Bar Mezzana is a coastal Italian restaurant by Chef Colin Lynch at Ink Block in Boston’s South End, specializing in crudo and hand-made pasta. Signature dishes like Chicken Under a Brick, Grilled Octopus and Orecchiette with Sausage have become instant classics. Seasonal menu updates incorporate flavors from local farmers and purveyors. The crudo menu changes daily - think Nantucket bay scallops and razor clams along with Japanese and European delicacies like shima aji and lubina. All are expertly prepared with bright touches of citrus, oils and salts.
Reserve in the dining room for a family dinner or date night. Enjoy the bar and lounge for bar snacks and a great burger. A private dining room is available for a business event or intimate party for up to 12. Any night of the week, Bar Mezzana welcomes with a thoughtful wine list, delightful cocktails, delicious food and friendly staff!

    Great food, service, and ambience. A little noisy but not so much that you couldn't enjoy a conversation with friends.

    We all loved our different pasta dishes, appetizers, drinks and desserts. The service was quick and unobtrusive. All the hot drinks and dishes arrived hot, that seems to be unusual these days! We will definitely go back.

    Our waiter was excellent and everything that we had to eat was very good. The size of our entrées and drinks were extremely small. We almost felt like it was just that they were giving us freebies to treat us because it was valentines weekend. They did not feel like they were actually real items that we had ordered directly e yo being extremely small. We were also seated directly next to another couple within like a foot and a half or so. That was way too close and made us feel quite uncomfortable. .
