Mezzo in South Ribble

Bit late reviewing but I went for my 40th in February. As my Dad was unwell we couldn't travel very far Only a couple of other tables in and a limited menu but absolutely no complaints at all. Had a lovely meal, didn't need any more choice. All the staff were lovely. Really enjoyed it and glad we went

We always enjoy visiting Mezzo as it is local to us and never disappoints with its tasty, well cooked food. During this period of disruption caused by coronovirus we decided to try a Mezzo take away and we were not disappointed. We chose a garlic bread with cheese to share and my husband had lasagne whereas I opted for pollo Mezzo. All of which was fantastic and hot. Service excellent and ordering fantastically easy. Thank you mezzo. We will be back.

Recommended by Maria, at Dotties Waffles. So glad we went. Staff, excellent. Food excellent. Service, excellent. 40 minutes drive from Billinge, however, will definitely be going back. On the plus side, for drivers, they serve Peroni 0% lager. You must try the swordfish or the suckling pig. For non-meaters, vegan options are available.

Family meal out,chic interior however the food was below standard.My husband and I had ribs to start and they were ok,then a few of us had the steak with peppercorn sauce.It arrived with a bowl of McDonald type chips and nothing else.The steak itself was barely a steak! Very very disappointing☹️ Would not recommend the £14.99 menu.

Amazing food and service the steak done to perfection sea bass perfect and good portions and value for money highly recommend

Just visited the restaurant for a half six booking. Staff very friendly on arrival etc. Ordered while in bar the Taken through when starter ready...here the issues started a very rowdy table seated near by banging table and demanding shots from the waitress by shouting rather than asking. Every other word was shouted and swearing - then glasses dropped. Asked manager if we could move table as not able to hear ourselves speak, was told we couldn’t but would have a word. Unfortunately no better so we decided to rush our food and leave. When mentioned to manager that experience was not pleasurable and we felt way he allowed customers to talk to female waitresses was inappropriate- this is best bit, he said if the waitresses say something to him about the way being treated he would have a word but they had not. So word of a customer about appropriate behaviour of customers to his staff is not enough! Not sure manager is aware of his licensing requirements as at least one was unfit to be served more alcohol. We did pay for our food (as this in itself was pleasant enough) but when having to eat in such an environment.

Me and my partner came here for a meal when we were staying nearby. It was amazing. The menu was vast and the service was quick. If I live closer I would definitely go again.

Went with a group of friends for a meal- the food was absolutely amazing and highly recommended. The evening was spoilt for me by an extremely rude member of staff that wouldn't take our payment until everyone else was paying (we had to leave a little early for our babysitter) When I said that we needed to pay on card and go, I was called rude and nasty!?! She then turned to 2 other members of staff and laughed at me because I asked to speak to a manager. She really did spoil the whole evening as we left really upset and disappointed about how we were spoken to!

Visited Mezzo a number of times and it never disappoints. Quality and value is excellent. Staff are friendly and management are very professional. Only danger is overeating but with that in mind it is thoroughly recommended.

Went for a friends birthday , food was very nice , 2 courses for £14.90 which I thought was very reasonable. Lots of cocktails and spirits available, a bit pricey but you get what you pay for :) would visit again

A group of 10 friends visited last night Friday 22nd November . The restaurant is very clean and modern with a nice open area to gather whilst awaiting everyone’s arrival. The food was enjoyed by all with no issues or complaints, one of the group said it was the best spaghetti carbonara she’d ever had. The staff were also great and a special mention please to the blonde waitress serving us who joined in the banter with our table and looked after us very well. Thank you for a great evening

Came to try out the pizza and had a few other pasta dishes also everything was great and enjoyed the service and food.

Whilst staying locally we discovered this gem for an evening meal. Modern spacious environment which wasn’t very atmospheric as it was fairly quiet. However the service was attentive and the food first class. Excellent value at £14:95 for two course and no skimping on the portions. Homemade and well presented .

