Some of the best Italian food we've ever had! They're known for their pesto so be sure to get one of the pesto dishes during your first time around. The Gnocchi al Pesto Genovese was incredible. And, the Ragu Bolognese was probably some of the best bolognese we've ever had. We coupled it with the focaccia with onions that was so tasty we wanted more. read more

4.5 Very very delicious Italian food. I have been wanting to try this joint for almost two years now, today I finally got around to it and it totally lived up to every ounce of excitement I had for the place. They start by bringing out bread with oil and vinegar- nothing super special but made an impression on my hungry tummy. We then ordered the Caprese Mozzarella di Bufala as an appetizer. Tomatoes were perfectly ripe and full of flavor. Cheese was also very fresh tasting. We then ordered the Lasagna Bolognese and the Pappardelle Salsa di Noci. Both exceeded my expectations. My only complaint- slightly overly salty? Made the dishes VERY rich. My husband and I shared both plates and only got through about 1/4 of each dish. We probably could have ordered one dish and still had tons of leftovers. Food aside, atmosphere was slightly casual. I was nervous about bringing our 1 year old but it turned out perfectly. Service was great and food was brought out very quickly. Excited to return! read more

Quaint, Simple and delicious. Some of the very best Italian food I've ever eaten. I highly recommend the bruschetta, you will not regret it.

This is the best and most authentic Italian food I've had in Utah! I have loved everything I have ever ordered. Wish it had a little more seating. Service is always wonderful. read more

A hole in the wall AMAZING Italian place in the middle of Utah. This place reminds me of when I was in italy. All of the pasta is fresh and homemade. These photos are an accumulation of many trips to this estabilshement. Every time I have gone, the pasta NEVER dissapointed. I have tried the cacio e peppe, carbonara, bucatini all'amatriciana, bolognese, and their homemade focaccia. The staff are so nice, and the service is fast and efficient. I have to come every time I am in the area. A MUST TRY!!! The chef lived 32 years in Italy...must I say more? read more

Oh how I love mastra. The food is incredible and I love the local vibe it has. It's a pretty small space and is always packed! I highly recommend the Lasagna al Pesto Genovese and everything else on the menu. You can jump on the waitlist ahead of time online! Wait time is usually around 30-45 minutes when they are busy but it's so worth it! I have tried and recommend just about everything on the menu. All so authentic tasting and homemade! Service is great and I'm never disappointed. read more

This is a completely different Italian restaurant from anywhere else I've been to in Utah Valley. The bread is amazing. The lasagna I had for lunch was yummy but totally different than what I (or you) am used to having. I went with a good friend who is actually from Italy and he said everything is legitimately Italian in this place. It's not Americanized Italian like we're used to with a big tall lasagna with a bunch of cottage cheese in it. We had the onion bread and two other focaccia breads. This is nothing like what you would have it Olive Garden. I won't be going back to Olive Garden. Lasagna is not the typical lasagna with a bunch of cheese in layers of thick pasta. This is much thinner and much tastier. The noodles are legit. I'll be back. I have a new go to Italian place. Farewell all other Italian restaurants in UV. I found a new home... By the way the desserts are amazing. It's a bit pricey- but we'll worth it. Go- just go. You will thank me... read more

This was such a fun place to go! I took my fiance on a spontaneous date night and the place is small but so cute! It really feels and tastes like you've walked into an Italian's home. The desserts were divine, the bread was amazing and the entrees are our now favorites! for it being a higher end and high-quality food place, the price was actually pretty decent! (I didn't feel like I was losing an arm and a leg lol) Our server was super kind and attentive to us and helped us whenever we needed anything! read more

We went out in a date with some good friends and we had a great time. The focaccia - amazing. The caprese with burrata - so fresh and delicious. Pesto lasagna / chef kiss! Pana Cotta with berries, delectable. The coffee tiramisu, perfection. Now get some Italian wine to go with it all and you're golden! We'll be back for sure. read more

I ate here when visiting Utah for the first time for work. The food was delicious and the service was prompt and attentive. The location is on the smaller side and the vibe feels cozy but not at all cramped. I had the onion focaccia, caprese salad, and the Fettuccine Al Ragú Bolognese. All of it was delicious. On par with many of my favorite Italian restaurants across the US but particularly Los Angeles where I live. I highly recommend dining here if you live in or find yourself visiting Lehi. *I didn't get a photo of the fettuccine because when it arrived my priorities quickly shifted. But I'm glad I was at least able to capture the starters when they arrived. read more

