    Scallops with spinach risotto over butternuts squash.... Fabulous!!!!
    Patricia B.

    Mario's is my favorite choice for dinner and an event. The ambiance is so relaxing and live music on weekends. The Service is outstanding, best ever. Now the food, where to begin. One of my favorites is the Chicken Parm, sooooo good. The meatball salad is to die for, and the meatball OMG. My husband loves all the specials. We have had several private parties there and they were fantastic, everyone loved the food. Highly recommend!!!

    My wife Lisa and I! Awesome dinner

    We both had awesome dinners! My Chicken Francaise and my wife's Panko stuffed chicken were both perfect! Very tasty and tender and not overcooked. And they make a great Pasta Fagioli too! Which I love! Service was spot on. Waitress was very attentive and timely! never waited long for anything. Kind of a strange layout for the place. When you first walk in there is big oval bar with some bar tables then the dining room is through some double doors and seperated from the bar area. When we got there the bar was completely full (they have music here) and we were the only ones in the dining room at first then about 10-15 people trickled in. Not saying it was bad and if you wanted a quieter dinner experience it separates it from the music in the bar area. They also have another side room for private functions. Oh also love their meatballs that I got on another visit. All in all you won't be disappointed. Nice job Mario and staff!

    Great food. Ambiance is awesome. Nice big bar and a bunch of tables. Service was great. Music daily. Portions are huge and very reasonably priced.

    My delicious shrimp scampi

    I've been to Mario's many times now, really have had nothing to complain about. I really have come to love their half price appetizer special from 4 to 6, the eggplant rollotini keeps me coming back! They have I think 6 taps at the bar and keep it fresh and seem to change one or two pretty often so you won't get bored. The bertenders have all been extremely good and quick on my drinks even when they are packed, and always fun and smiling. The dining room setting is comfortable and perfect for a beautiful night out with my fiance or family. I haven't had an issue walking in and being seated for dinner, but they are busy sometimes so now I call for a reservation if I know we are going out. The servers have been very knowledgeable about the items on their menu. Every waitress is always attentative and prompt as well as friendly. They were surprisingly accommodating when we had a cousin with us that has a severe gluten allergy and she was able to enjoy her meal with the rest of us without worry, as many times when she eats out she isn't able to eat if the kitchen can't assure it's completely gluten free. Food is incredible! Need I say more? Ok I will, they do specials very often and keep a good rotation on menu items. One of my favorites is the shrimp scampi with sausage, or a while ago they had a swordfish over linguine dish that I would die to have again. The servings are very generous and I never leave hungry. Again I'm gonna say how awesome the half price apps are for just stopping in at happy hour. If your local like we are and looking for somewhere to eat that has a nice atmosphere you should really try Mario's, we've tried many places close by and have been less than impressed by a few of them for one reason or another. Can't beat Mario's yet, a good restaurant with great food and even better service.

    Gorgonzola Filet

    Wow, what a gem this place is! We went with a group of 7 for my birthday dinner and had a wonderful experience. We sat in the main restaurant area but there is also seating available around and at the bar that is located in the lobby of the shops. There was live music which was really nice too! Service was a little slow but our super friendly waitress had the whole dining room by herself so that was no fault of hers. The fresh bread and olive oil is delicious. We ordered the polenta and mozzarella carozza appetizers and both were fantastic. The flavors in the polenta - cheese, Italian sausage and arugula - blended so well together. We ordered a variety of entrees. The gorgonzola filet was the winner, cooked perfectly medium rare and so deliciously savory. The beef maximillion was also very good, mine was a little over cooked but I could overlook it because of the mushroom based sauce/gravy it was cooked in. The fettuccini Alfredo was great - creamy and flavorful without being overly rich. The baked cod was flaky and perfectly cooked. The chicken Parm was good but was not the favorite of the person that tried it. Each entree came with a soup (vegetable - very good!) or salad and a bowl of penne with red sauce. The sauce had a great flavor to it, simple and balanced. We were too full to try dessert but plan to make room for some during our next visit. The bill came to ~$250 before tip which was reasonable for 7 people, 5 of which also ordered drinks. If you haven't been to Mario's yet - you should go! I know we'll be back!

    Returning to our hometown, East Longmeadow from Georgia gave us the opportunity to enjoy dinner at Mario's with old friends. Plus celebrate my wife's unmentionable age birthday. Thursday also is the last weekday of the prix fixe special of bruschetta, salad, pasta, 4 entrees (scrod francaise, beef filets, chicken picatta, or veal parmigiana) & dessert for only $20!! Delicious AND very reasonable usually don't go together. The decor is upscale NYC and a far cry from this suburban town norm. Service a la Karen was perfect and the owner's personal touch congratulating the Missus was most appreciated. My regret is traveling 1000 miles to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine here BUT we'll be back as often as we visit our grandchildren nearby!

    Great Italian food. Love the big bar, and the dining room is upscale and comfortable. My favorite dish is the meatball salad.

    Ok, this is my first time ordering from here. Our usual delivery spot was closed today so.... I…read morejust have one thing to say.... WHY SO EXPENSIVE?! Just because you're establishment is in a rich area/town, doesn't mean you should charge so much! I don't think that's fair. The whole thing: Large Pizza & two orders of wings was a total of over 50$. To me, that's crazy. Our usual place doesn't usually charge this much & has deals. Got the pizza & wings. The pizza was great. Very light, not greasy at all and stayed true to the toppings we asked for. The Wings on the other hand, were salty AF, more so than saucy. That's sad. I like my wings crispy and saucy. Not like that at all. My fam said the BBQ wings were better. Overall, lovely experience, but i'll stick to my usual.

    I don't usually leave reviews, but this experience was unacceptable and honestly I'm still mad…read more We called in a takeout order, picked it up, drove home, and realized we had been given someone else's food. We called the restaurant, and instead of immediately remaking both orders, they asked us to bring the food back because they wanted to swap the orders. That means they intended to give the other customers the food that had already been taken to our house, and give us the food that had already been taken to theirs. When we got back to the restaurant, they acted like they had remade our food. I took it out to the car, and the first thing I noticed was the to-go container was already broken. Then I realized the food was cold. It became obvious that it wasn't freshly made at all.....it was the original order that the other customers had already taken home before realizing it wasn't theirs because we had been given their food. The worst part wasn't even the initial mistake. Mistakes happen. It was being lied to and made to believe they had prepared fresh food when they hadn't. They only offered to remake the order after we had already figured out what happened. Not only was the customer service disappointing, but the thought of exchanging food that had already left the restaurant and gone into someone else's home between customers is completely unacceptable. We expected much better. Now have to wait 2 days for the money to go back on the card like it grows on trees...
