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

Mazzi's - Cannelloni (picture doesn't do justice) - Italian Near Me - Eugene, Oregon

Decided to try this local joint for an anniversary dinner after reading so many positive reviews and because of the close proximity to my house. I ordered the seafood fettuccini and my vegetarian partner ordered lasagna for our entrees, both were delicious! But the standout dish was probably the stuffed mushrooms appetizer we ordered - absolutely amazing! Very friendly attentive wait staff, and very clean and charming environment. I can't wait to go again. Highly recommend! read more

Sometimes it's gratifying to go back to the basics. Calif. Cousins in town and we headed to Mazzis for dinner with reservations. Seated promptly, pleasantly. They have a great menu which makes choosing difficult, in a good way. Went with a Caesars salad and the Marcos Calzone. Perfect croutons and dressing on the Caesars but , oh my golly!! The calzone was a delicious , tasteful surprise! Cheesy, meaty, tasty..it has it all! Oh and filling!! Needed that to go box! When you top that with pleasant, professional service, it makes for a great dinner evening! Enjoy!! read more

Overcooked pasta! Three dishes in total all overcooked. There is better pasta at a school cafeteria. read more

I was in Eugene visiting my stepfather a few weeks ago and we were trying to decide where to go for dinner. We finally decided on Mazzi's, as I had never been there even though I lived in Eugene for many years. It was a Thursday night, and it didn't seem to be very crowded. It was about half an hour from the time we were seated until the waiter took our orders, and then we waited a full hour before we got our meals! I was furious and by that time I wanted to make a complaint to the owner. Fortunately a friend of my stepfather showed up, and he apparently knew the people who worked there. He made a couple of trips into the kitchen to see if he could get them to pick up the pace a little. I was still really irritated and suggested to him that they should comp our desserts, but I didn't actually expect that to happen. Well the mutual friend went into the kitchen and made that suggestion, because the next thing I knew our desserts were going to be comped. They told us we had unfortunately come in at the end of a huge rush. The comping of the desserts made me feel a little better, but I still felt like I had to give them a bad review for this, as I had never before had to wait an hour plus for my food. Normally I would walk out before waiting that long, but I wasn't alone, so I didn't. read more

We went to Mazzi's in Eugene three times recently with friends, a Saturday, a Monday, and a Friday. On all occasions the food was pretty good and not overpriced. On our first visit, the service was excellent. Our server checked on us regularly, and even though somewhat busy there was no rush whatsoever. We even asked if she needed our table at one point, and she told us to stay as long as we liked. She earned and received a very nice tip. The next visit gave us a male server who seemed to have a chip on his shoulder - an air of odd snobbery. We treated him with utmost kindness in spite of the rather cold treatment, along with an average tip. Our last visit delivered the same chap again. Similar attitude. Since there were many empty tables, we did not feel as though we were imposing by staying somewhat longer than normal. Unfortunately, with no apology at all, and with rather unpolished and surprising rudeness, this chap told us that he needed our table and that we had to leave. We are polite, quiet people, so with no fuss, we paid our bill, included a tip, and departed feeling negative about Mazzi's. I'm not sure we will return, as we still carry around unhappiness about the treatment. With so much competition in the area, why would Mazzi's permit an employee to behave so? I can't tell you how many times this treatment has already come up in discussions with our circle of friends, family and co-workers. We are known to dine out often, so we are often asked, "Where did you go? How was it?" read more

Very nice and warm atmosphere. Drinks were very good. Sadly, 3 of 4 meals did not meet expectations. Too much pesto...floating in it and far too much spice in the eggplant pasta. The 4th dish was self-created and enjoyable. I took the word of a woman guest in a hotel. Bad decision. read more

Terrible service, poor excuses, cold food, watered-down Caesar dressing. You get the idea. There is no excuse for a meal being served 1.5 hours after ordering. We didn't order anything special and several who arrived after us were served first. We had to continually ask for someone to take our drinks and food orders. No one came back to ask how it was. Excuses that our waiter was helping in the kitchen, then they ran out of pasta???? So sad, It used to be so good... I know where our money will go next time! read more