Used to be a regular customer. Never going to return again. Went for an evening out for an 18th birthday and completely ruined the night. Attitude, service and treatment from the manager was awful. Even whilst paying there was a heated argument in front of the whole restaurant.

we where staying at the Hall just up the road fo our anniversary. We planned our dinner here few days ago, very welcoming place with nice deco, the menu has lots to choose from from amazing selection of starters and main courses for 14.90 and and additional supplement of various starters and fresh pasta or fish Service was very good 2 girls looked after us. We decided not to have a sweet but the selection was interesting. We sat in the from room with few other guest. At the end of our meal some kind of entrateiment, a table was not happy with more or less everything and started a confrontation with what we think was the owner or person in charge. How did he keep his calm I don't know, he just asked them to pay and leave. As one of the party was trying to take a picture of him, all quite funny to watch but I think other guest where a bit embarrassed and left. We enjoyed our dinner and would recommend this place Ps: they where rude all they did is complain all they way, not happy with service, the menu .... And you don't like us.....

Found this Italian on TA with good rating. Thought we’d try it and what a good choice. 2 courses for £14.95 and all was good. Beware wine and beer costs seemed dear. Well appointed restaurant, good service and delightful food.

We used to eat here a lot. It was a lovely restaurant with good food and servers.

Food was average and service was really poor. With the restaurant being quiet the service could have been great. Attitude of servers was poor and they were not interested in looking after us at all. Shame as it used to be a great place.

A recent midweek visit to Mezzo's proved to be very worthwhile. The two course menu available all day was particularly good value and offered a wide range of starters and mains too numerous to mention. Our party of four all chose different dishes and all were eaten with relish. Service was attentive and food delivered hot and in good time.

Went on a Monday early evening expecting normal menus as advertised on website. We were only offered two course menu for £14,90 although on fiurther inspection website says £12.90. Needs updating? Had the cheek to charge me £8 for my wife's starter

Very bad place to eat food is over expensive me and my wife walked out avoid

A contemporary Italian restaurant with a wide choice on the menu, great ambience and attentive staff. Very relaxed pace from the beginning with a seated drinks area to select and order your meal before being taken to your table. Freshly prepared, well presented and extremely flavoursome, it would be difficult to beat for genuine Italian flavours....and good value for money!

My daughters 18th... My son had arrived first to put balloons on the table and they had our reservation under a completely different name which was odd. When I arrived with my two daughters and grandma we were greeted by the barman with a somber look as if we were an inconvenience to him. He was in a very bad mood. We sat in the bar area there was no ambience at all everything was flat. At the table my son, s girlfriends little boy was playing up like 3 year old can do... The staff did nothing but plonk our food on the table hardly any communication what so ever. The boy was loud and crying but nothing was said to cheer him up. It wasn't busy either. Food was passable but bland. Menu choice restricted. Prices rather high. Asked for a cappuccino and got a rather small cup of frothy milk! Ohh... And there was a waiter there who could smile but... I was rather expecting to see him loitering outside my window when I got home!!!

Visited for my wife second time,food absolutely delicious and full of flavours,would definitely recommend a visit as its well worthy.Grazie mille per la serata raga👍🏻👍🏻

Very poor value for money from service to quality of food don’t go no ambiance food poor not cheap drinks - don’t mind paying if food is worth it better Italians around

Young waitress in particular very off hand and more interested in discussing her shifts than looking after customers. Food good as usual but will not be going back soon.

I love this restaurant. The atmosphere is great and the service is always spot on; very efficient and nothing is too much trouble.

First time here. Very pleasing decor and layout. Good, friendly service with excellent food, well-presented.

Visited on a Monday night with the misses,food was tasty and service was good.As my 1st visit here i would suggest to give it a try.👍🏻

Service was slow and we never got offered another drink. But food was spectacular, would definitely visit again just for the food!

