Mazara Trattoria
2302 30th Street, South Park
Whenever I want to bring an interesting drink to a party, I head to Mazara in South Park, where the bottled beverage selection is second to none. As you enter, there’s a whole wall of liquid courage—everything from Mexican Cokes and unique sodas to local craft beer and more off-the-wall options (like Rogue Sriracha Hot Stout Beer).
And it doesn’t hurt that they also make delicious, homestyle Italian food and traditional desserts. Their vegetarian pizza (with bell peppers, onion, olives, tomatoes, and mushrooms) is my go-to order. Mazara? That’s amore.
