Mezzaluna is one of our go-to spots in Fargo when my wife and I want a nice date night. We probably make it there 2-3 times a year, and the food and service have always been consistently great. The bison meatballs and crab cakes are our favorite appetizers. I usually get the lobster fettuccine, and my wife typically gets some kind of chicken dish. Everything we've had has been delicious. Service is always fast, attentive, and friendly as well. I also really like the atmosphere. It's nice and feels upscale, but it's not stuffy or overly formal. My only minor complaint is that I'm a big eater and wouldn't mind bigger portions, but that's certainly never stopped us from coming back. If you're looking for a nice date-night restaurant in Fargo with consistently great food, Mezzaluna is definitely one of our favorites. read more

Food: My husband and I went for the first time for anniversary dinner. We did the 3 course meal with wine pairings! Amazing food and great wine. It was fun and we got to try a lot of the menu! I would 100% recommend to anyone looking for a place to celebrate or just wanting good food!! Service: The servers routinely stopped by to bring our next course. Our main server was there at the perfect time to check in on how everything was tasting and getting our waters topped off. Overall everyone was also just friendly! Ambiance: While the atmosphere is on the more fancy side - there was still a causal essence to the place. A lot seating options for groups, couples wanting date night, people wanting just drinks, or those looking to stop in for a quick happy hour bite! read more

Great experience. My first time to Fargo was very enjoyable thanks to my evening at Mezzaluna. The staff was very pleasant at the bar. Food was very good. The beef tartar had tarragon it which is unusual for me. I love tartar but hate tarragon. I still tried it. I ate most of it but it was not my favorite combination. But there must be some that enjoy it. read more

While away for work a group of us decided to go out on a weeknight to celebrate a colleague's birthday so Mezzaluna came highly recommended. Mezzaluna is located in the downtown area of Fargo. So here's the summary: Parking: There is ample free street parking, which I'm definitely not used to having in LA. Entrance & Ambiance: It was a little tricky to find the entrance. You have to walk down a long hallway to get to the restaurant. The ambiance is very lively, dimly lit, spacious. Pricing: prices were affordable and what you would expect from a nice Italian restaurant Menu selection: good selection for meat eaters and vegetarians but sadly not for vegans/non-dairy eaters Service: our servers were great! All in all, it was a nice option and the sorbet was delicious! I know it's the Midwest so I can't expect a ton of vegan options; however, it would be nice to have more than 1 option. read more

I come to Fargo every month, and I make it a point to visit Mezzaluna whenever I'm in town. They have never disappointed me. The food is consistently excellent, the hospitality is outstanding, and all the staff- shout out to -Justin and Tyler always make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The ambiance is amazing! I'm from San Francisco, where there are plenty of great restaurants, and I can honestly say that Mezzaluna is amazing. It's one of the highlights of my trips to Fargo, and I highly recommend it. read more

Mezzaluna - Pork Lion-it was very flavorful and delicious. - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Best five star restaurant in North Dakota. The food is of the highest quality. The service is what you would expect from a five star restaurant. The ambience is glamorous with ceiling chandeliers. You will spend $200 for two people, but the experience is well worth it. read more

Absolutely wonderful service and a creative menu that is simply outstanding. My wife and I dine there about once a month and the staff are amazing. The atmosphere is great and the bar and dining areas are comfortable and well appointed. read more

We heard nothing but great things about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. It's beautiful inside! Very elegant and modern. I had the sweet potato gnocchi and it was delicious! My husband loved the Wagu zabuton and my friend also enjoyed the smash burger. You should definitely order the beef tartar as an appetizer! They also gave us an intermezzo between our appetizer. We sat at a bar table without a reservation on a Thursday night. It started to fill up later on so I would suggest a reservation. Service was spot on from start to finish. If you go to the bathroom downstairs check out the storage room! read more

Staff were awesome and they catered to our questions and described the burgers we wanted to try. All in all a great experience. We had fun.

