" Came here because of the great reviews. I had the linguine frutti di mare and it was delightful! The seafood was fresh, and the flavors were spot on. However, my wife felt her pizza was a bit mediocre compared to other places we’ve been. Service was prompt, and we loved the vibe of the restaurant—it felt like a little piece of Italy! We’d return for sure, but we might stick to the pasta next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was lucky enough to drop by Mario's on a busy Saturday night. The wait time was reasonable, and when we were finally seated, the staff was attentive. I ordered the shrimp scampi, which was honestly one of the best seafood pasta dishes I've had. My only downside was how rushed everything felt; I understand it gets busy, but I’d like a little more time to savor my meal. Despite that, I left feeling satisfied and would definitely recommend it. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was truly amazed by the quality of the food at Mario's Italian Ristorante. The Fettuccine Alfredo was incredibly creamy, and I could taste the freshness in every bite. We also tried the wood-fired pizza, which had a crisp crust and delicious toppings. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for a special occasion. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for genuine Italian cuisine! " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely meal at Mario's! The pizza and pasta dishes were nothing short of delicious. You could taste the love and care that went into each dish. We even complimented the server on her attentiveness. However, it was quite busy, so it might be wise to call ahead if you have a large group. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mario's is charming and cozy! From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us like family. For starters, we enjoyed the bruschetta; it was fresh and packed full of flavor. For the main course, the pizza was perfectly cooked with a nice crisp crust. The only downside was that it could get packed, making it a bit noisy. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve tried many Italian places, but Mario’s stands out for its warmth and quality. The garlic bread was fantastic! Every bite made me nostalgic for Italian dinners at my grandmother's house. I ordered the bolognese, which was hearty and comforting, just like home. The only downside was that the service was a bit slow, so just be prepared for that. But the food makes up for it! " (*Curated Review*)

" My experience was mostly good at Mario's. The staff was friendly, and the food was tasty. The bolognese could have used a bit more seasoning for my taste, but the atmosphere was warm and inviting. I really appreciated how quickly we received our orders. " (*Curated Review*)
