The fettuccine is always on point. Along with the meatballs, the rolls and a Sprite. Yum yum for my tum tum.

Some places try to impress you. Mozzi's doesn't have to it already did, decades ago. This spot has been holding it down in Eugene since the 1970s, and walking in feels like stepping into a time capsule that actually works. Not outdated it's dialed. No gimmicks, no nonsense just consistency that hits every single time. Now let me get this straight the calzones here? Hands down, some of the best I've ever had. Packed right, cooked right, everything balanced the way it should be. This isn't some rushed, thrown-together side item this is the kind of dish that makes you stop mid-bite and go, "Yeah... this is why this place is still around." I'll be honest, I read a few reviews beforehand and thought, "Did something change?" Nope. Walked in and it was exactly what I hoped for. Same classic feel, same solid food, same dependable experience. That's the beauty of Mozzi's it doesn't chase trends, it outlasts them. Value? Strong. Ambiance? Classic, comfortable, no-frills in the best way. Service? Locked in. Friendly, efficient, and they know what they're doing. This is the kind of place families grow up on. Team dinners, birthdays, random weeknights that turn into memories it's all baked into the walls. You don't stay in business this long without doing something very right. So let me make this real simple: If you're looking for an Italian restaurant in Eugene this is the place. Don't overthink it. Just go. read more

This restaurant has been around for a while, but it was my first time visiting. The parking lot is pretty small, so we had to park in a nearby lot and walk over. We went on a Saturday night, so we expected it to be busy. The interior design is really cute and it's much more spacious than I originally thought. The food was decent overall. Unfortunately, the service was a bit disappointing. It took quite a while for our food to come out, and the overall experience felt slower than expected. They may have been short-staffed, but it did impact our visit. read more

Our group of 14 went out to MAZZI'S to celebrate a birthday. We had reservations and were seated on time. Our server was very nice and prompt. Drinks were served quickly and orders taken. Our dinners were served within 20". The food was hot and delicious. I was very pleased with the service and the food. We will need to return for more! read more

It is a shame Mazzi's does not have enough kitchen staff to do takeout on holidays (Valentines Day). For those of us unable to go to a restaurant, we get left out. I've always rated Mazzi's highly and have recommended it to others. I am truly disappointed. read more

Calamari is the best in Eugene. Portions are generous, so be prepared to either bring a healthy appetite, or bring some home for an extra round of pleasure. Staff is attentive, helpful and engaging. Atmosphere is relaxed, accented by eclectic, unobtrusive music. read more

We had a reservation at 7:00pm and arrive on time, but we did not get seated until 7:25. We then waited for our food for an hour and a half after ordering. We got the drinks we ordered while waiting comped for the trouble but it was still very disappointing. After about an hour our server came to say "5 more minutes" for your food, which then was 25 minutes until we saw him or any food. Mind you at this point most of the restaurant is empty since it was almost 9:00pm. We came for a graduation dinner based off of reviews and safe to say that was not a good decision since the food wasn't even worth it. Basic pasta and the calzone was horrible. Cute place but will not be returning. read more

Mazzi's - Fettuccini - Italian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

My experience here was unfortunately subpar. We arrived right when they opened and heard we were the only walk-in being taken before 8:00 pm. We enjoyed the charcuterie. However, our entrees took a considerably long time to come out, I would estimate 45 minutes to an hour. Eventually, our waiter stopped by and said the chef was plating up our food, and then we waited another 10 minutes--not sure why he wasn't honest with us. The food was just okay. The risotto was underdone. The bolognese was good, but that's hard to mess up. read more

Just got my food to go. I ordered the chicken parmesan and the seafood fettuccine. Chicken was very moist and tender, good seasoning on everything. Good amount of seafood in the seafood fettuccine also. The updated menu is on their website also. Check check there for all the up-to-date food that they are currently serving. read more

Had not been to Mazzi's for about 2-3 years as it has slipped. Well, Mazzi's is definitely back and as good as it used to be! Hostess greeted us and was friendly and got us right to our table. Our server, Brett, was first class and knew his job and showed. All the food was beyond amazing and the rolls.....WOW! Prices were fair for the quality of food, service and ambience. Establishment was spotless as was the restroom. Will I be back and recommending? You better believe it! read more

