Mazzaro - Italian Restaurant Reviews

Fabulous Italian market. Bakery, espresso bar, deli,gelato, wine and cheese rooms, meats, produce, imported Italian products. It is like a trip to Italy.

I was here about two hours ago. This place is huge and the food is delicious. They have a huge selection of Italian food and the sandwiches are amazing. They also have a ton of beer and wine.

They have a deli section where you can buy sandwiches and other things for lunch.

I will definitely be back.

It's like the closest to an authentic Italian market around. Love this place!

It's the next best thing to being there. "Italy"

Other than ridiculously crowded, this place is amazing!! Never disappointed by any purchase here, ever. From fresh ravioli, mozzarella balls, to the insane dessert and espresso bar... it's definitely worth braving the crowd!!

Thanks absolutely wonderful as usual the sort of disappointed that we couldn't sit out in the back patio but sitting at the counter was not that bad we actually got to watch the ladies make the espressoand we ask them a few questions about how to make the expresso they were very kind and answered every question that we sort of came up with thank you guys for being there you are a wonderful benefit to St Petersburg

Nothing in Florida like it. Nice selection of harder to find items. The house-made products taste great. As close as I can get to my childhood memories of living in Brooklyn.

Great place
. very busy.xalent food.

Excellent selection of quality food. The deli section is chaotic and could use some type of structure. I was looking forward to the opportunity to eat out back but decided against it because of the negative experience. The check out clerk was extremely friendly as were the gentlemen in the fresh pasta section. Overall an amazing place and I will be a return customer.

If I tell y'all that this is just flat out an amazing store, would that make you want to visit? We made two trips in one day!!!! It was simply amazing! I've never seen a REAL Italian market in Dallas or anywhere else. The selection of "stuff, things and deal" was very, very good. Yeppers, our next trip to Florida to see grandkids, go fishing, admire the sites, we have now added a brand new place to go, got it bookmarked/google mapped/memorized.

Great Italian market. Lots of attention to detail. Food is great. Service is awesome.

Amazing Italian deli and coffee shop. If you have a chance check it out!

Great deli sandwich.. very good prices..always fresh...always crowded... been here many many times

Great place to spend way too much money for basic food.

This place is an institution unto itself. If you are a foodie, do yourself a favor and go here.

However, you're probably better off doing that during the summertime... or not during most operating hours during Snowbird Season, as the sheer volume of impatient pensioners that packs every available inch of standing room makes me put off going here more often.

I realize why a place like this is a one-off, but if there was another location opened up some place (besides the one at PIE,) I'd drive out of the way just to make shopping their amazing selection a little bit less of a headache.

Really great good and selection. Highly recommend. They can get busy so I recommend calling ahead.

Very crowded, all of their items are wonderful. Had a coffee while there.

Fantastic Italian Market. True authentic experience. Great gourmet cheese and wine section and fresh pastas too.

BEST SANDWICHES EVER!!!!!! They have the best everything. I love coming to this place. I feel like I'm in touch with my family every time I come here.

We absolutely love this place! Fresh italian food and market.

This is a "candy" store for the best in Italian delights. Butcher, Fishmonger, bakery for bread and treats plus gelato. Cheese, wine shop, fresh pasta and gravies, frozen or ready to heat for dinner. Plan on at least an hour or more if you get a sandwich or coffee at the bar. Dining area. An incredible place with excellent food and fair prices.

Who wouldn't like Mazzaro's! If y'all can't find something to enjoy here, then you just aren't right!

OH MY GOSH! This is unlike any Italian market I've seen -- it has everything! Problem is --- very, very busy. But it's worth fighting the crowds to buy the incredible food they have.

All things Italian, make a trip and plane on stsying for a few hours. Order a sandwich, while you wait grab an espresso or cappuccino. Then check out the wine room and Cheese room, don't forget all the fresh pastas Auntie pastas deli meats. There's also the butcher shop and prep food and that's just the one building there are three it's it. It's an experience and attraction.

Great food and great service offering a variety of products. Love it!

WOW, if you like authentic Italian cuisine you ve got to try this market/restaurant. I bought a baguette and their home made beef and cheese lasagna, took it home baked it in the oven. Fantastic, really. You gotta try this place.

