I'll agree that this place is a little over hyped and isn't as good as some people make it out to be. However, it doesn't mean that it doesn't have good food.
When I went there for the first time there was a bit of a wait and I was told that they don't take reservations so it's a little annoying that way.
When we sat down, the place was packed and the atmosphere was "jumpin' " as the kids say.
I ended up getting the Crespelle alla Napoletana which was very good. It's hard to find good Italian food in Toronto and the food at Mezza Notte is on the higher quality side.
It's on the pricey side but if you want a classy night out, this should be an option to consider.
