We had lunch special (sausage parmigiana and spaghetti meat sauce) each, then took home a large pizza. Generous amount for the price (less than $10 for lunch) and food is okay! I liked the atmosphere. The staff are very nice, and the restaurant is super clean. Large pizza (Mario’s special) is only $24.

Always good
Great food and excellent service by Hailey. She checked in at the right time without hovering. Very friendly and professional.
The dining environment was very nice and the service was outstanding. The Chinese chicken salad ordered was delicious and plentiful. I can't wait till my next visit to have more from their menu.

First visit into this chain restaurant. We went in before a concert at the arena down the street! Food was tasty and super hot. Service was very helpful. Food came out quickly so we made it to the concert on time. We will return as there were other bites we wanted to try. Great prices for Italian food. Thank you.

Great food and atmosphere
I ordered the fetishini carbonara, and it was one of the better ones i've ever had. It was missing a little something.But overall, very good, I'd rate food 4.5/5. The service was absolutely amazing.I would rate service 5/5. And the atmosphere itselfThe restaurant is a smaller place, but it's very cozy And has nice relaxing music. I'd rate atmosphere 5/5. Overall, I'll tell you my experience was great.
I would highly recommend coming to this restaurant.

The food was very good, but just one tube of manicotti & on a bed of angle hair spaghetti 🤔. I wanted manicotti, not spaghetti.

Awful! 😩I ordered some take out spaghetti w marinara sauce. It was so greasy & very tasteless! Really terrible!
Overpriced for what it was.
I used to work for Marios some years ago, & it used to be really good food ...

You can't go wrong with Marty as your server. She will guide you through the menu so you'll end up getting exactly what you want. Lunch special under $10.00...that's a bargain and it fills you up. Eggplant 🍆 and pasta were tasty and the service was A+.
