Mezzeh wine bar

Great experience! The place was fully booked, pleased that we made a reservation. They offer complimentary bread and olives for every table, their starters are great, specially the calamari. As main, I was very happy with fillet mignon with wine and mushroom sauce. The crispy courgettes on the side with the main dish were delicious. Nice double espresso after the meal. And, of course, they offered limoncello shots after the bill. The service was excellent, they did not rush to make us leave quick, even the restaurant was busy, served well and food preparation was rapid enough. The only downside to the restaurant is the location due to the parking limitation and the closest car park is very busy, difficult to find a spot.

Can't go wrong here. However, beware you won't get pizza here. Which definitely isn't a bad thing. Italian cuisine shouldn't be defined by one food item and there is plenty of other delicious choices on offer. I came here with work as part of a large group. I didn't get to see the bill because someone else paid but the olives and bread provided upon arrival presumably were complimentary but I can't confirm that for certain. Please check other reviews! The bread and olives were delicious, the bread was slightly warm and fluffy and paired perfectly with the olives. Once we were all sat down and comfortable the waiter came and took our drinks order which was a mixture of softies, Peroni and two bottles of house wine. I had the wine which was more than drinkable. When the waiter came to take our food order, for starters I ordered the Grilled Sardines and for mains I ordered the Cannelloni Limoncello (veal filled pasta tubes). Both these dishes were delightful and I personally preferred the sardines as they were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The cannelloni was enjoyable but I wouldn't shout over the rooftops about it. From the rest of our group it seems like all the other dishes were enjoyed but again nobody was raving about it. The service was good and the waiter was good enough to mostly remember what we ordered to give our food without asking which is an often overlooked waiting skill. The interior decor was wonderful as it transported you to a small Bijou in Italy. However the main reason this gets a 4 from me is because of the food, with Italian restaurants being on every street corner these days the bar is pretty high and in my opinion Limoncello doesn't quite get there. I wouldn't write this place off though. Please do come here ad have your own opinion as the food is good and the prices from what I saw were very reasonable. I will be coming here again as there was so much more to try, for example the steak selection!

Fantastic family run restaurant. Their signature 'battered courgette' is well worth having. The steaks where a really good size, perfectly cooked. Highly recommend. Excellent service.
