Book NowAbout Mazzaro Restaurant
Mazzaro delivers traditional Italian fine dining across from Hyde Park, pairing white-linen table service with generous, unpretentious classics. Look past the unassuming Elizabeth Street facade and settle into a room where seasoned staff still place linen napkins on laps and swap out silver cutlery between courses. The kitchen plays to timeless strengths—think tender carpaccio dressed with shaved parmesan, pan-fried king prawns swimming in garlicky pan juices, and saffron angel hair pasta loaded with seafood. Tables fill quickly for mid-day business lunches and evening celebrations over bottles of Australian wine, ending on a deconstructed tiramisu.
- Classic Formal Hospitality: Staff place linen napkins on laps and meticulously switch cutlery between courses in an old-school dining room.
- Hyde Park Frontage: Located directly on Elizabeth Street across from Hyde Park, offering an easy escape from the city bustle.
- Traditional Italian Fare: Generous portions of king prawns, carpaccio, saffron angel hair pasta, and seasonal duck breast.
