Reviews
"I have been a regular at this restaurant since the 80's. It has been one of our favourite places because of its quality. We celebrated my wife's 60th birthday there. It would usually score 5 stars on every category. On Saturday we were placed next to a large noisy group, the waiter changed mid meal and the food was not up to its normally high standard. The lamb main meal was poor such that my wife could not eat it. One of our special places lost its charm in the process...."
"I recently visited Mezzalira and had a wonderful dining experience. The restaurant has a cozy and inviting atmosphere, and the service was top-notch. One of the standout dishes was the Fish of the Day, which was cooked to perfection and had a delicious flavor. I also tried the Tiramisu for dessert, and it was heavenly - creamy and full of flavor. Overall, I highly recommend Mezzalira for anyone looking for a great Italian dining experience in Canberra City. The food, service, and atmosphere are all top-notch, and I can't wait to visit again."
"Good food and service. It's a got warm ambience with street corner views. The owner's dedication to this establishment shines through. It has a decent wine list and the focaccia with olives is made well. Roast potatoes are real and cooked with olive oil. It's worth a visit for a special occasion."
"Good restaurant i was very hungry. I had the scallops (3) for $32! but very good Carpaccio, lamb, linguini prawns and chocolate orange torte. A bit expensive but I haven't been to Canberra before, so it might be more expensive than Brisbane service: good. prompt, attentioned without being in the way (they were quite busy all night, on a Tuesday) . food presentation is nice. I ate too much :)"
