WOW! I was pleasantly surprised by this restaurant. Started off the dinner with the salad and let me tell you, this was one of the BEST dressings I have EVER had!! We had already put in our order but I could've had the salad with a side of chicken for dinner and would've been satisfied. Another incredible was the Truffle Gnocchi! Very rich and definitely need to share but it's you NEED to order this. We also ordered the Fettuccine pasta and the Chicken Al Vino which were tasty and were very good portions. We were too full to try dessert but will come back here the next time I am in Princeton (SoCal native!). The servers were very friendly. The restaurant itself was very cute and would be perfect for a date night!

Really good food but not the best place to have a restaurant. It's very cramped. If your going on a date they put the tables so close to others you can literally hear other's conversations. Extremely quiet. I would recommend coming here during lunch rather than dinner. Food was amazing, I got the rigatoni vodka. It was delicious!

As soon as we entered La Mezzaluna, an atmosphere of warm welcome greeted us. From that moment on, the staff made it a point to tend to any of our needs. For example, one of them joked about singing Happy Birthday, so I mentioned that it actually was my dad's birthday. Immediately, the staff asked what my dad's name was, then came together to sing Happy Birthday with a lighter serving as the candle! It was such a sweet and memorable gesture. We also enjoyed the olive oil that came with the free bread due to its unique flavor, thus tried asking the staff what brand it was? It was a secret, but since they knew how much we loved the olive oil, they packed some with the leftover bread for us to take home. This was some of the best service I've received at a restaurant, and for that alone, La Mezzaluna is worth a visit! Like I mentioned earlier, the olive oil is unique in flavor, making this free bread a top contender in the free bread battle. The burrata in the salad was delicious, especially with the vinaigrette on top. The rigatoni's sauce was creamy and flavorful, and overall satisfying. The only change I'd personally want is asking for red pepper flakes next time to add some spice! The star of the night was the fruit flambe, which is prepared by the staff by the table. The staff will explain each step of the process and show off some big flames for you to get cool shots of. I've never had a dessert like this, so I highly recommend getting this one!

This was a small spot with limited décor, but a large picture of pasta, which I found entertaining. There was also outdoor seating in the alley next to the establishment. The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner. They started the meal off with some bread. It was not too bad. Some pieces were warm, while others were more room temperature. For an entrée, I had the penne ($20). It came with Italian eggplant, sweet red peppers, and shallots in a tomato basil sauce with mozzarella sauce. This was tasty. The pasta was cooked al dente, which I prefer sometimes. Regardless, the sauce was delicious. It was somewhat thick, so it easily coated the pasta. The vegetables appeared fresh and paired nicely with the tomato basil sauce. I also tried the cannelloni vegetariani. It was filled with baby spinach, red peppers, eggplant, onions, and ricotta. It was then topped with fresh mozzarella over pesto cream sauce. Again, another appetizing dish especially the pesto cream sauce. Will I go back? Yes.

I've been here a couple of times. This is a BYOB restaurant. You can go right next door, there's a liquor store. This place does get busy even during the week. This is not a big place, so it can be a bit noisy, my server was very professional and nice. The decor is modern with metals and wood. The lighting is low and adds to the ambience. I started with Arancini and Calamari Frutti. Both were delicious. For my entree both times I came here I ordered the same thing. PORK OSSOBUCCO- tender pork served over mushroom risotto. I really enjoyed this dish. I took the leftovers home. My daughter ordered the same thing. My bf ordered HAZELNUT and WALNUT ENCRUSTED RACK OF LAMB- Served with vegetables and potatoes finished in a demi glace sauce. My other daughter ordered a Risotto Special. Her bf chose for his entree CHICKEN MARSALA- With sweet Italian sausage, Portobello mushrooms, roasted potatoes and red peppers in a marsala wine sauce. For dessert we chose CRÈME BRÛLÉE, and TIRAMISU. We ordered several and shared them all. We thoroughly enjoyed our food. You can park on the street if you can find a spot. During the day it's metered, after 6 PM I believe there's no charge. If you can't find a spot on the street you can always park in the garage around the corner.

3.5 on the food overall. Pretty light flavors which is nice and how I cook usually at home but we were looking at more rich flavors in the truffle gnocchi which barely had any fresh truffles. I just came from NYC Olio e Pui, huuuggeee heaping pile of shaved fresh truffles on creamy fettuccini, I think might be the best pasta dish ever, it was fresh pasta as well and of course it was $50 but still here wasn't fresh pasta which is fine but the flavors and ingredients could of been more full and rich. Wine from california, limited, quite inexpensive at $25 to 35 a bottle, very young and too harsh in flavors when enjoying all the dishes. Selvin and other server from Guatemala, good hard working and attentive friendly guys practiced spanish with us. 10 stars for them. Trying all the restaurants in the vicinity of Princeton...
