First time in Chambersburg, and we had pizza from Mario's delivered to our hotel. We thought it was fantastic! Also, the 2 16" pizzas deal was a great deal! Happy to support a local place while visiting the area. read more

I'm not sure what happened for the quality of the food and service to decrease but to say that the most memorable thing you ate at a restaurant is the bread is just sad! read more

The food was absolutely amazing! The service was top notch and the owner came out to talk with us after he cooked our food. Will definitely come back next time I'm in town. read more

I was disappointed. After ordering a antipasto salad which was 1/2 the size of what you get ins the restaurant and spaghetti that had only 3 and 12 meatballs instead of 4 with next to nothing dressing and my bill was over 42 dollars. Needless to say I will never order takeout again but neither eat inside and take the rest home or select another local restaurant. read more

We were traveling from out of state to see family and were still no where near our destination. It was dinnertime and we saw the billboard on the road for Mario's and the hand rolled meatballs sounded good, although we ended up not getting them. My spouse had the pasta with house marinara and enjoyed it. I had the pizza that was tasty, but the crust was pretty soggy, so could have been cooked a little longer. The salad was very good and had some pieces of what I'm guessing was homemade mozzarella on top, which was an impressive touch! Hopefully on another trip we'll try the meatballs! read more

At least once a week I stop in for lunch. Pizza is awesome! Hit subs are really great especially in the homemade rolls. The meatballs are fabulous and you can tell they are homemade! Give it a shot. read more

I like this place. From the music to the outside seating and the friendly service. Our server (shoot I forgot his name...I think Lucas?) was charismatic and very funny. He had such a positive attitude and I honestly think he made the entire dining experience better. Alright. I was not okay with any of the appetizers we ordered. Honestly from the appetizers, it made me NOT look forward to my meal, but I'll get to that. Do not get the bruschetta. It's not real bruschetta. Cheap? Yes. Tasty and appetizing looking? No. Save the $4 for something else. We ordered the fresh calamari - I think I rather stick with the fried. I was not a fan of the sauce. The calamari was very chewy. Again, not a fan. The soups were just okay. Nothing to rave about. Now the good part - the entrees! I highly recommend the eggplant parm! That was my favorite dish of the whole evening and saved the entire experience. Actually, our server saved the entire experience. The Seafood Mario was pretty good too, but I thought it was too expensive for what it was. I think on my next visit I'm going to skip the appetizers and go straight to the entrees. If there is anything you wanna take away from this is avoid the Bruschetta at all costs and try the Eggplant Parm ;-) I would give this a 3 star rating (which means A-OK), but our server was so great he bumped up this review to 4 stars. read more

Been coming here for years . C- burg native . Last experience was the horrible. I spend my money at the mom and pop restaurants trying to help the community. Let's just say I will never come back food was disgusting, wife couldn't even eat here meal she did not eat at all . sons chicken was so hard could use for a hammer . Waste of 60 dollars could have went to another restaurant . This place has gone way down hill . Don't waste your time or money read more

In a mood for Italian, I hit up Mario's on a weeknight. It was pretty quiet and my waitress only had two tables to work on so she was attentive and stopped by often. This can be a good thing. Salad was okay for me. I specifically asked for a dressing that did not come in a packet and their vinaigrette was tasty. Not a very exciting salad but it got the job done. Main course was the Seafood Mario and I made the mistake of going with the red sauce. You'll want to get the white sauce because really, it was all hot and spicy and not much other flavor or depth. A good amount of seafood - ten clams and five large shrimp. Yes, I counted so that my Yelp readers would know. :-) The bread rocked. read more

My boyfriend's name is Mario and I drove up for the weekend and thought it would be fun to check out Mario's. We got seated right away and the server was very nice. After he brought our drinks and took our order, then he said his shift was over and someone else would be taking care of us. She wasn't very friendly, seemed like she'd rather be doing something else. We both needed drink refills and when she finally came back we were about done and she acted like we were asking for a free meal. She brought our check, didn't say anything and just walked away. We figured we should go up front to pay and she acted like we were a pain. For the food, I wasn't impressed with my meatball sub. The bread was very good, but the meatballs have no flavor. Was disappointed about that. Would we go back... maybe. read more

