Mediterra Restaurant & Taverna

We were touring Princeton and decided to have lunch.
My goddaughter chose because they have oysters. My goddaughter and I ordered the salmon and her mom ordered the Pastaless lasagna The food was delicious except I hate when they leave the skin on salmon and put seasoning on top.
Once off we lost flavor but it was still somewhat tasty!! It’s in a great location near many stores and seems to be a great place to have lunch and/or dinner.
Most of the staff were very friendly especially the gentleman who was most likely manager.
I highly recommend this restaurant.

I absolutely love coming to Mediterra.
It's my favorite dinner restaurant in Princeton.
The food is top notch, and the service is always extremely friendly and accommodating. Tonight we made a reservation for outdoor seating with a large group of 10 adults and 3 dogs.
Normally you can make reservations on Open Table but a group this big required a phone call.
They were more than happy to help us out and during dinner, even checked regularly to make sure the dogs had enough water. Nicholas, our server, was the best server I've had in a very long time in any restaurant.
He was friendly, attentive, and very funny! He had some pretty good jokes and not the same old lame restaurant jokes. He had good recommendations for drinks and food alike.
Very knowledgeable and still went above and beyond when our group ordered. We wanted a big dish of their paella to share family style, and still have separate entries.
Nicholas recommended to get 2 servings of the paella for 2, instead of one giant dish in the middle of the table, to make it easier to share.
When the food got sent out still in one giant dish, he personally helped to split it evenly into the two servings for each side of the table.
He even made sure to plate the smaller servings well so it looked like it came out of the kitchen that way! He also had the kitchen evenly split the few entrees that our group decided to share between couples! I can't say enough nice things about Nicholas and how he made our night with a large group, feel special and like we were the only patrons dining that night, even though they were pretty busy. My recommendations: the papas bravas (!!!), the raw oysters were delicious if you like them.
The pastas are excellent, so is the pork loin and the steak, and absolutely get the paella!! It is their signature dish.
My mom said it tasted better than the paella she ate when she visited Valencia, Spain last summer.

My visit to Mediterra was a real treat.
I came here with family on a Sunday evening with a reservation, although the place wasn’t too busy at that time.
The waitress was super friendly and went out of her way to make our night special, even helping with a surprise cake for us from the family.
The menu had something for everyone, including some solid vegetarian options.
I had the house-made lumache, and I loved it.
It’s a mushroom carbonara with truffle, pecorino, and a runny egg - it was hands down the best pasta I've had in a while.
It had this earthy kick that really set it apart.
If you're into seafood, there’s some good options there as well.
All in all, Mediterra nailed it with great food and service.
Definitely worth checking out.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
