$16.25 for a 10" personal pizza...umm, it's $2/topping
Alissa A.

A picture is worth a thousand words.... I'm not happy w/ the portion size or quality. I tipped ahead of time, the app said the pizza was ready & it wasn't. Everything is basically twice the amount it should be. Everything is extra...$2/topping and you even pay extra for sauce. I thought I'd support local, seeing its right up the street and try it out but it's nothing special. =/

The dipped Italian beef sandwich, notice the inside of the bread, only  the whole bun was dipped so the inside is dry.
Steven T.

I have driven past this place for years and decided to give them a try because I was craving an Italian beef dipped/hot which is the only way I order Italian beef. The place itself is a little step up from a cheap looking fast food but nothing fancy with booths/tables and window seating. The woman who took my order was nice and did a great job. The menu is pasta, pizza, sandwiches, appetizers etc but I'm there for the Italian beef dipped/hot. The Italian beef looked great and meaty with the giardiniera peppers on the side. After the first couple of bites I'm thinking that this is the driest dipped beef sandwich I have ever had and how could this be because it looks dipped at first glance. Aah I see what is going on here, see my pictures because only the bread was quickly dipped and than sliced, topped with the dry beef that was not directly pulled from Au Jus. The half that I took with me that sat in my car for an hour didn't even have enough Au Jus to wet the top of the bread, thats how dry it was, see my picture. The Italian beef sandwich had great potential if it was dipped whole, Chicago style but it was not executed properly and was completely average at best. The Italian beef here will not replace my favorite place which I should went to. If you get an Italian Beef here ask them to dip the whole sandwich which will make it much more enjoyable.

Why ohh why can't 3.5 stars be a rating? I had been craving fettuccine alfredo for days. And last night I was also very committed to the couch and the wearing of stretchy pants. I've never had food from Mario's before and saw that they would deliver fettuccine alfredo to my house. Honey, you don't have to tell me twice. Sold. I'm so glad that I did because this is easily some of the best fettuccine alfredo in life. It tastes homemade. It tastes of actual cheese. It was so yumm! I even started to yumm out loud. Even the pasta was cooked perfectly. I'm definitely putting my stretchy pants back on for this! I also ordered wings. Don't do what I did. Wings are not their specialty. I liked the type of preparation but they were really overcooked and dry. The cheesecake brownie is really good. I ordered the food off of a meal delivery service however the restaurant itself delivers the purchase. No big deal but the ETA given by the food delivery service was not determined by the restaurant itself and there was a lot of variance between the time given and when food actually arrived.

I decided to order from Marios's on a whim. I really enjoy food and make an effort to eat as many places as possible while most importantly supporting local eats. We ordered the Shrimp Alfredo Chicken parm And, cheesy garlic bred The shrimp Alfredo came with shell on but no tails. So it was quite frustrating to eat. In addition to this it says you're paying $4 for 6 pieces of shrimp. I received 9 pieces of VERY VERY small shrimp that were not fresh in the slightest and quite fishy in addition to being INCREDIBLY over cooked. It was honestly an insult to the rest of the meal since I can tell there is very sincere attention payed to the crafting of the Alfredo. It was creamy, rich, and delicious; clearly this is a labor of love and is home made. The chicken parm was soggy and clearly made from frozen chicken, but again the flavor profile was COMPLETELY THERE! Unfortunately the breading was soggy and lacking sufficient amounts of cheese. The cheesy garlic bred was decent. It was heavily buttered and equally heavily coated in cheese. While the cheese was melted it was barely done so. Instead I feel like the cheese should have been slightly crisped and bubbling. More over, the marinara sauce was poorly made, lacked flavor, and was incredibly viscous. So much so that it was like dipping bred in water instead of a well cultivated sauce. Overall I'm on the fence about referring people to eat at this establishment. While I enjoyed the Alfredo it seemed to be the ONLY saving grace of this entire order. I sincerely hope the establishment makes improvements on the quality of ingredients they use in an attempt to elevate an already solid foundation of a product they offer.

This was a very great experience. The family really enjoyed the time we spent here. At first I was a bit skeptical but wow. I'm glad they proved me wrong. First we sat for a little bit. Not for the order to be taken but to receive the food. I was thinking this was going to be the run of the mill heating up frozen pizza and pasta. When The food came out it was all fresh ingredients. And oh so tasty. I'm not really big on Alfredo but this was awesome. It was freshly made and didn't come from a jar. You could smell the garlic wafting up. Mmmm. The pizza was like the one we see on tv! The cheese was for days. Oh my. Yes. The customer service was excellent. The location was excellent. The prices were fair. Overall I would recommend!

Fish fry, Frozen fish
Suzanne C.

