It was very good. Classic Italian with a very cozy atmosphere. We had the calamari . Which was tender and cooked with out being greasy. I had the Mahi picatta, which was just a little too much lemon for my taste. Wine list was impressive and reasonable. Tiramisu was also very good. staff was friendly and accommodating. read more

Nice little Italian restaurant with very good menu. Not your typical pizza and parm shop, Mesa Notte distinguishes itself with a menu that features traditional Italian cuisine served with style and an attentive staff. Prices are reasonable for the quantity and quality offered. I would suggest making a reservation if you are able as we found it very busy for a Thursday evening. Our little group of foodies plan to return soon! read more

The food was authentic and delicious! The service was outstanding. The overall experience exceeded our expectations!

The food was so good. I ordered the chicken saltimbocca & hubby had the special mahi-mahi francese- my hubby would of liked more lemon in the dish but it was still delish! The portion of fried calamari appetizer was huge! Hubby ordered the hazelnut crepe cake for dessert- not very sweet & delish. Service was excellent! Next time we will get the pasta! read more

Superb atmosphere, food is always good - consistently. Service is always top shelf - highly recommend.

Chrissy was our server and was EXCEPTIONAL. Ill ask for her every time we go in the future. I haven't had service so perfect in the longest time!! She was so thoughtful and attentive to our table plus all the other tables she took care of. I could tell she really made the effort and treated every table as well as she treated us. Food was pretty good. Osso buco fell off the bone and was so flavorful. Risotto actually was a correct risotto which I don't see often. Pasta purse stuffed with pear and cheese was eh and I wouldn't order again. Caesar salad was overdressed. Everything else was tasty. Wish the vodka sauce had more flavor. Wine selection was nice too. Coming from NYC where we have the best Italian- i wasn't expecting outstanding but was very happy with the meal. Would come back again!! read more

Really wonderful hidden gem. Love this place. Service is always top notch. Food is excellent.

Food is great, prices are very reasonable and portions are large, wait staff is friendly and polite

Food was good but a little too salty for my taste. I had the chicken piccata and there were too many capers. The one thing that made the place amazing was the service and ambience. Wait staff were right there and setup was on par to a Queens dinner. Everyone was enjoying themselves and no one was exaggeratingly loud. We will go again and try something different because the menu was extensive. Thank you Mesa de Notte read more

Deliscioso!!! It's usually busy, reservations are a must. Nice atmosphere. But it is loud & can be difficult for quiet conversation at times. The food & service keeps us going back read more

Visiting Crystal River and drive an hour and fifteen minutes to grab takeout from this Italian spot in Ocala. The drive and smell of food on the way back was worth the wait. The braised short rib with risotto with the red wine sauce was fantastic, and the carrot cake is a must have. read more

Great food, great staff, great experience ... every time! I often take visiting customers to Mesa de Notte and it is always a hit.

Wonderful Italian food in Ocala. My friends took me here while I was visiting, them raving about how good of Italian food it is. Well...my foodie taste buds from San Diego were pleasantly surprised at how delectable each dish was. They have a vast menu of options including daily specials. I enjoyed one of their pasta dishes, layered with sauteed vegetables and panchetta with soft perfectly cooked noodles. Perfect blend of sweet and savory. Their wine menu was decent and certainly enjoyed their cocktail menu! Make sure to make a reservation. Although it may not look like much from the outside, it was a full house on a Friday night. You can tell this is where the locals go! read more