The service here was excellent! Karla and Hannah seem to be a two woman show at the front of the house and they managed the dinner rush with skill and poise. The service was welcoming, patient, and fast even though the place was busy! They were both wonderful! The food was all pretty good. Their basket of bread was my only complaint. They need to change that bread. It tasted and felt stale. But the focaccia made ip for that. I haven't had focaccia that many times but I'd say theirs is as good as it gets. And their pastas were really good. The pesto lasagna was a little oil heavy as cheesy pesto dishes will tend to be, but it was so delicious. The polpette meatballs were slightly bland but the texture on them in the marinara sauce was great! The Pappardelle Salsa di Noci clearly contained some quality cheese but was it was akin to a fancy macaroni and cheese with a skimpy portion of walnuts and pine nuts. Like I said, no complaints about the food and I feel that they really do use quality ingredients, there just wasnt anything that I would give 5 stars other than the quality service. I feel like this place is still in the developmental stages. The venue feels a little simple for the prices and fine dining dishes they're offering, as well as the crowds they bring in. The interior feels like an express which is maybe what they're going for, but the tone of the restaurant feels lost in the design and music choice. The food is good especially if you like authentic italian pastas but if you are looking for a protein heavy meal, you wont find it here. Perhaps thats the italian way, but I would like to see more protein offered on their menu. read more

We heard Mastra was amazing and it did not dissapoint!! We had a little confusion with reservations/reserving a table online but we called and they were very helpful. When we got our table our waiter was excellent! He was so nice and helpful in choosing what to order. Our food was so spectacular we got the pasta with walnut sauce and the pesto lasagna. We also got focaccia and the meatballs! Everything was so delicious and rich but not too heavy. We also got the Nutella tiramisu and the berry panna cotta for dessert and both were spectacular!! I will be back as much as I can! 10/10 for this place!!! read more

Everything was very good. This is now my favorite Italian place in Utah. Price is reasonable and food is delicious. The only thing is that there's always a lot of people. Would recommend reserving in advance. read more

I can't believe I've never been to this place before, and I'm kicking myself for not going sooner because this place is AMAZING! We ordered our food to-go tonight, as we didn't want to risk not being able to grab a seat, since the restaurant looked small in pictures. Upon arrival, my husband was glad we ordered out because it was packed (Saturday evening) and there weren't many tables, due to its smaller size. We got a slice of the original focaccia and a slice of the onion focaccia and both were beyond delicious! They were soft and pillowy, even after sitting in the car for 30 minutes. The original flavor was buttery with the perfect amount of salt. The onion focaccia was delightful and our favorite of the two. The bruschetta tomatoes were so tasty! I couldn't stop eating them! The bread had a strong hint of garlic and paired great with the tomatoes. I wish the bread was a bit softer, but that's my own personal preference. I ordered the Fusilloni al Pesto Genovese and holy crap were they right when they claimed they have the best pesto. It was creamy and the pesto flavor wasn't too strong but wasn't too subtle; perfectly in the middle. The quality of the food and the large amount of pasta and sauce you receive makes the higher price worth it in my opinion. I was only able to finish barely 1/4 of my pasta before feeling satisfyingly full. My husband ordered the Lasagna Bolognese and he was surprised at how good it was! He says it had a really deep and rich flavor, it was creamy with the perfect amount of cheese and he was only able to finish half of it. He was more than satisfied with his meal. We ended with the Nutella Tiramisu and were not disappointed by it in the slightest bit. The large amount of chocolate mousse added a welcoming lightness to the dessert that paired great with the Nutella flavor. I've already recommended this place to friends and family, and we cannot wait to come back!! read more

Listen to me. Skip it. This is the first time a restaurant has had me anxious to get home to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth. When you think of great Italian dining, what do you picture? Probably not an icecream scoop shop ambience, but that's what this experience is. Cold, crowded, frenetic, bright neon lights, cafe seating on concrete floors that screech every time a chair is moved. Not ideal. This experience was just weird. Are they a dinner restaurant or a deli? The location and size of the restaurant is not appropriate for dinner. Due to size, there's no check-in area, and patrons waiting for a table are blocking the entrance and exit and crowded around nearby tables. Chaotic. There's a deli type area to choose some to-go dessert pastries, which creates a line through the already crowded space of people coming in and out. Loud. Once seated, we were given a carafe of water, but it wasn't poured for us. We were handed paper napkins with flatware rolled up inside. And no small plates to eat buratta salad and focaccia. We had to ask for plates. Ok, I'm forgiving of ambience and service if the food is worth it. But it's usually an indicator of what's to come. And then the tragedy struck- THE FOOD. I live and die for cacio e pepe. The very first bite. I knew something was wrong. Was it made with dirty dish water instead of pasta water? Was the cheese expired? Instead of a thick, creamy sauce, it was curdled and sour. We had also ordered the carbonara. The bacon was overwhelming with few other flavors. The texture of both pasta dishes was soggy. And the meatballs were bizarre. Deep fried, dry, and smashed, with very little flavor. Were they using up old meat? One taste of each dish, and I couldn't stand another. We decided to cleanse our palates with tiramisu. What could go wrong with tiramisu? Strangely, they offer it without coffee!? We ordered the tiramisu WITH coffee but couldn't taste it. It was also bland. Finally, we lost track how many times multiple staff came to the table feigning to be helpful, asking us to take items off the table or asking us if we were ready for the check. They wanted us to leave quickly to free up a table for the people crowded at the entrance, but we were trying to catch up. Despite the terrible food that we barely touched and the cold atmosphere, we were enjoying our conversation. But in an hour and a half, the staff had successfully pestered the tables next to us to turn over several times. I like to tip generously, because I'm grateful for folks working in the food industry. I only tipped 10% and that was generous for the poor food quality and the way the staff pestered us to leave. Truly a bizarre and unpleasant experience. Never to return. read more

