Mezzaluna is arguably the best food and service in the Fargo metro area. I have enjoyed every meal, appetizer, and beverage I have ordered here. read more

3 stars based on the service and salmon - quite disappointing and subpar. Buffalo meatloaf average, lacking flavor as if it was frozen. Scallops, Italian potato soup were amazing and saved the day. Creme brûlée for dessert still had the crust from the one below it stuck to bottom from being stacked in the fridge. Had higher expectations from reviews. I'll just blame Trump and Covid, read more

Beautiful. Kind Staff. Very good food... Amazing generosity to moms on Mother's Day with a surprise red rose for each of us and didn't rush us as we continued to enjoy the atmosphere and company read more

Wonderful! Probably the nicest/best dinner we had in Fargo. My husband and I got the filet, and my son got the bison meatloaf. Everyone's food was cooked perfectly, and the sides were delicious. read more

Why is this rated 4.5 star? This place is a 10 no other rating , outstanding amazing wonderful . I had dinner last night. Service and food best ever. My server had a real smile, a real smile, she was happy to serve, how refreshing. The food is original and just a show stopper. Taste was wonderful. My dining experience was the best one in my life. Fargo folks are so lucky to have this amazing enterprise in their town. read more

We have come here two years in a row for our anniversary. We would have come more but we never seem to make it when we're downtown for the night!Me and my fiance absolutely love this place. The food is wonderful, the service is exceptional. If you go after 9pm they have happy hour specials, half apps and select beers and drinks. Also, that bread pudding is to die for. read more

Enjoyable food, and great service. I love the vibe of the place.

We occasionally have high-value business partners come into Fargo and like to finish our meetings with a great dinner. We used to spread that business around town but have moved those dinners exclusively to Mezzaluna. Not only is the food impressive, but you won't find better service anywhere in town. If you're looking for a great experience and want to make an impression, Mezzaluna will not disappoint. read more

The food has always been great but the bartender has been rude. He gets mad then starts throwing everything around on the floor and throwing plates which really hurts the ear and ruins the atmosphere. Instead of providing good service, he just prefers to tell the girls how much he works out and show off his tattoos. I felt like a burden multiple times. Otherwise it is always a great spot to celebrate anything or take advantage of their happy hour. read more

I came here in October for my birthday celebration. I think the food here is delicious and affordable :P The ambiance is very pleasant and it's great for a date night :) The servers were very nice and attentive throughout. I am definitely coming back! read more

Best mushroom soup I have ever tasted. The decor wasn't the best, and I am not sure how clean the dining room was, but the food was excellent and the wait staff did their job really well. read more

Perfect New Years Eve! Fantastic Food & service are for a fantastic night! Philip was our server and he provided spot on service. We had Beef Wellington and Shrimp Newberg for dinner. Each meal was done perfectly to each of our liking. If you are looking for a fantastic meal and excellent service, Mezzaluna is it! read more

I love this place! I had the best meals in Fargo in this restaurant. Everything in the menu is well crafted and made to perfection. I have been to this place at least 20 times and will continue to return. read more

Excellent. We added a person to our reservation and it was handled w/o fuss. We had great food and wonderful service. The duck carbonara was yummy. All good. read more

Stopped in prior to a large concert at the Fargodome on Saturday night. We tried to make a reservation earlier in the week but due to a number of events happening in the area there weren't any available. We arrived promptly upon opening and quickly made our way to the bar. Our group of 4 ordered a variety of appetizers, drinks, and entrees. Everything we had was delicious. Prices are a little steep but it is to be expected in this sort of establishment. The food and service was worth the prices. I ordered the filet mignon at $36 and it was fantastic. If you are there for Happy Hour which is 5-6pm and 9-11pm Tues thru Sat appetizers, soup, and salads are half off. read more

Great service. Fun atmosphere. Loved the pasta and grilled cheese dishes. Nice for groups or dates.

Went to Mezzaluna for my husbands birthday and it's by far the best meal we've had in Fargo! Beautiful atmosphere, great drinks, and amazing food! It's definitely spendy- $100 before tip (2 drinks, 2 meals, 1 dessert) and will probably only be a place we visit on special occasions but it was worth it! My husband had the midsummer melon drink & I had the rough draft margarita- both were so light and refreshing. For dinner I had the balsamic New York strip steak (cooked medium well) and it's quite possibly the best steak I've had. So flavorful and cooked exactly how I like! My husbands walleye was great as well! For dessert we split the white chocolate bread pudding and it was the perfect ending to our meal! Olivia was also a great server! read more

Delicious food and a wonderful and warm atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit whenever you're in Fargo.

