Have you ever been so full, yet so hungry for more all at the same time?
Welcome to Mezza Luna.


I had a substitute "girl" with me for our trip to Mezza Luna. My co-lover of food, Whitney, had a very busy schedule this week and was unable to sit for a review. My review this week was written with the help of my friend Bridget, who was excited to be part of the "two girls" review :) Thank you Bridget!

Mezza Luna opened it's doors in October of 2008. Chef and owner Juan Barcenas moved to Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1996 to work as Chef at Bordinos. Together, he and friend Andrea from Milano developed the Bordinos experience. Juan was the Chef at Bordinos for seven years and then decided to set out on his lifelong dream of having his own place.

Mezza Luna offers an extensive Italian menu including pizza, pastas, salad, desserts and more.

Here's a look at our experience:

Renae:
Famous Portabella Mushroom Lasagna Homemade with Bechamel sauce, Chef Juan Style, served on a bed of creamy pesto sauce.
When my plate arrived in front of me, I knew this was going to be one of the greatest food experiences of my life. This lasagna was a definitely a mushroom lovers dream. The presentation of the meal made the experience even more of a delight. Pesto sauce coated the plate which was the perfect addition to the bechamel sauce. If you have never experienced a lasagna with Bechamel sauce, please make it your next, you won't regret it. This meal was truly amazing and genuinely an authentic Italian meal.

Bridget:
Chicken Alfredo Pizza, YUMMY!! The price was right for this gourmet style pizza. The pizza was fresh with a burst of sweetness.
Dessert:
Tiramisu. - "I wasn't as impressed with it as some others I have tried. Honestly, it wasn't that firm and by the time I got the leftovers home it was slop. It lacked the right amount of ladyfingers".


Over all review:
Will we go back?
Yes! I left Mezza Luna already planning who I wanted to come with me on my next visit. We were extremely impressed with the food, and the service was top notch.
We feel confident in saying, "We know you will love this food".

However, we felt like Mezza Luna's website was a little misleading. We were expecting an upscale restaurant, but found this little eatery in a strip mall atmosphere with very causal family style dining. This is definitely a family atmosphere with a Tuscan feel...perfect for families of all sizes.

Please support Mezza Luna, we love it, and know you will too!
