We love Bistro Mezzaluna! The service and food are excellent, whenever we dine there. Last night they had Prime Rib as the special, so we bought ordered it. It came with mashed potatoes and green beans. I had a glass of Beringer Cabernet. The price was reasonable compared to other fine dining restaurants in Ft Lauderdale. They have live music in the bar area. Usually a piano player. We sat in the dining room. I highly recommend Bistro Mezzaluna!

Pre-Cruise Dinner close to our Hotel and wanted a Great Italian meal and we chose a real Gem! Fantastic meal and service. We ordered the Fried Calamari and Shrimp with spicy Peppers for appetizer and it was great! Rolls came quickly and also great. For our entrees we chose the Penne Broccoli Rabe and Linguine with Meatballs in a yummy sauce. Both came quickly and fantastic. The portions were more than ample. We will definitely return.

Waited over an hour and a half for food to be delivered to table. Quality was very good but not worth the poor service. They were busy due to a boat show but when we arrived and placed order they were not busy. Waiter did it check in often.
