Mazzotti's - Italian Restaurant - Italian restaurant in Arcata - 773 8th St, USA

Italian style food served in a bar with high ceilings, modern styling and loud disco music. Plenty of efficient staff of college age are somewhat distracted. Not my kind of vibe, but few options for lasagna or eggplant Parm in the area. Both dishes were prepared and presented as individual servings, assembled, e.g. not baked and cut from a larger pan, aka family style. The sauce was good, the bread was great. Unlikely to return anytime soon. Will be sure to eat Italian Food outside of the area when traveling even if at a Macaroni Grill. Forexamle, I went to a hole in the wall place called Sacramento Pizza Connection and had a amazing good tasting lasagna served with cheesy bread in styrofoam with a plastic fork.

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.

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.

Overall a great dinner. Appetizer, salad, bread and dinner was all delicious. Definitely recommend eating here.

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

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 🤌

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 👌.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.

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.
