Mario's has had the glow up of all time. Under previous ownership, it was a very solid takeout spot with great pizza and a small sit down area. Under new ownership, the pizza is still great, but the inside has undergone a full 180 transformation into a martini bar with some of the best Italian food I've ever had! Come for the martinis, stay for the food, service and ambiance. Ample parking too!

I took my wife out for an early Valentine’s dinner/anniversary and she chose Marios. They don’t take reservations on Fridays, but thankfully the wait wasn’t long at all. Asher at the host stand, was very nice and professional. He took our name and kept checking in on us, which made the short wait even more pleasant. We’ve tried almost everything on the menu over time, and each dish somehow manages to outdo the last. The food always comes out fresh, and piping hot. The owner always manages to come by our table for a hug and make sure everything was perfect, we had Camila as our server and she was on top of her game. They surprised us with a complimentary dessert as it was also our anniversary and the red velvet cake was absolutely incredible, truly out of this world. We love Marios. It’s th

I’ve been to a lot of restaurants, but Mario’s Ristorante and Martini Bar really stands out. The food? So good. The marsala pasta and that sauce. Hands down the best marsala I’ve ever had (and I eat out a lot). Absolutely nailed it. And the smores espresso martini was too good I had 2. What I loved most, though, was how personal everything felt. The staff worked like a total team. There were two girls and a young guy, and they all checked in on us. We never had to flag anyone down for anything, even though it was packed for a Wednesday night. The owner even stopped by our table to say hi, chat for a minute, and make sure everything was perfect. She was sweet. That kind of touch is rare these days and it really makes you feel like a valued guest instead of just another table.

Jessica at Marios is amazing and truly made our experience stand out. She went above and beyond not just for our table, but for the entire restaurant. She kept everything running smoothly. Very attentive, friendly, and clearly cared about both the guests and the team. It’s rare to see someone who balances great service with genuine teamwork so well. We had a fantastic experience. Jessica and the food will be part of the reason we come back. Thank you!

Mario's is a fantastic family owned restaurant with delicious food and drinks! The service has always been outstanding and everyone one is extremely friendly. My wife and I eat out quite often with work related obligations as well as just normal dining out. Mario's has the most consistent food and is hands down one of the cleanest restaurants! Highly recommend!
