Just a stone's throw from Chez Jeanette, Mazzucco is the address for gourmets with a passion for Italian cuisine.
Born between Venice and the Dolomites, Lorenzo Mazzucco has 25 years' experience in the restaurant business. A graduate of the Ferrandi school, his aim with this small 28-cover restaurant is to offer only the finest produce and homemade dishes .
Mazzucco Mozza & Pizza is a mozzarella bar with a highly specialized selection. Available by the plate, in 125 or 250 grams, you'll find buffala braided, ball, buratina, burrata, smoked or raw-milk buratina truffle. They are served with an arugula salad and Sicilian cherry tomatoes, oil and basil. As well as a few pieces of grilled focaccia flavored with rosemary that you're sure to remember...
But Mazzucco is also the Pizzas of Matteo Fadda, pizza maker for 13 years, who attaches great importance to his dough being fine and crisp. The toppings are also meticulously selected, from black olives from Gaëta to 16-month Parma ham. All the pizzas have a first name, like the Chiara (tomato sauce, mozzarella di buffala, Sicilian cherry tomatoes, fresh basil), the Lorenzo (tomato sauce, fior di latte, bresaola, arugula, parmesan), the Elliott (tomato sauce, fi or di latte, 16-month Parma ham, parmiggiano) or the Mazzucco (tomato sauce, fior di latte, scamorza, speck).
You'll also find the famous antipasti, boards of Italian charcuterie and, for the figure-conscious, salads like the Cortina (arugula, Parma ham, smoked mozza, Sicilian cherry tomatoes, fresh basil) or the Ciene (arugula, braided mozza, candied tomatoes, parmesan, basil olive oil). To finish on a sweet note, there's Tiramisu, Panna Cotta (plain or dairy caramel) or Crema di Cioccolata.
2 lunchtime takeaway options
To accompany all this goodness, a fine menu of Italian aperitifs and digestifs such as Proseco, Martini, Amaretto, Limoncello... But also wines from Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia and Sardinia. Beer lovers won't be left out, either, with a fine selection from the "32" craft brewery that's not short on personality!
From June 20, 2015, children's workshops are offered every Saturday, from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m., during which they can get their hands dirty. Count on 15 euros for them to become budding pizzaîolos! Reservations required on 06 81 46 02 36.
A new 100% Italian spot, just the way we like it!