As always this place delivers good food, drinks and service. We enjoyed a beet salad each then split a calzone and had more than enough to satisfy our appatites. We had desert and coffee to finish it all and left w read more

Some of the reviews made us reluctant to visit Mazzi's but we are delighted we mustered up the courage. It's great! We went on a Saturday night and the place was jammed - definitely one of the most popular places in Eugene. The atmosphere is fabulous and we sat right next to the fire after a short wait at the bar where top shelf cocktails are just $12. Despite dozens of tables, the noise level was quite low. The rolls are a highlight. They are fresh, warm, chewy and just a little bit heavy. They come with a huge cup of salted butter at the perfect temp for spreading. Wow. I could make a meal of these. Spaghetti with meatballs is my measuring stick for any Italian-American restaurant. I'm looking for properly cooked noodles, tasty marinara, and a large, firm, well seasoned meatball or two. Mazzi's only gives one meatball and the spaghetti is a bit on the thin side to my taste, but overall way above average. Excellent. The other dish we had was farfalle with mushrooms, chicken and feta. Wow - great dish and the fresh feta really makes it. Wines were also well-priced by the glass and we enjoyed a couple. The menu is extensive with starters, calzone, pizza, and desserts. We will be back. It's easy to see why this place is so popular. Service was fine considering how busy they were. I would rate this in the top 20% of Eugene restaurants for sure. read more

pretty good italian food here. there are not a lot of options for Italian food in Eugene & way less in Springfield, so something is better than nothing. I typically get the marco calzone & it's pretty good. not the best I've had, but not the worst. read more

Food was excellent. The calamari was so light and delicious. Fresh bread, pizza, and Alfredo were dynamite. Will have to try other things on the menu. Our server was also attentive and a delight. Will come back again read more

We were seated pretty quick but from there on the service was really slow. I'm not sure if they were understaffed or if that is normal for this restaurant so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now but our table was the only table with people younger than 65 so I'm guessing maybe they are just slower there or they were catering to the older crowd while we waited?? The food we all ordered was good and I really liked the look of the place . read more

Mazzi's use to be a wonderful good quality service,makes you feel like this is the best homemade Italian around besides Bepepi and Gianni's . But not we called in to order and no one ever picked up so I ordered online. My kids dad went to pick up for me and he said it was the worst service ever for picking up people eating in was not happy the atmosphere was not was it meant to be plus the menu wasn't up to dated we didn't get notified until he was picking it up and he had to wait an extra 30-40 for the rest of order read more

We went on my b-day. The wait wasn't long, food was good. But, I didn't get the whole order with my food. The other half came later, which I took home. We are trying them again, we'll see how it goes. So, we went back, I ordered the same dish. The sauce was definitely different, not as good. So im gonna stick with the three star. read more

Excellent food, great improvement from the past. We will definitely go again. Prices are a little high, but it was worth it.

On Friday night, I went to Mazzi's with my granddaughter to have a meal before the show at the Hult Center. We both ordered the fettuccine Alfredo and it was very good. We also ordered the garlic bread and that, too, was excellent. At the end, we ordered the chocolate mousse custard and it was amazing. The service was great and I got a chance to relive Mazzi's a little bit. I used to go to Mazzi's in Corvallis when they had a store there and I wish they would come back. read more

One of the grossest places l've ever been to and I feel horrible for saying that And the service was absolutely slow, extremellyyyyyyy slow. I usually take pictures when I go to restaurants but I had no inclination to here. For the prices I was expecting more than what seemed to be reheated food and 99 cent overcooked noodles. They would be a good candidate for Gordon Ramsay's show kitchen nightmares, though!! read more

