Mesa de Notte,

2436 East Silver Springs Boulevard, Ocala, FL 34470

"I am simply in awe at the incredible food and service here. I’ve been to Italy numerous times over the course of my life and consider myself an expert in Italian dining. Mesa Notte provides the best Italian food and service I’ve ever had in the United States, and I have eaten all over this country. The fact that I haven’t even heard of this place until yesterday is astounding. I had the Buffalo Burata Antipasta with chicken, Parm, and fettuccine Alfredo. Enjoyed a bottle of wine after having a few samples, and finished it all with desert and espresso. Everything was perfect, nothing left to be desired besides the location/ parking situation. Parking lot sucks but the quality of my meal and service made up for it. Will be returning with family soon."

"Hands down the best Italian meal I have had in Central Florida!! The food is simply amazing and the portions sizes are more than adequate."

"Fantastic place to eat, perfect place to take your date. The mood is perfect, and lights are dimmed to set the mood, with italian classical music playing in the background. The menu is extensive but very detailed. The staff are amazing and help guide you to the perfect meal. They serve complementary fresh bread with a seasoned oil, which is very flavorful. The fresh mozzarella is delicate and delicious. The veal is tender and has amazing flavor that is not too strong. The wilted garlic spinach is light and extremely flavorful, very garlicky. The deserts are perfect. The bartender is the bomb and knows her way around drinks. Excellent job with the Carmel espresso martini. Overall, this is a great place to enjoy dinner with loved ones."

"This was our 2nd time here. The first one was great that is why we came again. The place is not fancy at all but the costumer service is wonderful. It’s quite and clean. It should be nice if they decide to renovate to more modern style but just for the quality of food it’s ok. We tried: 1) Mahi-mahi with mushrooms risotto was delicious 2) Veal with Parmesan risotto: yummy 3) Chicken parmigiana with capellini with marinara sauce: good 4) Fagioli pasta soup is sooo good, you must try it 5)As an appetizer last time we had a Brie cheese with a layer of “jam fig” wrapped with pastry and and beaked. It’s served with a different fine cut vegetables… it’s was really good!"
