" I visited Mario Fazios for our date night and what a great choice! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly, and our server Lisa made some excellent recommendations. I had the veal parm and it was cooked to perfection. The portions were generous, which left us stuffed but very satisfied. My only complaint would be that the restaurant was quite busy, making it a bit loud, but that's just a sign of how popular it is! Will definitely return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came here for a casual lunch with friends, and it was a pleasant experience. The server was quite friendly and attentive. I ordered the stuffed shells, which were decent, but I felt a bit bland in flavor compared to other dishes I’ve tried at similar Italian places. The ambiance was warm and welcoming, but I think there’s room for improvement on the seasoning front. " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible! We celebrated a family reunion at Mario Fazios and I must say the food was nothing short of fantastic. The Sunday sauce can easily be the star of the meal! We also ordered pizzas that were perfectly cooked and very generous in size. The servers were extremely attentive, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend this restaurant for any gathering! " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently held a family reunion at Mario Fazios, and it was a fantastic experience. They let us personalize our menu, and the meal was delicious. The service was immaculate, making sure we had everything we needed. The portion sizes were generous, and the Sunday sauce was to die for! Highly recommend for any events or casual dining alike. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mario Fazios is the epitome of comfort food! The nostalgia of enjoying homemade Italian meals is palpable. We had a mix of pasta dishes, and the flavors were spot on!

" A lovely evening at Mario Fazios. The food was authentic, particularly enjoyed the fresh and hearty wedding soup; it's a unique find! The server was friendly and attentive, although the wait time for our entrees was longer than expected. The ambience was cozy, perfect for a nice dinner out. Worth trying as the flavors were genuine Italian. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I loved our time at Mario Fazios. We chose this restaurant based on family recommendations, and it did not disappoint. Each of us ordered different entrees and shared everything, which allowed us to try a bit of each dish. The meatballs were especially fantastic, tender and flavorful. The only downside was how busy it was; I would recommend making a reservation in advance! " (*Curated Review*)
