Mezzaluna Hampstead: Reviews & Ratings
I recently tried out this great neighborhood restaurant on upper Heath Street, and I was pleasantly surprised! It’s a little off the beaten tourist path, but it’s definitely worth seeking out. The food felt very authentic, and the value for the quality and experience was impressive. We decided to go there last-minute for Father’s Day, and it turned out to be a great choice. The atmosphere was elegant, and the staff were friendly and professional, making us feel welcome from the moment we walked in. The menu featured regional Italian dishes, and we truly enjoyed everything we ordered. I really hope word gets out about this place because it deserves to be supported. If you’re looking for delicious Italian food, good ambience, and quality service, I highly recommend giving it a try!
I was fortunate enough to be invited for a lunch here at the newest restaurant in Hampstead with my client, and how lucky I was that day too! Greeted by stunning decor, heart warming service from Alejandra & Kareen and Marcello. The Tiramisu is exceptional - a must try. Every dish was made fresh, the ingredients were top end and all cooked to perfection! This place has been fully refurbished from top down. Their prices are extremely reasonable from the food and drinks too. Fresh calamari, warm focaccia, divine truffle and mushroom pasta, divine Tiramisu, and even the chef came out to greet us and debone the Seabass! We cannot wait to return! A must visit for anyone wanting high end food, in a romantic location.
This was our first time at Mezza Luna. In true Italian fashion, we had bigoli (please try them!), steak, home made bread, and roasted potatoes with drinks. I am very picky as in Italian in London going to Italian restaurants, and Mezza Luna was just delightful. The vibe, the ambience, the staff (shouts to Andrea the legend from Sicily) were immaculate. We came to celebrate my late mother’s birthday, a special occasion that is very very dear to me, and I felt just at home! I can’t believe I found a restaurant that cooks some of my favourite regional Italian dishes, when I normally have to take a flight and a couple of trains to even contemplate eating them. My father won’t be happy, ha! If you are looking for a cozy, clean, and top notch restaurant, with super friendly and welcoming staff give Mezza Luna a try. Genuinely buzzzzin. Thank youuu!!!