Bellissimo!!! Mezzo is our go-to for any occasion or spontaneous night out, food and ambiance is always great! Lasagna is always fantastic, fillet steak is to die for! For a lighter bite, the insalada mezzo is a perfect choice along with a tomato or cheese garlic bread to share! Highly recommend! X

I ordered the salt and pepper squid and steak...which I requested as medium. I may be wrong...but I felt the squid was not freshly made and my steak was definitely not medium. On a plus side, the garlic bread was freshly cooked

We were staying in the Samlesbury Hall Hamlet (shepherds hut) for the night and booked here for dinner, which is walking distance. The restaurant is modern and very hot inside. Lighting is good. Staff are mostly young but quite professional. The food I chose was off the specials menu and was lovely. The suckling roasted pig was beautiful. However, my partner had garlic mushrooms to start. We could not detect any garlic on them whatsoever, and shes breathing over me now and... I'm not being garlicified. Maybe they had run out? Pizzas were average. Wine was good. Weird thing when paying is they ask you to pay at the bar when you leave. Maybe no reception for the card reader? No mints with the bill or free lemoncello. No garlic. An Italian restaurant should smell of garlic outside before you even open the door to go in!

Service terrible , staff rude , food totally average . I’ve been here time and time again with family because it’s convenient and every time it’s been shocking because they’ve either forgotten one of our meals or we’ve received the wrong meal. They never fully apologise they always make out its your fault. I have no idea why this place is still open when they clearly have no respect for their customers . This is the final time we will ever spend our money there.

Nicely decorated but a bit lacking in atmosphere however the amount of choice on the 2 Courses for £12.90 menu was very good. The food was not amazing but was great value and very pleasant, when just catching up with friends is the main reason for going out.

After reading several of the reviews I must say I was concerned about going....but had promised our son a few weeks back that we'd try it. Service was spot on. It was extremely busy last night....10/11/18 but we were dealt with promptly. The starters and main courses were delicious. Too full for dessert. Only one issue and that was they'd no bottles of Chardonnay! That isn't great for a restaurant to be out of such a popular choice of wine....had the pinot grigio which was just ok. Other than that I couldn't fault it.

We arrived 10 minutes after the opening time. Doors locked and staff just walking past us refusing to make eye contact.

Last time we were there, I could not fault it.... on this occasion the food was less than mediocre, won't go back in a hurry sorry.

We ate here on a Wednesday night, a party of 6. We had to wait 20 minutes for a table, so we bought drinks and looked at the menu. We ordered before being sat at our table which was sensible.

Service was slow. Starters coming out when we’d gone on to mains. Mains coming out ten mins or so apart. Drinks didn’t turn up and then when we told them we were missing a drink they brought a replacement and the original. I’ve added a pic of one of the drinks. It was undrinkable. Place is about as Italian as a Volkswagen.

My mum and 2 aunties came to stay in a shepherd's hut at Samlesbury Hall and wanted a meal in a nice restaurant not to far away as we came by train the staff at the hall recommended this restaurant the food was excellent and the staff were very helpful and friendly thank you Gill Wiseman

We went hear for a leaving meal with a group of 18 and couldn't fault a thing. The selection of food was good with a nice choice of specials.

we arrived just after opening time and the car park was empty,any how we had come a distance from Leyland so here goes .the meal and drinks were ordered and came promptly the service was excellent and the meal the best Italian cuisine in the area.

It's a stunning building very modern yet cosy. We were greeted with a warm hello and offered a drink in the bar and menus.

We haven't been to Mezzo for over 12 months but decided to call in today for lunch and so pleased we did especially with the lunch menu being available again it's great value. The food was good and tasty and the service was excellent we have missed having a decent Italian and Mezzo is now well and truly back on our menu

Had the Sunday £12.90 for 2 courses option... Calamari followed by Lasagne.....Absolute majestic ….This restaurant is a real gem...If you gat a chance swing buy for a brilliant experience....

We visited here after staying at the nearby Samlesbury Hall. 2 adults and 3 kids all opting for the 2 courses for £12.90 deal - lots of choice. Great service and lovely food.

