Born in Milan, Lazzari started his professional career at hometown club Atalanta. During 2003–04 Serie B season, he was promoted from Primavera under–20 team to the first team.

Lazzari followed Atalanta relegated back to Serie B in June 2005. He won Serie B champion with the team in June 2006.
In August 2006, he was loaned back to Serie B for Cesena, as part of the deal that Atalanta signed Adriano Ferreira Pinto. On 31 January 2007 he was sub-loan to Piacenza Calcio, as part of the deal that Cesena signed Alessandro Pellicori. In July 2007, he was loaned to Serie B newcomer Grosseto, where he finally became a regular starter and scored 9 goals.