My husband got a reservation for a date night on a Friday at six. We arrived on time and we were seated promptly. The server was very nice and knowledgeable about things on the menu. I was disappointed tho because the menu says most of the pasta is house made only to find out that it isn't anymore and it's dry pasta. I went with the lasagna because of this so that I could at least have fresh pasta. It was good and a very decent sized portion. My husbands seafood fettuccine was amazing definitely worth the price tag! The rolls were served warm but with cold butter so it wasn't super spreadable, they also weren't like the most amazing rolls ever but worked well to mop up the extra sauce from our pastas. This restaurant would be considered more on the fancy side here but of course we live in Eugene so guests were dressed in everything from business attire to pajama pants but the thing that surprised me was actually some of the kitchen staff (maybe dishwashers?) who were dressed in like basketball shorts and sport t shirts and they were coming into the dining room to put things away and stuff. I'm pretty casual but it was surprising that the owner or manager is ok with a dress code like that when guests are in view. One other thing that was a little off-putting was the server poured across us to fill our water multiple times. Small quirks aside we were very pleased with our meal and would definitely return for another date night. read more

Mazzi's - Large Caesar salad and original calzone. - Italian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

We took some out of town guests to Mazzi's for dinner. We made reservations ahead of time for our group of four. Even though the restaurant was very busy we received excellent service. Our waiter was Mateo and he was helpful and attentive but not intrusive. He really went above and beyond. Our appetizers, salads and meals came out quickly. I had the eggplant parmigiana which was delicious. It was flavorful and came with vegetables and pasta. The portions were large enough that a couple of us took home enough for another dinner! I had the panna cotta for dessert which was light and sweet. We will definitely be returning and we will request Mateo for our waiter! read more

Love this place, great service, drinks and food. The staff will always make you feel like family in their cozy dining room complete with fire. Yum! read more

Very poor service. Waited 75 min for food. Waiter had ignored us for 20 min after we came in. Waiter arrogant, unapologetic. Then waited another 15 min for a box. Don't waste your time read more

We had the good fortune to have a couple we know invite us to join them for dinner last night at Mazzi's. There wasn't an open space in their parking lot so we were happy we had reservations (last minute). Started off with a nice bottle of Soter Pinot Noir wine which is a very delicious Oregon wine. Our waiter, Liam, was very professional, checking on us every so often as to ensure we didn't feel neglected. Complimentary fresh in-house dinner rolls w/ butter (nice crunchy outside and lovely soft flavorful inside) were brought to us to enjoy with the wine. The small side Caesar salad was really delicious! Nice crispy fresh Romaine lettuce and perfect amount of creamy dressing w/ a few in-house herb croutons. Our friend enjoyed a cup of Minestrone. The only challenge was waiting for our meals, but with the amount of business and every table in sight filled, we were patient. Our patience was rewarded by a nice (free) glass of more Soter wine by another employee, Brett, who was checking on the tables and engaging w/ the patrons. Our meals were spectacular! The plates were plentiful and truly lovely (large piece of salmon with local fingerling potatoes, roasted whole carrots, chicken Marsala w/ pasta and roasted carrots and my dish was Ravioli w/ scallops). I was happy to have half of my dish to carry home. So delicious! I was tipped off that the owner, Frank Ernandes, was standing behind us talking w/ some patrons who were getting ready to leave. It is a great sign to see the owner on-site and engaged with their own business. We are grateful to have truly independently owned restaurants that take pride in their food and community. We're looking forward to returning again and again. read more

I've gone here sporadically since 1973. I've had varios experiences but always gone back for consistently good service and food. Maybe not 'high class' diniing,, but great casual and family fare. read more

Have gone to Mazzi's forever. Bar area was a bit messy and we waited quite a while for our food, however the food was worth the wait! The wine was so good and learned a lot about the vineyard from the bartender. Keep in mind that you can bring your bar drink in the lobby while you wait. They have a great outdoor area but is closed (for winter?) they should open and heat it, would have been nice. We will go again. A Eugene tradition. read more

We decided to give Mazzi's a chance after reading some mediocre reviews perhaps this is why people have not been showing up, but the food was great. The service was great. We did not have reservations and were able to sit outside in a beautiful patio and just enjoy the evening. The Caprese salad with heirloom tomatoes from their garden is not to be missed. Rolls and bakery products are from Hideaway, bakery an excellent bakery. read more

Amazing flavorful food, great space with real warm fires, and extremely friendly servers, will definitely come back! read more

