Mazzara's
4.8
(6)
"We went to Mazarra’s last night. It was a success and would definitely go back!"
"For “date night” Mazzara’s. For “we’ve been together for 10 years and need to save some money but want a nice dinner out” Terranova. I really enjoy Terranova, but Mazzaras is really good."
"It isn’t cheap, but it’s very good."
"Another vote for Mazzaras. Good food, good wine, friendly waiters."
"Mazzara's is the only good Italian in Huntsville. It's not just good for Huntsville, either, but actually good. Distant second is Terra Nova's."
"Mazara downtown. Basically the only nice Italian here"
