Cafe Mezzanotte - Northchase

I am traveling for business. I use the company credit card. I ate and paid. Because I didn 't leave a tip, the waitress spoke to me very rudely at the exit of the restaurant, loudly enough for the customers to hear. You didn 't give me a tip, she said. Yes, I use a company card. If you write it as a service fee on the receipt, I can give it to you, but when I write it down as a tip, i said I can 't explain it to my bosses. Then she said you will give it, you will give cash if necessary, etc. she said. Her speaking tone was very bad. She told me that you insulted me by not giving me a tip. This is America, this is a rule etc she said. I said, I 've been in Wilmilgton for 10 days, I 've eaten a lot of food, I 've never experienced such a disrespectful conversation anywhere. I was going to go with 4 friends this evening, but I canceled it. I don 't want to force people to eat in such a disrespectful behavior. As for the food, I did not like very much the meat very much but it was okay anyway, the pasta was very good. I last drank water while getting up from the table. They used city water from the tap, but its chlorinated taste spoiled my taste. The waitress was very disrespectful. This is a place I won 't want to go to again unless an apology is made. Actually waitress is very important in restaurant. She was very rude.

Enjoyed the salmon over spinach entree and the Fresca salad with my son both were very good meal choices. Had the Marlin Brando Alexander cocktail with fresh grated nutmeg on top! It was excellent. Saturday lunch is a quiet time in Wilmington to eat out.

Another delightful evening at Cafe Mezzanotte, this time with friends. We were warmly welcomed and seated at a comfortable table for four. Service was exceptional and dinner was delicious we had a variety of exquisite dishes, including pasta, seafood and a tasty chicken parmigiana. We were also served a melt in your mouth beef medallion dish prepared to a perfect medium rare. We were celebrating a special birthday and it was acknowledged by staff with one of their homemade cannoli including a candle! It was another enjoyable, memorable evening and we so look forward to coming back to Cafe Mezzanotte again and again.

I was impressed with this restaurant before even trying it out! When I looked this place up, just the pictures alone blew me away!So, when I actually went to see if it met up to my expectations, it surpassed them ? I now love this restaurant!

Overall great food and always friendly staff. Great old school Italian food and vibes. The drink selection is great, and the mussels are some of the best I’ve ever had. For an entree I’d definitely recommend the chicken parm.
