Jenny B.Jenny Bossel: Dim lighting, romantic atmosphere... Wonderful wine list. Try the red beet fingerling gnocchi in the gorgonzola sauce, it's just divine!!

Michelle G.Michelle G: The pappardelle ragu is incredibly yummy! Start with the truffle polenta or pear and Gorgonzola salad. Charming back garden...almost like sitting on a hill in Montepluciano.

The Corcoran GroupThe Corcoran Group: Mezzaluna is the perfect low-key Italian dinner on the Upper East Side. You can’t go wrong with any of the brick oven pizzas; however our recommendation is the spicy black linguine with shrimp.

TK .TK 🍦🍷: Delicious: artichoke ravioli w/brown butter sage sauce. Also yummy: kale salad. But: my pasta arrived 20 mins after everyone else's entree. On a Friday night, it was full of families (lots of kids).
