Got there and the restaurant was closed
Best pasta in town!!
The waitress was nice but food was nasty but it was all I had all day so I was starving and ate it but I want be back. My husband said his food taste microwave and my did to and tasted old.
Great food by owner cooks. Family friendly with great Italian food. They have buffets some days like Sunday lunch.
We were visiting in town to ride the local bike trail. We happened on this restaurant and initially were a bit reluctant to go in as there were no cars in the parking lotv at the time. We decided to take a chance and are so glad we did. Our dinners were fantastic, the service was personable but still efficient. They do a busy take out service and others came in through the course of our meal. Clearly this is a place known by locals who appreciate full flavored, authentic Italian cuisine. Go to Mario's, you won't be disappointed.
The people were friendly, food is good and the restaurant and bathrooms are clean but when it takes over 2 hours to get your food, a return visit is not in order. Unless you have a lot of time to waste I would not chance stopping here.
By far one of the best meals I've ever had from a restaurant, coming from hole-in-the-wall dining experiences in Madison, Wisconsin. The people were kind, the food was incredible, and the energy was warm and inviting. Can't wait to eat here again after I demolish the leftovers from the MASSIVE portions of food!! 😍
The only thing we left behind was a clean plate. Everything we ordered was delicious!
The food is wonderful, especially Veal Marsala and Fettucini with white clam sauce, but service can be extremely slow. They no longer offer wine, gave up their license, and if they mess up your order, they say sorry and offer no concession.
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.

Food and service are excellent. The owners are so sweet and kind. The food does not come out quickly because everything is made fresh. It is always worth the wait! Delicious!

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!!!

I’m a very picky eater and I generally don’t eat left overs often but, I ate their cheese ravioli for dinner one day and then breakfast the next. Also their cannolis were fantastic, I haven’t had cannolis that good in years!
