" Gotta say, Mario's is my new favorite spot in Dubuque. The pasta is made fresh, and you can truly taste the difference. The staff were friendly and welcoming, making for a pleasant dining experience. Plus, the portions are quite generous—great value for your money! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high hopes based on recommendations but was left feeling underwhelmed. The food was average and not very authentic. I also found the service to be lacking; my server didn't check on us enough. On the bright side, the atmosphere was warm and homey. I might give another chance in hopes of a better experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to visit Mario's after all the good things I'd heard, but sadly my meal didn’t match the hype. The fettuccine was bland and lacked seasoning. The server was nice but didn’t check on us enough. Maybe I came on an off night because the ambiance was great and seemed like it could be a cozy spot. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic experience at Mario's. The food is authentic and incredibly delicious. I especially loved the homemade ravioli. The staff is warm and welcoming, making every visit worthwhile. I left full and happy with a fantastic dessert. What's not to love? " (*Curated Review*)

" Visiting Mario's was a nostalgic trip for me. The decor screamed old-school Italian supper club, which I adored. My family had several dishes, but the highlight was the veal. It was perfectly cooked, and the marinara sauce was spot on—rich and flavorful, not watery as I had feared. The service was a bit on the slower side, but the warm atmosphere and friendly staff made up for it. I will definitely come back, especially for that veal! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a delightful little restaurant! The pizza is fantastic, with a nice, crispy crust and loaded with toppings. The family atmosphere was palpable, and our server was exceptionally friendly. I tried their seafood dish, which was fresh and well-prepared. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we'll make the trip just for the pizza bread! " (*Curated Review*)

" We celebrated my daughter's birthday at Mario's, and it was fantastic! Great food, lovely family atmosphere, and the staff made us feel special. They even surprised her with a dessert! Highly recommend the fettuccine—very creamy and delicious. " (*Curated Review*)
