Their website and photos do the place far more visual justice than I can, especially since my camera got broken and I am operating off my BlackBerry camera (sorry Research In Motion, but your camera function isn't great on your device). Check them out at www.mezzogiorno.com.mx - it will feel like you've had an exotic break away just looking at the pictures on their site.
We stopped by for an impromptu lunch on Valentine's Day and were immediately greeted by name ("Hi Lisa and John") as soon as we walked in. We're kind of semi-regulars, but there is no way I would expect pretty much all the waiters to remember us by name! It makes you feel pretty special, I must say.
We shared a Caprese salad, done with lightly roasted and peeled tomatoes, the most delectable boconcini cheese, and a tart-sweet balsamic reduction...in a word, divine.
After that, we shared one of their ciabatta sandwiches made with roasted Mediterranean veggies, cured ham, mortadella and provolone cheeses, served with a side salad. You can see why we shared it - the portions are generous. Their ciabatta bread melts in your mouth, versus the styrofoam that most ciabatta resembles.
I'm sure we'll fit in a couple of more visits to Mezzogiorno before we depart - either for lunch or dinner, or an afternoon spent at "M On The Beach" which is their beach lounge area with chaises, beach towels and umbrellas provided for your comfort as you contemplate the surf and sip your drink. There's no better place to take in the sunset.
Todo bien. (It's all good.)