This place was recommended by the Hampton Inn and did not disappoint. It was byob, which was great, since we had a wonderful bottle in our car. The server was very gracious and the food was delicious. We would definitely stop here again in our travels. read more

I am truly amazed that I have lived in Chambersburg for nearly 20 years and just are here. A friend recommended this place to me and while I have not had too many items on their menu - everything I have had has been great. The bread they use for the subs has the good crust/crisp shell and smells so good. The ingredients are fresh and so well proportioned/balanced you are not overwhelmed by any one thing. The pizza is wonderful again a beautiful balance and the crust is not to be tossed like you normally would because it's doughy and too chewy; it's a great ending to a superior slice. The service is wonderful. Also takeout is always done on time and their website it so easy. No need to make substitutions the chef knows what they are doing. Highly recommend and easy on the budget read more

Was disappointed! As one reviewer said could have gone to a chain! I guess for the price they charge for seafood with pasta would expect more. It's fine if you don't charge close to $20 for it but at that price it should come with other details. Bruschetta was bread with melted cheese and half sliced cherry tomatoes! Spending over $50 on dinner for 2 should be should be a good experience! Salad came with dressing packaged from ken's? Not for a high quality restaurant. Sorry. read more

While the food was good, the service was terrible. I was brought the wrong entree before being served the salad. Never got the bread basket. It took awhile to get the grated cheese. he chianti wine was cold. read more

So after coming to Mario's many times and really enjoying their food and their portions we decided to get some takeout on our cheat day over a competitor. They really blew it. Paid $4 for an order of cheese fries that contained maybe one full potato's worth of fries. Pizza was great, but come on Mario's! You let me down on my cheat day! :( read more

Mario's Italian Restaurant - About 1 potato in there.. Very disappointed. Ripped off. - Italian Near Me - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

Solid choice for a good "home style" meal. service was great, MacKenzie's smile was great. Food was tasty, portions were a good value, I had the Chicken Mario that was very spicy and could not finish the whole dish. She had the Chicken Limone, very nice as well. We will stop again, for sure. read more

Sadly we had dinner and was extremely disappointed my husband had veal parm ( small portion ) sauce was excellent veal tuff salad was brought out looking like someone ate half my shrimp and clams on linguine was ok shrimp was very fresh and clams too but not enough clams and very oily no wine or garlic or minced clams in the dish at all. For 19.95 was not worth it Bread was excellent and I would still be hungry if we had not got a second serving of bread We came the last time and got their pizza and was over the moon in love sooo what changed?? read more

Mario's Italian Restaurant - We were in Chambersburg and decided to lookup a pizza place on Yelp, Yelp came to Help. Numerous good reviews~ definitely coming back - Italian Near Me - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

We used to really enjoy Mario's food, but lately the quality and quantity has been disappointing. My meatball parmigiana sandwich was so dry, I wound up giving it to the dogs. We ordered a large pizza and it was the size of a small. My husband was happy with his Italian sub though. Unfortunately, we will not be getting food from them again. read more

Food is always good. Service is always average or below average. Last time I was there both draft beers were out of order. Pizza and salads are as good as anywhere in town. No beer = No me. See you when you get Yuengling on tap again. read more

Mario's Italian Restaurant - This is supposed to be bruschetta. Place is great but will pass on this next time - Italian Near Me - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

My favorite here is the ham and cheese calzone. This is a very nice sit down place to go. They have a very good Italian menu.

I ate here twice, and was expecting real cheese fries. Instead of nacho cheese, I was given some white cheese that got crusty. Very disappointed. read more

Mario's Italian Restaurant - The fries - Italian Near Me - Chambersburg, Pennsylvania

We came here after our softball tournament with over 45 players, coaches and parents. While I believe it was a bit overwhelming for a party of our size, overall they handled us well. The young lady who handled the 10u team, could have done a better job. However the food was absolutely amazing! Personally ordered cheese garlic bread, cheese fries for apps. Cheese pizza, salads, chicken tenders and spaghetti with meat meat sauce. Everything was perfect and worth the wait. read more

I love this place, the Maryland crab soup is delicious and the homemade bread is the best around. The chicken cordon blue and the cheese stuffed ravioli with Alfredo sauce is my favorites. It has outside eating in the warm months and it has a decent ambiance. read more

