I have been going to Mazzis for 40 years. I love the place! I would even go to the one in Portland on a regular basis. I visit Eugene every summer and I always go to Mazzis because it reminds me of my childhood and I just loved the food in the past. Here's what happened: The server brought us our meal without bringing the salad/soup first. When I asked her why she brought our entrees first she blew me off. Had she apologized on the spot I might feel differently at this point, but she didn't and that was unprofessional. When we did receive our minestrone soup it was very much like a broth or rather bottom of the barrel soup not much veggies in the soup. The salad had dirt in it and wasn't cleaned well and the lettuce was wilted! Yuck! The spaghetti, meatballs and ravioli was great. I think they change the recipe for the rolls they are not like they used to be. Overall was pretty disappointed but they made due as I did complain and they comp'd our dinner for us. Thank you for that Mazzis. I will try and come back again but I may have to let my favorite restaurant go after that experience. read more

The service was great. However, the food tasted like it was straight out of a can or the freezer. I was very unimpressed by the cheese ravioli which was supposed to be the staple of their menu. I will not be going back to Mazzi's. read more

No. Food is not good, service is comically slow, highly unprofessional wait staff. Not sure how this place is still in business. Go to Beppe and Gianni's or Cafe Noli for Italian food in Eugene. read more

I think I might choose olive garden over mazzi tonight. Very slow kitchen, then my chicken marsala was tepid. Waitress missed the lesson on the customer is always right and made me feel like I was an idiot for thinking my meal was tepid. Who tasted it after all? Not that good a meal. read more

I seriously love this place! To my knowledge it is the best Italian place in the area. The homemade bread is so good it is really hard not to fill up before meal time. The home made pasta is ridiculous and I have yet to try anything I didn't like. The atmosphere is classy and the prices are fair. It can get really busy so call ahead if you don't want to wait. read more

All I can say is WOW! So glad to find such a gem in Eugene. First off the fresh rolls were delicious. The calamari was seasoned and fried perfectly and was wonderful. My boyfriends salad looked and tasted great. We had a few italian sodas and they were yummy as well. I had the chicken picatta which came with roasted veggies and fettuccine alfredo. It was just the best, I couldnt stop eating it. The side of pasta which I didnt even care about too much turned out to be one of my favorite parts as well. Some of the best fettucinne alfredo I have ever had. Boyfriend had the cannelloni and loved it. Service became a little slow as they got more busy and we didnt mind waiting that much. But then without us even asking our server comped our drinks and gave us a free cheesecake to go because of the wait! Can you say amazing customer service? I was very impressed. A rare restaurant experience that went just above and beyond expectations and I just cant wait to go back! read more

I have been an on again off again Mazzi's customer since I was in college in Corvallis in the late 80s, then Eugene in the early 90s and then again since 2010. Located in front of Hideaway Bakery, dinner here is always cozy and comfortable. Seating can be scarce and service can get a little slow when they are busy at the peak of dinner, but the staff, especially the long term veteran staff, always work promptly to make you feel relaxed. Have a glass of wine at the small bar while waiting for your table! The kitchen always serves quality, correctly prepared meals. They have a seasonal creative list up front and familiar favorites in the rest of the menu. My wife and I really like their house Italian dressing tossed salads. I love the house made pasta and it's among the best in Eugene. Mazzi's is comfort and quality, and the list of options is long, including pizza (but I always order entrees). The wine list is good, especially the Italian imports, and there are inexpensive carafe options. I've had some less responsive service at times with new trainee servers, but this is only occasional. When I want Italian comfort quality dinner with decent service, and pay fair prices, then Mazzi's is the place. They feed me delicious meals when I'm a little jittery. And I am eager to come back. read more

Never a bad meal yet, the pizza a outstanding and the pork belly is too notch! Staff has always been corteous and friendly!

