Established in 1983, Mezzo is home to the freshest salads and sandwiches, with huge portions and healthy homemade ingredients. 

Mezzo is a casual eatery offering salads, sandwiches, and soups all made right in front of you, exactly how you'd like it. Known for our homemade ingredients and cheery environment, we have been here serving up our delicious honey wheat bread and poppyseed dressing since 1983. Mezzo re-opened in June 2017 after burning down in 2011. Since reopening, we have evolved and updated our name (formerly Cafe Intermezzo), but have kept our menu full of the classics. 

The updated interior space includes modern touches while integrating some charming and funky pieces from the original cafe. Walking through the restaurant leads to one of the largest outdoor patios in the area with a bocce court and bean bag toss. Mezzo is fully connected to Raleigh's, the bar next door. Come grab a salad or sandwich then head up the ramp to pair it with a delicious local craft beer!

San francisco chronicle - An ode to the chef salad

Journalist Omar Mamoon talks about his own personal connection to Mezzo during his years at UC Berkeley, and how other restaurants have tried to recreate their own versions of the classic Mezzo Chef Salad—-all to varying degrees of success!

berkeleyside - how does Mezzo compare to Intermezzo?

Six Intermezzo superfans were invited to try out the new version of Mezzo after our 2017 re-opening. They each have fond memories of the first version of Mezzo, but can all agree that the same spirit abounds, and that, most importantly, the flavors are just what they remember!
