I found this place recently while looking for restaurants to go to for my birthday. I was a tad worried about some reviews that were placed on here, being apparent cockroach problems. However, I decided it would be fine, seeing as I want to try more local places. At first glance, I was given a good impression of the place. The outside looked very nice, inside looked clean and decorated, and the service was great! The service time was very quick, being around 20 some minutes for a pretty large amount of food. I personally got the Cheesy Italian Bread, Bacon Cheese Fries, and the Pasta Platter, with the Meat Ravioli and Fettuccine Alfredo with Chicken, Broccoli, and Bacon, all of which were very good! If you’re looking for a good small restaurant, this is the place to go!

Went in looking for pasta, they had a great selection plus a create your own option. I tried their seafood Lasagna and was pleasantly surprised by how good it was. I also had some spinach and feta raviolis. Delicious! My friend got some meat ravioli and liked them a lot. But the real winners for me were the fries and garlic bread!!! Incredible! Definitely a great place to stop in and try

This is a standard Italian-American red sauce restaurant with a bit of retro charm. It’s a well-loved spot for locals, where staff and servers make everyone feel very welcome. You cannot go wrong when you choose their house-made Italian dressing with its vinegary bite, for your salad. The tortellini soup and traditional lasagna are no-fail choices. Their seafood lasagna–a house specialty–is rich and truly filling. For an opportunity to try several menu items, go for their lunch buffet. Salad, soup, pastas, pizzas, and a special entrée are “all you can eat”. Service is consistently very, very good. Those hosting and managing are friendly, efficient and experienced.

We had a very large group tonight. Jennifer was an amazing server. We were never waiting for drinks and the food was amazing! I’ll be back again soon. Next time I’m having pasta. It looked so good. We had the Buffalo, Meat Lovers and The Mario’s special. All delicious. My fav was Mario’s Special.

Food was good. I had pasta with the Alford Mushroom Sauce. The sauce was delicious. My husband had the Italian Salad and it was good. The service was friendly attentive, and fast. The menu has a variety of items.

Debated on posting a review since not only have I been coming to this very place for over 30 years, I’ve grown up living down the street as a child, even worked for the company a short period when I was younger and NEVER have I been so disappointed. As soon as we walked in we weren’t greeted by friendly faces but 3 employees at the bar two of which were sitting. Takes a minute but one gets up to ask how many in the party. We were seated. Almost instantly a server came over asked for drink order. And then took off for a long period of time before even attempting to come back and take the order. Mind you it’s myself and one other person and two other tables total in the restaurant. I order an appetizer and never received before food which in itself took extremely long to get.Server never comes and checks on us and other servers cleaning the floors. I have never seen such crappy service. I do not feel it was just our server but in general a whole environment issue. Rachel was our server but not any of the other staff paid any attention to us either. I hope this helps push the staff back to friendly and acting like they like the job they have. No complaint about the food, the cooks did a great job.

We love Mario’s. We usually order their delicious pasta. We decided on pizza.
The pizza was great and so was our waitress.

We had the weekday buffet. Our waitress was amazing. There was one gentleman who was working extremely hard to make sure the buffet had warm, fresh food. Our drinks remained full. The staff was friendly and the food was flavorful.

Not worth stopping by. Waitress was inattentive (on her phone and so were the other 2 waitresses), pasta dish had way too much sauce (swimming noodles) and pizza was mediocre.
