Went to Mario's on Wednesday night for their Prime Rib. Never disappointed when we go there. We got there early and got a good table. By 5:15 all tables were full. By 5:30 there was a 30 minute wait. Prime Rib was the best I've had. Service was great. I am a regular there normally on a different day. Everyone was having a great time. Will definitely be back.

LOOOOOVED it! $5 BIG glass of wine! Friendly, excellent service! Great early bird specials! I'd be back every week if I lived less than 2 hours away! As a bonus...they feed the needy every week and support Veterans! I'm coming back! (For the shrimp scampi...but dying to try the meatballs!)

Food was tasty, the wine they fill it up to the top of the glass and great service. The owner Mario came out and asked how our food was and even told us how to heat it up in a skillet the next day. Such a great experience will definitely come again. Very traditional Italian restaurant, love the vibe here too

Came here for dinner with mom. The ambience is so cute, you feel like you're in Italy. The painted walls with the murals, and the grape vines with lights. The music was so cute as well. We came on Monday night, so it was not crowded, the food was delicious, we got a large margarita, pizza, a small Caesar salad, and a small angel hair pasta with meat sauce. The service was great, they kept showing our waters and asking if we needed anything else. We will definitely be coming back.
