What our guests are saying

Vintage supper-club vibe, Mario’s reminds you why the classics never go out of style. You won't leave hungry, and you certainly won't leave disappointed. The experience is a seamless flow of homemade comfort: The Start: Warm, crusty bread and a classic antipasto relish tray. The Middle: A choice of their signature homemade soups followed by a crisp, fresh salad. The Main: Hearty, authentic Northern Italian entrees that never disappoint.

Classic supper club with tuxedoed waiters and Sinatra playing in the background. We enjoyed an evening here with great Italian food! We ate the Eggplant Parmigiana and the Cannelloni; both were delicious. Wait staff were attentive and friendly.

I had the best time for my birthday. Service was impeccable... food was Devine and atmosphere was absolutely breathtaking. The best time I've had in a while.
