Our Story
A Neighborhood Bistro with an Italian Heart
Home-style Italian cooking on West Allendale Avenue.
Thank you, Allendale
Back doing what we love
The Mezza Luna Bistro family thanks our customers, our staff and the Allendale community for their incredible support since our reopening — from the business students at Northern Highlands who gave us valuable ideas for our re-opening, to the contractors who worked tirelessly to bring a better Mezza Luna to Allendale, to the clergy who blessed our restaurant and the mayor and council who cut the ribbon on opening day. We are truly blessed.
It is a joy to be back doing what we are passionate about: creating wonderful food and providing exceptional service. Our menu offers hand-crafted appetizers, small plates, full entrées, and bread and desserts made in-house — and our weekday three-course lunch specials are back.
Every day we say, “Thank God!”
What makes Mezza Luna
Kitchen, Table & Community
Our Chef & Staff
With 28 years of experience cooking in fine restaurants, our chef is excited to share that vision with every guest — and our caring, committed staff make sure you enjoy every bite.
Seasonal & Local
We refuse to compromise on quality. We source fresh ingredients from local farmers’ markets and build our specials around the best seasonal produce and fish.
Made Your Way
We can personalize any dish — you just need to ask. It’s that simple, and we love doing it. Dietary concerns? Let us know.
The dining rooms
Always getting better
We keep fine-tuning our dining rooms: acoustic panels to keep conversation easy, a shaded outdoor seating area for al fresco dining, and ongoing restoration of our downstairs dining room — perfect for private parties. Even on busy nights, we usually find a way to make room for you.
