Mezzo
restaurant
A Berkeley staple for huge custom salads on homemade honey wheat bread, opening onto a massive patio with a bocce court.
Description
Soups, sandwiches, and salads are assembled to order in plain view, accompanied by house fixtures like their long-running poppyseed dressing. Rebuilt in 2017 after a 2011 fire claimed the original Cafe Intermezzo, the interior incorporates funky, salvaged pieces from the earlier era alongside modern finishes. Out back, the open-air patio adds a bean bag toss to the yard games, while a connecting ramp leads straight into Raleigh's next door for local craft beer.