We visited on a Sunday evening whilst on an overnight stay at Samlesbury Hall which was a short walk away. Booked the table in advance as I didn't know how busy it would be. We ordered from the £12.90 for 2 courses menu which is available all day Sunday. Found the staff to be very friendly, on arrival ordered drinks and sat in the lounge area whilst perusing the menu. We were shown to our table a short time later, our drinks were carried by the staff and within minutes of being seated our starters arrived. Can definitely recommend the garlic bread, tempura prawns, calamari and for mains the lasagne and tortellini. The food was piping hot and delicious. Would have loved to have tried a dessert but was full. We were so impressed that we have said we will visit again as we only live about 15 miles away.

Lovely food. Need to brush up on Little things and touches. Like - carrying drinks for some and not others to the table. No steak knifes. Had to ask the chief in the kitchen for knifes. The table next to us was going to give us theres. We tried to order drinks at the table, he said he would come back he didn't. Had to ask someone else. We didnt have our puddings all together. Food is worth a visit. We all had 3 courses and it was lovely.

Been here twice for lunch the past few weeks and each time it has been very good. The lunch menu is extensive and good value at £12.99 for 2 courses. Presentation is excellent and the decor is pleasing. The view from the dining room onto the car park could be improved by a small fence so that just the fields beyond could be appreciated, but all in all this was a great find.

I have eaten at this place occasionally over the past few years but not posted about it before. This time it deserves it. We had an excellent cooked and presented two course meal for two, with a bottle of wine, for £47. The waiting staff were polite, charming and attentive and the meal was excellent. The food was served promptly but we did not feel in any way rushed. The place was moderately busy even though it was early evening and mid-week. I would recommend booking if you want to go later. Well done, Mezzo!

Apologies for late post. Visited 25th March for family Sunday lunch, we meet up once every 3 months for a family catch up, living far and wide from each other throughout the UK.

We went on a Wednesday night to celebrate a 18th Birthday. We chose from the £12.90 for 2 courses menu. I had the soup which was homemade, fresh and very tasty. I then had the vegetarian pizza that was packed with veg. It was a large group and the service was efficient. Everyone loved their food. I was not expected such quality for such a low price. This place is going to be my new favourite. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve passed this restaurant on the way to Blackburn many a time and thought WOW what a place! You can’t deny it looks stunning from the outside with its modern glass and chrome decor and wonderful rooftop drinking area you’d think you were somewhere abroad and not overlooking a farmers field near preston. FIrst impressions were great we were met at the bar and offered a drink on the rooftop whilst casting an eye over the menus and it was very pleasant in the evening sunshine. We went down into the restaurant and were seated in a very spacious and modern table with all the high end trimmings. I was happy with our choice of starters king prawns and scallops which were okish but nothing to write home about. We had a garlic bread to share and this was again ok but tasteless and non existent really. Our mains arrived which were risotto and carbanora dishes, these were unfortunately the nail in the coffin for me they tasted bland , tasteless and were covered in salt which is an old age trick to make you buy more drinks.

Excellent!!........even on a Wednesday night at 7.30pm. Loads to choose from on the menu,s. Service with a smile. All the staff acknowledge you on the way out. Never fails

Mezzo is a very nice Bar & Restaurant where you can find a lot of variety in food or drinks. Perfect on sunny Days where you can enjoy the terrace and nice cocktails. Well reccomended. Food freshly prepared every day.

Went with family (4), don't normally use the road since motorway opened.Greeted quickly and shown to a table, place is very big with many tables and well laid out.

I have revisited this Restaurant several times in the last 12 months mainly at lunchtime and it never fails to disappoint. The lunch menu is varied and extremely good value for money without skimping on quantity. Service is always good and the staff welcoming. Noticed on my recent visit that they had got rid of plastic straws and had papers one instead! Well done Mezzos for doing your bit for the environment!

Been here on a number of occasions and never been let down. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is relaxed, service is second to none. For me, one of the best Italian restaurants in the NW.

