4th OF JULY SURVIVAL KIT
We wish you a very happy and restful 4th of July!
And, to help with the restful part, we have prepared a GRILL BOX that you can order by calling Mezzanotte at (832) 717-7870 or sending a message to my e-mailbox at gerry@mezzanote.tv . Each GRILL BOX includes 2 beautiful 12 oz NY Strip steaks, vegetables to grill, and 2 pieces of our delicious Tiramisu. The meats and veggies are seasoned, vacuum packed, and ready to grill (we include a side of Chimichurri sauce also) and the Tiramisu is ready to enjoy. All you have to do is turn on your grill and open a nice bottle of wine (a Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Zinfandel and/or a Chianti will do the job). The price of the GRILL BOX is $39 - you can order until Friday night and pick it up between 5 and 10 PM on Saturday July 2.
Cheers! |

PLEASE VOTE FOR US!
There is a new online restaurant contest called Houston Entree Awards and we have been nominated in the Italian Casual category. I would argue that we belong in a different category but, what the heck. They probably figure that by being in Cypress we must be "casual" and not "fine". Doesn't matter. Please vote for us to help get our name and our cuisine out there. Here is the link:
HOUSTON ENTREE AWARDS
You will be able to vote for other restaurants in the process in categories that you may recognize (breakfast, Mexican, etc).
This is just round 1 and we hope to move on to round 2. We will keep you posted of the results.
Thanks a lot for your support!!! |

NEW WINE LIST!
Our July 2011 wine list is now released and ready to go! We have greatly expanded it and now we are up to 119 different labels. We are still aiming at ending the year with 200 labels in our portfolio. This is quite a challenge as there are THOUSANDS of wines out there. Not only do we have to taste continuously to discover the hidden gems but we also have to keep up with discontinued wines or exhausted vintages. There is nothing more frustrating than finding a great wine only to realize, a few months later, that we can't get it anymore!
So this is an ongoing and never ending process but an enjoyable one!
Please check out our July '11 menu and let us know what you think. I am sure that you will find something to love.
Cheers! |

To accompany this great dinner we have selected two fantastic French wines that you can have by the glass for $5:
- Bordeaux Blend Chateau Bonnet Rouge - 50% cab, 50% Merlot
- Rhone Blend Delas Cotes du Ventoux - 80% Grenache, 20% Syrah
Please let us know what you think.
Hope to see you then!
