Great meal in a quiet clean atmosphere. Had the traditional spaghetti and meatballs and it was very good and great portions. House salad was terrific. Wife had chicken Marsala and was very pleased also and very large portion. Will definetly put this on the list of places to return to. And it's a 30 mile drive!! read more

My new favorite place in the area. I had their signature salad which was really good. It was a little soggy but the flavor was good. It's known for its strong garlic flavor. I had the lasagna and it was possibly the best I've ever had. So good! I added a side 4oz sirloin and it was great. I love this place. read more

The famous Mazza's salad is world renowned . I flew to Gambier yesterday from Santa Monica, CA where I live and my first meal back in town in always Mazza's! Mike Jr. and the team are amazing hosts! Providing robust service and support to all their guests. The food is always some of the best in the State! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming! Come visit enjoy a meal or a cold beverage in the bar read more

Great service, great food. Was there for Mother's Day dinner and everything was excellent. Our server was very helpful with suggestions as this was our first time there. If we're ever in the area again, would definitely go back. read more

It's my best salad from anywhere and they're for you to be so freaking good if you love Italian, this is the place to go. read more

Great place to go with the family!!! Also the food was excellent and the place was really good with the environment setting around you. read more

Seems like quality depends on who's cooking. Yelp says I need to keep talking, so, Mazza Monday is a terrific deal.

Wait staff could have used more people. Our Savanna could not have been nicer. First visit, steaks were excellent and perfectly cooked read more

Good food! Have always had good service. Outside dining is a nice option. Like that they accept reservations. Wish they had different dessert options. read more

I went here for my birthday dinner last month and it was fantastic! The service was prompt, attentive and friendly. I had the calamari and it was the best I'd ever had. Amazing. My husband and kid loved their food. The environment was inviting and special at the same time. I would highly recommend Mazza's and will definitely be going back! read more

This is an amazing place. I am from Brooklyn NY and of Italian Heritage. Mazzas in Mt Vernon Ohio is so similar to New York style Italian Restaurants you will not believe you are in Ohio. Whenever I am in the Mt Vernon area,I make sure to come here for the great food and ambience. Plus the service is great. I recommend Ally who waited on our table. You have to check this place out. Food is awesome. read more

Stopped going to Mazza's awhile back because we didn't like their red sauce and they served canned parmesan. Recent have returned and found their red sauce pretty good BUT they still serve canned parmesan. WHY? The server should offer freshly grated parmesan tableside at any decent Italian restaurant. This little detail will make us infrequent visitors. Atmosphere and service were good. Food was good... except no fresh parmesan. read more

This is a bit tricky to review. Our family of five went on a weekday dinner. It was pretty empty and by the time we left it was maybe half full. Older crowd. Interior was pretty fancy, candles on the tables with water decanters and paper on the tables. The table came with complimentary bread and little packets of butter. I'm not a fan as that's unnecessary waste and the butter was difficult to spread as it was hard. Metal cups are better. The five cheese bread appetizer was good, the marinara dip came hot in a metal cup. There were only four slices of bread so we had to cut a piece in half. Our meals were marsala, wild mushroom ravioli, lasagna, and little Italy. The ravioli was disappointing as it tasted good, but each plate only had four and five pieces of ravioli so we left hungry. The lasagna was good. Marsala was also good though he felt like there was a bit too much sauce (possibly balsamic bourbon?). The manicotti had an odd lemony taste. The Alfredo was a bit dry. Despite that we did think everything tasted good overall. The meals do not come with salad, that costs extra. Since we were hungry we went home and had bowls of salad at home. It actually tasted good overall, I just don't feel the pricey was the best for the portions. Since I had ravioli I'm rating based on my own experience more than my family since they may have done 4 stars instead. I'm just not thrilled going home hungry after paying like $18 for 5 pieces of ravioli. I'm not a big eater so I can't even remember the last time I left a place hungry. Also there are at least a couple vegetarian options, but be aware there's nothing vegan on the menu. read more

OMG the worst Pizza I've ever eaten! I've eaten at the restaurant and it was decent and decided to try the pizza. What a mistake, see photo of a large pepperoni. Here is what's wrong - besides the obvious: Almost no sauce - see photo of cheese removed. Cheese rubbery - overcooked microwave kind. Inedible. Crust - almost unbelievable that a restaurant with good rolls would serve this. So thin that it's burnt and would crack your teeth, and no flavor. See backside of crust photo. Flavor- most any kind of crappy pizza I've had has more flavor. Oily - see photo. But I think the oil is probably its best feature. Size- well, it's a large for $15. Looks pretty awkward and tastes worse. We opened the box and dialed another pizza house in town. That's how bad it was. P.S. we picked up our pizza straight away so it didn't sit around. Do not order from Mazza's, it's a disappointment. read more

This is a great restaurant and we had Savannah as our waitress. She was very friendly, helpful and professional. Would eat here again.

