Mario's Restaurant Reviews
Extremely long wait time for food. Nearly 2 hours from the time you order even when they aren't busy. You would expect if the wait time is that long the food would be mind blowing but it was subpar when compared to a super quick chain restaurant unfortunately.
We heard Mario’s is a great Italian restaurant. Drove 40 minutes to get there. Guess what? Sign on door says closed for a private event. You could at least post a notice on your webpage that you would not be open to the public on Saturday! Bad Customer Service in my opinion!!!
We enjoyed a delicious and affordable Sunday Brunch this past weekend. There were lots of homemade options paired with great service and a welcoming staff. After years away, we'll be back soon.

Mario's Restaurant offers a taste of Italy in Forest City, NC. The restaurant provides an authentic experience, reminiscent of family-style dining in Southern Italy. The menu features delicious dishes, such as the highly recommended shrimp scampi. The owners maintain the traditional ways of running the restaurant. The atmosphere is cozy, with 70s and 80s decor and music playing from decades-old speakers. The staff is friendly, known to treat customers like family. The food is generously portioned, with a homemade touch that leaves a lasting impression. Mario's is a place known by locals who appreciate full flavored, authentic Italian cuisine. Dinners are fantastic, the service is personable but still efficient. The food is incredible, and the energy is warm and inviting. The owners are so sweet and kind. The food does not come out quickly because everything is made fresh, but it is always worth the wait. Go to Mario's, you won't be disappointed.
