Food:
Mediterraneo is as Italian as you can get! Owned and managed by an Italian the food is authentic, freshly cooked and hits the spot every time. There is a full range pasta, meats, cheese/breads and of course pizza!
Desserts are well worth writing home about to! Try the apple crumble with ice cream!
If you're up for a nice bottle of wine or an ice cold beer to wash it down with, the selection is wide and varied.

While it not the cheapest place to eat, it is actually quite reasonably priced. Most starters go around $4 - $8USD while mains will set you back a little more. The wines prices vary greatly depending on your choose and beers, fruit shakes and soft drinks are just a few dollars each.
Fav Food:
With freshly made pasta and authentic cooking you will hard pressed to find a bad option here. The seafood pasta, fungi pizza and apple crumble took my fancy during our visit, all of which was washed down with few icy cold tiger beers!

10/10
The Good Oil:
Mediterraneo is one of those places' that's worth its weight in gold after spending a few weeks on the road traveling. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.
The two story restaurant has indoor seating while if you quick you can grab one of the 3 tables set up on the 2nd floor balcony overlooking Nha Tho Street and St. Joseph Cathedral. All in all this is a great place!