Food and service great. Love the wild mushroom ravioli. My husband's steak was cooked to perfection, medium rare.

Great ambience. Very good food. Great pasta and meatballs! Delmonico steak very tasty with horseradish topping. Dang it! Making me hungry just leaving this review. Awesome place to dine out in Mt Vernon Ohio! read more

Service and food is always amazing. My wife and I always get the calamari for our appetizer. We both get the chicken Marsala which is great and since I love garlic I always get at least a small Mazda salad. We usually go here for our anniversary and yes it is a little pricey but for such a nice restaurant with great food I expect to pay more than I would at Ruby Tuesdays. read more

Monday night all menu items starting with the letter "M" are half-off. Make a reservation! Restaurant established in 1939! The bread is so good- along with the zucchini fries and macaroni (see I got my M menu item)! This macaroni is so real that the cheese was stringing like it would from a pizza- wow! Highly recommend! read more

Always great food and wonderful service! Hosted a friend from TX here last Wednesday and the bartender, Carrie, provided excellent service and great drinks! The Delmonico steak was ordered by two of the 3 of us and was cooked perfectly to temp. And the house classic, Lasagna was as amazing as ever! Looking forward to introducing new friends to Mazza's and the FAMOUS Mazza Salad, which was also a hit! read more

Food good. Ambience Rat Pack & Liberace. Service friendly. But price points are too high. Fix the price & your stars will follow.

My wife and I enjoyed the quality food and service. This was our second time and Mazza's has always been very good.

Atmosphere is good, with a large dining area. It was a Monday, so it was very crowded and reservations were needed, but it was not terribly loud as you might expect. The menu was large and had a lot of offerings. I went with the lasagna, and the famous side salad, both of which were really good. I was pleased with the server, who was very friendly and accommodating. The prices, being a special on Monday were surprisingly inexpensive. I would definitely go back, if in the area. read more

I stayed in the hotel next door for work for several months. I always had a great experience and delicious food every time I went there. Their hospitality is over the top. Great staff all around. Well done! Thank you Josh read more

The service was great and it was one of the most original special I have seen in a restaurant - on Monday's everything that starts with a M is half off. I just not find the food that enjoyable. The vodka cause on the Bebe was not the best I have had. The sauce the mussels were cooked in was great but the mussels themselves were a little rubbery. read more

in all honesty, this is probably the worst Italian place. I've ever eaten at in my life by far worse than the Olive Garden and the Olive Garden is literally the McDonald's of Italian food. The calamari was extremely overcooked. The two pieces of tiramisu were very outdated and tasted extremely stale. You could tell that they had been sitting in the cooler for quite some time. The dish that my husband ordered which contained bacon was all bacon fat, not actual pork meat bacon, the Alfredo sauce is definitely not homemade. The mozzarella was undercooked... Even my 10-year-old said that his burger was awful and he is very easy to please. After spending $110 on this food I did Call and Voice my opinion and was told that I would be refunded and here it is a week and a half later and I have yet to be refunded. Not one manager, even called me to apologize or try to explain or offer any type of anything at all to me that is the worst type of business that you can run, all for profit. zero customer service. read more

Too pricey. Didn't get anything with meal but some rolls. Had to pay for salad. We had good service but I just can't afford this place. My spaghetti and meatballs was good but not worth the price. It does have a nice ambience. The garlic salad is good if you're into ALOT of garlic. All in all it wasn't our bag. read more

Mazza's is an institution, in my mind, having grown up with the original Mazza's. I still love it and would definitely recommend the restaurant for good Italian food. If you're not opposed to garlic, definitely get the Mazza's salad. I think it's just as good as it used to be, although my mom disagreed with me today. We made a reservation for noon through Open Table and met at the restaurant. We were quickly guided to our booth and provided with water and bread. The bread is ok, it comes with little packets of Land O'Lakes whipped butter, which was cold and not spreadable on the not warm bread. Service at Mazza's is good, it's not extremely fast, but it's more of an experience to take your time and enjoy the company of the people with whom you're dining. I ordered the entree Mazza's salad and a half order of fettuccine alfredo. Both were excellent. Mazza's salad includes chopped iceberg lettuce, massive quantities of garlic, cheese (gorgonzola maybe?) and maybe salt. It's not for everyone, but I love it! The fettuccine alfredo was creamy, garlicy deliciousness. I have half a salad remaining for lunch tomorrow. My husband ordered the manicotti. It came with two tubes stuffed with a delicious ricotta mixture. It was topped with a nice generous amount of red sauce and cheese. He enjoyed it! My mom ordered a half entree of the shrimp scampi and an entree Mazza's salad. She felt the scampi lacked flavor, unfortunately. The server accidentally entered the order as a full entree, but charged only for the half potion ordered. The entree comes with 5 large shrimp. No complaints about cleanliness, music, or noise. Everything was nice. read more