The tomato focaccia was delicious, as were both the pastas we got! I knew the place was small and that it could get busy at dinner time, so we went at 4 and beat the crowd. As we were finishing there was already a waitlist. It's a little pricey but it is all made from scratch so I understand. It's not a go every week place but a good splurge every once in a while. read more

The service was first rate and the focaccia was excellent but neither my wife or I cared for our entree. We ate outside which had kind of an industrial parking lot vibe. She ordered Carbonara. She said it was overly salty and bland. I got Lasagna Bolognese. I love lasagna but this was tasteless and bland and kinda dry. Neither of us got more than 1/3 through the dish. We just paid and left. Friends had raved about Måstra but our experience was not so good. Glad we tried it but we won't be going back. Or if I do I will just order focaccia and a drink. read more

Such a cute and tasty Italian restaurant! The best part is that they have gluten free pasta and lasagna options.

Definitely recommend coming here for some delicious food :) read more

Great pasta! Classical Italian food. It's unfortunate there was no wine to pair with it but sounds like they are working on a liquor license at a new location. The waiter kept apologizing for the cheese being so sheep flavored but cacio e Pepe is made with pecorino romano which is a type of sheep's cheese. They have great, Italian style pasta and meatballs! Don't apologize for great food! The chef is hand making his pasta! If people don't like it they don't deserve your food! Would love to go back when they have wine to pair with their pasta! read more

Night before Valentine's day. Place was crazy busy, but made an early online wait list request, and we were seated promptly after a brief Costco visit for timing. Food was great, service was good. Something different vs chain restaurants, and the food was much better, although a little pricey . Ambiance was lacking - tables in a busy cafe atmosphere vs. romantic dinner, but the food made up for it. read more

I finally made it here and let me tell you, 5 stars! The food is DELICIOUS! Everything we got was delicious! The complementary bread with olive oil and vinegar was a great way to start. We also got the plain focaccia bread and loved it. It was fresh and soft but crispy. I got the lasagna and it's probably the best I've ever had. Again it was so fresh and the flavors were divine. My husband got the pesto lasagna and he loved it as well. Be prepared to wait! We went on a Saturday at 4:06 and we got the second to last table. The people ahead of us were a table of 4 and were told a 30 minute wait. The service is pretty fast though! read more

I am amazed by the dinner I had at Màstra tonight! The quality of food was amazing, and portions were hearty. Definitely get here earlier if you want to dine on Saturday, our wait time was 40 minutes when we came in at 4:20. The restaurant was bright and clean, with a beautiful bread display. The onion focaccia was amazing, obviously popular for a reason. My group shared our meals, and all were fantastic but I will say that the pesto lasagna was my favorite-unreal flavor and enough for at least two meals. The barata salad was great, the dessert were so smooth and silky. If I'm in the area again, I will be coming back! read more

Hey Mastra, had lunch here today and you guys were very nice and overall the flavors were great, but I need you to switch your panini bread back to the old version! Picture attached is the Panini from April 2024, if you look at other Panini photos in Yelp you will see it being made on the actual panini bread. The result of it being made on this bread really changes the sandwich a lot. read more

I ate here yesterday on a first date with a woman who loved Italian. We both loved it very very much. She got a pasta dish that had bacon in it. I don't remember the name and then I got a pasta dish that was similar to spaghetti, but was not And it was a red sauce and it was absolutely amazing. We both loved our dishes. We tried each other's small quaint environment. The hospitality and service was amazing. They were a little busy. We waited a little bit longer for our drink but other than that, it was amazing nothing unreasonable about it would highly recommend and if I ever want Italian, I will come back here. I used to hate it at this place changed my mind and I now enjoy it greatly We will definitely be back. read more

We love it here. The foccacia is incredible, as are every single pasta dish. This has quickly become one of our favorite date night spots.

