Is Anyone Home At Sherman Oaks’ Beloved Mazzarino’s Italian Restaurant?
By Linda Cardoso
I thought I saw lights on inside….I drove around the corner and did a second pass because I had to be sure….My eyes were not playing tricks there were really lights on inside! I could barely contain myself when I parked the car and got out for a peek inside. I saw tables, chairs, and yes, a stack of menus.
Residents of Hidden Woods, Sherman Village and No Moor Cold Tofu REJOICE! Our favorite neighborhood Italian restaurant, Mazzarino’s, is finally reopening more than two years after the fire that closed its doors back in 2007.
Ask anyone who has eaten there about the garlic bread and then brace yourself for a heartfelt, bordering on tearful description of mouth watering deliciousness. That’s just the beginning – the food is hearty and home style and never fails to remind me of my favorite Italian restaurants in Chicago. It’s cozy, fun and best of all, Mazzarino’s proprietress, Liz, her son John and the staff always make you feel like part of a big happy family. My inside source tell me that Mazzarino’s will be open again in about two weeks or right around September 24. Mazzarino’s Italian restaurant is located at 12920 Riverside Drive in Sherman Oaks.
See you there!
