The service, space, and atmosphere were excellent. Great place to have a midday meeting. Raul and the staff team were very great. The quality and presentation of the food were superb. This is Shrimp Bacon Alfredo with Fettuccine.

Just here to say that my favorite things on the menu are the Honey Pepper Brussel sprouts and the kobacha squash with burrata. This was the first restaurant we ate at once things started opening up after covid lockdown in 2020 so it will always have a special place in my heart!

Ordered take out , alfrado and mozzarella sticks, 2/10 pros the noddles were perfectly done and the cheese in the sticks were good ,cute atmosphereCons:the food had no flavor at all ,needed salt pepper garlic at minimum! The breading in the mozzarella sticks are missing an ingredient, tasted bland smh , the mozzarella sauce soupy and just not it , total spent 36 not worth it , and they couldn’t even put napkins in the bag , I expect more they clearly need a new chef and to be told the truth .

The food has gotten even better, ambiance is good ( and I just found out that they have an outdoor back area), service is good, prices are reasonable, and it’s clean! Had the pan seared red snapper and it came with beautiful veggies and risotto ??? They also have a very good gf pizza crust.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free crust!!!Parking: Easy parking on the streetKid-friendliness: I brought my teens. It’s a bit small for very young kids but probably ok at lunch.

The food was very good ! It was done on time and very quick - I will say it is a bit pricey, but all in all delicious.I always get their signature apple salad & hot honey wings or the pasta alla bolognese

Good food, innovative menu but needs some improvements. Firstly I would request them to check salt levels especially in roasted vegetables and also their blackened mahi came out over cooked. Secondly their seating is very uncomfortable. The tables are too high even for normal size adults for the sofa/bench against the walls and too tight. That said highly recommend trying out - they have great pizza, servers are warm and friendly, the desserts especially brownie with ice cream are awesome.

We arrived at a good time it wasn't crowded on a Friday yet... people did start arriving and it was a nice bit of people as we were leaving.We had the, Cheesy Crispy Eggplant Sliders, Fettuccine alla Funghi and a side of grilled salmon.Everything was good.The pasta could have been seasoned a bit more, I don't naturally put salt on anything but thought this could use salt(there were no salt and pepper shakers at the table). The salmon was cooked very well. The star of the show were the eggplant sliders!The servers were very nice and we were seated in what'd I'd call the best people watching spot!

Okay, when our waiter opened with, “You have to try our famous mozzarella sticks.” I internally rolled my eyes, and thought “Sure bud, ‘famous’ mozzarella sticks..”Let me explain to you just how incredibly wrong I was to think that. Imagine what a perfectly fried mozzarella stick tastes like, then make it TEN times better. That’s how good it was.The service, amazing. The food, amazing.Listen carefully to your waiter, because they know best here!Empirical example: My wife asks for a to go box for the remaining mussel pasta, and ate it all by the time the waiter could walk a few steps to pick up the box.100% recommend this place, it’s a gem.Kid-friendliness: Brought my 9 month old to the table with no issue, and the staff was super helpful.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the exquisite Mozzarella restaurant, as a celebration for our group that consisted of 70 people. I must say, it was an experience to remember. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and welcoming staff who made us feel right at home. The management team was exceptional. And the owner himself ensured that every detail of our dining experience was perfect.The ambiance of the restaurant was simply stunning, with soft lighting, elegant decor, and a cozy atmosphere that made us feel relaxed and comfortable. The service was top-notch, with attentive waitstaff who were always on hand to cater to our every need.And let's talk about the food - it was out of this world! Each dish was a work of art, beautifully presented and bursting with the Mediterranean flavor mixed with the Italian and American tastes. From the appetizers to the desserts, every bite was a delight for the taste buds.Overall, Mozzarella is a gem of a restaurant that truly stands out for its great management, dedicated staff, amazing food, and beautiful setting. I can't wait to go back and experience it soon in my friend’s birthday party. Highly recommended!

The inside of Mozzarella is very homey and decorated really nicely. I would suggest having a reservation, we went on Tuesday and it was empty on arrival but completely full mid dinner.The food here was alright which was disappointing. A lot of the dishes were missing flavor or salt. We had the mozzarella sticks, truffle fries, calamari for appetizers which were okay. For my entree I had the chicken fettuccine. The chicken was good but the pasta was very bland.