I've been wanting to try Mezzuluna ever since it opened back in 2012; well, my wife and I finally got our opportunity to the other night, and what an experience it was! Mezzaluna is located in a 100-year old building, right off of Broadway, in downtown Fargo. I was anticipating some issues getting inside (my wife is in a wheelchair), but I was relieved to find out that a back entrance to the building is sloped. We made a reservation for 9:00 PM on a Wednesday, thinking that the place wouldn't be as busy. Well, it didn't exactly work out that way; thank goodness I had the sense enough to call ahead with a reservation! They had a table reserved for us with a chair already removed (for my wife), and I thought that was pretty cool. I could tell this place prided itself on its wait staff, as well as their food and drink. I had heard rumors that their bar staff was legendary, and they certainly didn't disappoint! I had a Summit on tap with dinner, and a JoDo Sour (their version of a Whiskey Sour) after dinner. My wife wanted a martini, but none of the ones on their drink menu interested her. Our waitress suggested that we let the head bartender "make her something that wasn't on the menu". "Sure; why not" was my wife's reply. That guy is an alcohol wizard! He made her a Strawberry Basil (whatever the heck that is), and she insisted I try it; I have to admit, it was pretty tasty! It kind of reminded me of a mojito, but it had strawberries and basil in there, so it was different enough to not be confused. Our appetizer was their Sweet Potato-Pork Belly Hash. You know how everyone says, "Bacon makes everything better"? Bacon is the stuff you scrape off the bottom of your trash cans compared to pork belly! The hash also has a fried egg and maple-balsamic syrup on top of it; it was, in a word, Nirvana. For our main entrees, my wife had the Pistachio Encrusted Rack of Lamb w/ Orange and Mint Gremolata, and I had the Grilled Duck Breast & Leg Confit with Lingonberry-Pecan Preserves. Everything was amazing, and I can't truly put into words just how good it was! For dessert, we tried a couple of their dessert bites (Crème Brulee and Espresso Chocolate Cake). What is a dessert bite you ask? It's exactly what it sounds like; two or three bites of said dessert, served out of a shot glass. I guess I'm just used to the six-dollar, "Death by Chocolates" of the world, but you pay for quality here, not quantity. Speaking of which, be ready to plop down some serious coin for the stuff here. It's totally worth it, but I would only suggest this place for a special event (anniversary, birthday, etc.). I've heard their Happy Hour is one of the best in town, so we'll probably go there for that the next time we decide to go here. Either way, Mezzaluna is one of Fargo's best, if not THE best, fine dining restaurants! read more

Truly the best of the best in Fargo. Great menu. Great staff. Best happy hour in North Dakota. I go here 4 times a week, at minimum. Highly recommend it! Ask to see what the soup of the day is. read more

Absolutely Recommend!!! You are not in Kansas anymore! Seriously. This is one of the finest restaurants in the Minnesota/Dakotas area I have been to yet! It hasn't been that many, but as fate has it, apparently I will be coming to Fargo on business more & more. Decor: Upscale, Trendy, Retro, On point Ambiance: Chilled & Classy Food: Very Very Good Service: Excellent Parking: Free parking lot nearby, only a 1.5 minute walk Very very difficult to locate. You might be walking around in circles before you see the theatre nearby and the fact that Mezzaluna has two entrances. Very easy to find once you get the hang of it. As soon as you enter, the hostess right down to the busboy...every employee has a smile on their face and seems to genuinely enjoy their job. The patrons have smiles on their faces too. There is a happy, positive vibe all around. Saw lots of corporate types and a few socialites. Seems to attract Fargo's elite. I really like the place and will pass the word to my friends. Dress to impress. Make sure to reserve a table before... read more

They have some of the best service in fargo. Food and drinks here are always awesome. I recommend sitting at the bar as they have great bartenders who can make you something special if you ask. Happy hour is always worth it! read more

I would have given Mezzaluna 5 stars hands down...but I can't. You're probably wondering, "Why, Kris? Why not 5 stars?" I'll get to that in a minute, but let me talk about all the great stuff first. The wine selection was very, very good! The cheese plate was...OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG. It was beautiful. Stunning, really. I almost wept when I tried it. Delicious and fresh and...and... I've run out of words. It's one of the best cheese plates I've had. Ever. I chose the filet (medium rare), which was cooked to perfection. The crisp buttermilk onions, horseradish butter, and parmesan mash were delightful accompaniments. I'm not big on sweets, but ordered the lemon panna cotta. Dear god, that was good. So, why 4 stars? I was sitting there, looking around and commenting on the ambiance when... [RECORD NEEDLE SCRATCH] I saw the TV on the wall. Yup. A TV. So out of place and disappointing. read more

I have always been treated well here. So many people will say that Mezzaluna is for the posh high end crowd where as it seems it is for everyone. The happy hour menu and specials are the best is downtown. And there are off menu items when asked for. Good for dates, friends, family or just being alone. read more

