Mario's Italian Restaurant

Really good food. Which is a nice change because finding good food here in NC is kind of difficult. I came from Los Angeles a couple years ago and food here is pretty poor overall comparativley. In all fairness to the chefs out here, it's not completely their fault because finding quality meat out here can be difficult. But anyway point being, that when I find a place out here that does have good food, I enjoy it, and I really think it deserves to be recognized... It's a nice place as well.

Went for Sunday dinner. I had the Veal Parm and my wife the Stuffed Shells. Both were delicious, with very good sized portions. Drinks and wine also good.

Huge portions and very testy! Water is drinkable and not smelly. Good selection of beer including wheat one. Great place!

Delicious pizza unlike so many other places in the area.

We have been loyal customers of this restaurant for over 30 years, but our most recent visit was truly special. We booked a private room for a luncheon following my mother’s celebration of life, and the team exceeded every expectation.
​David was incredible to work with—his communication during the planning stages was seamless and reassuring. On the day of the event, the service for our 60 guests was flawless. The servers were respectful, professional, and handled last-minute requests and quick updates with total grace. They even went out of their way to make a special plate for my 4-year-old when she wanted something different, which we appreciated so much.
​The food was perfect, as always. We are so grateful to the entire staff for making a difficult day a little easier for our family. We will certainly be back for many years to come.

If I could give 6 out of 5, I would. This place was fantastic. We adored everything we got: garlic knots, calamari, seafood fra diavolo, spinach stuffed shells, lobster ravioli, bacon cheeseburger pizza, and desserts (creme brulee, tiramisu, cannoli). The large portions allowed us to share with each other. Definitely coming back here.

I have watched the MD buffet go from $25 to now $60. I get that food costs have gone up but have they really that much? We will not be attending this year after 6 consecutive years. Pasta is the main course and it still costs nothing for pasta. What will it take for people to realize that if we stop buying prices will go down? This is a money grab. A seafood buffet in MB is 50. Come on.