Food- top notch. Ambience- can't be beat. Cocktails- you'll keep them coming. Mezzaluna has long been a favorite. So much so we had our wedding reception there. If you aren't as adventurous- try the burger. It's beyond good! read more

In Fargo for an overnight and Mezzaluna came highly recommended! For the most part it lived up to the hype. Ambiance was great, romantic and fun. The waitress did a wonderful job and was friendly to talk to. We had the following things: seared sea scallops - scallops were VERY tender and delicious. The colors on the plate were vibrant and incredible. My husband loved the romesco sauce - I wasn't as much of a fan. shrimp and grits - WOW. Would 100% go back for this. The grits were seasoned extremely well, shrimp was tender. Very flavorful dish. wagyu zabuton - YUM. Cooked perfectly. The crust on the steak was great and so tender. Sauce was wonderful and flavorful. Will definitely get this again. salmon - This was the server's recommendation and unfortunately the sauce was the exact same as the scallops, which made it a bit redundant. This was the most disappointing dish. The parsnips were overcooked and limp. roasted beets - These came cold and were delicious. There were a LOT of beets. Way too many for 2 people, but this would be a great dish to share with others. earl grey panna cotta - YUM. I don't know how they get the earl grey flavor but it was perfect. I thought there was a bit too much whipped cream and I would have loved a citrus element! Would definitely go back and would recommend it as a very fancy date in Fargo! read more

I went to Mezzaluna this past Saturday night with some girlfriends. The host was super friendly and recommended we stop by the Drawing Room (speakeasy) attached to the restaurant during our wait. He came down to get us in person when a table opened, which felt so personal and kind! Once seated, we ordered both our apps and entrees at the same time and the waitress said she would course them out for us. We started with the burrata as well as the crispy brussel sprouts. Both were SO GOOD! The burrata had a sweet sauce with it. The brussels were crispy and flavorful and some of the best we had all had! Our experience went a bit downhill after the apps. It took around an hour for our main dishes to come out after the apps were served, and there was no communication or acknowledgement from the waitress about the delay. They did bring out a little palate cleanser (apple cinnamon sorbet) about 30 min between apps and mains. Once the food finally arrived, we were sort of not even hungry anymore. I did think the chicken entree was super good, especially the potato purée! The lemon pepper fries with the burger were a hit and the burger was cooked well. The walleye and wild rice was also a good pick. So all in all, we did enjoy the food but the restaurant needs to work on timing and communication. read more

The service at Mezzaluna is outstanding!! From the greet at the door to table service was fantastic. Our server was absolutely darling and had wonderful recommendations. The restaurant has a beautiful ambience. A great mix of vintage and modern. I wish I had taken a picture of the food, but I was simply enjoying the time there. We started with the fingerlings. We both ordered the wagyu. It came cooked to perfection. The mashed potatoes were probably dropped from heaven. The s'mores dessert was delicious and a perfect way to end the meal. I truly enjoyed this experience. I cannot wait to go back. I highly recommend. *Sidenote the bread before dinner was delightful and I could have eaten my body weight of it. read more

I went on New Years Eve for their special 7 course menu. It's one star and the main two reasons are: 1) The "butter poached lobster" was mushy. This means it was not fresh and going bad 2) "Wagyu Zabuton" was absolutely not Wagyu. It was as chewy as hanger steak I could go into more detail but it was such an embarrassing way to spend NYE and over $300 (I ordered scallops and baked brie a la carte as well) and enough of my time and money has already been wasted. Will not ever dine here again, and no amount of ambiance or good service (which neither were great or worthy of mention regardless) could make up for having soggy food and falsely advertising. read more

Mezzaluna is consistently great since it opened. The space has also been great since it was Silver Moon Super Club. I don't really know why I haven't wrote a review until now, mostly because it should be clear by now how good this place is to everyone. Tonight though I was inspired to write a review finally because of the great service. Nicole (sp?) was great and made the whole experience even better. We started our meal with the Elote Salad which was very tasty and had a great kick to it. We had the burger and truffle fries which were great. We also had the pork ballotine which was tasty but could probably use a bit more spice to complete the Thai feel of the dish. It was just missing a little kick in my wife and I's opinion. If you are questioning going here just do it. read more