Awesome kids menus, excellent Euro-style bread, and the best Caesar Salad on the West Coast. Highly recommend if you love authentic Italian food. read more

Quick service and great food, has a nice atmosphere. Portion sizes are quite large as well, they're happy to box up anything you didn't finish. read more

My all-time favorite restaurant. Love the warm house-made rolls, the house-made salad dressings, the calzones and pizzas. We used to order takeout from here almost weekly. The owners and staff are wonderful. This is casual Italian dining at it's very best. Can get busy, especially on weekends and after football games, so plan ahead and be prepared to wait a little. It's worth it! read more

We did denneronce again. . And once again it was great .. we had a new waiter but im sure hell catch on thankyou for a great denner

Very disappointed. Service is very poor. Waited 30 minutes until I had to flag down a waitress. Then it took her another 30 minutes to take my order. The bread was not fresh and very hard to eat. Ordered lasagna, it was average. If I am ever to go back, they will have to work on their customer service and the quality of their food. read more

Excellent food! Everything we had was awesome! The service was a little slow, but we did have a large party of about 20. I would come back every chance I get. Too bad I live in California! read more

Well, maybe it was because they had not anticipated such a crowd a couple days before Christmas. Maybe they did not notice all the reservations. Maybe being in business for about 40 years does not mean they've figured out staffing. Or maybe our waiter just wasn't that good. Probably the latter. Which explains why we had to get extra water ourselves. Some of the food was really pretty good. However, the salmon special was singed (my daughter described it as burnt but I'm being nice). What had probably started out as a beautiful hunk of salmon, full of potential, ended up on her plate as hunk of charred fish. I ordered the cioppino. I love cioppino, and have eaten it many times--but never here. It is described on the menu as "shrimp, scallops, clams and fresh fish in a hearty tomato broth served with a green salad and lots of bread. This is a meal!" The plate arrived, looking very pretty with eight clams (I think) arranged around the perimeter, partially submerged in the tomato sauce/broth. I spotted sever small bay scallops and a handful of shrimp. It was ok. The sauce was a bit on the broth side of things. The shrimp were slightly tough. The scallops were small, but hey, that's the way of seafood any more. I asked about the bread ("lots of bread") and was told that the bread referred to the bread basket on the table -- no different bread for this course. Oh. What ruined it was that there was NO FISH. What?!? Forget it. Deal over. Cioppino without fish? Take it off the menu if you don't have fish. read more

I've been to here twice now. The first time was for my friend's bachelorette party a couple years ago. The second was my birthday last weekend. I had a crab fettuccini (not in the menu anymore) on my first visit and an Italian sausage, spinach cannelloni in cream sauce on my second visit. The service is a little slow and it's a bit pricey but the portion sizes are good and the food is delicious. I love how quaint the decor is and the wine selection is fantastic. read more

The best Italian food in Eugene! I've been dining at Mazzi's since I moved to Eugene and always have a great meal. The Chicken Marsala is delicious and so is the Marco Special Calzone. One thing I especially enjoy are the warm homemade rolls served with dinner. Casual, family style restaurant that makes me feel comfortable and welcome!! read more

I have no complaints about the food; it's a step up from Olive Garden but still pretty Americanized. The atmosphere is cozy and yes, date like. What will keep me from going back during the dinner rush is the noise level. Came here with my brother and we couldn't hear each other across the table. read more

Good Italian food and they stayed on top of the service for our large group. I had the cannelloni which had very good Italian sausage but the pasta was a little over cooked. My son had the kids pizza an it was great. My husbands seafood pasta was also very good. read more

Nice atmosphere and vegetarian friendly. Average food for the most part, but the veggie lasagna is amazing!

