"Culinary power couple Francesca Barreca and Marco Baccannelli reopened their landmark restaurant Mazzo after a five year hiatus, and this time around, a relatively central location in San Lorenzo makes it considerably more accessible to many residents. The dining room has also grown from a single 12-seat communal table to full-fledged restaurant seating complete with a massive porthole peering into the brightly lit kitchen. Just like the original, the new Mazzo plays with nostalgic forms in dishes like wagon wheel pasta with braised beef and onions, which joins Barreca and Baccannelli’s classics like fried tripe with grated pecorino Romano in a pool of tomato sauce, a retooling of Rome’s signature offal dish, trippa alla romana." - Katie Parla

"This popular trattoria has had a glow up, reopening in the up-and-coming San Lorenzo district after a five year hiatus. The 12-seat communal table has been replaced with an entire restaurant seating plan, but the menu remains as good as ever—with chef Baccannelli reinventing classics, like fried tripe with grated pecorino cheese. This is big, hearty Roman food: the kind of place you want to fall into after a morning hike. There are homemade fettuccine and trofie pasta paired with hearty tomato sauces; fried fish croquettes, lasagna and roasted suckling pig. The spaghetti with clams is excellent; as are the meatballs and the rosemary fried potatoes. Helpings are generous; finish off with a plate of tiramisu and a digestive liquor. The wine list is extensive, so don’t just go for the house red. Labels are mostly upscale and Italian; a glass will set you back eight euros. They also have a very good selection of gins." - Maresa Manara

I was lucky enough to be recommended Mazzo for dinner and if this was London, I would gatekeep the hell out of this place. This was probably the best meal I had in Italy! We ordered the deep fried tripe, wagon wheel pasta, amatriciana and diaphragm. Every dish was excellent, even the amatriciana, which is arguably a simple dish, was miles better than what I had in Rome before. The dining experience was topped off by a very cool, laid back interior and excellent service from all three ladies. I would definitely come back!

Mazzo is hands down the best meal I had in Rome. This place stands out from the usual rustic spots around the city—it's cool, modern, and exactly the kind of place you'd bring friends who appreciate both style and substance. The atmosphere is sleek and energetic, perfect for a lively night out without the traditional old-world décor. The wine list is on point, with excellent pairings that elevate their bold and inventive dishes. The pasta? Pure perfection. Cooked to a toothsome al dente, it might be a touch firm for some, but for me, it hit the perfect Italian note. Each bite was a masterclass in how pasta should be done—brimming with flavor and authenticity. The staff at Mazzo are fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the menu. They guided me through my selection of wine with care, making sure I got the most out of my experience. Their warm hospitality made the entire evening feel special. Mazzo is seriously changing the game for dining in Rome. The mix of cool vibes and amazing food is such a nice change from the usual spots with the same old dishes, and it's 100% worth adding to your list if you're into good eats. Honestly, I'm not the only one who thinks so—other reviews online are raving about how Mazzo nails that blend of classic and modern, and I couldn't agree more.

Excellent food, great wine list and superb service. The classic fried tripe is a must. We had a pork neck that was truly amazing. I loved the dessert too, lemon curd with strawberries coulis and meringue. The staff is helpful, smiling and very sweet.

Did we find ourselves back in Brooklyn? That’s the vibes Mazzo is giving with the vinyl and exposed kitchen. We both enjoyed the rosso and got a second glass of that. In terms of food, we wish they had the famous tripe available to order! Too bad. I believe their menu changes often which is why a lot of the photos from google review were t available to order. We got the bbq’ed mortadella to share (much larger than expected and prob would not recommend since it wasn’t that unique and took up a lot of stomach space. Next we got the wagon wheels pasta which was decent for me but my husband enjoyed very much. Then we shared the roasted lettuce for some veggies - mediocre and very filling due to the tahini sauce. Lastly, we got the pork neck steak which was very delicious 10/10 recommend. Wish we could try the tripe or the diaphragm on the next trip. Overall pretty good meal, but we could have ordered better - bonus points for being able to try something different in Rome rather than just the ubiquitous carbonara and amatriciana.

We had an amazing evening at mazzo. Excellent natural wine selection. Bottle cost is excellent compared to the US. Easy to order both wine and food as non Italian speakers. The food was excellent the wagon wheel pasta may be one of the best pastas we have had in Rome. The ragu with the pasta was excellent. Very well balanced and wonderful texture. Pasta cooked perfectly, I’m pretty sure wagon wheels are the most structurally unsound pastas in the world it always falls apart when tossing. It was perfect here. The fried tripe is spot on, chef just nailed it. And the escargot is an awesome twist on a classic. I could eat many more. Lemon curd dessert was awesome.

We had a fantastic meal at Mazzo. The four of us ordered pretty much everything on the chalk-board menu. The spaghetti with cod was perhaps my favorite dish of the entire trip. Whole wheat pasta with snails was also excellent, as was the veal tongue with chimichurri, fried tripe, and pork belly. Excellent natural wines and tasty desserts too. Was cool to see another part of Rome and get out of the touristy areas. I thought the prices were very reasonable for what we got.