Eggplant parmesan.Slices served individually piled on top of bed of pasta.I will no longer stack mine. I Learned. Kennah the server was superb. 5 star and opened on monday. Cannot do any better except for it would be nice to offer thanks to the owner. We r still here. It still may happen. read more

We came in as a large group of 16 with reservations. The waitress was smacking her gum behind her mask, not very friendly, and slow. It took her about a half hour to get our drinks, and then another half hour to take our order. Then she brought out each dinner one at a time. The one helped her. The food was mediocre. read more

This is definitely THE best pizza in Chambersburg and one of the best I've ever had in general. The meats are hearty and the highest quality and the crust is absolutely perfect! Their Italian meals are phenomenal as well (highly recommend the lasagna).. the fresh bread you get with the meals is absolutely incredible! If you love delicious, AUTHENTIC pizza and Italian food there is no better place in the area! read more

Fantastic local Italian restaurant that was highly recommended by one of my customers. It met and exceeded our expectations. I had the seafood sampler, Maryland crab soup. Others had an amazing veal Marsala, the pork chops were to die for- moist and flavorful. Great service and wonderful food. Don't miss this place if you are in Chambersburg, PA. read more

Dining solo I'm dropped at the losers table. A single seat table by the window. Once I get over the snub I 'm able to enjoy the fresh calamari salad. Beer selection was weak, but the food is very good. Service is average and prices are reasonable. read more

Upon entering the establishment it was business as usual. We were sat at our table and the server came by to take our drink order. He was very friendly but had no idea about the dinner special. He offered up some style of steak stuffed with asparagus, served with lasagna and salad. When we asked what kind of steak he laughed and said he didn't know as the manager created the special yesterday and didn't tell him. Suffice to say I didn't order the special. We did order the crab soup which was hot, flavorful and delicious served up with some homemade seasoned bread. The food ordered came in good order, and the Chicken Marsala was perfectly cooked and flavorful, the grilled fish platter was lacking flavor, the fish simply had no taste and little seasoning. As for the Stromboli, I'm still paying for that one. The onions in the calzone were cut larger than French onion soup some as big as an Orange wedge, hence their lack of getting cooked. I ended up pulling all the onions out of the dough along with some of the mushrooms. How can a place serve up a calzone with raw red onions, which were past their prime, with canned mushrooms and think they will cook at the same time? To top off the meal the host tried flagging down our server to to pay the bill and finally had to yell to get his attention. He was a good server but needed to be more in tune with the needs of his tables. Overall, I give it 3 stars since I've had fantastic meals there before, but tonight not so much. Will try them again in a few weeks to see if they are still having issues or it was simply an off night. On a side note, replace your disgusting ceiling tiles. They are damaged, stained and falling and give your place a run down Italian feel. Maybe one or two spots here and there wouldn't be so bad, but it's an issue across the entire ceiling. read more

We recently ate here and we really enjoyed the food. The fresh bread was delicious and I ordered the seafood lasagna and it was great. I like the MD crab soup and it was a little spicy that day. I did not get crackers so I dipped the bread in and enjoyed it. The portions were good and the value was also good. The waitress was friendly and got everything we needed. The only reason I did not give it five stars is I think the interior needs to be updated a little. Otherwise it was a great meal and I will be returning soon. read more

On our third night in Chambersburg, where we stayed while we visited Gettysburg, my wife and I decided to try Mario's. We usually avoid Italian restaurants but today we made a wise decision. My wife ordered from the regular menu and I went with the Chef's special. They were both "no miss" choices. The food was very well prepared and the service was excellent. The fresh bread was to die for and seconds was graciously provided. The price was very reasonable and we felt right on including a glass of Chianti for me (my wife while not a teetotaller, often prefers water with dinner). We also ordered a take-out pizza for lunch on our way back home to Ontario. We recommend Mario's with no hesitation. We will visit again. read more

Wonderful little gem... authentic Italian, wonderful people, the food is outstanding!

Again! I see why everytime I visit my Mother she wants to come here. Food is prepared with fresh ingredients like you would use if you were cooking at home. They make their own rolls.

We weren't in there for 30 seconds before we got kicked out. We just asked a guy if he could move a table, but he got pissed off at us and said "i dont need your business!!! Get out" so we did and when we were leaving he said "go leave now!!" never go to Mario's. Horrible service. read more
