Cafe Mezzanotte - Northchase

Unique cocktails, Delicious, perfectly cooked pasta! Excellent gelato and wonderful service. It was a quiet Thursday night at the restaurant so I don't know what the noise level would be if the restaurant was full.

Arugula salad with shaved parm was soooo good, as was the complimentary bread with brushetta topping on the side. My husband enjoyed the chicken parm with pasta, and it was a very large portion. I honestly wasn't crazy about my fettuccine bolognese. It was a bit bland. I had to request salt and pepper to help it along, since there was none on the table. But I've been here several times and it's always good. I'll be back.

Chris the bartender is amazing, he can make any drink you ask or give him a hint of what you like and he will make you something, Chris never disappoints in his unique cocktails. Chris knows what wines to pair with dinner as well! Sergio the chef is unbelievable, the Bronzino melts in your mouth and the special that night was a clam pasta dish, the best I have ever had! This is definitely our go to restaurant for a great meal, drinks and service!

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.
