to this place. The server comes over and brings a basket of garlic knots, which are to die for and with your entrée you are given a salad made with Romain lettuce, red onions, cucumbers, and green olives, and the dressing taste just like my mom's salad dressing that she would make with red wine vinegar and olive oil I ordered the veal marsala and the portions are so large, I had to take home a to go box and I can't wait to have it for dinner tonight. My only regret is that I didn't find this place sooner read more

This is some of the best Italian food around with good prices. The red sauce in the lasagna, spaghetti etc. is about perfect along with the garlic bread knots! Luv this place! JH read more

When we sat down, they had served us water and some delicious freshly baked bread. Since my group and I had just finished hiking nearby, it was warmly welcomed. I had their Calamari FraDiavolo, which is a tender squid sautéed in marinara sauce and garnished with fresh clams. It's funny that their menu had "clams" plural since there was only one clam on my dish. I had ordered their spiciest level, and I would definitely recommend that if you like a kick in your meal. It's not too spicy, but it's spicy enough to add flavor to the dish. There was some seafood (squid), but it definitely wasn't plentiful. They had brought us a large bowl of salad for us to share amongst our group also since the meal came with salad. For the price, quantity, and quality of food for the price, 5/5 stars. For the actual taste of the food, 4/5 stars. Hard to say since the price is definitely worth revisting. I wouldn't consider this a date-night place though. read more

Just visited LaMezzaluna Cafe for the first time this evening. The food was great! The service was excellent! Our server, Allison, was outstanding!! I will definitely be back again soon. read more

YUM!!!! We've been here twice and both times walked away extremely stuffed and happy. They provide a basket of warm, soft garlic knots for every table. They are scrumptious. Try to resist eating the whole basket because you'll want to save room for the meal. Tonight I had the spinach ravioli and my husband had the lasagna. He really enjoyed his lasagna but kept digging into my ravioli - it was creamy, flavorful deliciousness! We never order dessert, but decided to stuff ourselves even more by ordering a piece of tiramisu and a cannoli. They have amazing coffee so I ordered a cup to pair with our desserts. It was a little piece of Heaven. The prices are VERY reasonable - especially for the portion sizes and quality of food. This place is 5-star - I just wish we thought to go here more often than we do! read more

We decided to come here for dinner since our favorite steakhouse hasn't opened. We saw this restaurant when we went to a famous Mexican restaurant next door (a while back). This restaurant rearranged their tables pretty far apart. It's a big restaurant so it's easier to work on the sitting layout. We had Lexi as our server. She's sweet and helpful. She's the only one running the show because the tables are not fully occupied. She did day that there're two servers on the weekends. I ordered linguini with shrimp and clams in Fra Diavolo sauce. Hubby has veal and chicken cutlets with shrimp and artichoke. We also got a big house salad to share with our entrees. The garlic knots were very good. The salad was so so. Both my dish and Hubby's entree were quite good. They put a lot of garlic in both dishes but wasn't roasted garlic, just raw garlic that mixed in to the dishes. The garlic wasn't on fire much while cooking so the taste of the garlic was between raw-to-cook level. Anyway, dinner was quite good. The price was very reasonable here. Great service! read more

If you're in the Charles Town area of WV and you're looking for Italian food, you should consider giving LMC a try. They're located in a mini mall right off of the main hwy. They have a good selection of dishes on the menu; not too many and not too few. The ambulance is definitely casual... Although they do try to make this upscale casual. I ordered the fettuccine cacciatore. It was quite good. It wasn't the best Italian food that I've ever had but it hit the spot. It was definitely seasoned for a wide range of pallettes. Be ready to add whatever salt or pepper you like on your pastas. It comes with garlic knots and garden salad. This was definitely a filling meal. It was a solid choice. It's also teaming with locals so you know that the community supports this restaurant. Be sure to give LMC a try. You'll quench you Italian appetite quite nicely. read more

This is a very unassuming place in a strip center. The food, however, was really good and the service was impeccable.

Always have great food. Wine list is just OK. Average wine. That would be the only suggestion to improve on. Service is always fantastic.

