Reviews for Mazara Trattoria in San Diego, CA
Sam and Samual are the best!! These brothers are the backbone to this family run business. Warm and kind restaurant vibes that... also has a store front for a variety of wine. Thanks Samx2 Read more
Everything we ordered was just kind of.. average. I’ll give them the benefit of the doubt because we ordered take out so... sitting in the car on the way home probably contributed but the wings were soggy & the carrot cake was hard & almost stale. Thepizza was decent, just a little soggy as well but the crust had a nice flavor. Read more
Saturday night… Divina server was knowledgeable and gracious. Ni wonder since she is the Niece of owner and this great Family... owned restaurant was started by her grandfather 37 years ago While not as popular as nearby new places, give me family traditionand longevity anytime. She suggested the Rigatoni with Italian sausage green pepper onion and mixed red sauce…mildly spicy andcooked perfectly. Huge portions are what family style is all about. House red wine for less than $7…very tasty Don’t fallfor false marketing of popular places. Most young people have little clue about quality ethnic foods. So following the crowdsand high prices mean nothing in this space. Monday night… This place helps restore my faith in authenticity and true value andfamily traditions. I had the place mostly to myself again and just can’t understand why. I have eaten in two otherneighborhood Italian eateries and pizzarias. For taste, serving size, and friendly family service…Mazaras wins hands down. Icame back fir the pizza before reviewing. I had a slice of “The Works” (minus olives) and oh my. Look at the photo for size!The size of most whole small pizzas back home. Since I didn’t think it would be enough, I ordered a side of meatballs. Againlook at that portion of double bite sized meatballs with tons of the best marinara sauce I have had in maybe years! They alsohave a huge wine list at great prices with bottle service you can take out. I don’t see that anywhere else here. Prices arelow for these times and this bill (attached) would be twice that at the popular joints down the street! I hope visitors orresidents in this area will continue to support this place of taste and value for years to come. I’d rather be here than mostany of the pretentious places in Little Italy of San Diego. Read more
I ate at this place tonight (4/16/22) and it was great. The service was excellent and the food as well. Window seating is really... cool ????. Upon leaving the staff said "....thank you for coming and have a good night...." I will be returning to thisestablishment. *update Took my family here yesterday (September 3rd) and again the service was great and my kids loved the chillenvironment. We got the mushrooms, 20 inch spaghetti pizza, mozzarella sticks, eggplant and spaghetti and a small pepperonipizza for my youngest. Read more
My wife and I came for the spaghetti pizza and it did not disappoint! The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Great dining... spot to people watch as they walk down the street (We're not creepy I swear). Again, the spaghetti pizza was bomb, I cannotstress this enough. This is one of our new favorite local spots. Also, my wife loved the music playlist. Overall, 10/10 wouldrecommend to to an emperor.. just not Putin. Read more
It was my first time visiting this venue and im happy I did. The customer service was phenomenal, the staff was very friendly. I... order a slice of pizza to go and it was fresh, tasty, and massive. One slice could easily fill you up. They had a huge selectionof wine, beer, and plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Big parking lot if your not walking distance too! I’d highlyrecommend checking this place out if you want a great neighborhood spot. Read more
Absolutely wonderful dining experience! Pizza, wine and dessert were all super yummy. The staff even let us sit on the porch... with the dogs off the leash and locked us in so they couldn't get out. They brought out snacks and water for the dogs. One ofthe best dining experiences I have had in a long time. Great customer service, they truly treated us like family. Highlyrecommend and when I am back in SD I will for sure come back. ???? Read more
I had a flashback to Italy! What a great atmosphere and staff! I had the Italian sub and it was very tasty! The only reason I... have 4 stars for the food is because the meat was great, the bread was soft and the flavors were there, but it either needs moremeat to fill the bread, or it needs a smaller roll to balance the meat/bread ratio. But it was tasty! I met my coworker thereand she had a personal pizza. It looked and smelled just like the pizza I had in Pompeii, and she said it was very good! I willbe going back for pizza in the near future! Read more
