Mediterraneo — Restaurant in Alpine

I had the pleasure of dining at Mediterraneo Italian Restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. Enzo, the owner, truly understands what it means to create an inviting and family-friendly atmosphere, not just for his customers but also for his staff.

The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, with a warm and welcoming environment that immediately puts you at ease. It's clear that Enzo has put a lot of thought into making Mediterraneo a place where families can gather and enjoy a meal together. The ambiance is perfect, with just the right balance of elegance and comfort.

As for the food, it’s nothing short of spectacular. In my 25 years of enjoying Italian cuisine, Mediterraneo stands out as the best I’ve ever had. Every dish is prepared with the freshest ingredients and a level of care that you can taste in every bite. Whether you're a fan of traditional dishes or looking to try something new, you'll find something to love here. The pasta is perfectly cooked, the sauces are rich and flavorful, and the desserts are the perfect end to a fantastic meal.

What really sets Mediterraneo apart, though, is the phenomenal customer service. Enzo and his team go above and beyond to make every guest feel like part of the family. It’s rare to find a place where the staff is just as happy and well-treated as the customers, and it shows in the service. Everyone is friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making your dining experience unforgettable.

In short, Mediterraneo Italian Restaurant is a gem. It’s not just a place to eat; it’s a place to gather, celebrate, and enjoy the best of what Italian cuisine has to offer. If you're looking for a family-friendly restaurant with outstanding food and service, look no further. Enzo has created something truly...

9.5/10 The restaurant is beautiful. The ambiance is nearly impeccable. Frank Sinatra crooning while you eat authentic imported Italian pasta over a well prepared drink is nearly perfection.

The waitresses were kind, prompt, and efficient. The manager himself was getting his hands dirty helping around the restaurant. The kind of manager you want overseeing the place you're eating. The decor was cute, down to the genuine Vespa inside the actual restaurant, beckoning you for an Italian adventure. The people around our table seemed pleased with their meals judging from the nods and consumption. The silverware and glassware were clean, no water spots or residue to be seen. Napkins were crisp, no stains. Tables wiped, chairs level and maintained. Genuinely one of the cleanest establishments I've ventured through.

The half point was deducted from the restrooms. Although both were clean(I may have peaked into the opposite bathroom as well), they left a little something to be desired after the charm of the restaurant. I found myself slightly disappointed at the lack of "immersion" into the Italian theme after the wimsy of the rest of the decor.

Passing the kitchen, the cooks seemed in good spirits. Smiling, joking with one another. The camadre you find only in well-run restaurants.

The food is fantastic. Generous portions, not greasy, beautifully plated. The tomatoes tasted fresh, juicy. The bruchetta is a must try. All in all, this is a lovely restaurant. Great food,...

The food was delicious. We had the mozzarella sticks and wings for appetizers, and for dinner, we ordered the Margherita Pizza and the Salsiccia E Funghi. Both were delicious! The mozzarella tasted fresh, and the Margherita was light. Prefect crust. I also ordered the cucumber refresher, but I have to be honest it wasn't that refreshing. It had a very bitter taste to it, and I wouldn't recommend it unless you like bitter cucumber. So for atmosphere I had to go a 1 only because the music which I do like, wasn't the best type to play at a restaurant. Was punkish/alternative. Also, I didn't want to bring this up, but the bartender was a bit loud, and her voice resonated over to the room next to the bar, and the language was very foul. Good thing we didn't have small children to ask about the words she was spewing out. I spew out those words myself, but not in my place of work. Other than that, the food was...
