    Honestly wanted to like this. No restaurants on Arthur Avenue are attractive…but aside from that, the food and wine were truly awful…Sadly, I have yet to find a good restaurant or bakery in the area…I guess it’s mostly a tourist site.

    Exceptional meal and service. I would rate it very highly. A pleasant surprise was the valet parking that really solves the only potential problem around Arthur Ave.

    Ambiance is classical and professional. Drinks were served well from their bartender and a variety of spirits to choose from. Like that they had specials of the day in all categories appetizers, soups, desserts, entrees, and drinks. The baked clams were delicious very moist not dried out and seasoned well! Clam chowder was surprisingly tasty with a hint of lemon and sherry wine! Baked manicotti was FRESH and Superb!!!!! The Veal Marsala was Excellent!!!!! So happy they had veal many places removing veal from their menus. We had a wonderful time and hope to come back, Thank You So Much Mario’s!!!!

    Excellent service and great authentic Italian food for lunch. It was very quiet since it was lunch on a weekday, but we had an excellent meal served by a friendly and attentive waiter.

    I used to love Mario’s as my go to Arthur Ave spot. I was disappointed with an overpriced lunch menu, $14 up charge on adding shrimp to an over dressed salad, and only 5 tiny shrimp added. The service was meh and not as friendly as it used to be. May need a new Arthur Ave spot unfortunately.

    We come from a restaurant family so we were really looking forward to trying someplace new for us. The ambiance is dated, the noise level is very loud ( which didn’t bother me just an observation) the service was ok but the food was very disappointing. Chicken Francese was tough with overpowering lemon in a gelatinous sauce. Braccoila big but very dry. May have been a landmark Arthur Ave restaurant many years ago but we were highly disappointed.
