   We were in from out of town, just were looking for a place close to the metro that had reservations available. Stumbled upon Mazaro and were not disappointed at all! Amazing service and outstanding food! Was one of the best Italian dishes I’ve ever had. Also was a really neat area of town! Would absolutely come back next time I’m back in the d.c. area

   All of our food, minus the bread basket was good. However, they crammed so many tables next to each other in the corner they sat us in that my husband and I were practically shouting at times. The older woman at the table next to us was actually closer to me than my husband was and every time she leaned back I was afraid her scarf was going to knock my drink over. We also had to constantly flag down our waiter whenever we needed something like more water, a box, the check. They weren’t paying much attention. If we decide to eat here again we will just do take out.

   Definitely a good Italian spot... Food was on point albeit a sourdough or Italian bread would have been more appropriate but the Pizza dough bread was a nice twist... Albeit americanized the food was delicious. We had the Chicken Parm, the Amatriciana and the Penne a Vodka... All came out great. The guanciale was not too salty which made it awesome for me albeit not quite original.. Loved the home made Lemonchello and the moose cake for desert

   Food was good, nothing particularly outstanding. Service was slow and we didn't have a consistent server. Some items seemed overpriced for what they were. Not sure we'd go back with the kids, as they don't have any sort of kids menu and don't offer plastic cups (my son asked for milk and got a giant glass). I understand we're probably not their demographic, but it would be nice to accommodate families a bit more.

   Best Italian we’ve had in a long time!! Home made, authentic and not super expensive. Amazing!

   They did not seem prepared for our reservation. We were placed in the corner between the kitchen and the bar with a cobbled together table. The food was fair for the price, no complaints. Staff were very kind, attentive, and apologetic for the awkward seating.

   Horrible service. The restaurant was not very full yet we waited 20 mins for a server to approach our table for a drink order. And an hour for our food. It became clear that all of their staff including the kitchen was spending their time and attention focused on getting take out orders out the door. Very disappointing. Won’t go back.

    Excellent Tuna Tartare. The veal piccata was not as lemony as most recipes, but delicious with a more mushroomy sauce. Really nice waiter. Loved the 20% special discount during restaurant week. I don't often go back to Italian restaurants since there are so many to try, but I will to this one.
