Check Mezzaluna Hours and Plan Pizza or Pasta
Find the right lunch or dinner window, check the afternoon service break, and save a reminder before visiting this Third Avenue trattoria.
How do Mezzaluna hours shape your visit?
Check Mezzaluna hours before choosing an arrival time: this Manhattan trattoria at 1295 Third Avenue serves lunch and dinner in separate windows, rather than continuously through the afternoon. Its wood-fired pizza and pastas make it a candidate for lunch or a pasta dinner, but the practical decision is whether your schedule matches its split service. The Third Avenue restaurant lists a noon opening every day and a 5 PM dinner reopening. The afternoon break matters as much as the closing time when deciding whether to head over now or plan for later.
Mezzaluna hours run noon–3:30 PM and 5–10 PM Monday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday extend lunch to 4 PM and dinner to 10:30 PM; Sunday keeps the 4 PM lunch finish but closes dinner at 10 PM. Pick the window first, then use the phone number below if your timing is tight.
The restaurant's source description presents an Italian-style setting established in 1984, with seasonal produce, appetizers, pizzas and pastas. That supports a dining choice, not a promise about today's specials, an available table or a particular dish price.

Planning limits: the listed weekly schedule does not confirm holiday changes, table availability, reservations, parking or step-free access. Confirm those separately rather than treating missing information as a yes.
How do Mezzaluna hours differ by day?
The important weekday difference appears at the end of lunch. From Monday through Thursday, the listed lunch window finishes at 3:30 PM, followed by a return at 5 PM. That creates a ninety-minute afternoon interval with no listed service. On Friday, Saturday and Sunday, lunch continues until 4 PM, narrowing the interval before dinner to one hour. If you are comparing a late lunch with an early dinner, use those boundaries rather than assuming the kitchen runs straight through.
Mezzaluna hours also differ after dinner: Friday and Saturday list a 10:30 PM finish, while Monday through Thursday and Sunday list 10 PM. Only Friday and Saturday carry the later dinner closing in the recorded weekly schedule. A Sunday visit therefore has the longer lunch window without the later evening finish.
These are useful planning distinctions, not last-order or seating policies. The source does not state how late the restaurant accepts new diners or whether a particular day has an exception. Allow time to eat within the chosen window, and call if arriving near the edge. A reminder for the 5 PM reopening can help separate your dinner plan from an afternoon arrival that the published schedule does not support.


How can you choose pizza or pasta?
Start with the food categories the restaurant actually describes: pizzas, pastas and appetizers. Its summary identifies wood-fired cooking, while the longer description emphasizes seasonal produce and high-quality ingredients used for straightforward Italian cooking. Those details distinguish the meal's general direction without establishing a current menu, an exact topping list or the price of a plate.
The setting is described as a cozy trattoria with Italian style, established in 1984. That history can help explain the restaurant's identity, but it cannot tell you whether your preferred dish is available tonight. Choose the food style first, then verify the specific dish if an ingredient or dietary requirement is central to the decision. The photos provide a look at the venue's own recorded food and exterior, not a guarantee that every photographed item remains on the menu.
Use Mezzaluna hours to place that choice inside a lunch or dinner window. The $$ price marker is a broad signal only; it supplies no defensible cost for a pizza, pasta, drink or complete meal. Ask the restaurant directly about current choices and prices instead of turning that marker into a made-up budget.
What should you confirm before dinner?
A useful dinner plan separates the facts already supplied from the questions still open. You have the address, the recorded weekly windows and the restaurant's phone number. You do not have a reservation policy, a booking link, a live table count or an exact meal price. Call (212) 535-9600 if any of those details determines whether you will make the trip. Asking is different from assuming that a table can be reserved, that walk-ins are guaranteed or that a particular service is available.
When checking Mezzaluna hours, say which day and which arrival window you mean. A weekday afternoon, a Friday evening and a Sunday dinner do not share identical boundaries. Confirm the detail that could change your decision rather than treating the general schedule as a promise about seating. If your timing changes, revisit the listed lunch finish and dinner reopening before heading to 1295 Third Avenue.
The source also leaves transport, parking and accessibility arrangements unconfirmed. That absence should remain visible for anyone whose visit depends on those facilities. Save a planning reminder after choosing your day, and keep the remaining questions with it.
What else should you know about Mezzaluna?
What are Mezzaluna hours on weekdays?
Monday through Thursday list noon–3:30 PM for lunch and 5–10 PM for dinner. Friday has a different schedule: noon–4 PM and 5–10:30 PM. Check the day before choosing an afternoon arrival or an evening finish.
How do Mezzaluna hours change on weekends?
Saturday lists noon–4 PM and 5–10:30 PM; Sunday lists noon–4 PM and 5–10 PM. Mezzaluna hours therefore include the same afternoon break on both days, but Sunday ends dinner thirty minutes earlier than Saturday.
Where is Mezzaluna in Manhattan?
The recorded address is 1295 Third Avenue, Manhattan, New York. Use that full street address when arranging the visit. The source does not provide a verified transit route or parking arrangement, so neither is promised here.
Does Mezzaluna serve pizza or pasta?
Both appear in the restaurant description, alongside appetizers. The summary specifically mentions wood-fired pizzas and simple pastas. Those categories describe its cooking style; they do not confirm today's complete menu, a particular topping or the availability of a photographed dish.
What does the price information tell me?
The source supplies a $$ marker, not itemized prices. It cannot establish the cost of a main course or a complete meal. Request current menu prices directly if a spending limit affects your decision; no exact budget is inferred here.
Can I reserve a table before visiting?
The source includes the restaurant's phone number, (212) 535-9600, but no booking policy or booking link. Call to confirm Mezzaluna hours and ask about arrangements for your intended visit. This page does not assert that reservations are required, accepted or unnecessary.
What rating is recorded for Mezzaluna?
The source snapshot records 4.4 out of 5 from 363 ratings. Treat that as recorded context, not a live score or a guarantee about any individual meal. It does not establish waiting times, availability or suitability for a specific dietary need.
Is parking or step-free access confirmed?
Neither is confirmed in the supplied main-venue information. If access or parking is essential, ask the restaurant before traveling. Mezzaluna hours can help identify a service window, but they do not answer questions about the building entrance or nearby facilities.