Mazza's was much better than we anticipated. We ordered the Chicken Milanese and the Pasta Amatriciana with Chicken, and they were both very good. Our friends got the the Chicken Marsala and the Chicken Parmesan. A Mazza's salad was also ordered. The service was uneven, for example the waitress brought us our food but had no idea who had ordered what so we had to figure out what the entrees were and who they belonged too. She also told us she didn't like the salad even though she works there. The food was hot and the proportions are generous. The prices were what you'd expect. Some things to improve on would be the bread. Sort of lukewarm and blah. The chicken on the Amatriciana was more of an afterthought than anything else. Decent Italian-style place in a town with few options. read more

Someone suggested this place while we were in town. So we thought we'd give it a try. Started out with bringing out some Awesome bread. Hubby ordered a spicy pasta with sausage can't remember the name of it. And I got the chicken alfredo. Both dishes were yummy with a nice sized portion. Had leftovers to take home too. The waitress was pleasant and took good care of us. We will be back if we're ever in the area again. read more

I struggle giving this place a 3. Went with my wife and daughter. We got a pizza for an appetizer, it was good. All got a pasta dish, mine was terrible, daughter liked her's and the wife's looked like a soup but she said she liked it. A tall draft was almost 10 bucks! That's ridiculous. Wife's wine was 10, but that is to be expected even though it's overpriced to begin with. I just don't think the place was worth the money. Olive Garden would have been better and that's not saying much, and coming from an Italian! If you go just be prepared, it was expensive and just OK. Staff were friendly and the place was clean. read more

We've enjoyed Mazza's for years- downtown and now the one on Upper Gilchrist. There is no better Italian food, in my opinion. Of course the salad is iconic. When we lived in Mt Vernon, our mother tried to replicate the recipe-- close but never exact. I live in Miami now, but we always go to Mazza's before leaving town at least once. Do not miss this opportunity to enjoy this extraordinary dining pleasure. read more

Full price, Italian food -is average. Didn't get a salad with entrée ? Prices are high for quality given. Restaurant was clean and the staff was nice read more

Another great experience at Mazzas! We requested a quiet booth with our reservation and were given the option of the dining room or bar. We preferred the bar and we're quickly seated in a quiet corner which we appreciated. Our server Desiree was excellent! Friendly, courteous and thorough. We ordered a small Mazza salad along with the Wild Mushroom Ravioli and Linguini with additional shrimp. Everything was cooked perfectly and delicious! Topped it off with a shared Tiramisu along with a couple of boxes for leftovers the next day. Did we mention our server Desiree... can't say enough good things about her! read more

Was able to stop here for a set lunch. Off rip the class of the place is phenomenal. Really attentive staff, very accommodating as I waited for my party to arrive. The bread is AMAZING. The perfect crispy crunch on the outside, while the inside is soft and full of flavor pockets. Can easily become a guilty pleasure. What isn't a guilty pleasure is the calamari. By far the best calamari I've had yet. Delicious everything. For my main course I got the terminal burger. Again, knocked it out of the park. Great flavor, loved the amount of salad on top. If you're ever in Mount Vernon, Ohio, seriously check this place out! read more

This Italian restaurant beats everything else we know in Columbus. The Famous Mazza salad is very garlic/vinegar heavy so prepare your tastebuds (but oooh so delicious).

A++! 110% My boyfriend and I tried Mazzas for the first time last week and we both were completely speechless. There's a reason this restaurant has been around since the beginning of time and that's because it knocks it out of the park. We had the mussels and zucchini fries to start and they both were delicious, but the mussels left us speechless. Perfectly cooked, excellent flavor. I had a pasta special that I can't remember the name that was so good I have dreams about it. My boyfriend had chicken Alfredo and he ate it all before I could blink. We had cheesecake for dessert that was out of this world. Our service was also excellent. The craziest part of all is that we both had multiple drinks, 2 appetizers, an entree each, I got a side salad, AND we got dessert and our meal was barely over $100. Absolutely unbelievable and we will be back!!! read more