We were staying in one of Samlesbury Hall's Shepherd Huts when we visited. The staff were welcoming and friendly and sorted out a problem with one of our drinks quickly and efficiently. The food was lovely and there was a great buzz about the place even though it wasn't full. Happy to recommend especially the Pizza.

I'd recommend dining here - nice relaxed atmosphere and I loved the food. I had garlic mushrooms and cheesy garlic bread followed by chicken fillet in a lovely sauce with mushrooms and vegetable.

Visited last week for a family birthday. We where asked to sit at the bar for a drink while looking at the menu and have a drink. The menu hasn't change in 4 years After ordering, we where show to our table, food was average...

We booked a table for 7pm. The restaurant is was very and welcoming, the food was perfect and the service was very quick. Will definitely be going back, thank you for your service.

A big thanks to the new waiter - Antonio. He was fabulous and knew his wines! He had time to talk and laugh with the party which made us all feel welcome. Fast service, good food and a buzzing atmosphere. Will definitely be booking here...

Two course Meals for 3, bottle of very nice House Red and a glass of bubbly all for £60. What a bargain when you consider we had beef, sea bass and veal. Delicious to boot. Service top draw. It’s a while since I’ve been there,...

As usual everything about Mezzo is good. Francesco is very attentive as we have an elderly parent who is hard of hearing but Francesco always has good, respectful banter with him - which we appreciate. Good starters, great steak main course and good attentive service....

Booked well in advance to get early dinner then home. This did not happen we had to wait. Unfortunately the restaurant put quantity before quality and customer service. Owner needs a course in customer service and flexibility. Example mocking customers and when asked by one...

Went for a meal with friends. The service was ridiculously slow waiting over half an hour for starters and similar between courses. The food was average and the bill well over £100 for the three of us. The service was poor, it took an age...

The team and I, over 20 people, had to book late due to issues at our original location. Everything was perfect. Considering there were other large parties in at the same time, the service was spot on and no one was left waiting for any...

Amazing Service by Sabrina amazing food very well ran. friendly staff and just a all rounder 10/10 will be coming here again.

We had the xmas menu 2 courses for 16.90. Everyone of us enjoyed our meal and we had a good table for 6 people.

We went for lunch with friends. We really appreciate the wide choice on the special menu. Service was a bit slow but food excellent. It's on our return list

I was really looking forward to eating here. Have been a few times and the food is usually good. We arrived for Sunday Lunch table booked for 2pm. One hour later we were still waiting to be seated. My son and his family dine here quite often and he said this happens all the time. A couple who were also seated waiting for their table confirmed this was true. General consensus was the drinks were quite expensive and the food was reasonably priced so they keep you waiting to bump up sales. So for me the service was poor. The bar was well stocked and had lots of different flavours of Gin which I liked. The food when we were finally seated was good. The do a lovely two course special on Sunday which was very good . However I do think if they improve that then I would give them 4 stars.

So many visits and always great quality and made to feel welcome. In particular Mezzo has a superb 2 course menu for £12 that is available every lunch Mon to Sat and weekday evenings Mon to Thurs.The 2 course options are not the usual 3 or 4 choices but almost 75% of the main menu so my fave Pollo Alla Crema after a good option on starters is a regular choice. The cream sauce is always yummy with mushrooms and nice selection of veg.My wife prefers the tomatoe based Pollo picante.

Fabulous food , very tasty and steaming hot. My swordfish and steak was very flavoursome. The pizzas looked tasty as did the vegetarian options . Would’ve been 5 star but waitress let it down . Not served the correct cutlery on all course and not offered new napkins . Deserts were done one by one order so each person ate before another was served. Coffee and tea served without milk and ignored my request for some. Deserts served minus cutlery until pointed out and then just got a large spoon - if these errors were ironed out this place could be mega !

Beautiful decor, impeccable service and unbelievable food. Went for a birthday meal with my boyfriend and it must be one of the nicest places We have been to. I can’t fault this place and will be recommending it to everyone.