Love it and he baked goods are simply fantastic. My mother was and wife is a fantasic baker, so I'm spoiled about baked goods. Rarely buy in a store or bakery, BUT... saw and bought Amaretto balls because they sounded interesting. Outside my wife's homemade apple pie, they were the BEST. DESERT. EVER. One is big enough to split, but once you taste it, you'll want the whole thing. They are wonderful just as they are, but add a side of whipped cream and it goes to a whole new (otherworldly) level, I've also had cannolis from the bakery....delicious. I'm always in a quandary of which to buy....so I almost always get both !! Keep up the good work Mazzaro's !!

We went around 10 so wasn't super busy. It was good and a lady ask what we were looking for and we told her and she helped us. Was very kind.

Lunch here is both high quality and good value, we plan to come more often!

One of the best Italian shops around. The service might take a few minutes sometimes because so many people go there, but it is worth it to wait.
The have pre-made food that doesn't feel like that, feels pretty good. Good variety of sandwiches and sweets.
Cheeses and wines with great selection.
This is a place to go and try for sure.
Will go back.

Step back in time. Market has fresh meat, cheeses. Wines and so so so much more.

A one stop shop for epicurean feasting. Five stars relative to what's available in St Petersburg. It might make five stars even if on Arthur Ave NY, for the fun and whimsy of their outdoor setting - and that says a lot. Given they really have cornered the market on the Italian food experience here, they take nothing for granted in good customer service and fair pricing. The quality and freshness of products served is clearly selective. The variety of options and groceries for take-out allow for the fun and deliciousness to be enjoyed at your convenience back home or wherever. Do take advantage of the wine section where a very different set choices from most large chains make their vintages a great enhancement, plus perfect pairings for the foods are right there, along with sound advice from staff.

A quirky foodie friendly market with excellent sandwiches, coffees and pastries. But really it's an experience you must go to understand exactly how great it is.

All you have to do is try to find a parking spot than you'll know how good this place is!

The best of Italy in St. Pete! The food, the wine, the cheese, the coffee--absolutely to die for!

What is there to say? This place is awesome. I buy my whole beans coffee and various foods.

Loved it!! Everything was freshly made. There breads and homemade pasta is so delicious. Busy little place and I can see why.

Great selection for all things Italian ! Delicious !

A wonderful atmosphere and loved the wine tasting
.

This is hand's down the best Italian market in Florida!

This place is so awesome - just be ready for a ton of people. Pizza is amazing. Order a slice, grab a latte at the bar and watch the magic happen.

Such an amazing, authentic Italian market. Great sandwiches, meats, produce, pastas, coffee, gelato, baked goods, etc. One of the most unique, enjoyable places to visit in St. Pete.

Love Mazzaro's! Amazing food and the best coffee beans in St. Pete.

The best!! Deli, pasta, dry goods, bakery, wine shop, cheese shop, prepared foods, coffee bar too.

Authentic Italian food and atmosphere that never disappoints.

Great Ilalian market one of the few authentic Italian Markets South of the Dixie line.
Fresh home made mozzarella daily; dried sausage; complete pork and cheese areas; everything Italian,

Locals know this gem well and it's usually busy but rarely a long wait.

Check out the Bakery, take a number worth the short wait he pignoli cookies and sfogliatelli are the bomb!!

Extensive , pork products,
Classic and quality Butcher( meat loaf is a secret fav)
Imported chesses in the cheese shop as well as fresh made daily mozzarella.

Mario from the Chew would be right at home here. Prepared foods for take out.**
Make it an afternoon and visit the tea complex and houseware shop. Not cheap but no good Italian is !!
Bada bing ! Bada boom !

I took a friend from out of town to visit. Always a favorite and baked good are amazing.

Staff are VERY helpful and their food is fantastic! Customers can eat under a covered patio which is very comfortable.

Deli, restaurant, wines, cheese's, bakery, coffee!!!!!! This place is amazing

This place is BUSY! Expect it to be packed but its packed for a good reason. They get you in and out as fast as possible and the food is great. They work off a ticket system for ordering and they have it fairly efficient. The food is delicious, you cant go wrong! I also recommend them for catering, I am always excited when I see Mazzaro's catering show up at work - far better than the typical bland sandwiches from the local sandwich chains.

If you are a native New Yorker like myself and are a fan be of Little Italy and all the delicious italian eateries there, you are definitely going to appreciate this fine establishment. the sandwiches are amazing! but so is their Canoli cake. good Lord you have to try this place out! FYI, they have EVERYTHING from wines, to cheeses to a very cool houseware and gift store with all imported italian items. did I mention the amazing gelato? please just check it out.