Mezzaluna - Alley menu meatballs - New American Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Just average tasting food. The main thing this place has going for it is the ambiance

Don't be scared by the dark alley and array of dumpsters, as this place is a hidden gem. The hipster decor with retro fixtures really sets a good mood. The meatloaf was an amazing creation with tons of great flavor. The salads are small with amazing presentation. I enjoyed the mozzarella and heirloom tomato salad. The mozzarella was breaded and fried like a mozzarella stick. They have small desserts so you don't have to save too much room. The prices are higher than yelp indicates if you plan to do full dinner service. They also have smaller fare for a fairer price. Looks like a great spot to eat some snack food and mingle with friends. Definitely will come again next time I'm in Fargo. read more

My husband and I visited this restaurant when we were in town for a wedding; we were excited to try it because of all the high reviews but left disappointed. I had the Porcini-Crusted Veal Chop and my husband had the Crab-Stuffed Walleye...both were just mediocre...it wasn't bad, but it wasn't five-star quality. I will say the Fried Mozzarella Caprese Salad was delicious as were the small bite desserts. However, one example of not being five-star were the Garlic-Asiago Tater Tots...they weren't homemade and just tasted like frozen tater tots with garlic seasoning and some cheese shredded on top (in a five-star restaurant, I would expect these to be homemade). I am not trying to sound pretentious, I am only trying to explain why I am giving this place three stars compared to the usual five everyone seems to be awarding this restaurant. I am not saying I would not return...maybe next time it will be better. read more

Summary: 5 stars for quality, presentation and tastiness of the meal. However, Mezzaluna is not capable of handling busy times. Recommendation: For the best experience, go during an off-peak day/time. Story: I made a 7 pm reservation on a Saturday for a party of four. We waited 30 minutes for a table to be opened up for us all to be seated. Our server was friendly and took our order within 10 minutes. Our food did not make it to our table until 2 hours later. Granted it was a very busy scene, but no one should have to wait two+ hours (or 1/12th) of their day for it. read more

Mezzaluna has food and atmosphere as beautiful as its name. If you're looking for a fancy meal out in downtown Fargo, "Mezz" is THE place to go. I personally recommend the happy hour specials, from 4-6 pm and 9 - 11 pm Tues - Sat - AMAZING food and drink for the price! Favorite platter (and best bang for your buck) is the classic bruschetta. Cheese assortment, grapes, peppers, onions, fresh baked bread.... my mouth is watering. So good. Happy hour menu: http://dinemezzaluna.com/menus/happy-hour/ read more

I honestly could not say enough positive things about Mezzaluna. If Mezzaluna allowed you to give 1 restaurant 6 stars, this would be my six. Let's start with the location. A hidden gem on the lower level of an apartment complex in the heart of Downtown Fargo with it's entryway coming in from the alley. It screams Fargo in the most delightful way. The interior is absolutely exquisite. As you enter, the beautiful hardwood floors guide you through a cavernous hallway with a nostalgic staircase and tall wooden pillars. Then, you enter the restaurant itself. A large coat closet to your left, host stand on your right, and the bar ahead. Further left are stairs leading to a mezzanine with large windows overlooking the bar, which you can reserve for events but is open for regular dining otherwise. On the other side of the bar you have a beautiful hightop table area (roughly eight, 4-seat rounds) which is great for meeting coworkers for after work Happy Hour (which I will comment on later as it deserves its own section). On the other side of the restaurant is a large dining area surrounded by beautiful shell booths and beautiful ambiance. People don't flock to Mezzaluna in -20 weather for the building though. We do it for the customer service, which is simply unmatched to say the least. From the moment you are greeted by a gentleman with a larger than life smile, snappy bow tie, and matching pocket square, to the moment you leave and he hands you an addictive chocolate mint and sends you off into the Fargo cold with a warm farewell; you will be delighted by their out of this world service. The team works seamlessly from the door, to the bar, to the kitchen, and the everything in between. They have teamwork and customer service down to a science. The bar is a beautiful horseshoe bar with an unexpected chilled grey goose tap. Truly a beautiful sight, and I don't even drink vodka. The people behind the bar are what make the magic though. Amazingly talented mixologists that can make you some of the best cocktails you never knew existed. Not the cheapest drinks you'll ever have, but I have never used the phrase 'Return on Investment' until I had a cocktail at Mezzaluna. Now let's get to the food. I struggle every time I sit down and begin to slowly look through their menu. Each and every item sounds better than the last and soon you begin to devour the menu like a good book. Once you have made a decision, you are never disappointed. The food arrives from a train of servers coming from the back to ensure everyone's food is nice and hot and served at the same time. The plate itself once it lay in front of you will require a moment of silence. Each plate is given the exact attention that it deserves. Above all things, you must know of Mezzaluna's Happy Hour. Each and everyday that they are open, they have Happy Hour from 4:00-6:00 and 9:00-11:00. $3.00 select craft beer, a great food selection, and plenty of delicious cocktails with a daily 'Mixologist Special'. Suddenly, the life of the rich and famous just became more affordable. Long story short, if you have not been to Mezzaluna in Downtown Fargo... You need to. Also, don't forget to visit their sister restaurant across the river in Moorhead, Rustica! read more

