" Though the restaurant has a lovely decor, my experience was hampered by slow service. We waited quite a while to have our orders taken, and once they arrived, my gnocchi was underwhelming; overcooked and lacked seasoning. I think I might give them another chance, but I'll manage my expectations next time. Sometimes you just have to hope for the best. " (*Curated Review*)

" I have never regretted a meal at Mario's! The shrimp scampi was a delight, and the garlic butter sauce was incredible—perfect for dipping the freshly baked bread. The atmosphere was cozy, but it can get loud when busy. Overall, the friendliness of the staff really enhances the experience. I will be returning to try more items on the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wonderful little restaurant. We stumbled upon Mario's on a Saturday night and were pleasantly surprised. The house-made pastas are fantastic, and I loved the canoli dessert! The service staff made sure we felt right at home, even offering additional recommendations based on our tastes. I highly recommend this place for a laid-back Italian night out. " (*Curated Review*)

" Fantastic experience! We were greeted with smiles and friendly faces. The veal marsala was tender and well-prepared, complemented by a seat on the patio where we could enjoy the evening air. We also loved the restaurant's family-friendly vibe. I noticed plenty of kids happily enjoying their meals—definitely a plus. I will highly recommend Mario's to my friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" I often dine out, especially for Italian food, so I was excited to try Mario's. My experience, however, was bittersweet. While the decor has a nice touch of authenticity, my meal, although tasty, felt overpriced for what I received. On a busy night, the servers showed hustle, but my pasta was simply good but not fantastic. I'm giving it a middle score because I feel there’s potential here. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Mario’s for a family gathering, and while the atmosphere was perfect for such an occasion, my dish was a bit lackluster. I was expecting bold flavors but ended up with a bland marinara sauce. The service was commendable, and they were quick to refill drinks and check in on us. Overall, I might give it another try, preferably sticking to their pizza next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Our family enjoyed a lovely meal here. Mario's was bustling with locals, indicating good food and service. I was pleasantly surprised by their portion sizes, which left everyone satisfied. The chicken parmesan was juicy, though a bit greasy. I think my favorite part was the ambiance; it's cozy yet lively. Overall, a lovely dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)