Absolutely horrid. Waited 1 hour for a table, they seated 10 groups before us, although we were there before. First come first serve they said. We had 5 people, they would not allow us to sit in a booth or push a table together. No communication, we asked why we couldn't move a table together, they said they would separate us, and that's all they could do. Manager came over when we asked why we couldn't sit at a table or booth (we said we could make it work) and was very rude, and didn't not offer any solution, after we gave 3 solutions. Won't be back. read more

I was exited to go to Mezzaluna but it changed when the young server started our meal describing the star on her face was to keep her from popping her pimples! Ordered the stuffed baked clams( translated from Italian) only to receive a bowl of clam shells filled with an orange gravy made with canned clams. When I questioned the server she replied, "That's how they come. It's not my fault". The seafood salad was bland and the seafood was rubbery and previously vac-packed defrosted. The chicken parmigiana didn't stand a chance because the sauce is not fresh but thick and pasty of the canned variety that's been on the heat too long. I was very disappointed as I had heard good things about this restaurant. Next time I'll go to Olive Garden if I want mediocre Italian (style) food. Good atmosphere and garlic knots. read more

Outstanding food! We came in from NY and NC with family and we had such a great meal. Authentic Italian food and great wait staff. Outstanding! read more

Salad and bread is great! We both loved our meals- rigatoni and egg plant Parmesan Service was great And it made you feel like you were in rome read more

Everything here was honestly awesome! The restaurant is the perfect size..not huge but not crazy small. All the employees were super friendly. The food was excellent, great sizes too. The menu is pretty extensive so there is something for everyone. We will definitely be returning. read more

Food was out of this world. Our server Allison was horrid. She lacks every skill of customer service for a restaurant that there is. The list is way too long for her faults. I would of rather ordered take out then have to be subjected to this server. read more

Stopped in for a glass of wine and two appetizers. Service was good and the cheap wine tasted fine. The garlic knots were wonderful, but the shrimp and clams dish was some of the worst food I've ever had. The salad was good size but they forgot the mozzarella and it had very little flavor. It seemed to be mostly jarred products dumped onto a plate with some olive oil and no seasoning. Very bland. When asked about the mozzarella, we were give 5 tiny little mozzarella balls. I didn't bother complaining, it's clear there is a lack of pride here. read more

We got our order to go tonight and dinner was great! We got the chicken parm & the fettucine duchessa. Both were quite delicious, especially being to go and having to wait after a drive home to eat them! Both items came with side salads. We also got the garlic knots though they were a bit lacking in flavor. We dipped them in our sauce and it made it up for it! We'd go back / order again. read more

The food is good and the ambiance is nice. Thankfully, they don't have screaming children running rampant. Only ate there once, but I would try it again. read more

Food is absolutely incredible! And such a good price for what you get.

I took my wife & daughter here last night for the first time. We were told there would be a wait, which was fine. After ten minutes the couple in front of us was seated. We waited an additional 20-25 minutes for a table after that. We saw at least five open tables. My wife asked the server how much longer we would be waiting. She told us that she didn't know and that they were trying to "clear out" some more tables to get a break. She said there were only three employees working. We ended up leaving and going somewhere else to eat. There were at least five couples waiting behind us for a table. read more

The food was excellent. From the complimentary garlic knots with the marinara (that we requested) to the Eggplant Parm and the special seafood pasta, the food was delicious. The service was a little less than stellar, with far too much time between serving the meal and checking back. Also there was too much time left sitting with no beverage refill. However, neither of these would prevent us from visiting again. read more

La Mezzaluna Café - Garlic knots - Italian Near Me - Charles Town, West Virginia

We love La Mezzaluna. Any other Italian restaurant we try when visiting other areas or on vacation never compares. We always end up slightly disappointed saying "it's okay, but it's not Mezzaluna!" This is my birthday dinner request every year, and has been since I was a little girl. Great place, great staff, amazing food. We love the vodka sauce (best we have ever had) and usually any seafood special they offer. No other Italian restaurant has ever impressed us the way this place has. read more

Was an excellent, filling meal at an exceptionally reasonable price! Especially helpful later hours as all restaurants in Harper's Ferry were closed at 7PM. Service was attentive and kind. Don't miss the vodka cream sauce (even as a dipping side for the amazing garlic knots)!!! read more

The basket of garlic knots is amazing. They are the perfection you are looking for when you sit down. The fried calamari is as good as you can get. The pastas are pretty good, although some of them seem to be drowning in sauce. I had a seafood special last time and the shrimp had a slight iodine taste to them, so I stopped eating it. That was really the big disappointment to me and the reason I didn't leave a four star review. read more