This is one of our favorite places to eat! Fantastic authentic Italian food with homemade pasta and fresh, top notch ingredients. The menu is limited, but everything on it is delicious. The ONLY thing I would change, and would push this to 5 stars, would be the harsh, bright lighting. Dimmer lighting to improve the ambiance would be a game changer! read more

Food: The focaccia breads were great; the main courses were hit or miss. The spaghetti carbonara was different from all others I've had including those during visits to Italy; it had a cheesy consistency. The pesto lasagna was over the top with pesto sauce. The Quattro formaggi gnocchi was ok. The fettuccini bolognese was good. The presentation was good. Service: the service was great. When it came time to pay, they applied a 2.55% service charge with no explanation. I think this is a credit card fee which they did not disclose up front. The server only presented the bill on an electronic billing device; no paper copy was given. Ambiance: it is well decorated with Italian themes however it has the look of a walk-in sandwich or ice cream shop with a few tables for eating in. I might go back to try their desserts but I would not return for dinner. read more

Not worth the effort. Tried calling several times 2 days in advance and the day before to make a reservation for 8 people since you cant make a reservation online. Ended up going to the restaurant to make a reservation and they told me that it had been booked out for the entire evening. Super frustrating and just not worth the effort. If youre going to make people call to make a reservation you should probably be able to answer the phone. read more

House made pasta was divine! My wife and I split the bolognese, a house salad, meatballs, focaccia and the panna cotta. We left satisfied, but not over stuffed. Service was quick and knowledgeable to help us make decisions on what to eat. Tge room is small, and a bit brighter than expected for an Italian eatery. (Candles on the table might be an option??) Will definitely be back! read more

You guys. I just love Mastra. Discovered it through a Yelp Event a while ago and have been coming regular ever since. I'm hooked! There really isn't anywhere else in the area that does authentic, delicious Italian food like Mastra does. You can tell ingredient are fresh! Portions are hearty. Menu has plenty of options. Sides and desserts are also delicious. Vibes are on point. I ran my first marathon this year and spent a lot of time here carb loading. I would sign up to run another purely so I'd have an excuse to come here every weekend again. read more

I had high hopes for this place was but sadly disappointed. We came on a Friday night with friends and had a reservation. A reservation is definitely recommended as it's a small place and there's a line out the door. We were seated right away and ordered the meatballs and bruschetta to start with. The meatballs were hot and had a good flavor, didn't taste processed at all. The red sauce was really tasty that came with them too. The bruschetta was good too as the tomatoes were really fresh. I do think it would've been better with a glaze on top. Out of the four pasta dishes we ordered, they all came at various times but three came quickly together and were warm but got cold really quick. The fourth one came out around 7 minutes later, which we had to ask for it, very hot. We wondered if they forgot about it. The pasta was good and the quality was good but I can definitely say that the pasta in Italy is better. I think I had too high of hopes. Would I come back for the pasta? If a friend wanted to go here, sure. The pesto pasta was the best one in my opinion. The panna cotta dessert was not good. Don't get it. It says it's served with berries and it's more of a jam. There's no berries. The tiramisu was very soggy compared to other places, making it like a tres leches cake. I also feel the flavor was very faint. They have you scan the QR code to see the menu but also have menu on a chalkboard. The online menu said there was a Nutella tiramisu, which we ordered, and they brought out Nutella focaccia. We told them we didn't order this but the Nutella tiramisu and they said they don't have that anymore despite it being on the menu. They didn't charge us for the focaccia but update the menu then. The service was weird. There were three different waitress who served us all night but didn't seem to communicate with one another. We had to ask for plates for the appetizers to one girl who never brought them. Then we had to ask someone else. Things like this happened all night. The service just wasn't very good at all in my opinion. read more

We got seated right away as we made reservations prior to our visit (which you need to do especially on weekends!). I love that it's a local mom-and-pop place and that the owners are from Italy. Their pasta dishes are pretty authentic and I really enjoyed them. Appetizers are really great too. There were probably three of them tonight but seemed really frazzled about how busy it was. All three waitresses seemed to cover for each other and just overlap. So instead of us just having one waitress, we saw/talked to all three, so we've had to ask for things multiple times and/or explain what we didn't get to 3 different waitresses. Would've rather had one waitress assigned to our table. We never received plates for appetizers and had to ask more than once for them. The menu is available online (via scan on side of tables) and it wasn't updated - sure the menu was also written on the chalkboard too, but it would've been nice if the online menu was updated too. The first three plates came out warm and the fourth plate came out piping hot. Dessert (pannacotta) I do NOT recommend. It says available with "berries" or "chocolate. I thought it was served with fresh berries, but it's only berry jam on top. Their tiramisu - the ladyfingers were super soaked this time so it tasted super soggy, more than normal, tasted more like tres leches consistency. We really liked this place the first time around, but tonight the whole experience seemed off. read more