Let's start from the beginning. Now before i get into the details of our experience at Mazzi's, I'd like to preface that this review is not to bash this restaurant but to give our honest feedback. We chose to sit outside on the patio. Upon arriving at our table, my husband had to clear spider webs off of the table and chairs before we sat. this however was not that much of a bother. Unfortunately what was a bother, was the empty glasses around our table that didn't look to be touched in days. The wait staff including the hostess and server were both very friendly. I ordered a margarita off the cocktail menu and when it arrived, I was surprised at how strong the drink was. I handed it to my husband and he had suggested that it tasted like a class of straight tequila..when we asked the server to add more margarita mix to the drink, she said "we actually don't use margarita mix, its just lime juice and tequila." we asked for another shot of lime juice in the drink and it seemed to have made the drink tolerable. Next is food, my husband ordered the chicken parm. It was about a 30min wait for the food which isn't bad at all. Overall presentation of the dish he rated a 7/10. The steamed vegetables were cooked thoroughly but under seasoned and by that i mean no seasoning at all. The sauce was the star of the dish, as it was very tasty. The chicken was cooked well and seasoned perfectly however it did not taste like fresh chicken and for the price, you think it would be. The pasta was slightly overcooked which didn't seem to bother my husband. overall a good dish but not worth the price. I ordered the farfalle diabola pasta. I ordered this dish with no mushrooms. the waitress comes back 5 min after we placed the order and asked "are you allergic to mushrooms or is it just a preference?" I answered that it was only a preference and then she walked away. When my dish arrived it in fact did have mushrooms..It would have been appreciated if our server let me know that unfortunately the cooks cannot remove these but instead she just had them make it how it comes. Luckily i'm not allergic to them. It left me wondering if i should've said i was allergic, would i then have gotten the dish i ordered? The pasta itself was okay, not awful but didn't blow me away. Our final note about Mazzi's is that it was alright, but we will unfortunately not be back. With just a few small changes and a bit more passion from the ownership, this place has the potential to be an amazing restaurant. read more

The best Italian food around! Love everything here! Definitely recommend the special manicotti! Yum!

Very depressing that Mazzi's has turned their made from scratch Italian restaurant into this. What happen?? Anything you use to order would come out quick and hot and so good. I went in with my family (5 top) and after receiving water and bread and ordering waited over an hour for our food. And the fettuccine Alfredo was cold?? Noodles aren't homemade anymore either. Veggie calzone was great and so was the minestrone soup. Other than that food was not good. We decided to order desert and got the supposed last 3 strawberry shortcakes that were made today..... Horrible. And honestly even questioned waiter about freshness because the whip cream on top was separated and almost sour. Oh well another getting ready to bite the dust. Once had numerous locations now only one. read more

I went to Mazzis in 1973 until now. It use to be even better but stilll beats the rest atmosphere ect

Mazzi's has apparently changed hands since our last time there -- about a year or two ago. The food quality has gone way downhill. Where it used to be OK (rating of about 3), we'd now give it a 1 or 2. I had the cannelloni. Ate only 1 of two, took the other home and threw it in the garbage. My wife had callemari. It was greasy and tasteless. I doubt we'll be returning until we see or hear of changes for the better. read more

I'm only reviewing this place because the star amount is way too low. This place is incredible! Every time I come here the service is on point and the food is amazing. Such a cute and cozy place if I could eat here every day I would! The Aunt Rose's special is perfect every time. read more

So very impressed with the entire experience. We had calamari and caesar, followed by Seafood Alfredo; perfectly seared scallops, Classic Chicken Marsala perfect sauce and Manicotti with perfect sauce and texture; all uniquely delicious. The desserts were amazing: Tiramisu, affogato ( do not shy on this!) and Marionberry cheesecake with brûlée topping. The server was kind, attentive and not overbearing. The kitchen staff did a great job of maintaining quality. The owner was spent a few minutes adding a warm touch to the evening. Our first time, we are hooked. read more

Mazzi has had a long standing commitment to the Eugene community in providing authentic Italian food. I've had meatball and pesto spaghetti and the quality has remained for over fifty years. The service was also top notch getting seated,beverage order and food ordered timely and all questions answered to insure we get exactly what we wanted. We are returning with 20 guests to celebrate my mom and dads 70th anniversary and very much looking forward to it. read more

