We believe in preparing all of our foods, whenever possible, with locally sourced, sustainably grown or raised, and certified organic ingredients. We support GMO labeling and work diligently to keep GMO ingredients out of the food we serve. We change our menu throughout the year to stay in sync with the season and our local farmers. Our commitment to food integrity is as much about flavor as it is about health. We believe in sustainable food systems that enhance the lives of those whom it feeds, as well as the earth from where it all comes. This is our home and your are our guests, so relax, restore and mangia! Buon Appetito!
Sincerely,
The Koukoulis Family

Tommie is a proud husband to Pohai, and father of four healthy children.
Josue Molina
Sous Chef, Kitchen Manager
Josue is one of our most tenured staff... having worked his way through nearly every position at the restaurant, to now be in the highly influential and important role of Sous Chef Kitchen Manager. His hard work is exceeded only by his big heart. Josue is a capstone piece of the Mezzanotte Family. His leadership and experience are priceless to maintaining our high standard.
Paul Zonn
General Manager, Garden Foreman
Paul has been with Mezzanotte for over 21 years, having started as a server and evolved into an outstanding General Manager. His commitment to quality and hospitality knows no equal, as he remains a steady constant of the importance of authentic hospitality in everything that we do. A food lover and garden enthusiast, Paul merges those passions as he manages (and often works hands-on) the organic Mezzanotte Garden.
Christos Sikofillos
Mezzanotte Hall of Fame
Christos spent the better part of 16 years of his life refining his hospitality chops at Mezzanotte. He rose from busser to senior manager and beverage director. He recently moved on to broaden his horizons and explore other ways to share his gifts with the world. Christos will forever be considered an ambassador of Café Mezz, and has earned his place in the Mezzanotte Hall of Fame!
Craig Sandusky
Manager, Beverage Director
Craig has been described by some as a restaurant prodigy. He demonstrates a knowledge of and capacity for hospitality greatness that far exceeds his years on this planet. Craig is a full time manager and one of the architects of our Wine and Beverage Program. Despite his already full work load, Craig’s commitment to hospitality is such that he still insists on moonlighting as a server one day a week (Mondays!), and remains one of our most requested servers to date. He has accomplished much already, and we are excited for what the future has in store for him.
Victoria Green
Director of Banquets and Catering
Victoria has been a part of the Mezzanotte family for nearly 5 years and has led our Catering and Banquets program for over 3 years. Her no-nonsense approach to everything that she does has made her a fast favorite to work with amongst staff and clientele alike.

Olvan Chacon
Head Server
Olvan is the embodiment of our commitment to ‘inspired hospitality.” Olvan is our backbone of professional service and fine dining standards. He is the proof that professional and friendly are not opposites, but rather two sides of the same hospitality coin. Perhaps that’s why Olvan was awarded the title of Best Server in Anne Arundel County by The Capital Gazette’s 2025 Best Of vote!
