Mezzo Ristorante and Lounge

A good, stylish restaurant in the center of the Via Italia, Windsor’s Erie Street Italian strip. The ambitious food varies from pretty good to great. The meal starts with a thoughtful touch, a “tasting” of a complimentary morsel from the chef. The chef’s wild mushroom soup is a supberb puree of portobello, porcini and oyster mushrooms. Lobster is paired with crab in the delightful housemade ravioli with a Pernod-flavored sauce. The menu even includes pasta "nero," made with squid ink.
