Papa Mazzotti's is no more. It is now an Indian restaurant Tikka and Wings. Very good, they were happy to accommodate food allergies as best as possible.

Permanently closed. It's a Nepalese restaurant now.

I love Italian food and saw this place when I went to get my haircut at the nearby barber shop. Me and my wife went to eat here and though it wasn't bad tasting food, the sauce had a weird taste to me. I ended up with food poisoning and was sick for 3 days after eating here. My body didn't digest the food fully and got rid of it that night. My wife was fine so maybe I just got unlucky. Regardless, this is the only place I've gotten food poisoning from. I hate to give a bad review to a small restaurant like this but they made me sick so.... I wouldn't recommend.

Love it here. It's a shame they are retiring. Try to come here before they shut down. The tiramisu is amazing and the menastroni soup is to die for. Love the staff too. Try it out!

We love this small business! Their homemade spaghetti is the best we've ever had! Also very tasty marinara, and meatballs and Italian sausage.

I wanted to like the local neighborhood Italian place , but it was the worst meal I’ve had in a while.We ordered two sandwiches for takeout. The Italian sandwich was mostly provolone with a couple small pieces of salami and pepperoni. The meatball sub had dense, flavorless meatballs. Both sandwiches were on huge pieces of seemingly cheap sub bread and weren’t toasted. In general, everything was under seasoned. The sandwiches came with chips, which were Doritos and chili cheese Fritos—odd choice for an Italian spot.

One of the best Italian restaurants I've ever been to. Family owned for 27 years and everything is homemade. The staff is very friendly and the atmosphere is very cozy. The food is out of this world too! Couldn't recommend this place enough!

Update. Finally made it back here. Portions are still huge. We always have leftovers. This weekend they had a Valentine's day cake dessert which was super delicious. Come with an appetite and patience. Their hours are limited. Call ahead for reservations. We waited about half an hour which is pretty normal for any restaurant lately, we should have made reservations. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful.Yum yum yum. Huge portions. Very authentic. Only open on weekends but still the same great food and service.