Upon arriving the hosts were extremely friendly and welcoming. Our dinner was very disappointing. We ordered the steak tartare, burrata, and lamb bolognese. The steak tartare and burrata tasted like someone dumped salt into them. The lamb bolognese was dry and I would not recommend. Drinks were decent. We were charged for extra bread for our burrata which was tacky considering we didn't order extra bread. Wouldn't go back- maybe it's overhyped or maybe we ordered all the wrong things. read more

I stayed the weekend in Fargo and was looking for a special place to have dinner with my sweetheart - found Mezzaluna and it looked like a very nice, high-end restaurant with an great selection. Calling ahead a couple of days to make a reservation I asked if they could have a bouquet of flowers on the table when I got there. The host delivered - when we arrived, the host recognized me from when I called and took us to the table and there was a beautiful bouquet of flowers waiting for us. Can't say enough about this type of service. The food and drink choices were all excellent. For dinner, you can order off the menu, normal courses, or order a special 3- or 4-course menu together as two. We decided to order separately and not the 3- or 4-course meal. The salads we ordered were excellent - the dinners we had were amazing, taste, presentation and portions were spot on. At this point, we were full - but we ordered two separate desserts which they packed up for us. As we were leaving they took the nice bouquet and placed it in the original package from the florist so we could take it with us. Definitely a place I'll go back next time I'm in Fargo. Sorry I didn't take pictures. read more

Probably the best food in Fargo. Would easily stand up in any big city in the US. Was super disappointed I had to cancel my reservation this weekend. As always staff were super understanding. Booked my "makeup" dinner today. Super excited for it. Can't wait to eat the food. read more

Incredible dinner at Mezzaluna tonight. Our hipster server was beyond awesome - I wish I could remember his name! We did the four course tasting menu.

Mezzaluna - Martinis and dinner at Fargo's Mezzaluna bar seating. - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Since it is my fiance and i's tradition to try the most fanciest restaurant in each state, i discovered Mezzaluna as the fanciest restaurant in Fargo, ND. When making a reservation through their site, depending on the number of people you bring along, you can only book a certain time. You dont need to book so much ahead of time, unless there is a specific time you are looking for. You can book the day before even when booking for a Saturday night. For up to 4 people, you can pick any time between 5 pm to 8:45 pm. For more than 4 people, you can only pick 8:30 pm or 8:45 pm. Due to this we sadly had one decide to opt out and have 4 of us rather than 5. Its interesting because in those booths, we surely can fit more than 4 people or just have 3 in the booth and then two in the seats in front of us. For drinks, we ordered mai tais, a palisades, and margaritas. The margarita for the night had a raspberry taste and you couldnt taste much of the tequila. The palisades was my favorite. You can taste a bit of vodka but the cucumber taste made it a bit sour to my liking. The mai tais were strong in alcohol. If you didnt mix the drink around, you wouldnt have much taste to it. For main entree, my fiance and I ordered the Bacon Wrapped Bison Meatloaf. Having Bison for the first time, I can say it tastes like a meatball, but much more of a different meatier taste. My fiance says it reminds him of a turkey meatball, but with a tangier better taste. My uncle in law ordered the Halibut, which he noted was a nice smooth taste. Not dry at all. My aunt in law ordered the Mezz Burger. She loved the many options to choose from for fries (rosemary, truffle, garlic, and regular). She chose the rosemary, but didnt like all the extra salt added. The burger tasted juicy but noted she would rather have the Halibut next time. I recommend the Bison if you have never tried it before. If you have before, I recommend the Halibut with a nice taste. For dessert, we had chocolate cake with pistachios. I'm a huge fan of that nut... so a good mix with some good rich chocolate was satisfying. My fiance, uncle in law, and I had most of the cake. My aunt in law didnt like how sweet it was so she was only able to take a few bites. Overall, we all said we would come back here again. We even found a future date night for his uncle and aunt. read more

