Dinner between shows, this venue was perfectly situated for a quick, but delicious bite. The staff were friendly, the meals quick and all tasted deliciously fresh. Water was topped up readily and it was easy to get the staff’s attention when needed.
Decent pretheatre dining. Really great stone fire pizza with lovely toppings. Calamari was a little chewy but the salad dressing with is was lovely. My main downside was that entre and main all came out together so our lovely pizza was cold by the time we had 2 entre to share. Nice atmosphere, polite and attentive staff and decent value for money in the city
Everything we ordered, ie pork belly pizza, porterhouse steak and Napoli pasta, was good except the pasta. Pasta was just mediocre for the price we paid.
Pros- Good location .Nice ambience. Good service . Friendly Staff.
Cons - Value of food and taste was average.
There are better Italian restaurants around.
Beautiful food, friendly service and just around the corner from the Princess Theatre.
The pumpkin and ricotta tortellini is very tasty, accompanied with pine nuts and burnt butter.
The pannacotta was very fresh and a great palette cleanser.
Very much enjoyed our entrees and main meals in this lovely resturant, friendly service and stylish decor. We will be back here. Joshua Waddell
My girlfriend and I dined here recently and found the food was great. So far i cannot fault the service or offerings. My pizza was delicious and my girlfriend enjoyed her rissotto. The Aranchini was amazing too as a starter. I would definitely recommend.

Had a pleasantly surprising Saturday night dinner at Mezzo this weekend. We had booked for 6:30pm and the restaurant was only partially filled. Plenty of elbow room where we were seated, which I miss sometimes and a pleasant vibe and decor.
For entree we ordered the Antipasto grazing platter for 2, which promised cured meats, Italian cheeses, arancini, oysters, chickpea hummus & olives. The only thing missing from the platter appeared to be a portion of bread or crackers to have with the dip. We had assumed that the fancy bread plate with the butter portion on the table meant something was coming to fill our expectation of bread, but unfortunately, the bread never arrived, and the butter portion and empty bread plate were removed from our table unused upon the arrival of our entree. That mild disappointment aside, we moved onto the getting stuck into the platter which was a genuinely wonderful selection of antipasto. The oysters were some of the best I had eaten and the hummus had a pleasant tangy, kick to it that I enjoyed.
For mains, I ordered the house made tortellini filled with cumin spiced pumpkin and ricotta, sitting in a walnut cream and mixed nut & butter glaze & Mr B had the calamari salad which was semolina dusted and shallow fried with tomato, fennel, celery, snow peas, parsley and almond. Both of the mains were delicious and fresh tasting. The texture or my pasta was wonderful, and very pretty to look at. My B had no complaints about his salad.
Very pleasant meal and good service! Would highly recommend for a date night or somewhere to impress the parents with a casual, but refined vibe. Still wondering what happened to my bread though...
Attended Mezzo for the pre-theatre dinner option on a busy Saturday night. Ordered an shared entree, main and dessert.
Throughly enjoyed the shared entree, the arancini was tasty and not a ball of dried rice which other restaurants tend to serve.
Would highly recommend the slow braised beef cheek and the potato puree was delightful (if you enjoy hearty red meat). Otherwise, the slow cooked 'confit' chicken is a good option if you don't enjoy eating red meat.
Overall, would highly recommend this restaurant if you want a good and quick dinner before a show. Staff were very attentive and the restaurant was an excellent place to eat, converse and enjoy some wine.
Great value and service, food was awesome too, couldn't fault it. Will come back and be recommending to friends. Beef cheek is insanely good.
Great for pre-theatre crowd and for comedy festival goers.
Greeted by friendly staff. Clean restaurant. Arinchini balls were amazing. Our pasta dishes were outstanding. Pannicotta was delicious. Prices were reasonable. Overall a great experience and would love to come back. The Boys
Flavoursome and interesting food and good variety. Matched to excellent wines. Service very professional, attentive and unobtrusive. the venue is warm, welcoming and comfortable. Shown was an entrée of Arancini, Rolled Chicken and Eggplant Parmigiana.
Had the grazing platter to share whilst waiting for a show to start at the theatre. It was exactly what we needed! Pricey, but you get what you pay for 🥂
A very nice casual dining experience. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I really enjoyed the environment of the restaurant and the price was reasonable given we had 3 people. We didn't try the BYO wine, but the wine they had available was nice as well - very nice place, would reccomend
My son and I enjoyed an early dinner here in between sessions of Harry Potter at the princess theatre. It’s ideally located if you need a quick bite to eat near the theatre. We booked online too which was great as I wasn’t sure how busy it would be with everyone trying to eat dinner between shows. Service was fast and food was great, plenty of options for the kids and very kid friendly. It’s not super cheap but you get what you pay for and it’s worth it.