Love this market. Been there 4x now and have yet to buy anything I didnt like. Fabulous deli and bakery. All the stuff you miss from the NE and thought you couldn't find here in FL. Not anymore! Worth the trip. Plan on it being a tight crowded shopping experience. Ive yet to find it not packed. Well staffed, friendly and helpfull, the lines move fast. Its really not as bad as it appears when you see the crowd. Its obviously well managed and they have a good system that is working. Just take a number and make sure u listen for it as they call them out. 5-stars for sure! Good job Mazzaro's!

Fun special Italian market! BEST lemon Crunch gelato! Great breads pastas big sandwiches. There is some thing for everyone. A nice experience and a sweet get away. Wonderful fresh spinach pasta! Please make more ! Special Sfigliatelle Italian Seashell pastry beings back childhood memories with my Italian Grandma . Thank You

Ahhhh, Mazzaros! Our areas grocery icon !! Buy your milk and eggs at the big box store but this is the only and best place for your meat, fresh fish selections, scallops, shrimp, many vegetables and as you walk along to your right will be a large selection of frozen ready to cook meals, containers of amazing soup s and pasta salad s etc., then the wine room which also has specialty cheese, Specialty honey then the coffee area with beans to grind or already ground coffee that s so much better than the big box selections yet the prices of everything are so competitive to the big box stores. I m doing my best to walk you through just as you would be with you our cart. Move along to the case filled with homemade gelatos, grab a ticket for the outstanding selection of homemade baked breads and another ticket for the insanely amazing baked cookies, cakes. Wow. The middle aisles are filled with things in jars and boxes. Wonderful!, but stand back because on the other side of those shelves is the prepared foods area. Be careful because you can very easily fill your cart. You won t break the bank but you will have a cart filled with outstanding prepared foods. Just around the right side of the case is the homemade pasta and a frozen case where you want to be sure to stock up on their frozen meatballs. They also have varieties of their sauce in this case. That little section also has their pizza pies to take home and cook. I am so grateful for Mazzaros. Sure I can cook but I can do other things and let them take care of that for me. By the way, you can also sit down and eat there. If you do you ll be fortified to cross the parking lot and visit their shop filled with cooking vessels, etc.... have fun!

Absolutely amazing food every day and it's super cheap! I could come here every day if I were able.

Absolutely perfect! I've been looking for an Italian place. Inauthentic one. I finally found it. We ordered three sandwiches and got a bottle of wine. Everybody is smiling and happy to be eating and drinking. It is so freaking busy here everybody comes here from all around just for the food, wine and coffee. Oops you can't forget about the cheese. This place is absolutely huge! Robert who works in that wine area directed us to the perfect bottle of wine. It was absolutely delicious. It actually reminded me of when we were little and my grandpa used to give us wine. It tasted exactly like that. We will definitely be back here.

This is an superb market stocked with excellent foods -imported and domestic. The produce section is A+, and the cheese department is the best anywhere in the region. There is also a very pleasant dining area.

The deli bar is the only reason I go. Great food. Strict hours because the staff would never get home to see their family. I recommend it to anyone coming to town (The Hot Italian sandwich is worth it)

The selection of product there is incredible the smell and the sounds it reminds me of an old world market place you have to definitely see and experience.

Absolutely love Mazzaro's from the moment you open the door to the aroma of fresh bread and herbs. Beautiful produce & an exceptional selection of meats. We didn't have a chance to order lunch but the prepared lasagna we took home was delish.
I wish we were closer but definitely worth the drive

Wow. Amazing deli sandwiches, the store is a madhouse though. Avoid Saturdays.

This is THE BEST Italian market around, there reputation keeps them packed beer, wine, meat,sausage, ravioli, all sorts of pasta, cannolis AND you can stay for lunch and sit back and enjoy manga! Don't miss this gem

Closest thing to a real Italian deli anywhere in Florida.

Food was okay. Lots and lots of people were there on a Saturday afternoon. Parking is horrible plan on walking. A bit on the expensive side for a hot sandwich. If you like a crowd of people enjoy!

Great food to eat there or take home. Authentic Italian, and the bakery is awesome.

Great place love it can't get to go all the time but when I do I get my favorite things love all the religious status inside the store

Delicious food, drink and dessert all resonably priced. Cheese, pasta, spice areas as well as the grocery all have fantastic selections. Bakery and pastry is the best in Florida, and so is the capuccino. Looking forward to returning as often as possible.
