The seafood risotto was very delicious! It was our favourite dish among the 4 dishes we ate. Price is reasonable. All dishes were served in appropriate portion with an option to add cheese on top. Every staff was friendly, and they were accommodating to children’s food and beverage request. Lots of outdoor parking outside.

This place is going on our list of Italian restaurants. My fettuccine Alfredo wasn’t the best I’ve had, but it was good. Hubbies baked canniloni was awesome, loved the marinara, but wish there was more of it. Service was excellent and ambiance was great.

This place caused the entire parking lot to smell of garlic. Yum! We ordered the eggplant parm and the tortellini ala pesto. Both were good but, other than garlic, lacked seasoning. The eggplant was not breaded and fried, which is odd.

Dan Bryant

The service was outstanding! Both entrées that my significant other and I enjoyed were excellent. We ordered the mushroom risotto as a third entrée, but shared it as an appetizer. It was also excellent. I will be back soon to try other entrées.

Terrance King (TKArt4you)

This was ok, the food tasted ok and the service was good, The price to portion ratio is a little bit to pricey for how much is actually on the plate. Also in getting the risotto, the meal should be about the rice and how it is cooked not a quick rice with a ton of sauce on it, it is called Risotto not Sauceotto. Probably will not be back for a while, if ever again. If you are going to have fine dinning prices you should make sure to have fine dinning food.

Waiter Shawn was great! 5 Stars! He Definitely knows how to attend a big party! Explained the menu and all the drinks & even made good recommendations. Everyone’s food looked very good. The Chicken Portofino was delightful. Give Mario’s a try and don’t forget the Grappa and some Dessert ☕ (a few pics uploaded for you 3/2019)
