“Best restaurant in Lake George. Food is amazing!! Fresh ingredients.10 out of 10! You not only get a phenomenal meal at Mario's, but you get an experience...very romantic atmosphere. We love it here and will be coming back for years to come. Very special place.“

“Great food! my favorites are the chicken parm, lasanga, pizza, and the meatballs are out of this world!“

“Really really great bruschetta, everything tasted fresh. Vodka sauce was so good, we ordered the penne 2 days in a row on vacation. They also sell Lion Farm Cookies at the checkout and those s’mores cookies were out of this world! The staff were all very friendly also. Will definitely be a regular stop on our yearly trip to town.“

“Hidden Gem Just Outside the Village – A Must-Visit! We thought we were just stopping in for a quick slice… and ended up with a full, unforgettable Italian meal! Just minutes from the hustle of downtown Lake George, Number 1 Pizza feels like stepping into someone’s home—if that someone happens to be an incredible Italian cook. The specials drew us in, and we’re so glad they did. Everything is homemade—from the rich, savory sauce to the perfectly seasoned meatballs. The lasagna was layered with love, and the manicotti, made with delicate crepes, was hands-down the best we’ve ever had. You can taste the care and tradition in every bite. The owners are genuinely welcoming, the atmosphere is cozy and unpretentious, and the food is the real star. This place isn’t just about pizza (though we hear that’s great too)—it’s a full-on Italian comfort food experience you won’t want to miss. If you’re in Lake George, make the short drive. We will be back!“

“Thanks to Tommy's guns for making the REEDS Family Reunion so great by your service of catering our event August 16th 2025 the food that was ordered with your recommendations was so enjoy by all and your service of setting it up was with perfection.

“Great pizza and pinwheel and get the raspberry cheesecake!! Order at the counter and the girl that works there will get you in and out and back on the streets fast! Pizza has a perfectly cooked crust that you will eat every bite of and be able to hold and never need a napkin as it is not greasy.“
