Such amazing service and when I say the food was great I really mean the food was to die for. SO SO GOOD! Our server chatted with us and gave us awesome recommendations of in housemade pastas and made the whole experience absolutely amazing, if you have a chance to eat here I would completely recommend it

It was like stepping back in time in an era of nostalgia and Italian food in an atmosphere of a time gone by with dim lit dining room, stories of stars visited and movie references. The visit here was an experience, the food is great, old school traditional sauces, which u can tell were homemade. The owner walked around greeted people had beautiful conversations gave us a little history Lesson about the neighbourhood and menu highlights.

Best Italian I have ever had, 10/10 food & service. Don't miss their penne a la vodka & margarita pizza!

I ordered the Magherita pizza and was attentively waited on! The recipe is 100+ years old and did not disappoint. Nice quiet place for lunch, would love to return with a group for dinner as it seems more of a family-style focused establishment than a place to grab a quick bite.

Mario's has been a family tradition since the 1960s. I have fond memories of large family gatherings at this treasure of a restaurant since I was 8 or 9 years old! Mario's granddaughter almost always greets you at the door and makes sure that you're welcomed and cared for. Incredibly helpful and friendly! The wait staff is very knowledgeable and can't work any harder to make your time there unforgettably wonderful!! In the last few months, my girlfriend and I have been there several times and have chosen different dishes from their varied menu. Everything has always been prepared perfectly...so mouthwatering and delicious. I've had their stracciatella soup, which is incredible, as is their salmon, their pasta, and their chicken francese, to name a few. The bread basket is filled with amazingly tasty, crispy and soft sliced bread with oil or butter! Needless to say - desserts....just great!!! I love the tartufo, but they have a number of other terrific choices as well. And...coffee!! The interior is decorated with old-world paintings and soft lighting. Arthur Avenue is always busy, but they have a parking valet who takes care of your vehicle and makes sure it returns in perfect condition when you're ready to leave. Mario's is a special and lovely restaurant experience that we will continue to enjoy for years to come!!

Loved our visit to Mario’s! Everything was great. Loved the Osso Buco and Calamari. Great generous wine pours as well, and friendly staff! Will come again when in the Bronx.

This place was wonderful! The Al Forno pasta was really good, but the Alfredo was amazing! The staff were attentive and kind. And to add to the atmosphere, a group of carolers joined the restaurant which was very festive!

My grandparents used to come here for date nights back in the day. My mother and I decided to make a trip to their old neighborhood and visit their favorite restaurant. It’s exactly as expected with beautiful low lights, comforting music, and delicious food. I highly recommend the penne alla vodka and any glass of red. The pasta is fresh and the bread is warm. Make sure to order a bit extra bread to get all the extra sauce. It’s worth it. We will definitely be back.

Big portions, friendly services, authentic Italian…. What’s not to like about this place? The bread was hot and fresh, the chicken parmigiana with spaghetti hit the spot and the tiramisu was light and airy. I loved the whole experience and they have complimentary parking. There is adequate outdoor seating too.

I had to take away one star for lack of seasoning everything needed salt which was slightly annoying! However my mom’s dish was perfect and I lovedddd the Cesar salad you can tell the dressing is made in house. My clams also weren’t that fresh had a funky taste I could finished them, we also loved the bread we got 2 round. The service was great we were ah party of 5 and we didn’t need for anything just napkins lol. This place is ah family style place quiet and quaint however it was packed on ah Saturday tables full people enjoying themselves. The drinks were also good the pear martini was my fave but it’s not pictured.

Went for a bday. Staff is primo. All the food was good. This page needed a lot more pics of the dishes. You’re welcome. The antipasto per person was a must. They got all the tastes on there. Calamari, asparagus, baked clams, some roasted peppers. I’m so stuffed. Thanks Mario’s.

Not too bad, but had higher expectation since Mario’s had such a long legacy. The ravioli tasted a bit hard at edges and I noticed some part were still hard (not fully cooked or maybe defrosted? I’m not an expert) Workers weren’t rlly friendly when we were waiting to be seated. We had to flag down many workers for them to tell us to wait for the host. Overall, service was good but not worth the trek that we made just to get to Bronx little Italy

We made reservations last evening at Mario's which was recommended by friends. I was VERY DISAPPOINTED with my meal. My appetizer was fried calamari with marinara. The marinara was delicious so I ordered spaghetti and meatballs. The marinara had a SMOKY TASTE .... I DONT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG, BUT I DID NOT EAT IT AND WILL NOT RETURN TO MARIO'S.

Horrible experience. Waited more than 45 minutes for one eggplant parmesan, and when it came, it was cold and tasted as if it had just been defrosted and tossed in the microwave. Restaurant was half empty, so why was the wait so long? Waiters were unfriendly and pushy for a tip. I waited 5 minutes at the entrance before anyone noticed me, and the owner seemed impolite and even a little racist. Now I can see why the nearby restaurants are always full except for this one. I will never come again, the prices were not worth the food and the service was awful.
