Mazaro Italian Restaurant

Food was good! We had the beef wellington and the chicken parm. Our complaint was the service was not great. The waiter didn't check to see if we needed anything. My water sat empty for 30 minutes and I had to ask someone else for a refill. My wife was never asked if she wanted another drink.

The restaurant is as beautiful as it looks in the pictures. It wasn't busy so our server was quite attentive, which we did appreciate. The lobster ravioli was a generous portion and had delicious sauce. Definitely the favorite of the night. The other food items were really disappointing. The avocado bruschetta didn't match the description at all. It was more of standard avocado toast, which isn't what i'm looking for when ordering bruschetta. The risotto a la crema al scampi was inedible. The risotto was mushy and the cheese tasted like Kraft, something you'd find in store brought easy mac. Since the dish wasn't satisfactory we ordered bread as a side. The bread was a pita style bread with zero flavor. Not sure if I would dine here again, but if I did I would definitely order differently.

I am so glad we were able to discover Mazaro in the Clarendon neighborhood. For some reason, we were never able to run into this amazing Italian restaurant in the area. All staff from the host to the servers were so kind and accommodating.For appetizers, we ordered the meatballs in tomato sauce and tuna tartare.The tuna tartare was outstanding, so fresh and delicious! The meatballs were also a good option.We loved the simplicity of their Margherita pizza,very very good (we even took some home).My personal favorite dish was the carbonara pasta with pork belly. It was creamy and savory. A perfect way to end our meal. I ended up using the sauce as a dipping sauce for the bread, so good! I will definitely be returning to Mazaro!

Food here is always delicious. I've been here several times and enjoy it. This last trip service was a little odd. With plenty of tables my wife and I had to assert ourselves to get a better table. I had the veal piccata while my wife had the eggplant parmigiana. As to the setting, it's nice enough for that someone special. You will have to find parking. There's street parking to pay for but it's a matter of luck.

The atmosphere at Mazaro is nice though I would consider the food options to be average at best. Service could also be a lot more attentive--we were among only a few diners in the restaurant at a prime hour and were barely acknowledged. The restaurant has a happy hour with a few limited options, but nothing to write home about, much like the restaurant itself.

Came for the Valentine's day special as it was one of the few places that wasn't fully booked.Not terrible but honestly was not really impressed with the taste particularly at the price point ($200+ for 2 people)

I went to this place with super high expectations, but left feeling disappointed. Whatever you do, avoid the pasta allo scoglio--it was the worst pasta I've ever had. The flavor was sour and off-putting, and the the pasta was way undercooked. My party agreed with me after trying it, so it wasn't just my taste buds. I ended up leaving the dish 80% full because I just couldn't continue eating it. Even though we were a bigger party, the service was quite slow- waited maybe 50 minutes for my food to come out.

Such a solid restaurant.We aren't from the area but SO MANY locals came in and it was such a popular to-go place.Their starter bread was wonderful. Fluffy, soft, a sign of what was to come.Had their carbonara. They used a special pasta I hadn't had before but the sauce was great.The diavola is for our spicy lovers! It could have done with a bit less cheese but your taste buds will be on fire and you'll love it!Finished the night off with their mixed berry cake. If you love cheesecake and berries this is the perfect combo for you.Heard their lasagna and their vodka sauce is on point so we had an existential crisis figuring out what to order which is always a great sign when there are so many tasty options.It's such a cute place for a date. Highly recommend for that. We went at 5:30 on a Friday and there went many people but by the time we left it was packed so make a reservation.Special shout out to Faris, our server. Constantly checking in with us and making sure we were happy and having a good time. And honestly just a really swell guy who wanted to ensure we had a good food experience. We walked so can't comment on parking however there was a parking structure that was caddy corner.

We ordered two gnocchi pastas on Uber Eats and chose to add additional protein (chicken) to one of them. When we got home after picking up, we saw that they added shrimp instead. It was a very disappointing experience because it's such a simple request (there were only 3 possible protein options). Besides I am allergic to shellfish so half of the order is essentially wasted.

Food : taste wise amazing !!!!! 5 out of 5 but some portion sizes wheee off. Like the little dollop of mashed potato with the lamb chops Service: was amazing Ambiance is cute and authentic Very nice