For those looking for The Silver Moon, stop looking, this is it!!! My wife and I live out of town now but have a soft spot for this place. We were happy to see it re-opened. The menu looks great but we went for happy hour. If you're looking for an assortment of different flavors, give it a try. We got the meatballs and shrimp to share. There was plenty for each of us and you could easily do 4-5 people with as many apps to share. Also, the HH beer isn't a simple domestic. They put flavorful beer out there. For $3, it is hard to find a better pint in town. Sure, they are most likely just shifting stock, but I had a seasonal brew in that same season..... Enjoy, we did and we will be back! read more

Amazing dinning experience. Our waitress Mandy made our dinner enjoyable not rushed. Steak was perfect wonderful flavor not over seasoned. Good wine selection read more

Eric and Sarah catered our wedding so when we heard they left WF Maxwell's to open Mezzaluna, we were so excited! They kept the quirky seashell booths from when it was the Silver Moon but added some new elements to the bar/lounge area. The bar menu is amazing! $7 happy hour plates that are both delicious and filling. The shrimp wrapped in prosciutto with polenta and pesto was awe inspiring. I had dreams about it! You have to try the Asiago tots and grilled cheese-both pretty yummy at 11:00 at night! The bar specializes in cocktails. I recommend the Alley Cat Gin Fizz for a nice refreshing summer drink. Mezzaluna is our new favorite place to go and hang out after work with friends. read more

There's not much new left to say about this nationally renowned restaurant of the FM area. The food is incredible, their bartenders are fantastic, and there is a real sense of community there. The big standouts from me are... 1. Happy Hour. Stop by for a great price on a beer and their great lounge menu. 2. Wine Service. They employ one of the only sommeliers in Fargo, and take their wine business seriously. 3. Vegetarian/ vegan entrees. They will make something to fit your diet, and it's always amazing. TL;DR: If you haven't been here yet, you're missing out read more

Wow. Great food, great service. It's a pricey meal but worth it. Will definitely be back for more special dinners! We got the beef bolognese and pork shank-both were excellent! Consider getting reservations, nice jeans are fine for dress (although you wouldn't be out of place dressing up a bit either), and I wouldn't bring kids. read more

After living in Fargo for 2 1/2 years this was our first time to Mezzaluna. There are no more words then "AMAZING!!" Whether you stop in for apps and drinks in the Alleyway or stay for an intimate meal. Mezzaluna is an experience like no other. Every bite exploding with flavor, accented with a handcrafted cocktail by one of their amazing mixologists. If you have never been to Mezzaluna before, come in and find a spot in the Alleyway during happy hour. You will not be disappointed. read more

I had the Elk Steak and Elk sausage. It was pretty good. I give it an A-. The brie appetizer was good as well. Both dishes suffered from being served too cool, possibly because the servers were overwhelmed. Presentation was nice. read more

Mezzaluna is a favorite for Happy Hour! Not only are there great cocktails to enjoy, but their appetizer menu is awesome! Oh, and half price! Which is a bonus because the food is absolutely delicious, you will want to keep ordering more and more! A personal favorite, from the appetizer menu, is Mezzaluna's Sesame-Chicken Fried Rice. Hands down, the best fried rice in Fargo-Moorhead! No Asian restaurant can touch this, awesome! Other favorites are the Pan Seared Scallops and the "Rare" Szechuan Seared Tuna. Both very fresh and delectable! Mezzaluna's Happy Hours are twice daily! Tuesday-Saturday from 4:00-6:00pm and later from Tuesday & Wednesday from 10:00-11:00pm and Thursday-Saturday 10:00-12:00am. Definitely stop in! read more

One of my favorite places in all of Fargo. Stellar cocktails and one of the best happy hours around--especially the late night happy hour. You can't go wrong with a place that has Grey Goose on tap! ON tap! I never miss the opportunity to order the crab cakes or meatballs off the app menu! The bison meatloaf is one of my favorite entrées. read more

This is a fantastic place. I have tried almost everything here and have nothing but good things to say about the quality, presentation and friendliness of the staff. They do have half off appetizers at night. Must visit place if/when in town and probably great venue for special occasions. Perfect for a nice date :) Excellent drinks selection. read more
