I went for dinner with my friend and can’t say enough good things about this place and food or their best manager Abdallah he was sweet enough to give us some more grace time.

First time coming here. Loved it, great service and ambience.My husband and I ordered gluten free pasta, his was Carbonara with fetuccini gluten free pasta and I ordered penne pasta with bolognese sauce.The flavors were amazin especially my husband's pasta. Mine, unfortunately the pasta was undercooked, not even al dente, I don't like to complain so I kept on eating it. At the end i asked for a doggy bag (hoping i could cook it more or something for another day lol) but I couldn't help it and mentioned the waitress about my pasta, as a suggestion to the chef that GF pasta cooking time usually is a bit different that regular pasta.The manager approach us and insisted on making me a fresh new dish to take home, making sure this time was cooked properly. I felt bad about it but accepted and this second round was perfect! Thank you so much for making a new dish that i will definitely enjoy this week.I will come back again to this restaurant again since the rest of the menu looked delicious especially the GF dessert!Thank you Abby (the manager on duty on saturday April 7th) he was very kind and the rest of the staff as well.

Service was excellent. Food and drinks had much to be desired. Ordered multiple different desserts only to be told each wasn’t available. The waitress/manager did their best to make it right. Regardless will not be coming back.

The food was good, but overpriced. However... any positive experience was ruined by the miserably rude server (young woman, mid 20s, brown hair) and the super loud, bass-heavy club music. Nobody wants to hear the same LOUD song over and over while eating a $30 pasta dinner and dealing with a stuck-up server. Get rid of the mean girl, turn down the music, maybe cut the prices a little- until then, we unfortunately won't be back.

The atmosphere is really cute especially for date night. However, the food was average. The waiter offered us bread which I assumed was complimentary but it’s not.I got the beet salad to start and cacio e pepe for my entree. The beet salad was not very creative (mostly beets with a few pieces of arugula). It could have been seasoned better. The cacio e pepe was fine but probably wouldn’t come back just for that dish. We ordered the chocolate mousse cake for dessert and it looked like a children’s cake with rainbow sprinkles on top. Very strange. It also tasted freezer burned. We sent it back and the manager was nice enough to take it off of our bill and gave us a complimentary tiramisu. The tiramisu was actually delicious.

Ordered for delivery and a decent portion of our order was missing, including a $30 entree. Pretty wild. After waiting 40 minutes alone for it to cook. The pizza is OK but for $23 for 1 I’d really prefer to go to Domino’s. Can’t speak to the rest as we never got

First- the good: this is a lovely restaurant, and the service was great, with a small but decent wine list. The tiramisu was superb, the bread (pizza dough I think) surprisingly good. The rest left a little to be desired though. I had veal piccata- the veal was not pounded thin, and overly floured, making the sauce gummy. I had to ask for salt, and it was lacking lemon and/or wine. Not terrible, but not worth the price. A side of asparagus was just grilled asparagus. No salt, olive oil, nothing. Just weird. My wife had the pasta basico- spinach linguine with chicken and pesto. Pretty good. We just cut up the asparagus and added it to that. Overall: meh. With so many choices in the area, not sure it's worth the cost.

We went to Mazaro with my 23 year-old daughter and her friend to celebrate a birthday. It was very busy, but welcoming and friendly. We had a reservation and got a nice table in the front near the bar. Great service, good Italian food, nice bar options. Would recommend it!

It’s a nice place, soft music and great food. Draft beer was not good so I switched for a red wine by the glass. Excellent wine menu and all staff very friendly and attentive. Higly recommended. We order Penne with Vodka Sauce and a fettuccine Norcina pasta.

Omg my food was good! That’s coming from one of the pickiest people ever. I ordered on on Uber Eats and the guy on the phone was so nice when I called to ask questions about the pasta I was considering. I got the fettuccine Al Basilico with Shrimp. Yummmmm!!

We really enjoyed this gem. Great food and amazing service. Little loud. The bread is amazing.penne alla vodka amazing. Burratta yum, meatballs great. Casio Pepe sooooo yum but too salty which is why we have it 4 stars. Great bartender too with fun drinks. Well go back

All three items that I ordered were exceptional! Soft calamari in a delicious light sauce. Avocado bruschetta with a perfect balsamic drizzle. Rich savory lasagna napolitana. Deliziosa!

Very excited to try Mazaro to celebrate a couple of birthdays with friends. It was pleasant, but not amazing. The service staff was attentive to the point of intrusive when taking our order, but then kind of disappeared? The very loud environment made it difficult to hear our server. No one disliked our entrees but they weren't like 8/10. We did take home the leftovers tho! Pros: diverse menu with several veg options; cute vibe, energetic environment. Cons: wait staff was a little disorganized and inattentive; very loud environment meant we had to talk loudly among our party of 4; food was ok, but I wouldn't go back for any of the entrees we chose. Again, dinner was an ok experience, but not amazing. PS. Even though we noted it was a birthday with our reservation, they made no offer to help us celebrate. No biggie, but very unusual for a restaurant like this.
