Food was amazing and Angelica, our server, was so bubbly and friendly. I'll definitely remember her…read morewhen I think back to this trip. My only gripe was that service was so extremely slow. While I understand this is the european way, we ordered so much food and it took almost 20 min between dishes and probably over an hour for the first dish to hit the table. I feel like we were here for 3-4hrs and unfortunately having already started to feel a bit under the weather, I stayed out for too long and got very sick for the next few days. Regardless, the food was so delicious I wish I could go back. Thankful the group members were foodies and knew what to order deep fried beef tripe beef flank steak (special) - so tender wagon wheels with campidanese sauce - fan favorite, delicious pumpkin tatin, parmigiana fondue (special) - so yummy, could be wrong, but used a pumpkin that tasted identical to the japanese kabocha pumpkin - extremely sweet and dry/starchy bottle of wine bianchetto - paired so well with the food profiles sheep ricotta cheese, marinated eggplants (3) - so flavorful rigatone al amatriciana - pasta in italy... can't go wrong arancini (3) - a first for me and did not disappoint ordered 3 desserts with the group: chocolate mousse, pear cinnamon cake with ricotta cheese, gelato affogato - all so delicious, perfect sweetness, just the right portions

I found this restaurant through ChatGPT, where it was recommended as a "foodie experience." I would…read moredescribe our experience very differently: it was a foodie disappointment. The reservation process should have been a warning sign. They require a €30-per-person payment upfront. The first thing that stood out was the furniture. The tables and chairs are more suitable for a cheap outdoor patio than an indoor restaurant. They are uncomfortable, unattractive, and completely out of place for what is supposed to be a quality dining experience. The service was the biggest problem. It was extremely slow -- it took about an hour before we received anything beyond bread. Unfortunately, the food didn't make up for the wait. It was mediocre and not particularly interesting. Some dishes were not served properly. For example, the Padron peppers arrived cold, which made us wonder whether they had been sitting on the side for some time. There were also no fish dishes available anywhere on the menu. We stayed in the San Lorenzo area for three days and had excellent restaurant experiences on the previous two nights. Unfortunately, our dinner at Mazzo on the last night put a damper on what had otherwise been a great stay. We won't be coming back, and based on our experience, I would recommend looking elsewhere.
