Aside from the terrible service, the food at Mario's is excellent. I love their fried calamari and baked lasagna. The sangria is great as well. They don't have much in the realm of desserts, so don't expect a delicious panna cotta or tiramisu. What makes me upset, though, is expecting the restaurant to be serving guests at 8:30pm. I arrived on Friday evening with an urge for Italian food and was told the kitchen was closed for the evening – at 8:30pm!!!! The restaurant is never full. Such a shame, because the food is really excellent.
I actually would rate this place 4 1/2 stars for the FOOD only. I have been going to Mario's for many years and the food has always been good. Most of the time I usually get baked clams, fried mozzarella or calarmari to start. For the main course I would get one of Mario's specials which is chicken and asparagus in wine and a light brown sauce. The chicken and aspargus is cooked perfectly with just the right amount of melted mozzarella on top covered with the wine and light brown sauce. Its the type of sauce that I love to dip the hot crunchy bread into.
I have to agree with some of the other reviews about the service. Sometimes the servers are odd especailly the older woman. So, she is not warm and personable. She just goes through the motion of serving by giving you menus, taking your order and bringing you the food all with no real personality. Its all business no chit chat but she does make sure that you are taken care of which is the important part to me.
Its a great place to go when you can't get into the city. If you are looking to just have a nice quiet dinner without bright lights and loud waitstaff this would be the place that I would recommend.
