Mezza Luna is in Jones Valley, a little far from this UAH group's usual lunch time range, but worth the drive on occasion. The restaurant uses natural, local and organic meat and produce, and claims to infuse its Mediterranean cuisine with southern inspiration. More upscale than some of the sandwich places we've tried, it is still casual and not too expensive - the chicken club we came for is $9.00.
Everything that makes a chicken club sandwich really good, Mezza Luna does better, starting with moist, tender chunks of chicken instead of deli slices. The pancetta is a thick and crunchy, what bacon wishes it could be. Add provolone cheese, roasted red peppers and arugula, top it off with garlic aioli on a dense and crispy ciabatta bun, and you have a great sandwich!
The group agreed this one ranks near the top, along with Papa Gyro's gyro and of course, Lyn's fried bologna.
Mezza Luna also has a lovely patio when the weather is pleasant, and a good wine list (with half price bottles on Thursday evenings).