Not sure why so many bad reviews but tonight is was fantastic. I went way off the reservation with my keto diet tonight. I had Chicken Piccata with a side of Fettuccine Alfredo and veggies, which were cooked perfectly - the chicken was a little chewy but good. Hubby had a huge calzone, we ate homemade bread and desserts too. I had chocolate hazelnut panna cotta and he had strawberry shortcake. All was delish. read more

I was visiting Eugene from LA and stopped by Mazzi's after getting into town later in the day on a week night. I was delightfully surprised at how tasty the food was, cozy the atmosphere was and how nicely my wine choice tasted. The first night I went with Aunt Rosies Pasta, the second night I went with the Chicken Piccata, at Franks recommendation. Both were really delicious and hearty. The second night I had a slice of the cheesecake that is topped with a nice brulee finish and a dappling of berries. The wine was the red blend, hearty with a bit of spice. Great people, friendly and prompt staff. I'll definitely send people there and also revisit when I am in town again! read more

Mazzi's has been operating since the early 1970's when founded by Frank Hernandez. As a kid it was my families Sunday night dinner and celebration favorite. The family recipes, fresh ingredients and Italian passion for experiencing vs just consuming food was the standard. The core menu were artisan pizza and red sauce based pasta dishes. ( any dish could be made with clam or alfredo)Ordering dinner started with salad or minestrone, fresh bread rolls and was capped off with spumoni ice cream. In the late 1980's unique specials allowed the more adventurous to expand their palettes. Eugene can thank Frank for having a hand in bringing the Eugene community Ambrosia and Excelsior. Mazzi's remains in name only. The multitude of management and ownership changes has taken its toll. A skeleton of core menu remains but the preparation, presentation and flavors can be found at any Italian chain for a better price point. Our party of ten was seated promptly by friendly staff. We started with Calamari and a persimmon based version of a Caprese with Prosciutto which were paired with several craft cocktails. Unfortunately we also selected the Deconstructed Bruschetta. This dish is a major failure as the amount of raw garlic was so over powering it can still be tasted the next morning. The caesar salads were well portioned but the watered down dressing had minimal flavor profile. The main dishes covered the spectrum. All were delivered as ordered. I had the Bolognese which as a disappointment. My table mates had the Lasagne which had a cold core, the crispy eggplant was tasty but the red sauce had too much tomato paste and the entree caesars with chicken were topped with cubes of bland chicken/croutons that could not be eaten without cutting. Highlight was the Spaghetti in meat sauce. Dessert offerings were traditional. Please tell me how you think that a pane-cotta and a tiramisu can be prepared and presented like a pudding cup. Cheese cake was the star. If this experience happened anywhere else would have been a two star rating. The extra star was for the nostalgia effect created by sharing yet another family meal. Lots of other Italian options in Eugene in the same price range. read more

Mazzi's is an italian restaurant that I've been enjoying since I was a child, and now I bring my own kids here! From the moment you walk in, you're welcomed by a safe, clean, and relaxing environment that sets the perfect tone for a semi-casual dining experience. One of the highlights of my meals here is the fresh warm bread rolls, paired with a dinner salad (be sure to ask for their creamy pesto dressing) or fresh minestrone soup. The portions are generous, so be prepared to take home plenty of leftovers. The atmosphere is charming, with patrons dressing up semi-casually, soft lighting and candles, contributing to the inviting vibe of the place. My only complaint? It's a shame there isn't a Mazzi's in Portland anymore--I still miss the convenience of that location (Beaverton please!) Even if you're up in Portland, the drive down to Mazzi's is worth it! read more

I have eaten at Mazzi's hundreds if not thousands of times. It's one of our favorite restaurants! The salad mixed with half house dressing/half pesto dressing is delicious, as is their homemade spaghetti meat sauce with a large meatball. And their homemade sourdough dinner rolls are spectacular! I only wish they were open for lunch like they used to be! read more

Heard lots of things about this place and finally decided to go. I will definitely go back. The food was excellent. Perfect pasta, i got the Cannelloni. The sauces were superb. I got half and half sauces with my Cannellon. They have fairly straight forward authentic Italian menu; appetizers, pastas, entrées, al forno, (baked) and pizza. read more
