My friend ordered Cacio e Pepe that she thought was outstanding. I had the pappardelle ragu. The pasta was homemade. It was such a delicious dish. For dessert, Strawberry sorbetto.

The sauce is perfectly creamy with just the right amount of kick, and the crust always has that ideal crunch. What really sets Mario's apart, though, is their exceptional customer service.

Service is attentive (shout out to Louis, who brought us our dessert, and Dario for being an excellent server!). We started with the stuffed mushrooms, a generous portion of 5 pieces with a perfectly prepared sauce. The baked penne had the right amount of sauce-to-cheese ratio, and the pasta was not soggy (sometimes that happens with baked pasta). Shrimp scampi and chicken marsala rounded out our main meal, and were both excellent choices. I appreciate their decor, including exposed brick and a beautiful chandelier hanging from a recessed ceiling with hand-painted art adorning it. Go with a group and check out their menu offerings!

The menu isn't massive, but they cover every category with extreme precision and do it really well. Seafood, pasta, veal, chicken, and all the classic appetizers you can think of from stuffed artichokes, zucchini blossoms, and house-made burrata. The ambiance is old-school Italian in the best way: timeless, romantic, and cozy. It works just as well for an intimate date night as it does for a small group dinner. Bonus points for being BYOB. We ordered the veal marsala and the seafood pomodoro. The veal was pounded to perfection and swimming in a ridiculously addictive sauce. The seafood pasta was cooked perfectly and loaded with fresh shrimp, clams, and mussels and you can taste the quality and care put in the food. Meals are served with a salad to start, and you can expect to spend around $35 per entrée, which feels more than fair for the quality. We were genuinely impressed and were treated with a lot of attention throughout the meal. The concept of the restaurant being run by two italian twins was honestly so sweet. Highly recommend if you're looking for classic Italian done right without trekking into the city.
