Mario’s Restaurant

A lovely, heart-warming restaurant. Both food and the service feels like home. The dishes taste very fresh. The veal is very juicy, tender, and has a lot of flavor. The hidden menu is a surprise. I saw a lot of reviews online about the lasagna & meatball. It worth a try, indeed. I did not have more room in my belly to try the desserts, but would definitely go back again. There are small tables for 1-2 people, great for a date or simply enjoy food by yourself, and also big tables that could fit a large party, like around 10 people.

We were fortunate to have the owner of 41 years serve us. You have not experienced Boston if you have not been to Mario's. Hands down best homemade Italian food. Lobster🦞 ravioli, meatballs, desserts and more were all delicious!

While you may think all the great Italian restaurants are in the North End, Mario's is definitely the exception. The pasta and sauces are homemade and the staff makes you feel like you're a guest in their personal home. They have some of the best veal parmesan I've ever had!! Having grown up in the Boston area surrounded by Italian families, I like to think I know my Italian food. Anytime we get back to Boston, I always treat my wife to an Italian restaurant. We tried Mario's as it was closer to our hotel than traveling to the North End, and boy are we glad we did. Definitely in my top 3 and it should be on your MUST TRY list!

The servers were wonderful. The food was great. I felt like I was eating at my family's restaurant. That's how i felt but in reality I was a stranger. Wonderful people great food. Loved the experience and will be back every time I am in town.

Update: 6/2024 we still LOVE this place and the staff is so heart warming. It's a welcoming environment. I added my favorite lasagna and my hubby gets the chicken parm with Alfredo sauce. My husband and I went here for dinner this past Wednesday and loved it. Not only do you get authentic Italian food but the staff takes care of you like a guest in their home. A new favorite. We'll be coming back!