We were part of a large group for a Bar Mitzvah lunch and were treated like royalty. Our drinks were never empty, the food came in generous portions, and our waitress was attentive. The rolls are delicious and the lasagna was deliciously cheesy. A member of the group had special dietary needs and was accommodated graciously. Overall we had a great experience here! read more

Good forward Italian food. The calzones are fantastic. I get the spaghetti with meat sauce and two meatballs. I like to eat, and it fills me up. You can try anything on the menu and be pleased with the food. It is a must visit if you are in Eugene. read more

Mazzi's gets a bad wrap, but you know what you are getting when you go here. Consistently decent food, good service, loud environment. If you want American style Italian food, go at it! Better than waiting hungry for an hour at another popular pasta shop! read more

Mazzi's our regular go to for Italian in south Eugene, calzone a little water logged, the salad had a romaine core in it. 2 spaghetti and meatballs the usual excellent faire. The hot rolls were especially good tonight. Overall we are always happy with our local joint. read more

Went to dinner on Valentines Day. Their website says reservations for 6 or more. As it turns out they were accepting reservations all day. When we asked how long it would be with no reservations they said 45 minutes, we decided to wait. After 45 minutes we asked how much longer the person said 1 hr. 20 minutes longer. We promptly left. Not very customer friendly. read more

We traveled to Eugene today to show our granddaughter U of O (our alma mater). We decided to meet a friend who works at U of O for dinner. Because our granddaughter LOVES pasta, we chose Beppe and Gianni's for our destination. Even on a Tuesday night, the restaurant was packed. The aromas were dazzling but the noise level was exceedingly loud, and our friend has hearing aids so we felt like it was a bad choice. So, we left and drove to Mazzi's. The restaurant was not near as noisy. However, there were several large groups dining so it took a very, very long time to get our food. Tivon (the host) and our food server and bus boy were running their legs off. In spite of it, they stayed warm and friendly throughout the evening. The food server even gave us a bunch of extra rolls (THE BEST!) and a free slice of cheesecake to share. The food here is adequate. My hubby said too much garlic on his food. Our granddaughter scraped off some of the pesto on her noodles. I loved my Margarita pizza. Our friend said her stromboli was delicious - and enough for two meals. read more

Exquisitely prepared dish. Possibly the best Italian restaurant in Eugene. Dinner was served in a reasonable time. Friendly, comfortable tables with fire pits. Highly recommended. read more

Let me start off to say I'm BIG on reviews because I truly believe in good customer service and feel like no matter what company small or big should treat their customers good. I planned a Christmas party here and was really excited about doing it at Mazzi's because I love the environment and love Italian food! Unfortunately, my experience was awful! I'm an event planner in the area and love to help throw parties but this was by far the worst situation. I was very communicative throughout the entire process (I called 3 times before the event date to give them updates on how many people etc) well with the holidays we had some last minute cancellations (completely out of my control) anyways the waiter we had treated us so so poorly that I was embarrassed for his sake! He was very stressed and took it out on all of us ladies there at the party! He was extremely rude and rushed us so that he could get out of there, stomped off with our bills when we went to go split the check (which I spoke to the restaurant ahead of time to make sure we could split the checks up) we weren't done drinking our water but he didn't ask us if we were done and just took everything, was huffing and puffing because I think he was upset that we didn't order more than we did (we don't drink alcohol so I think he was expecting more) also the restaurant didn't communicate very well with him because he thought we were going to be a party of 27 (which that was never the case) and the restaurant should've communicated that to him but instead he took it out on us! So my conclusion is that I would not recommend this place to anyone because of how things were handled and my parents go here on a regular basis and my husband takes me on a date here once in a while so it saddens me to say I won't be or my parents won't be back here nor will I recommend it to any friends or family! I really liked the owner but he didn't seem to want to help us out when we went and spoke to him at the end he was apologetic which was nice but didn't offer to help! I hope this helps! read more

I cannot get enough of Mazzis. Talk about an amazing ambiance and amazing rolls to start your meal off right. The prices are great too. I'm from Eugene and this place never gets old. A large group or a date night, Mazzi's won't let you down. read more

I love this place! My wife grew up in Eugene and this restaurant has been a family staple ever since. This visit was a little different. The family was a bit tired from the days activities so we decided a carpet picnic was in order. I ordered pizza and calzones to go and made sure they included some of those epic rolls! Everything was delicious even though it wasn't as crispy as it would have been if we had eaten in. This was the first time I've had the pizza. It was wonderful. Another great meal from Mazzi's... It wouldn't be a trip to Eugene without one. read more

