had reservations for 6, but didn’t get seated until 6:30 because they didn’t want to open the back room and they weren’t very busy. several smaller groups were taken ahead of us. Took forever to get our drinks and salads. Was 7:15 before we got the salads. Won’t be going back there. Mario would have been disappointed if he was still alive.

We tried Mario's Italian Restaurant for the first time this week. It is a old school neighborhood feel, with the most delicious Italian food. I had the Veal Cutlet Parmigiana with spaghetti. The veal was very tender and in delicious sauce. My wife ordered the Mario Panzerotti, which was plentiful and also very delicious!! Highly recommend giving it a try next time you're in Dubuque.

One of our favorite places for almost 30 years. Mario’s daughter, Lydia made our anniversary dinner extra special with a complimentary tiramisu and gelato to share. Some of the 100% authentic homemade Italian dishes you must try: Mario’s Panzi, the Sicilian salad with pizza bread, Manhattan clam chowder, Chicken parm, tiramisu…the bar: espresso martini, Bloody Mary and Wisconsin style old fashioned. Do not settle for chain restaurant Italian. Go to Mario’s!

The food was absolutely fantastic. We all enjoyed a different dinner, all equally well prepared. Addi gave impeccable service! The next time through we will be back. My Panzoritti was fantastic, the carbonara was fell prepared as was the mostaccoli.

Not great. Server was fine. Garlic bread is fine; nothing to write home about. Very heavy on oil. Plates that came out with the bread were sticky and dirty. Parchment paper placemats. Boyfriend got the ravioli, $16 for 6 raviolis that tasted frozen with borderline rubbery cheese filling in a low flavor, watery sauce. I got the baked cavatini, no meat in the sauce at all when it states it on the menu, noodles were decent, not overcooked, but the sauce was again, watery and low flavor. There was also way too much cheese. It solidified in the oven so it left you chewing for 15 seconds on the same chunk of cheese. Assuming it’s baked in the tin bowl it comes out in, because the whole dish has a nasty tin aftertaste. Salad and chili were good, but that’s all. All said, save your money.

Great food, great service. Try the salmon, it's as good as they claim.
Volare , antipasto, and Manicotti equals bliss. Allow yourself this indulgence ! Thank you Mario family

Ordered two burgers with everything, got two burgers with nothing. Called to complain and the owner Lydia gave us a myriad of excuses was sassy to my wife and hung up on me. She was unprofessional to the point of being snarky. I can not reccomend.
