" I was excited to try Mario's after hearing so much about it, but my experience was kind of a letdown. The food wasn't bad, but it lacked that hand-crafted quality you expect from traditional Italian cuisine. While the staff were polite and service was timely, the atmosphere felt a bit cramped during lunch hour. The portion sizes were decent, though, which is a plus. I might give it another shot in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mario's has been a family favorite for years! The homemade marinara sauce and pasta are delicious and remind me of my grandmother's kitchen. The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff always make you feel special. This restaurant is a true staple and leaves a lasting impression with each visit. I can't emphasize enough how good the chicken parmesan is here! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a lovely experience at Mario's. The pasta was satisfactory and the flavors were on point. While the service was prompt, I did find the atmosphere a bit loud which hindered conversation at times. Overall, I'd come back because the food quality was certainly commendable. The portion sizes were also impressive! " (*Curated Review*)

" One of my coworkers suggested this place, and I’m so glad I tried it! The food was fantastic and made with care. It felt truly authentic. The dining experience was laid-back which I appreciated. The staff were very accommodating, making my first visit feel special. I highly recommend this Italian restaurant to anyone in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mario's is hands down my favorite Italian spot! The lasagna is huge and delicious and takes me back to family dinners at home. I love how the servers treat you like family, always with a smile. The ambiance brings a nostalgic feeling that'll keep you coming back. This restaurant is simply a gem in Lexington! " (*Curated Review*)

" If you need a solid meal without all the frills, Mario's is the place! The food is straightforward and hearty, with authentic flavors. It’s apparent that they focus on their traditional roots. This is a great place for families since the portions are large and well-priced. I would recommend stopping by if you're in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" I was very pleased with my dining experience at Mario's. The restaurant offers an authentic Italian menu with a vast selection of traditional dishes. The waitstaff was attentive, although the rush during lunch caused some delays. But once the food arrived, it was worth the wait! Perfectly cooked pasta with exquisite flavors, I'll return when I'm in town again. " (*Curated Review*)