Favorite restaurant of all time! I grew up in Eugene and went there as a family many times. Now that I live in California, it is a must stop everytime I visit Oregon. Many memories of this place remain with church pews and stained glass. Super sweet staff, kind and appear to enjoy their jobs. Worth any wait or price! read more

Reservation for a poor dining experience. The place is dirty and outdated. I was hoping the food could make up for it, but it's awful. Cold salty bland basic suspicious food for an outrageous price. This place is like the taco bell of Italian restaurants. read more

I can't tell you how much I love being able to recommend a spot that's been consistently amazing for decades. From the wait staff to the food to the ambiance, we really enjoy getting to eat at Mazzi's. read more

Ragitoni was delicious, I loved the service they gave me water every time my cup was low, Ambiance was good.

I think this is definitely one of the better restaurants in Eugene especially when it comes to finding good pasta dishes. I'd much rather go her than bepe and Gianni's. I'd recommend this place to anyone looking for good Italian food :) read more

Our plans to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary at Walt Disney World had to be postponed due to Covid. We opted instead to celebrate with a quite dinner at home, recreating our reception meal which included lasagna. Not wanting to cook, we ordered from Mazzi's. The lasagna was DELICIOUS. I pride myself on my home made lasagna but Mazzi's was actually better! But the main reason I'm taking the time to write this review is the length that the staff went to to extend kindness to us. Our order was not quite ready when we arrived and when we shared with the staff that it was our 25th anniversary, we were escorted to the patio. The heater was lit and we were given 2 complimentary glasses of Prosecco and a basket of warm bread to enjoy while we waited. Kindness is what we all need right now and Mazzi's delivered! read more

Went here for dinner with friends and was really disappointed. It has been a favorite Italian place of mine in Eugene my whole life. The dinner rolls are usually amazing and this time they were not the same rolls but dry and bland, not the same kind of roll at all. They reminded me of rolls I have had on airplanes. My iced tea was very weak, had no ice and I had to request sweetener. Never any offer to refill my tea or our water. The salads had little dressing on them which was watery and the greens were not as fresh as I would have liked. The calzone looked great. The bread and sauce were good. It seemed like it had mostly cheese and very little other filling. There were parts that truly had nothing between the layers of dough. They did offer a free birthday dessert. I ordered the strawberry shortcake which was like a trifle in a dessert cup and was very good. The server was pleasant but not great. She didn't seem very experienced or professional like I would expect at a restaurant like this. Overall, it was just not what I had come to expect at Mazzi's and was pretty disappointed. read more

Great place. I was here visiting and had the Aunt Rose Pasta and it was amazing. The service was great and the food great also.

In town for a few weeks and my local friend picked Mazzi's for dinner. Wow! amazing, delivered to my cravings and more. My friend and I both picked the roasted beet salad which was absolute perfection. Beets and goat cheese were made fo each other! Also stayed for a second course and ordered a very fresh scallop and prawn pasta. Was too full for dessert but next time! Our server was helpful and brought us what we needed promptly. I loved that when speaking with us he was very focused on our experience. The outdoor ambience was also lovely. read more

Forget about it. Overcooked pasta. Over dressed salad and undercooked pizza. Add that together with the worst possible service and you get Mazzi's Go anywhere else. read more

Mazi's was the first real restaurant I went to back when I moved to Eugene 10 years + ago. Went last weekend for my anniversary and it was still just as amazing. Wonderful customer service, sophisticated drink menu, and even better food. Their seafood pasta is to die for. I only wish they still had the lamb option, but this is COVID times and they have to make sacrifices with the best of us. Thank you for staying true, Mazi's! read more

I love this place. Have been going here since it first opened but haven't been here in years. Seems the same to me. Their salads were good, love their dressing. I got the house Calzone and it was great. I could only eat half of it and had the rest boxed up. I didn't want to smell up my hotel room so I left it in the car overnight- it was cold outside. Got up in the morning and had it for breakfast, it tasted even better. Go Mazzi's read more

My husband and I had our first date at Mazzy's... Fast forward 45 years, the service is not what it used to be, the food is OK, but felt a little bit ripped off because we were required to give a certain percentage of gratuity for just six people at one table.for the service we got it definitely was not worth it. Don't think we will do that again. read more

