You wait outside to be seated Immediately upon being seated you are given water, bread rolls, and oil-balsamic, and menus. Food comes out at different times, maybe more family style We got pizza and pasta with vodka sauce - both were very good! Tasty food!

Mario’s restaurant has delicious food, fast service, and a clean beautiful restaurant.
Upon walking up we were promptly greeted and seated.
Server filled glasses with water quickly, rolls and olive oil came out quickly, and server took our order quickly.
Just that itself is a huge point to make - I cannot tell you the number of restaurants who hostesses ignore you, take forever to seat you, servers who disappear for half an hour.
I lived in Italy for two years - the pasta and pizza were delicious and came out hot and fresh.
When we needed to head out - server promptly provided a check and checked us out.
Only con was the restaurant was a bit loud, not the restaurants fault, but made it hard to hear my wife across the table from me.
Other than that - great experience.

Our party of 3 was able to walk in and be seating right away.
We did like that the staff was very attentive and fast.
Our glasses were always full.
The first thing that came out was bread, as soon as I saw the bread I wondered if it was frozen.
It reminded us of the pre-cooked frozen rolls you see at ALDIs or Lidl.
We tasted the bread and it tasted bland.
Our food was out in about 10 minutes which wasn’t a good sign for us. I had the Alfredo pasta, if you don’t like your mouth being burned by garlic do not order this.
This dish was overpowered by so much garlic it started to burn my tongue.
On top of that there was no flavor.
The flavors were mute, not at all exciting or a representation of Italian food. Our recommendation would be less garlic, add salt, fresh bread have salt and pepper at tables.
For Italian experience don’t rush your guest (don’t have them pay unless they request it).

Owner response

Hello sorry for the inconvenience.
As seen on the picture looks like the food was exceptionally delicious, as far as bread its a complimentary bread and we buy it parbaked and we bake it in the oven , when it comes to alfredo sauce its the best in town .
Just for correction garlic doesn’t burn your mouth.
And salt and pepper just ask .