The ambiance was excellent, I love their crystal chandelier. We started with their scallops, which were insane. This is a MUST ORDER appetizer. So delicious! We had the wagyu denver steak. The potato puree it came with was amazing. The flavor of the wagyu steak was excellent but the meat was a little tough, which was disappointing. For dessert we had the flourless chocolate cake and the matcha-lemongrass creme brulee. Both were delicious! I love matcha and creme brulee so I was the combination made me very pleased. I still dream about it. read more

Highly recommend. Be sure to get reservations. Started off with drinks. Golden Peach Fizz and a rum sour. Both drinks were very good. Our server was great, service was on point and she knew the menu well and answered all questions. The decor is very nice, looks very fancy, upscale. You will fit in well with a collared shirt. Appetizer: crispy brussels enough to share, very rich but the apple paired nice.. salad & soup: butter lettuce salad with apple vinaigrette was good. Cup of beet soup was amazing, almost licked the cup ;-). Main course was shrimp and grits best we've ever had!. Steak with Chimichurri and potato were very flavorful. Glass of Cabernet was good. Highly recommend, you won't be dissappinted. read more

Let me start by saying if you don't know to look at Yelp first when you're going to a new city, you really should. My first trip to Fargo commenced yesterday and seeing that Mezzaluna was the #1 rated restaurant by Yelp, I made a reservation for dinner here shortly after arriving in Fargo. First impression is that it's got a great vibe. It's in an older building on the main level and has tall ceilings, lots of dark wood accents and some really cool light fixtures that appear to be made out of wine glasses. This has nothing to do with the food, but it's a very welcoming atmosphere and despite the place being full, it was easy to carry on a conversation at our table. So even before any food was served, I was already appreciating the path Yelp had put us on. Service was friendly and attentive. Not pushy, yet our server was knowledgeable about the menu and checked in on us appropriately throughout the meal. We were given a serving of rolls with our starter salads that I assume are made there. A simple but nice touch. We all started with the butter lettuce and frisee salad, topped with apples, blueberries and toasted pepitas. This was a perfect starter. Fresh and flavorful but not too much, yet a good sized portion at the same time. I went with the special, which was a cornmeal crusted striped bass on a bed of dirty rice with blistered tomatoes and an avocado crema. My wife had the seared walleye and my daughter had the duck breast. All three of us were very happy with our entree selections and had no trouble finishing them. We enjoyed our meals with a bottle of Seghesio Zinfandel, which was reasonably priced. Wine selection is modest but sufficient and prices were reasonable. While sufficiently satiated from our meal, we elected to split a dessert, which was a piece of flourless chocolate cake topped with a salted caramel sauce. First impression was that it looked like it was on the small side but this was so rich that we could barely finish it despite three of us attacking it with our forks. It proved a perfect ending to an incredible meal. My first night in Fargo will be fondly remembered thanks to this excellent dining experience. read more

Gone are the scallop booths replaced by high back booths which can seat more people. Menu remains the same. The pork belly roulade is wonderful. The red cabbage is soft but yet still has a body and not overly sour. The butter cup lettuce salad is a bit bland for my taste however. Rolls instead of crusty baguette remind me of Thanksgiving just days away. I wish they had small servings of pasta as one of the courses instead of only main dish portions. read more

I was in town for the marathon, and I wanted a good steak and nice environment to relax after a long day. Living in Houston, I have a sense of the expectation of grabbing a solid steak at 7pm at the bar. Unfortunately, I sat at the bar when there were a bunch of guys sitting at the bar just drinking, and the bartender was accommodating to just them. It was quite the "bro" fest, and I felt like I was more at a frat party than a high end restaurant. Maybe my expectations were too high. My waitress was solid, but the overall feel at the bar was less than what I would expect at this type of restaurant. When I spoke to the manager, the response was, "oh, it was too much", referring to the bro vibe at the bar. I will not be back, and so it might not matter, but it was a missed opportunity for this place to be better. read more

Quality food and great service, but what would you expect from a high-end dining experience? The dining surroundings are rustic to some degree.

This is my favorite dining in Fargo. I order a variety of items each time I eat there, which is once or twice a month. A lovely atmosphere for meeting up with friends.

