Cozy little establishment with excellent food. I love mozzarella sticks and these were good with an amazing marinara sauce. Had the restaurant to ourselves as we came in early. The food was amazing to say the least. I had the Lasagna Al Forno and it was one of the best I’ve had. My wife had the Rigatoni Alla Vodka and I’m not sure I’ve ever had a pasta dish with this much amazing flavor. Well done! We were so caught up in the amazing taste of the food I forgot to ask about bread. It was a bit odd that no bread was served with our meal, but overall an excellent experience. I will be back to try the wood oven pizza!

The restaurant is very busy so a reservation is recommended. The pizza here really is excellent, starting from the aromatic airy and crispy pizza base, to the tasty tomato sauce and the delicious mozarella. According to my friends, the lasagna was okay, but it lacked the béchamel sauce to make it really good. Apparently, the lasagna was more the American than the Italian version of lasagna. Also the shrimp salad was not the best. It was way too overpriced in my opinion for what you eventually get served. However, the pizza is really a awesome and tastes just like I know it from my vacation in Naples. So if you crave a good authentic Napoletan pizza then paying this restaurant a visit really pays off.

We had a fantastic experience here! After walking around for a while trying to find a place to eat that didn’t have a wait, we stumbled upon Mario’s. We were seated right away and our server was very friendly. He was on top on his game and had very fast service. We got the gnocchi with chicken added and the little Italy pizza. We had a delicious Chianti wine that we loved and are now trying to find bottles in stores. We ordered a cheesecake and they gave us 2 slices instead of one since it was near the end of the night. We highly recommend Mario’s!

This was the best meal my husband and I have ever had. We knew as soon as we tasted the sauce on the meatball appetizer that we were going to love the food. Previously, our favorite Italian restaurant was in San Francisco. To our surprise, this place easily beat it. Highly recommend giving it a try! The carbonara and rigatoni alla vodka were phenomenal!

Amazing food and fast service. I honestly couldn’t have asked for better Italian comfort food at the end of a King street day drinking adventure! The staff and owner were extremely hospitable and I can’t speak highly enough of the cuisine. A must try if you’re visiting Charleston

One of the best Italian restaurant I’ve visited. I got the Tagliatelle Alfredo and my girlfriend got the same but without chicken. The staff is very helpful! I’ve tried their pizza as well and it’s so good.

Update: I was so excited to go back to my favorite authentic Italian restaurant in Charleston SC, and well, I’m assuming tourism got to them. This time…sucked. It didn’t matter how friendly I was to the waitress or how obvious we were patiently waiting. It appeared the waitstaff didn’t give a …….
