   Wonderful experience! A must experience! Traditional dishes prepared in a nouvelle cuisine style. The complimentary bread and tapenade were delicious starters. The fried artichoke hearts which are typically a holiday family favorite had an interesting Sriracha drizzle twist. The Tuscan soup was not a typical thick bean and sausage soup. It was more of a pink broth type soup with a few beans, few greens, small but delicious piece of sausage and a crouton type toast, again delicious. The ricotta gnocchi were amazing but I think I would have preferred it in a red sauce. The ricotta cake was the best I’ve ever had! A wonderful crust with a warm soft center and with a cherries. Will definitely be back!

   The food was wonderful. Our waitress was great. We had a lot of questions about specific menu items. And the kitchen was able to accommodate or need not to have garlic in one entrée. It was a bit loud though even for a Wednesday night that’s my only complaint. We will come back.

   First time here and will be back. One of the best Italian restaurants I've been to in a while in the Albany area. Highly recommend it.

   We have dined here often as an old married couple for « date night » and with family groups for events like birthdays. MezzaNotte never disappoints —food is excellent and service on point. Highly recommend this restaurant

   We waited over 2/12 hours for our meals; 3 of which were the parm specials. The food was just okay. We sat in DR and there were maybe 3(at tops 4) other tables being used when we sat down. A large group of men and many other tables filled after us and they had their meals first. In fact many of them left as we were just getting ours. The waitress was sweet and very nice but to have only 4 glasses of wine ($21.00) taken off our bill for our wait seems a little cheesy. I don’t think the owner was very apologetic and one of the persons at our table had veal parm which was a tiny piece of meet. It was not an enjoyable experience and quite honestly the wait wasn’t worth it as the food was just okay. The only positive thing I can say is they have a nice happy hour; at the bar only and spending times with old friends made the evening. Furthermore, management needs to do something about the bathroom door in one of the women’s stalls as it doesn’t lock.

    We would give MezzaNotte 20 stars if it were possible. We are only in Albany a few times a year, but we make sure to have dinner there every time. This trip, we ate there twice in one week --- for "Parm night" and again two nights later. We have eaten at some of the nicest restaurants all over the U.S. northeast, as well as in Europe, and yet MezzaNotte always ranks near the top of our "favorites" list. The veal parmesan was excellent --- super-tender veal cooked perfectly, with rigatoni in a simple but delicious marinara sauce. The portions were very large. The second night, my husband had barramundi with a lemon risotto and said it was outstanding. I had a beautiful filet that almost melted in my mouth. He also had the caesar salad, which he said had the best dressing he has had in a while. I had the MezzaNotte salad, which is my favorite salad t any restaurant, which is a spring mix with thinly-sliced apples and pears, hazelnuts, figs, tomatoes, and crispy-coated goat cheese in a balsamic vinaigrette. We were too stuffed to have dessert then, but we took out a chocolate mousse cake and a ricotta cake with cherries, and both were fantastic. I should also mention the scrumptious olive tampenade and warm, crusty bread, which we could have made a meal of, it was so good. The service here is beyond excellent. Madison and Mimi, with a very special shout-out to Madelina, were all super-professional as well as very friendly. They made us feel right at home and anticipated our every need. The star is the owner, Connie, who knows exactly how to make diners feel welcomed and cared-about every time. I'd also like to add that this is also one of the cleanest restaurants around. Not a speck of dust or dirt anywhere and everything just shines. All is all, yet another absolutely perfect two evenings at MezzaNotte. We honestly can't recommend a better restaurant.
