Mazara Trattoria evokes the Italian regions of Puglia, Campania, and Sicily with its fresh, authentic fare. The chef enlists all-natural elements like fresh basil leaves and a dash of lemon zest—often fresh from the owner’s personal garden—to craft the antipasti, specialty pizzas, pasta dishes, and Italian entrees.

Start with a light appetizer like the pane rustico, toasted rustic bread loaded with vine-ripened tomatoes and olives, fresh garlic, and red onion, all tossed in an olive oil marinade. Then devour an artisan pizza such as the Fra Diavolo, a spicy creation topped with crumbled Italian sausage and sliced hot cherry peppers. You can also enjoy a classic entree like the chicken marsala, the chicken Francese, or the spaghetti Bolognese. Just make sure you’re not too full to savor a few sweet scoops of gelato or sorbetto for dessert.
