Mezzo - Berkeley

This must be a great place to bulk up as the sandwiches and salads are enormous (earning their $15 price tags), so we brought food home or would share between the two of us next time. Everything was freshly prepared and very tasty. Very good sized patio in the back (invisible from the street), and parking lot about one block away.

Impressive. The freshness and generosity of portions is worth the wait. The serving sizes can easily be shared. The bread is amazing. Each order is prepared on the spot. There is a parking garage one block towards the campus.

Stopped in at lunchtime for a cool drink and a quiet chat. The mint lemonade was delicious and the outdoor dining area was shady and quiet enough to chat despite the lunch rush. It's very popular at lunchtime, so be prepared to stand in line for a few minutes before entering.

That was the one place I always had to go when I was in town. it was heartbreaking and for years I went without tasty cheap salads. there was no other replacement. then it came back and it was just as good as we all remembered. huge portions, fresh ingredients, homemade bread and these dressings?. yes, please.

Friendly, responsive staff. Prompt service. Delicious food. Good value. Always a pleasure going to Intermezzo! Quickly becomes a new favorite of friends and family who try it.Very grateful for the hardworking people behind the counter. Treat them well and leave a damn tip!Follow-up February 2022: Still solid service and delicious food.
