Mazzotti's Ristorante Italiano

This has been a great local establishment. We have been coming here regularly since we moved to the area to go to the University. They are always consistent, clean, friendly, and yummy.
They had a wonderful interior remodel recently, completely changing the vibe of the place. A welcome change. It seems they are going for more of an event space, the stage feels more highlighted, the bar stands out much more with pretty RGB lights behind the glass.
The food is great as always, and the menu seemed to be their classic same. Our server told us that it was still under the same owners, which is great.
One of the best things about going here for Dinner service is their super amazing special butter they serve with the bread. You can also buy it in local stores, it is super yummy hard to describe!
My wife always gets their Seafood Pasta dish and loves it. This time I had the Chicken Parmesan which was wonderful. They have a good selection of local beers which I always appreciate from a local spot.
We love Mazzoti's, nice view out on the Arcata Plaza, which is just nonstop entertainment usually! A nice spot for lunch as well!

The secret to their Amazing Salads is their specialty house dressings! Wow! I also like to try house wines because it says a lot about a restaurant (which I learned from my extensive travel in Italy). I can tell you that incredible thoughtfulness and care went into picking out their house red. I will be back to try a more substantial meal now that I’m overwhelming impressed. Thank you!

Their doorway is where I slept my first night in Arcata. Can't say much about the food but it makes a great emergency shelter for the evening though it's a little close to the park which remains active throughout the night. It looks like they probably serve really good food. Definite five stars for emergency urban camping. 👍💯❣️

delicious food. the calamari was too tough and chewy. it only has tentacles but no circles. still delicious.

Food was delicious service was amazing! Our waiter Kenny was super friendly and definitely great a his job!