This review is only for the happy hour (in the "Alleyway Bar")...and what a happy hour it was. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that many would not expect much from a restaurant in such a small, isolated town in North Dakota, but as it turns out, Mezzaluna delivers tasty high quality dishes that are on par with highly respected restaurants in much larger cities. If you are passing through Fargo, you owe it to yourself to give this place a try. Here's what we loved about our experience: 1) The drinks: we had an assortment of cocktails, and while I totally forgot the names of any of them (which is ok, because the happy hour drinks seem to change frequently), they were all really, really good. At around $7 each, they were also a great value. 2) The food: everything we had was amazing. I will start out with the "bruschetta," which should really be labeled as a charcuterie plate, as that's how it's presented (quite few different meats and assorted roasted/picked veggies, plus some bread)...whatever it's called on the menu, it's absolutely amazing. We also really enjoyed the walleye tacos (also super yummy), the seared tuna (a smaller dish but also really tasty), and the happy hour burger + sweet potato tots (absolutely HUGE for $7.50). 3) The service: very attentive without being overbearing. Food and drinks came super quickly. 4) The atmosphere: really nice (a great place for a date...and be sure to dress up at least in business casual attire to fit in) and comfy. 5) The prices: I don't even think our entire bill came to $60 with tax and tip, which we were absolutely floored about considering we walked out super full, a bit tipsy, and really happy. All in all, a great value. Happy hour is 5-6pm Tuesday-Saturday (yes, it's Friday and Saturday too!). Give it a try! read more

Perfect, love this restaurant for special occasions, too! Food and service is always good and a calm atmosphere.

Consider Mezzaluna for your last meal, ever... or a celebration meal, no matter what, this meal is the alpha and omega of meals as everything else after Mezzaluna will be a dull assault to your pallet. I was in town for a girls' weekend, and my best friend had this place on her list of "must do" while I was in town. The location is on a side street of the down/town main street area. Though not "hidden" Mezzaluna sorta pops up on you as you walk by, allowing patrons to feel as if they have discovered a secret. In a repurposed building, that looks to have been some sort of business building (maybe a bank or something) the giant side window allows a voyeuristic peek into the kitchen. Down a corridor, the double doors open welcomingly to the host stand, and bar. The bar area is an homage to art deco. The whole place exudes a 1920s meets speakeasy vibe. Elaborate blown glass halos the bar, high four tops flank one side, beyond lies a larger dining area, as the other side is flanked by steps leading to a more intimate dining area. We were seated in the semi private smaller dining area, which gave us an elevated view of the bar and dining area. The service was top notch during our meal. Starters: a wonderful play on pierogi, the fried dough and filling were paired with a side of pork belly and sunny side up egg. Mixing the sauce with the egg and pork juice with the fried pierogi, heavenly, and the only way to avoid licking the plate (which is really what I wanted to do). Curried cauliflower: earthy cauliflower spiced up with curry. Warming and healthy. Cheese board: Presentation was spot on. Three cheeses with differing personalities served along side nuts, caper berries, fruit, bread, dried fruit all supported by a bed of green lentils. The lentils were surprising and quite tasty. Carbonara with chanterelles: A Chef creation. All other Cabonara's need not apply. A velvety sauce caressed the pasta, while meaty chanterelles playfully peaked though, delighting the eyes and tastebuds. I am forever ruined for all other Carbonaras. Strawberry rhubarb tart with a rose ice finishing off our meal. Tart and tangy, on a bead of pastry cream. The rose ice, cool and bright, cleans the pallet between each bite. We enjoyed our meal with beer and an old fashioned. It was a perfect meal. read more

My husband and I absolutely LOVED our experience at Mezzaluna! If we ever come back to Fargo, we will come back! We got there a little early, so our table wasn't quite ready but we were able to grab a couple seats at the bar. We didn't have to wait long, and our table was ready before my drink was, so they brought it to me at our table. We each had an old fashioned that were delicious! My husband ordered the scallops as an appetizer and loved them so much he finished them before I got a picture! For dinner, he for the duck, and I got the filet. Both were excellent. Not sure why we'd be back in Fargo again, but if we are we will be here! read more
