Our server at Mario’s was brilliant. He was very experienced and could tell that I was having a hard time deciding what to order, so I just told him I was a vegetarian and he immediately came up with a dish that sounded like it was exactly what I wanted. It was like he read my mind! Both me and my friend’s pasta dishes were delicious.

Ok readers, let me explain briefly the reason behind a 3 star review for famed and renowned landmark restaurant on Arthur, Mario's. The service is delightful, with a special regard to House Manager Regina, who greeted our table with sincerity and even made my mother, who frequented Mario's often in the past, with familiarity. Excellent touch to service. Here is the thing, the courses we ordered were very miss. Let's start with the Escargot which was soaked in butter and olive oil. If you are a connoisseur of snails, you'd prolly be better off eating warm bread and margarine. The Branzino which though was pretty delightful in taste, was alil sparse on size and be careful to find the occasional bone in the bite. It was accompanied as requested with spinach that laid on a small plate drenched in liquid that did nothing to present delectable. And the taste, well, heavenly consumed with garlic. The lasagna which I presumed to be a staple especially on Arthur, I found to be lacking in substance, namely, ground beef. Each bite was more noodles with an air of ricotta than anything else and lastly the Creme Brulee cheesecake, is just cheesecake. If you are hoping for a creamy caramelized fusion, you may be disappointed as we were. The only dish that I could truly recommend from our order is the calamari though that's not saying much to diversity. These days good pizza spots can knock that one out the park. I think perhaps, a spruce of the menu is in order.
Best pizza! If you're near arthur avenue definitely stop in! A real neighborhood spot.
For YEARS my family has been dining, laughing, enjoying and connecting over scrumptious food at Mario’s... It’s an experience-a tradition-family... The food is incredible and they will make anything exactly how you wish... But the people; they are why we have been traveling to the Bronx for more than 50 years. The energy, vibe, warmth and setting is unmatched. TOP DISHES: fettuccini filet di pomodoro; clams oreganata, chicken parm, PIZZA, linguini with white clam sauce... It’s a not too miss EXPERIENCE.
WOW!! All I can say is, THE FOOD IS AMAZING!! Great place, great atmosphere! Our waiter was wonderful!! Very friendly and professional staff! We live in Brooklyn and CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK AGAIN!!
