If you want to experience the charm of Italian cuisine, have high requirements for service and environment, but do not want to pay too much money, then Mezzo Italian Restaurant on the second floor of Sheraton Greater China Hotel is definitely your first choice. Mezzo is honest about his chef without exaggerating it, and the current chef is Chinese Huang Hua, who began his culinary career in 2006 and has worked in several international brand hotels.
Mezzo's selection of appetizers is relatively plentiful, with duck liver being one of the chef's recommendations. Choose Lianyungang pure corn to feed the duck liver, the skin is fried, crispy and delicious, the inside is tender and the fat is just right, containing a hint of nutty aroma, wrapped in a layer of homemade red wine onion sauce, the fat of the duck liver is rejected, the taste is colorful, the taste is good. In addition, veal tenderloin, seafood salad, and Caesar salad are also well matched, and the products are well received.
The veal tenderloin for the main dish is also a good choice. The ingredients are carefully selected veal tenderloin meat raised for 120 days, and cooked at a low temperature of 51 degrees for 20 minutes to maximize the internal moisture of the beef. When you cut the beef, you can see the extreme pink color inside, and the original taste and nutrition of the beef are preserved. The beef crust is wrapped in authentic Parma ham, and the meat-to-meat combination is not the slightest greasy, leaving the meat-eater feeling full and satisfied. However, Mezzo has fewer choices of grills, providing 4 types of Australian Wagyu beef sirloin and French lamb chops, but the products are much better than Wang Pin. For pasta and risotto, we recommend spicy flat pasta and seafood risotto, which are authentic and can be adjusted to suit the needs of diners.
Classic tiramisu is also a must-go choice at Mezzo. The chef has added the Italian spirit "Masala" to it, which is skillfully blended with the dryness of cocoa powder and the sweetness of cream, resulting in a silky and rich taste.
Lunch options are available at RMB99 (two-course) and RMB199 (three-course), while dinner sets for two are RMB588 (three-course) and RMB688 (four-course) respectively, and single menus range from RMB418 to RMB688.
Mezzo is the Italian word for "in-between" and expresses the relaxed Italian attitude to life. The same is true for the decoration of the restaurant, with warm yellow as the main tone, clean and neat decorative lines, spacious space, large table spacing, and a quiet environment during general meal times, which is very suitable for one person to dine. In addition, Mezzo has two private rooms that can accommodate 8~12 people and 12~20 people respectively. Its waiters are mainly interns, but the standard is satisfactory, the rules and regulations are standardized, the clearance and withdrawal are orderly, and no service fee is charged, which is worthy of recognition.
