Italian Flavor Escape

Here’s a sneak peek of the items our customers can’t stop talking about

What our guests are saying

The food is excellent! The focaccia was soo deliciously crunchy, yet soft, and bursting with salty flavor. The chicken and seasonal veggies were tasty and perfectly executed. My favorite thing about Mauro’s is the lovely outdoor courtyard. It makes for a wonderfully relaxing lunch. And I ordered an espresso after lunch, which was made with true, Italian coffee. Plus, the wait staff were super friendly and seemed genuinely happy. It felt like stepping into Europe. We can’t wait to go back!

I have only gotten tea here a few times, not the food, but I can say that the atmosphere is amazing, the staff are so kind and considerate, and it’s just an overall pleasant place to sit and enjoy yourself.

Wow what a treasure! Visiting granddaughters in the area and celebrating wife’s birthday. Arrived it’s 1.15p reservations in a Saturday. Promptly greeted and seated like family. Honestly genuine and warm greeting from the staff. Super special vibe! We ordered the Bruschetta appetizer a few glasses of wine and waited on lunch. The service was prompt and the food was cooked and served quickly. Again, the servers and support staff were superb. The food was awesome. I was in the mood for carbonara but did not find it on the menu so I ordered the Penne Porcini and asked for bacon to be added. That turned out fantastic! The other dishes were a hit as well. The lamb shank was fall off the bone and beautifully seasoned. The Penne Primavera was cooked in point and the vegetables and tomato were flavorful. The Fred’s pasta looks like a favorite and was very pleasing. We shared a carrot cake and tiramisu for dessert, had an espresso, decaf Cappuccino and a latte- all on point! Fabulous meal and hope to return soon! Fantastic experience
