So this place looked exactly how Lucky's looked when they were still open. I am not sure if this…read morewas a Lucky's in the past because when we moved to Ocala, it was Earth Fare. I had this place bookmarked but I try to stay away from College Road as much as possible. We were at a nearby store and it was evening time so I figured that would be a perfect time. The store was dead. It is huge inside. We didn't know what to expect so we just browsed the store, aisle by aisle. We started by the entrance, through the beverage section. It did not take long to notice the severely overpriced items. The meat section was not big and there was not much to select from. There was not much we were impressed with throughout the aisles but when we arrived at end of our browsing, we wound up in the bakery and deli section. That is where I shopped! I found a bleu cheese that is difficult to find. I picked up a premade chicken salad sandwich on a croissant, which was so delicious! It tasted fresh and pure. We checked out after that and the cashier was not enthusiastic. That's okay, they were not rude either. I wound up spending more than I wanted to. I might visit again if I am in the same plaza again but I do not envision myself intentionally shopping here.

The restaurant…read moreexudes an Italian charm with its beautifully decorated ambiance and cozy nooks that offer a more intimate dining experience. 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.

Note: don't wear good clothing as it is a messy meal but so worth it. Our waitress was terrific and instead of her asking us if we wanted to order, we told her we would put our menus on the other side of the table. Then she would know when we are ready and this way we could enjoy the fresh bread they give you and also enjoy some of our bottle of wine prior to ordering.

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.
