Mezzanotte - Ottawa, Ontario

Overall great dining experience. Attentive server, generous portions, and delicious food. Nice presentation and good vibe in restaurant.

Mezzanotte is one of my favorite restaurants, and I've been going to it for over 20 years. The food is always fresh, hot, and delicious, and the service is always excellent. Pietro was our server, and he was very friendly and he gave us the best service. He was attentive ... when we needed him, and he allowed us to relax and our enjoy our evening once we got our meals and we were finishing up our wine. We never felt rushed. Everything was fabulous. We will be back again soon. Read more

Very nice private dining experience if you’re looking for a quiet romantic dinner. Decor of the interior was very nice. I’ve always wanted to dine here for the aesthetic so it was nice to try an expensive place for a special occasion. We had reservations but the restaurant was basically empty ... so the employee did not bother to check and seated us by the window. We were confused when we first walked in because the restaurant was empty and there was no employee in sight. We ordered the filet mignon and lobster papardelle. I wasn’t a fan of the sauce of my pasta as I found it more oily/buttery than creamy for my tastebuds and the lobster was too dry for my liking. The filet mignon was cooked very well. I’ve never seen an orchid served with food before. Not sure if we were supposed to eat it. They also provide bread and an interesting garlic oil dip that tastes very familiar but we couldn’t place it. They also had nice dessert options. Overall left with our stomachs full. I’m just giving 4 stars though because I didn’t really love my lobster pasta as much as I thought I would and it was pricy. There was only one person working that night so that might have been why service was a bit slower than what we would expect from such a restaurant. Definitely expect to spend $100 per person if you’re getting drinks, apps, and dessert or ordering one of the pricier plates. Their card machine doesn’t have the automatic tipping grid like other places so you manually input the amount or percentage you want. Read more
