Mezza Luna Hampstead is an Italian restaurant at 102 Heath Street in the heart of Hampstead. The warm dining room is designed for relaxed family gatherings, date nights and unhurried meals built around traditional Italian flavours. Dinner is served through the week from Tuesday, with lunch and dinner available at weekends.
Antipasti range from asparagus gratinated with butter and Parmesan to tomato, buffalo mozzarella and avocado salad. Garlic prawns with cherry tomatoes and white wine, calamari with courgettes, bruschetta topped with burrata and grilled sardines provide several seafood choices. Beef carpaccio, bresaola with rocket, Parma ham with melon and a mixed selection of cured meats bring classic Italian ingredients to the table.
Pasta is a central part of the menu, including spaghetti with clams, carbonara with guanciale and egg yolk, penne amatriciana and bigoli with beef ragù. Tagliatelle can be paired with fresh porcini or duck ragù, while seafood pasta combines mussels, calamari, clams and prawns. Spinach and ricotta tortelloni and lobster ravioli offer filled pasta alternatives with richer sauces.
Beyond pasta, diners can choose veal Milanese, veal with lemon and capers, grilled steak, lamb shank or ossobuco with saffron risotto. Cod, sea bass, sea bream and halibut extend the seafood selection, while asparagus and champagne risotto provides a meat free main. Tiramisu, panna cotta, chocolate mousse, gelato and affogato complete the meal alongside Italian wine and coffee.
