Mezzaluna
Ristorante
Oaxaca, Mexico
Billy and Akaisha Kaderli
Oaxaca, Mexico
is known for the variety of quality restaurants and food selections. We stumbled
upon Mezzaluna Italian Ristorante on one of our
walks
through the streets of the city, and decided to take advantage of their
daily lunch special.
Mezzaluna Restorante
(Crescent Restaurant)
Mezzaluna is known for its
wood fired, thin crust pizzas. Real mozzarella is used instead of imitation and
the word on the street is that it's the best pizza in town.
If pizza is not your thing,
the menu also offers pastas, chicken and meat dishes too.
Menu of the day
This was a great deal.
For 120Pesos, or about
$6.50US at the time, the daily menu gives you a glass of wine or a beer, Aztec
soup, a fresh salad, your choice of ribs in green sauce or a country plate, and
a cup of terrific mountain grown, Oaxacan coffee.
We were captivated and
eagerly went inside.
Our waiter, our table,
our view of the street
Both of us ordered the
daily special with the pork ribs, and our waiter arrived promptly with our glass
of red wine.
As we enjoyed our meal, we
were able to people watch and delight in the action on the street.
Aztec soup
Beautifully presented and
delicious in flavor, we slurped on our Aztec soup with mild cheese, slice of
avocado, a piece of chicharone and fresh corn chips.
Fresh garden salad
The salad consisted of a
variety of lettuces and greens, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. Dressing was a
mild but delectable vinaigrette.
Main course
Pork ribs in a sea of
salsa verde (not too spicy) with a squash blossom flower in a rolled leek
was our main course.
The chef has an artistic
eye.
Our bill
Everything in our meal was
included and for $13USD plus tip for the two of us, we had such a tasty lunch.
Mezzaluna is a corner
restaurant
The downstairs restaurant
was breezy and comfortable. Seating for about 15 customers is available here,
but what is a favorite with Mezzaluna's clientele is their rooftop deck.
From here you have a
full 360 degree view of the street below and all of the activity. Watch the sun
set and the moon rise here while eating a delicious meal.
If you visit Oaxaca city,
most certainly make a stop and have a cocktail, glass of wine and enjoy a plate
of Italian delight.
