It is a nice place to eat, very busy. The food was ok, I ordered calamari and they were different but tasted good, I have a soup which it was ok and my husband ordered the Pesto Genovese and it was really tasty.
Great food and wine selection! You will never be disappointed with any dish here, from pasta to seafood they are the best! Very attentive waiters, never have wait for them to see what you need.
A nice find and gem of an Italian restaurant in Arcata. We were seated by Marquis, our server extraordinare. We started with our favorite drink, Don Julio Blanco, club soda with 2 limes and mint muddled, and Marquis made these drinks to perfection. We started with the bruchetta appetizer, which was tasty and well presented.
My wife ordered the angel hair pasta with prawns, and I had the stuffed chicken fettuccine. Both dishes were excellent, and the service Marquis provided was stellar. This guy could easily be working at the Ritz Calton or any 5-star restaurant as his customer service skills deserve applause and much appreciation. If you are in Arcata, stop in and see Marquis, a true professional, while enjoying a fine Italian dining experience. Highly recommended
Overall a great dinner. Appetizer, salad, bread and dinner was all delicious. Definitely recommend eating here.

We recently visitedMazzotti's Italian Restaurant in the charming town square of Arcata, California.
Let's start with the location itself. Nestled in the heart of Arcata's town square, Mazzotti's Italian Restaurant boasts a quaint and inviting atmosphere. The warm and cozy ambiance, coupled with the friendly and attentive staff, made me feel instantly welcomed and at home. The picturesque surroundings only added to the overall charm of the place.
Now, let's talk food!
Mazzotti's truly knows how to deliver an authentic Italian culinary experience. The bruschetta was a flavor explosion, with fresh mozzarella, green tomatoes, fragrant basil, and drizzles of balsamic glaze, basil oil and pesto, that danced on my palate. It was the perfect way to start our meal.
The salads (we chose salad over soup) at Mazzotti's were a refreshing complement to the main courses. Fresh and crisp, they featured a vibrant medley of greens, topped with a variety of flavorful ingredients (peppercinis, garbanzo beans, olives, croutons, etc.).
Next up, the manicotti and cannelloni were absolute showstoppers. The pasta was cooked to perfection, and the fillings were rich, creamy, and bursting with flavor.
And let's not forget about the wine! Mazzotti's boasts an impressive selection of wines, carefully curated to enhance your dining experience. The knowledgeable staff was more than happy to recommend the perfect pairing for our meal (wine recommendations are also on the menu).
Overall, the best meal I had in Arcata was undoubtedly at Mazzotti's Italian Restaurant. The combination of exceptional service, delightful ambiance, and mouthwatering food made for an unforgettable experience. If you find yourself in Arcata, do yourself a favor and pay a visit to Mazzotti's. Your taste buds will thank you š¤
The food and service were excellent, like always. One of our party even said that he liked his meal better this time than last. He had ordered the same thing.
It was even quiet enough to hear ourselves think this time.
Thru its many iterations Mazzotti's has provided good Italian food in a comfortable atmosphere. They serve freshly made bread with an herb butter, ensuring your appetite will be satisfied. The stuffed chicken Alfredo never disappoints and clam linguini is delicious. The house vinaigrette š.Fully remodeled after the big flu and now is featuring a huge bar with seats for all the godfathers. Molte grazie for all the great food and service for all these years.

This has been a great local establishment. We have been coming here regularly since we moved to the area to go to the University. They are always consistent, clean, friendly, and yummy.
They had a wonderful interior remodel recently, completely changing the vibe of the place. A welcome change. It seems they are going for more of an event space, the stage feels more highlighted, the bar stands out much more with pretty RGB lights behind the glass.
The food is great as always, and the menu seemed to be their classic same. Our server told us that it was still under the same owners, which is great.
One of the best things about going here for Dinner service is their super amazing special butter they serve with the bread. You can also buy it in local stores, it is super yummy hard to describe!
My wife always gets their Seafood Pasta dish and loves it. This time I had the Chicken Parmesan which was wonderful. They have a good selection of local beers which I always appreciate from a local spot.
We love Mazzoti's, nice view out on the Arcata Plaza, which is just nonstop entertainment usually! A nice spot for lunch as well!
Mazzottis has always been a family favorite. The food has changed a bit over time yet remains delicious. The service is hit or miss and this time it was miss. Waitress was nice when she was serving us- she just seemed to be in charge of too many tables perhaps.
The food tasted very good, the portion was a little smaller than average for the price point. The bread was very fresh! The food arrived quickly and service was awesome. We came in on a weekday ~615 pm.
Food was delicious service was amazing! Our waiter Kenny was super friendly and definitely great a his job!
The pesto genovese is great. Great parmesan flavor, good basil flavor, very good. The steak tasted amazing, but the mashed potatoes were very runny and the cheese was too much, and very offputting. I would lighten it up. Pizzas are very crunchy and authentic toppings. Really nice and creamy mozzarella, great flavor. And I love the Siciliano, it was great.
Very nice place to go...
But a bit too fast... š... I started my salad, 2 or 3 min after comes my pasta!
Waitress was nice... But a bit too fast...
it's a really open space so, it's easily noisy, but it looks contemporary and nice though.
They try, I guess, to be a bit too fancy on the recipes, but it makes it "too much"... My carbonara was good, but not great... The sauce was overtastong, and way too much onions...
Mazottiās is a fun place to go for dinner, or to have a cocktail at their beautiful bar. The building and decor are great, warm and stylish. Try and get a private booth, especially if on a date. Or, since itās located right on the plaza, a window seat is great for watching the activities on the plaza. Itās a popular spot, so you may wait s bit for a table. Showing up at opening is your best bet.
Lots of tasty Italian dishes, I havenāt had s bad meal there yet. Their bread, whipped butter, and balsamic dip are fantastic! Good wine selection as well. Their bar is very nice, and is a nice place to pop into for a drink. Highly recommend you check out Mazottiās !
The secret to their Amazing Salads is their specialty house dressings! Wow! I also like to try house wines because it says a lot about a restaurant (which I learned from my extensive travel in Italy). I can tell you that incredible thoughtfulness and care went into picking out their house red. I will be back to try a more substantial meal now that Iām overwhelming impressed. Thank you!
Absolutely amazing food and highly recommend the meat calzone hold the bell peppers. It was probably one of the best experiences Iāve had with an Italian restaurant in a really long time. Service was great from beginning to end appetizers great couldnāt recommend this place enough