Slight disappointment when we arrived as we had a 15 minute wait for the table we had booked. Shared mixed bread and dips for starters, very enjoyable. Main courses were good and tasty. Downsides were that the restaurant had a low ceiling and seemed quite noisy and their website doesn't download the full menu.

On my last visit I thought that the restaurant "could do better" the service is good and the staff are friendly and attentive, nothing is too much trouble!However the food lets the place down, the menu is unimaginative and the cooking skills need to be improved!

Out of the blue 7 of my colleagues turned up. We were warmly welcomed and seated promptly. Nice selection of food. I had a steak and cooked to perfection with galic mushrooms to start with, Yummy...the rest all really liked what they had selected...the food was delivered quickly and service was excellent. Would highly recommend this place...and would go back again

Nice clean restaurant, friendly staff and well stocked bar, excellent menu with a good offer on a Sunday, recommend the stroganoff and Peroni. .

Our party of six people were very well treated and looked after. Within moments of arriving we were enjoying a pre dinner drink in the very tasteful bar area. Although a "buzzing" Saturday night our food order was promptly taken by our charming waitress. Our food, all cooked fresh and not microwaved was delicious and an excellent wine list all complimented the experience. The meal was excellent value for money, I will definitely return to Mezzo!

Visited here for the first time as a table of 4. Lovely ambience and the building initially looks tastefully decorated. The layout is very strange though with some strange seating arrangements and we were not at a great table!The food was very good overall and presented well. Portion size was small in respect of the starters and that was disappointing. Main courses were reasonably portioned but again the food was lovely.Service overall was okay. We did feel like we were on a conveyor belt and being rushed. The restaurant wasn't full so the rushing was unnecessary and didn't give us chance to talk or enjoy the meal fully. Dessert menus were thrust upon us immediately after the mains were collected which was annoying and frustrating! Only 1 item was returned overall.Overall we will probably go back because of the food but the service did leave you feeling a little underwhelmed. Given the number of other options around service needs to improve to keep customers interested and wanting to go.

A nice date night not far from Samlesbury Hall, the staff where very friendly and the food and wine was delicious.

We go here quite a lot and the standard and staff are always consistently good. Great value for money on a Sunday- two courses all day for £12-90. The pizzas are the best around along with most pasta dishes. Well worth a visit!

Some time since we have been here(live in Scotland).Still usual high standard and value for money.Chose from the special menu,under £13 for two courses.The mushroom starter was huge.Main courses more than adequate .Seabass was delicious with lovely crispy skin and pizza and lasagne delicious.Staff very pleasant and attentive.Would not hesitate to visit again when in the area.

a nice restaurant, with good staff, the menu needs updating and the food needs to be of a higher quality, once that is achieved this place will be hard to beat!

So starting with a positive the food was really quite nice and it is mostly about the food right!? The service wasn't great though. Ordered drinks after a few minutes and when they arrived we asked if we could order the food. The waitress disappeared and we saw her later preparing coffee for another table so we had to summon someone to take our order. The main guy came over to take it and came across as a little arrogant. My partner wanted mash instead of chips and he said that would be a side order. We ordered more drinks when the main arrived and they didn't turn up until we had finished our meal. It hadn't been overly busy when we arrived but everyone surrounding us who arrived after is seemed to get their food and drinks before us. It took ages to get the bill. Maybe this was just a one off but it's likely enough to prevent us going back there.

First visit for my wife and I to Mezzo. We had the 2 course special menu. Food was ok but portions were small. It was £12.95 each for the 2 courses, and we shared a garlic bread. I had a pint of lager and my wife had a half. £38 in all which being retired is a bit much for a quick lunchtime meal. Not many other people there and I doubt if we'll return.

Can't believe its 2 years since my last review. Since then we've been on numerous occasions most often at lunchtime, Sundays they open right through the day so very convenient. We have always enjoyed our visits here and find the surroundings relaxing, food good and staff efficient. Open kitchen so you can see what's going on and the head chef is always happy to hear if you've enjoyed the food.

