Dropped in for a light meal and really enjoyed the overall experience. This feels like the kind of spot where sharing small plates is the best way to enjoy the menu since it lets everyone sample a variety of flavors. While the main dishes were decent, the atmosphere truly stood out. The outdoor seating was calm and relaxing with a lovely view of Palmer Square, which made the visit even more enjoyable.

We shared the sweet potato falafel. It was excellent. The pasta-less lasagna was delicious, as was the rigatoni. We are only restrained from giving 4stars because of the limited serving size.

Our family has been coming to Mediterra for years, and it continues to be our go-to spot for special occasions in Princeton. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, perfect for celebrations or simply enjoying a great meal.

One of my all-time favorite dishes here is their paella—flavorful, perfectly cooked, and generously portioned. Every visit, the food is consistently excellent, and the service is always attentive and welcoming. You can tell the staff takes pride in what they do, and it shows in the overall dining experience.

Whether you’re celebrating something special or just looking for a reliably great meal, Mediterra never disappoints. Highly recommended!

I recently dined at Mediterra Restaurant & Taverna, and the experience felt like stepping into a timeless corner of the Mediterranean. The highlight of the evening was undoubtedly the risotto—rich, velvety, and cooked with a patience you can taste. Each bite carried a gentle depth, the grains perfectly tender yet still holding their character. The flavors were balanced with a classic touch, allowing the ingredients to shine without ever feeling heavy. It’s the kind of dish that doesn’t try too hard; it simply reminds you how good true craftsmanship can be.

The dessert brought the night to an elegant close. It had that old-world charm—simple, refined, and memorable. The sweetness was measured, never overwhelming, and the textures played together like a quiet harmony. It felt like something made with intention, the kind of dessert that lingers with you long after the last bite.

Mediterra offers not just a meal, but an experience rooted in tradition and detail. From the atmosphere to the final note of dessert, everything felt thoughtfully curated. I’ll definitely be returning.

My husband and I went to Mediterra Restaurant & Taverna for a dinner date, and we absolutely loved it! The service was excellent—attentive and friendly without being intrusive. The food was outstanding, especially the seafood rice, which was my favorite. If you’re a seafood lover, this is the perfect place to indulge! And of course, the hummus and pita bread were delicious as well. The only thing I noticed was that the prices felt a bit high, maybe because of the location. But overall, the experience was fantastic!

My family and I came here for Mother’s Day. We have an amazing time. The food was great as well as our drinks. Our server Shellbe went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves she was even great with our two kids. I would definitely recommend the restaurant and it’s a plus if Shellbe is your server!

We were recently invited to a birthday brunch at Mediterra, and it was our first time trying the food. We had the house-made spaghetti, steak and eggs, NJ salad, clam chowder, and the strawberry rhubarb crisp. While the dessert didn’t quite win us over, the rest of the dishes were absolutely delicious and well-executed.

What truly stood out, though, was the incredible service we received from Mia, our server for the event. Despite the large and lively crowd, Mia was a total rockstar — attentive, calm, and always smiling. She made sure everyone was taken care of, drinks were filled, and every little request was handled with such ease.

A big shoutout to Mia for making our first experience at Mediterra so memorable — she’s a gem!

Decent restaurant in a nice location. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Overall the food was good. We ordered the calamari and arancini as appetizers. The calamari was very good but the portion size was small. The arancini was delicious.

For the entrees we got steak and eggs, spaghetti with homemade sauce, shakshuka, and salmon. I would recommend the steak and eggs overall. Everything else was good overall.

Quiet late afternoon dinner. We sat inside even though outside was a perfect day. Sinners was fabulous. Florida swordfish and Gnocchi. Both dishes were very good. Finished with Afergotto. We’ll be back again and again and again.
