Mario's Restaurant

A true Arthur ave restaurant experience. Went for lunch and lord was it good. Large and delicious portions. Waiter was so knowledgeable about the menu and so patient. I had veal parm and my wife had fucilli . What an awesome sauce. We had a cannoli, fresh and so crispy. The best ever. They have parking around the corner and if you validate the ticket it’s free. Loved it.

This is for the comment below mine. In my opinion if you go out to eat & don’t like your food you should say something. Way to grown to not speak up. Second, if you can’t afford to tip don’t go out. The total of food & tip is separate. You pay for food, plus the service. It’s not like it’s the waiters fault you didn’t enjoy your food. He didn’t make it. That comment saying “ I told him it’s not my job to compensate him for his low earnings. If he or any other service associate want to be properly compensated go get a job that entails a livable wage.” Broke & ignorant mindset. Period If the service was bad I would understand but if they were asking you if you enjoyed your food & you didn’t give an honest answer that’s on you. If you broke just say that. Not leaving a tip is crazy & getting upset because they were asking if you enjoyed your food & you getting upset about that rather than being honest in a polite way is crazier. Hate when people take stuff out on the servers like if they are the ones in the kitchen. There’s way to go about things and that was not it. I said what I said.

The comment about the owner being a racist is both offensive and laughable. My family of color has been eating at Mario's for 50 years. We have been celebrating special occasions here for decades. My parents took us here, we took our children and now our children take their children. They have always treated us like family. My Dad passed away a week before Father's Day in 2002, the Migliucci family delivered a fully catered spread to our home in his honor. The food and service has always been top notch. There's a reason why they've been in business for over 100 years!!

My grandparents used to come here for date nights back in the day. My mother and I decided to make a trip to their old neighborhood and visit their favorite restaurant. It’s exactly as expected with beautiful low lights, comforting music, and delicious food. I highly recommend the penne alla vodka and any glass of red. The pasta is fresh and the bread is warm. Make sure to order a bit extra bread to get all the extra sauce. It’s worth it. We will definitely be back.