The main course I got was the seabass. when it came there was eight potatoes and a fillet of fish. no veg etc. when I told them that i was disappointed with it, they said if you paid more you would of had veg, bigger fish and a better meal. DO NOT GO HERE, I Will never set foot in this place again.

Large choice of food from 3 menu's. Had 2 course special on a Tuesday night which was good value.Some of the food though like chicken wings was a bit bland and lacking flavour. The food was presented well though.This lead to the opinion that whilst the food was not bad, it also was not great. I think with a few tweaks like possibly cutting back menu choice and spending a bit of time developing better flavours, could take the food from ok to excellent as it was cooked well.The venue is also decorated lovely and is spacious.In it's current format I wouldn't rush back, but definitely would if improvements to menu /flavour were made.

Brilliant, as always. Staff extremely helpful and the food delicious. Also handy for us as we only live 4 miles away.

We originally wanted to book a table for 8pm and were told they could only do 7.30pm - fair enough, we came for 7.30pm. The table wasn't ready so we sat having a drink, waiting for a waiter to direct us to the table - no one showed up so I had to ask when the table would be ready and we were told that we should let them know when we would like to sit down at the table? We were happy to sit down straight away even though the table wasn't ready.. Interesting. So we eventually sat down half an hour later and ordered food. Food was average at best and was expensive for what it was - nearly £17 for a tomato linguine with a few small scallops and prawns. Waiters/waitresses seemed nice but the management were rude and made us feel unwelcome. When it came to the bill they added on the £20 bottle of wine i'd already paid for while we were waiting for a table.

The service was good & the staff really nice and it's a nice restaurant. The starters came really fast and we're nice but had quite a wait for the main courses and they tasted quite bland and mine was only luke warm.

Been here a few times and it never fails to disappoint, so good for an Italian food isn't smothered in oil which i usually end up leaving my food for, good sized portions for people with big appetites myself and my partner ended up leaving half each as we were so full. Amazing atmosphere which is perfect for couples. Staff are very helpful and ensure they come to the table every now and then to check your okay, not too much which can get annoying in other restaurants. Food isn't overpriced and is a good value for money.

We arrived as agreed for an evening meal for 30 people and went straight to the upstairs area. Several rounds later we asked for our order to be taken which was executed without any problems. We had asked for garlic breads to be going on with and they duly arrived. Starters arrived shortly afterwards and were very good. We were on 2 tables of 15 and they main courses were delivered to each table in turn.I have to say that considering the numbers involved were served brilliantly. The food was very good and the service very good as well. Thank you to Karen and all the Mezzo team - we had a great evening

Was out for a meal with family. The service was really slow; at least 10 minutes for a drink and what seemed an age for the food. The food was of good quality and good portion sizes. The food seemed freshly prepared, hot and well presented. I would happily eat here again but you need patience for the wait for the food.

As we walked in there was a congregation of waitresses near the door so i felt a load of eyes staring at me, not a good start. Barman was lovely and i tried an Aperol Spritz, he brought it to seating area at the front and gave us a menu. We arrived at 8 which is when the table was booked for so we were a bit confused when they didn't sit us down straight away. Waiter came over to take our order and then sit us down which where not used to. There were crumbs on my partners seat which was a shame as the table setting overall was excellent. The food was speedy which was great as we were starving. But i ordered a linguine off the paper menu and i wanted it because it said scallops and prawns. But it came with a different type of shell fish as apposed to scallops. Im dont normally opt for seafood meals so i wasn't sure and didn't ask. I wish i did now because ive googled it and it was mussels. So quite disappointed in the chefs for that. I wouldn't of ordered it if the menu said mussels as ive never tried them. On the plus side I now know im definitely not a fan of mussels :/. The prawns to start where lovely although i couldnt taste chilli and garlic. The fudge cake wasnt anything special either. Im sure there other food options are lovely as ive heard good things about Mezzo. Ive just had an unlucky evening. Wont be returning.
