The second location for the Nashville-based eatery with a Mafia theme, this is popular with families, offering play pizza dough for the kids. A July 2008 City Scene review said "the food here is solidly good," with "delicious pastas [that] are cooked al dente," "inventive" pizzas, fresh salads, appetizers that are "unusual and tasty," and a wine list with wines not only new to Birmingham, but to the U.S., and a full bar.

The service is worse than horrible!
My girlfriends and I went to Mafiaoza's this past weekend (2/28). The food was very good. We had to sit at one of the high-top tables so our table was very cramped by the time we got water, wine and an appetizer. The service was not great. Our server was a little rude and seemed anxious to get us out of the restaurant. There were also children running around everywhere. I will go back for the food though! Their bruschetta is a little different, but VERY good. I got "the omerta" which was shrimp and scallops over angel hair with a creamy pesto sauce. Sauce was great, pasta was perfectly cooked and seafood was well seasoned.
This place is one big joke. I am stunned that the distributor for Sassicaia would allow their wine to be sold in a place of such low standards. This is just another chuck e cheeze and I still cannot get over how out of place the wine menu is.They should stick to Glen Ellen and Estancia and stop trying to be what they could never be.
We can't wait to dine with you. We've heard many great reviews. (Stan must be trying to impress his girl friend and doesn't know how).
This place is a joke from the word go. This place won't last a year unless Mountain Brook people actually want another Chuck e Cheeze to keep their kids entertained. The food is straight out of a sysco bag and the service is totally applebee’s.
This place is great. Love all the great tap beers and the food is to die for.Have been a regular since they opened and have not had a bad experience yet. Stan...are you hard to please?
Hey Stan, it's been open more than a year now.
Their antipasti is some of the best in town but some of the apps are lame. Decent pizza although the crust is a little thick.
Weird, this weekend the crust was thinner but too soggy (except for the outer crust) and this was only with red onions and "spicy" italian sausage. Antipasti salumi and cheeses were excellent, as was the tapenade.