I ordered the Fish Fry and was stunned by what was delivered. Overcooked fish sticks that they didn't even bother to separate before cooking. As you can see by the pictures, when I broke it open , by being stuck together, the breading isn't even cooked inside & was disgusting. I should have taken a picture of it in my trash, uneaten. If they don't care about the quality they send to customers I felt I needed to let people know to spend their hard earned money elsewhere. #dontwasteyourmoney

Met friends at Zaffiro's for dinner, a place they consider one of their favorites. They have always…read moreraved about how incredible the pizza is, and I have to agree. This old school, family owned restaurant is very much a neighborhood classic that has stood the test of time. The thin crust is the perfect base for the amazingly tangy Italian sauce. The toppings are generously portioned, and the pizza (available in 12" & 14") is cut into squares, which make it all too easy to eat more! We started with the fried mushrooms and eggplant, which were very generously sized. Our table of four barely made a dent. The breading on both was great, trapping in the heat, flavors and firmness of the veggies. The eggplant especially, which in my experience can be mushy, was excellent. I loved how it was served with lemon wedges. The tartness of the lemon mixed with the zest of the marinara sauce made the eggplant something I could have eaten just by itself. The restaurant has a bar area first, then a dining room adjacent. The tables here are packed in pretty tight. We ended up at a corner table, and could bump elbows with the people sitting next to us. Still, everyone was respectful of each other's space and no issues were had. Our servers maneuvered through effortlessly and quickly.

I love Zaffiro's: so many of my friends think only of pizza but the menu is so much more!…read more There are options for dining (room or by and at the bar) and a full bar. Every time I go, I always think, "They come to take orders or simply check on us the perfect amount"--I know they want to ensure I've got everything I need but they don't feel overbearing (this is regarding servers or the bartender). Finally, I order the same thing each time: garden salad with house Italian dressing and the special pizza (sausage, mushroom, onion). Salad is crisp and the pizza is consistent--the best.

We had a great first dining experience at Tauro Cocina! I kept hearing about how great of a spot it…read moreis, but haven't been to this building since it was Trocadero back in the day. I love the location of this restaurant, a cozy little nook set apart from the business of downtown but still so accessible! With events happening at the fiserv and new music venue in the deer district, it was a welcome reprieve from the action. The restaurant itself is lively but chill - is there a word for that!? lol very laid back, friendly and informed staff. We were able to snag a seat at the bar which was great - it's probably got 12-15 seats. Full dinner service too! My husband got a mezcal old fashioned (not on the menu) and I got a spicy margarita. Both were great! As for food, the menu is eclectic, but everything looks and tasted great! We got 2 appetizers, the bruschetta and stuff pepper - both were delish!! And then we shared the braised beef risotto topped off the night with a spirit free strawberry Fresca & churros (SO GOOD). Great experience for deciding last minute and getting a walk in spot.

First time coming here…read more Food: The menu has a lot of excellent choices. The drink menu features plenty of specialty cocktails, and I took our server's recommendation and ordered the Whisky Paloma, which was an excellent choice. I loved the chili dust along the rim. If you like pizza, they have an interesting selection featuring ingredients such as peaches, figs, and bacon. It was hard to decide, but I ended up ordering the Burrata pizza with grilled peaches, arugula, and honey. It was very good and would have been even better with a few more grilled peaches. I also ordered the grilled octopus because, if it's on the menu, I just have to try it. It was very good, along with the accompanying roasted potatoes. I prefer my octopus well grilled and firm, and this preparation was a bit softer than I would have liked. We finished with the tiramisu, which was a little disappointing. It was both very cold, as though it had just been thawed, and a bit soggy. Service: The service was very good throughout the evening. We were seated right away, and our server did a nice job of getting us settled in. The drinks and food arrived surprisingly quickly, and we felt well attended to throughout the meal. Thanks, Robert! Atmosphere: The building is a gem, with old brick on the outside and a modern, relaxing design on the inside. There is a foyer where guests are greeted and can wait for their tables. The wood wall treatments and lighting are inventive and upbeat. The many hard surfaces make the acoustics a bit loud, but we were still able to have a conversation comfortably. Overall, it was a very good experience. With a bit more attention to some of the final touches on the food, this could have been an even better experience. We would enjoy coming back again.

We have ordered garlic knots, cheese pizza and the margherita pizza multiples times- summer of 2025 however, now we can clearly conclude that they have downgraded their service and food. Previously we had fluffy garlic knots, smothered in sauce and parmesan however now they are serving burnt pizza crust with a sprinkle of parmesan in place of what they are advertising on their website. The pizza dough was still raw and not edible. Perhaps management has changed, as their phone number and location within the building also have and the previous menu is no longer offered which supports this theory. We did order close to closing time and inquired whether it was too late to place an order however they proceeded to take our order regardless. We would have been more satisfied if they had let us know it was too late and they would not be able to provide the quality service we had been given before. Upset to say that we will no longer be ordering from brute, they have officially lost their game.
