Mezzo Ristorante - Stockton (CA)

5 /5 Ryan Overland: Date night review: classy business casual ambiance. Small interior but not noisy. Food was absolutely amazing. You could tell the chef took care for teach plate. Server was very attentive. Pictured is a mocktail, appetizer salad featuring rock prawns, shrimp Alfredo entree and pork Marsala entree. 10/10 recommend.

1 /5 Teresa Martinez: I came to the restaurant when on a business trip, so I was alone. When I walked in the place was empty and I was told I could only sit at the bar or outside. It was kind of cold but I took the patio just to have a table. Less than 10 minutes later a couple walked in and was seated in the dining room. And they continued to seat in the dining room and no one was seated in the patio. Kind of felt profiled. When I told my waiter this was my first time at the restaurant he didnt explain anything or offer any suggestions he just told me look at the menu and Ill be back! I place my order for a dish that had spare ribs. He said, " You know a spare rib doesnt have a bone, like youre probably used to." Again, I felt profiled and I wanted to walk out right then. I told him that I knew what a spare rib was and I knew what I was ordering. After he brought my food I never saw him again. Was never able to order a second drink. Another waiter cleaned off spilled water on my table, that was there when I was seated. The bus boy picked up my dirty plates. And I sat for about 10 minutes before the waiter ever showed back up again. He never apologized for not coming around. Or asked if I even enjoyed my meal. The food was mediocre. But I may have a tainted opinion because of how bad the service was. I paid my bill and then had to shimmy my way out of an extremely packed dining area. Which was even more frustrating! I really wanted to enjoy this meal. As it was highly recommended from the concierge at my hotel. Oh well they all cant be great right?

5 /5 Brandon Wong: This place has become a new favorite of mine. Its always a pleasure to eat here and it is clear the chef has an eye for the details. The dishes are modern and aim to hit all the notes, yet are recognizable and not stacked inches high. The menu changes by the season, so the menu never gets dull. Service is very friendly. In particular, their pasta dishes are clearly made to order. My favorites are the crab cakes, short rib ragu, and salmon on black rice. Again, menu is seasonal so these items may not always be available - but try them when they are! My only complaint is that the specials can be really hit or miss.