Staff is awesome and so pleasant. Food is delish. Music overhead was too loud. My husband wears hearing aids and couldn't hear me over our little table. read more

We have been to Mazzis before and had expectations. This night was the last time we will ever go. It took a long time for someone just to take our drink order The drinks were wrong and had to be replaced. When they arrived, they were VERY short on liquor. I'm attaching a photo of my "Gentleman's Ginger". ($9.00) It took even longer to order and get our food. The Calzone was doughey and simply had cold tomato sauce dumped on top. Very flavorless. My cioppinno was over $20 and was almost inedible. Spicy and thick tomato sauce made it difficult to enjoy. To the waiter's credit, he did offer me a dessert to make up for it, but by then I was already feeling sick from the cioppinno. We definitely won't go back to Mazzis. read more

My daughter and I arrived before 5pm and asked for a table for two. The parking lot was just over half full, the lobby was completely empty, and there were many empty tables in the dining room. The hostess said it was a busy night and they wouldn't be able to seat us. Genuinely blows my mind how little effort was made when we easily could've been served. Our experiences have been hit or miss here over the years, but we've always been able to walk in, and having a neighborhood restaurant that you can eat at on a whim is a nice amenity. But seeing as how little effort was made when the restaurant was anywhere but bustling, I can safely say we'll drive a few extra minutes to go to a better fun operation in the future. read more

Such a shame. This restaurant nailed fabulous sauces and delicious dishes - not to mention the phenomenal and caring wait staff. But unfortunately, owner Frank seems to be uncaring of guests and staff. We had a reservation for 7:15 p.m. and received our food around 9:00 p.m., Frank (the owner) in the mean time had accepted a large party (16!) that the restaurant seemed unable to handle. We waited close to 2hours for our meal that unfortunately got placed directly after the large party (if you have any background on restaurant business that's a huge no, no). Frank, despite what employees advised him of, made this reservation and gave his employees no choice but to stay pst close (WHICH IS AT 9! Crazy!). Frank was almost nowhere to be seen, popping his head into the dining room as his employees had to catch up and serve parties that he booked irresponsibly. Didn't check on any customer once. I hope they are being paid OT because that is UNACCEPTABLE behavior of a boss. The waitstaff was extremely kind, considerate in giving updates, and extra dishes to pass the time. However I will be refusing to return as the owner seems to treat the time of his guests and his employees uncaringly. According to other recent Yelp reviews this seems to be a frequent a issue as of late Absolutely disappointing as you can see reviews dipping, and customers no longer returning. Despite delicious food. I hope these employees are paid well for there time. Best of luck. *the sorbets we're PHENOMENAL read more

Went last night for first time not knowing what to expect. Previous reviews on Yelp very schizophrenic. We found a good local Italian restaurant with good service and solid food. Minestrone was good, Cesar the same. Cannelloni with cream sauce and Pasta de Diablo were both very good. Pretty much the same as all the other Italian restaurants we've eaten at in the Eugene area. We'll eat here again. read more

After 28 years of going to Mazzi's tonight we had the worst pizza ever. Thin- we did not order thin crust- and a thick edge and tired skimpy cheese. So sorry to say we can't go back. read more

I had not dined at Mazzi's for years. After this evening, it'll be another 10 years at least. Had a reservation for our party of five. Food took forever to be served. My fettucini alfredo was luke warm, bland and over-priced. Another's Caesar Salad was warm. Pizzas were, well, pizza. Disappointed. The server was very good and apologized for the wait. The place was clean. read more

Lovely little Italian spot in quiet Eugene. Deliciously crisp French fries and all cocktails were yummy. We were passing through on our way from PDX to Oregon coast and it was the perfect, relaxing, hearty dinner. Old school, in the best possible way . read more

m My husband and I drove down to Eugene for a bike ride in the afternoon and we were looking forward to pizza or calzone at Mazzi's where we used to hang out years ago.... the waitress informed us it would be 1/2 hour wait for calzone or pizza because they were our of dough. We said we would wait and she told us not to wait because there wasn't any dough.... amazingly poor service & attitude. She didn't really care at all. Very sad since it was a beautiful evening (but no dough....) Crazy! read more

Bear Italian I've ever had. Love the ambiance and service was great. Perfect everything.