Had dinner here on Monday. We reslly enjoyed it. Kind of cross over menu between the old school and contemporary Italian. Salad was fantastic. Half order of pssta was generous. Service and food were excellent. Glad we went. read more

I got the deluxe pizza to go. It was extremely greasy. I assume this is because they use old style mozzarella cheese. The taste was good. The crust was good the ingredients were good. Just a little too greasy for my taste. By greasy I mean, if you take a paper towel and dab the top of the pizza lightly, the paper towel is soaked with oil. Even after this, the massive amount of cheese wanted to slide off of the crust because of all the oil. read more

Went with a big group that contained both adults and kids, and it wasn't terrible. I liked the look of the bar area and they had a big open fireplace in the middle. It would actually be a good place to go on a date night -- not so much for large groups. The service was adequate, but the food wasn't terribly exciting. I would certainly try it again, but I would avoid doing so with a large group and I'd hope to find a gem on the menu that was tasty. read more

We've been here at least 7 times, never a bad meal, never bad service, always 5 star! Really bizarre why there's only a 3 star rating on yelp. The price paid is certainly reasonable; good meat and fish is expensive for the restaurant. There's usually a lot of customers, sometimes there's a wait for a table, but that's a big clue that it's good food for a good price! Just the ambiance there is also wonderful! The manager usually checks on each table in the evenings, showing pride and striving to do well. read more

I ate at Mazzis this last saturday (10 minutes before the ducks kick off) and was very impressed. I got the seafood ciopino, kids spaghetti w a meatball, and a chicken parmasean for dinner. Before I even got my meal, I was greeted with a small plate from the kitchen (chanterelle mushrooms and Marsala sauce) which was unexpected and INCREDIBLE! Cheers to the transition at Mazzis. I can't wait to celebrate our anniversary there next yet! read more

Mazzis has came a long way in the last ten years. The new menu changes that have been implemented are incredible. The changes appeal to a newer dining crowd, in both classic appeal and new found, functionality. The service was prompt, but left a little to be desired. The food made up for it in more ways thank one. I had the smoked salmon pasta, and my husband had the blackened chicken fettuccini. We will be back soon, hoping for new cocktails! Our new fav place in south Eugene. read more

2 out of 3 of my experiences have been bad. Ordered 7 dishes last night for take out, order was screwed up and the food just tasted bland. No more Mazzi's for us. read more

Always satisfied with the food. I am famous for getting the same dish at restaurants, but their specials are so amazing I am always trying something different! It's so great, I am having my entire family celebrate my graduation there in June, too excited! read more

DO NOT EAT HERE Had my wifes birthday party in the back room. We had a party of 25 and it was planned/reserved three weeks early. Not only did we get our food 2 HOURS AFTER WE ORDERED... We had one server for our 25 people and also another table of 10 people. We had multiple people in our party need something and asked another server for help because our server was not available. Every Time another server was asked they told us to find our server. The manager was no where to be found after asking for the manager multiple times. Not until the end did the manager come out. To top it all off they tried to charge our party for our 25 and the table of 10 that was not part of our group. Then they charged us 20% gratuity for the worst service in the industry. Now we know they cannot do simple math so check your bills closely! I hope the owner reads this and fires that manager because he will ruin that restaurant. read more

Mazzi's is not what it used to be. Took my 2 kids to dinner on a Monday night school night. Got there at 6, left after 8pm! 2 hours is too long. The lettuce on our salads was stale and watery, swimming in dressing. The waitress was all over the place, made lot's of mistakes and went missing for a while. My kid's meatballs were soggy and mushy, my $21 chicken parm tasted like a microwave meal. Unfortunately we will not be going back, until things get fixed here. The one star is for the amazing bus people who made up for everyone else's failures! read more
