We went with the Calamari and fried zucchini for appetizers. Both dishes were served fresh and tasted delicious. For entrees we went with chicken Parm, Pasta, and shrimp. Although the delivery took some time, it was expected as each dish was made fresh. The dishes were well proportioned and the waiter even took the courtesy to pack up our leftover for us to bring home.
Perhaps the most notable aspect of this family owned restaurant is the way you feel welcomed and accepted as family; Especially considering we were of a South Asian Background. The owner himself ( Mario ) came to us personally several times asking us if we needed anything, providing jokes, and making our visit more than just eating food.
If I am in the neighborhood again, I plan to come back. It goes without saying, but I ABSOLUTELY recommend this restaurant !
A bread basket with butter was provided to the table. I got the grill salmon, which comes with a side of vegetables and pasta. The server also provided cheese to top off your food. The food was good.
We took my dad to dinner here for his birthday, and the entire night was completely ruined.
We had 6:00 pm reservations for a party of 10. Appetizers did not arrive until 7:40 pm, an hour and a half later. In those 90 minutes, we were served only two rounds of drinks. Dinner didn’t come out until 8:30 pm, which is unacceptable by any standard.
When the food finally arrived, some of the entrees were wrong, and the sides came out 20 minutes after the main courses. After waiting hours, they couldn’t even get the orders right.
We repeatedly asked to speak with the manager or owner. When he finally came over, his solution was to offer free coffee and dessert, an insulting response to what had already been a ruined evening. After reading other reviews, it’s clear this is their standard response to major service failures, which speaks volumes about the lack of accountability at this restaurant.
We clearly stated we were only paying for drinks, appetizers, and the single edible meal my mom was able to eat. Despite this, the owner attempted to charge us $600 for food we did not eat. When asked if we wanted the food wrapped to take home, we said absolutely not and reiterated that we were not paying for it.
Things became even more inappropriate when we were pressured to pay half the bill in cash instead of by credit card. We ultimately paid half the bill while being treated rudely and dismissively by the owner.
As we were leaving, after completely ruining my dad’s birthday dinner, they somehow thought it was appropriate to have someone sing “Happy Birthday” to him, accompanied by an accordion, as we walked out the door. It was awkward, tone deaf, and deeply inappropriate given how the night had gone.
This wasn’t just bad service. It was grossly mismanaged, unprofessional, and disrespectful. What should have been a celebration turned into an exhausting and embarrassing ordeal.
If you value your time, your money, or the people you’re celebrating, do not come here. Absolutely Mario’s is not worth the risk. Not even worth one star !
